Blurring the boundaries beautifully between electro, techno and house, this release represents pure poison in the musical melting pot that is the dance music industry.

Let’s look at the title track – the original mix of ‘Emulate’ by Gino’s and Snake Plissken.

This sounds like the soundtrack-that-never-was to The Matrix — the dark, underground one that would have suited it better.

Chick 1

Def Jaguar [iO Music]

Written by: The Last Real DJ Alive
Filed under: Music Recommendations: chick 1, def jaguar, io music

‘Chick 1’ by Def Jaguar and its respective remixes showcase a full range of electro house styles.

As you’d expect, the original track is the best — it’s completely inspirational, and its minimalist style has given license to its remixers to go crazy.

Memories/Special Friend

Gabe Catanzaro [Mental Groove]

If you’re going to do Italo nowadays, you should either try to faithfully recreate the tear jerking melodies and high energy rhythms like Alden Tyrell does, or drag it into an acid-soaked chamber and temper its tendency to go off on an uptempo reverie with tight claps and primal Chicago rhythms, in the way that Legowelt or Orgue Electronique do.

Fans of the original incarnation of the NYC label, Strictly Rhythm, must have been eager with excitement at their revival under the stewardship of Simon Dunmore and the Defected team.

Chicago-based label dotbleep is the brainchild of Justin Long.

Following in the proud tradition laid out by Derrick Carter, the label is famous for the output that has had a bumpin house music flavour to its releases.

Although in dotbleep’s case it tends to be fried in acid!
