Knights of House

Lancelot is back again with a damn fine house track.

With elements of nu-disco and a great chill beat, Lancelot's "Spoke Word" is a great track to finish out the day.

Free downloads on this one so get to it!

More like 'Tonefixer'

JJ Stonebreaker AKA Tonebreaker/DJ^3 from Austin, TX dropped me a nice little gift this afternoon with his latest set "Stoke, Until the Cold Coals Smolder". I found his set the perfect companion to the afternoon leg of my work day, a masterfully crafted journey through chillville and beyond. Im going to quote him here for some extra special bonus insight:

"So this mix is an experiment. I realized I really hadn’t done a ‘Progressive’ mix in a long long time… Really since ‘Drizzle’. That said, I also didn’t want to do a purely progressive mix as I’ve really been enjoying the blending of generas, tempos and textures instead of staying with one theme. This mix contains music from movie scores, older progressive tracks, organic instrumentation and even a couple of tunes from a video game. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did arranging it. Thanks for listening."

Back once again with that poison

Looks like we have another Bell Biv Devoe Remix that has surfaced. This time around we have a wonderfully kicked back lurker from BootySweat (yes, BootySweat). BootySweat hails from Lexington KY, and has a wonderful selection of big bass and glitch style mash-ups, so be sure to cruise by his soundcloud for more Booty bumpers!

hotties making hotness

I never really got into the mash-ups, but sometimes one comes along with just such a great set of artists/songs it can't be overlooked.

Jane Doze did just that when they decided to hook a Gramatik track and Lauren Hill together with gorgeous precision.

Jane Doze - a mash-up/remix duo from NY have been dishing out some fresh mash goodness since early 2010.

Keep an eye out for these ladies, I know I will!

Your Tuesday Coffee

OH REDIAL. You dun did it again.

Redial is back with a new track "Hit the Brakes" off of what I believe will be his upcoming album.

This one is just a banger through and through.

With a great catchy synth lead, some heavy goodness throughout, and the hip-hop-esque beat, I am sold.

Hit The Brakes by Redial

Looks to be another one of those days!

I love waking up to goodies in my soundcloud inbox!

I've been following RUFUS for quite some time now, and I am super happy with their progression.

With their nu-disco style synths, large swells, and strong indie-dance vocals, everything these guys touch turns to gold.

Based out of Sydney, this three piece is really starting to heat up.

Check it out and snag the download!

paint it bronze

Hey Waxhole!

Happy to present you guys with another Bronze Whale remix.

With an upbeat synth lead and bright vocals, Youth Lagoon's pre-released version of "Daydream" was a great platform for this remix.

Bronze Whale introduced post-dubstep drum beats and a cut/glitch vocals to shake it up.

Enjoy!

happy plants make happy ears

Shout out to @musicaddiction for introducing me to this track and a great new producer to follow.

We Plants Are Happy Plants is a talented producer based out of Budapest, Hungary.

Currently working on his third full length album, his glitchy synth driven sound is not something to be overlooked.

It was WPAHP's chilled out remix of Radiohead's "Codex" that really caught my eye.

ENJOY!

Unsub, Unreal

Unsub just recently made her way to the blog and while I ripped through her catalogue, she went and uploaded an EP which is released under the True Score Theory label and can be found here..

As much as I wanted to post the entire album (all 4 tracks are definitely massive, massive tunes) I chose this particular one to feature.

Check out her other offerings and be entranced. There's so much to listen, download, buy and sample that you could (nee, SHOULD) spend an entire weekend shuffling through her catalogue

Protohype Monday Blues

Protohype, one of those artists where I get really excited when they release a new track, whether remix or original, just dropped one and it does not disappoint. Melodic dubstep sounds almost counterintuitive to the unwashed heathen, but for those that have been following his stuff, you know that this is quite accurate.

Take a listen to his latest offering and you will see the other side of the oft-maligned genre of dubstep. It can be delicious and it can be jamming without being cartoonishly "filthy".

And if you missed the first time he was featured on our blog, check out his Soundcloud page to see what you've been missing.

Elliott Mars floods The Waxhole!

It seems that the end of the month is when all of our favorite artists want to release new tracks on us. And who are we to refuse?

The latest entry is Elliott Mars with his big tune We Are Alien, included on an upcoming EP. It's really well done and one that I think you all will enjoy thoroughly.

Check it, check Elliott's Soundcloud, and check the upcoming EP. That's three things, but all three are worthwhile.

Sufjan / Made in Heights / Big pile of Awesome

Big ups to @dandelany for parting the seas of bogus music, to bring forth this outstanding slice of winning.

Made in Heights took a gorgeous sample from Sufjan Steven's "Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland" and upped the ante with some beautiful female vocals and their signature beat style.

Another great day for your earholes

Gramatik consistently puts out amazing songs.

With such a great urban feel to his material, it's hard not to fall in love with his style.

F.A.Q's remix of Gramatik - "Itz Over" takes takes it one step further.

Crank it up, and snatch the free download!

stuck on repeat

If you are looking for a very original ambient sound, look no further than Submerse.

Based out of Cheshire, Submerse has been stomping out his own brand of Garage/Two-step for the past few years.

I just can't stop listening to this one and trying to figure out how he dreamed up this drum beat.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Ratatat gets that Re-Rub

Kinematix has introduced himself quite noisily to The Waxhole what with that bumpin track from last week and now with this remix of Ratatat which he dropped recently, he's firmly ensconced on our wall schematic of emerging artists. Not only is this a great original track, but Kinematix treats it so well and makes it a nice little glitchy alternate.

Kinematix was nice enough to provide a little background into the track when asked.

"I decided to flip this track when I was digging through some tunes I had not heard in a while and Ratatat popped up. I saw "Drugs" and remembered the last time I heard it, I wanted it to be all slowed down and funked out.... Turned out it had some nice cuts for a funky glitch-hop track."

Yeah I'd say that track had some potential, and Kinematix unlocked it quite well.

Check Kinematix's Soundcloud page for more great remixes and mashups and keep an eye out for an album he's working on that should be out within the next couple of months.

Gladkill drops that stanky leg

LA producer Gladkill recently dropped this original banger.

I am a huge fan of any producer than can mix elements of heavy and gentle into the same track, and this guy does just that.

"Insomnia" from Disciples of Headtron Vol. 1 displays Gladkills ability to lay down articulate synth work that builds out each drop and chop with almost surgical precision.

So start your Monday off with a banger!



Wanted to throw in this bonus track. Came out last year and it's really outstanding.
Metric-Twilight Galaxy (Gladkill Remix) by Gladkill

The less known hangover remedy

Whilst couch surfing this morning, looking for some down-tempo goodness to soothe a pretty gnarly hangover, I stumbled across a Nosaj Thing remix of a Deadelus track.

I really love when two musicians with a two takes on a general style of music combine. Both are California based dj/producers, and both put out an incredible live show.

So find a sunny spot, kick back, and let Deadelus "It's Maddness" (Nosaj Thing Remix) wash over you!

Sunday Amor

I've been jammin this tasty little track for awhile now and on this crisp, sunny Sunday morning, I think it deserves to see the light of day. It's an homage to Aaliyah whom I am a big fan of and it gets the soul and chill just right with Sonora adding the nice laid back moombahton beat for some spice.

Sonora, out of San Antonio, TX, is all over the map, genre-wise, slightly trending most towards moombahton, but when he drops these love tunes on you, you can't help but get in the kood.

Check his stylings, whether juke, lovestep, moombah or remixes, he's got you covered.

Friday Night Observer

So when two of my favorite artists collaborate I always get a little too excited for my own good. But I've done it again for K Theory and Blunt Instrument (my favorite Aussie glitch artists) and their collab The Observer. And when I say I wasn't disappointed, well...I wasn't, ok?  Not only do they get the grooving beat and the nice synthy punch, but they add some scratchin and some synth lines to further accentuate the track.

Whether you're a Blunt Instrument fan or a K Theory fan (You should really be a fan of both) this track is definitely worth checking out, buying and bumping in your Cutlass.

And if you are ready for more awesome after listening to this, check out K Theory's page and Blunt Instrument's for a ton of freebies, remixes and bangin' originals.

oops. got your ears pregnant..

Round here we celebrate the "Friday Banger".

So I couldn't think of a better way to get some booties shakin' than dropping some of Austin's own Dr. Deimos.

I have posted some of Deimos's content previously, and I have to say I am just really impressed with the energy and driving synths he consistently brings to his music.

So get your speakers rattling and start your weekend off right!

(free download)

Yes Yes

Two months since the last Draper release and I am happy with what I am hearing. Usually an established remixer has trouble exciting me with an original but not on this go. Keep an eye on this one.

Friday Lounge

Had the pleasure of talking with Landwhale on turntable this morning.

Going through his soundcloud, I found a DJ Shadow remix of "Scale it Back".

I think the thing that really caught me on this song was the use of a live instrument sound to give this remix a feeling that it could almost have been an original.

LW has been working on electronic music for 5+ years. Definitely a fun find!

Check out his bandcamp HERE

So ready for the Weeknd

The Weeknd, like you've never heard. No I swear. I know there've been a load of Weeknd remixes thrown out there and admittedly a lot of them are good. But this one? This one really takes it to another level. It's enough to chill you out, but also get you hyped. Funny how that dichotomy works, but it does so here.

As for the rest of Sovereign Sect's stuff? Well they (Sovereign Sect is made up of three producers and a drummer) have an album out that I implore everyone to purchase and bump. It's got enough lazer bass to BBQ a herd of rhino's. Yeah it's THAT good.

Check this remix and check that album right'chere. It's the dopeness.

Why can't every day be a Sugarpill Thursday

Sugrapill is a big favorite of mine and when he dropped this Big Sean remix I was all over it like...well..like a LOT. I'm not really a fan of the original but Sugarpill massaged it enough where I not only like this track but love it!

Check it and then go to his page and check out the rest of his great great stuff.

falcon punch your brain

Full credit to our very own THiNK for introducing me to this track.

For lack of better words.. its just really f%&#@^& awesome.

Take a little break-beat, add some wacked out synth leads, then finish it off with some hip-hop verses and I am a smitten kitten.

Sure it's a bit dated, but its hot, so turn your speakers to 11 and enjoy Fulgeance's take on Architeq's "Birds of Prey"!

something to sink your fangs into..

I was introduced to DUNE FANGS by a friend (homeydontplaythat) a while back.

I just love the odd use of synth and break-beat feel this kid is pumping out.

His new song "Coven" is a perfect example. With spaced out synths and a great instrumental hip hop style, this one had my foot tapping.

Looks like he has some name your own price content on his BandCamp HERE, so get to downloadin'!

MartyParty delivers that Purple

So MartyParty comes at us with some more greatness on a day when there's a lot hitting the Waxhole inboxes.

MartyParty's been in the studio with Ooah getting more PANTyRAiD greatness lined up but hasn't forgotten his fans and released a threesome of tracks for us.

Check out those tracks on his Soundcloud page for freebies and other greatness.

Thursday Crush

This guy ONE4ALL has been on my radar for awhile and have been loving his stuff. He recently did a remix that is equally crunk as it is fly. Crunkfly is the next genre...bank on it!

Anyway, this remix shows ONE4ALL's prowess at taking a good original and making it so much better.

ONE4ALL also has an album out that should be checked out (Can be found here). That thing has so much greatness included buying it would be travestial (my new made up word for the day. You're welcome)

New wonderments

KineMatix came out of nowhere when he dropped by our room on Turntable.fm yesterday. Turns out this gent from Boulder, CO. has been cranking out bangers left and right for some time now. He has an excellent selection of sounds ranging from dubstep to funky electro and glitch hop, all of which are worth a listen. This morning im going to highlight his latest track "Be like McFly" - a super funky glitched out heater. Jam this one nice and loud and give him a follow at his soundcloud!

More Dylon?

Das Heat is a flippin machine.

This one popped out a few hours ago, and as well as being a sucker for Das Heat's beat structure, I can't say no to Miike Snow.

With a relatively up-beat feel, Das Heat slapped his signature beats and cut vocals on this one to really bring up the dance feel.

This one also has a free download so get to it!

Early morning stumble

Found a couple goodies in my inbox this morning.

First thing that caught my eye was this haunting Stumbleine remix of Submerse's "Kowai".

With a cool ambient vibe, and stellar female vocals, this one fits nicely with my morning coffee :D

Looks like there is a free download on this so gank away!

Hope you guys enjoy!

Did someone say Kimbra?

Kimbra seems to be a household name these days due to her success with Gotye's Someone That I Used To Know. People tend to forget she is an artist with her own catalogue. And then to further that, people seem to miss some of the remixes that were done back then when she just had her album out.

But now we have this track getting the love from Blunt Instrument, a glitch hop and remix duo from Australia (and big favorites of us here at Waxhole), and he knocks it out of the park.

Check it out and buy into the Kimbra hype. She's pretty good and probaboly wouldn't lay an egg on SNL like someone else we could name....

Even Better

Jenova 7 dropped a wonderful surprise on us today when he dusted off this super funky Daft Punk remix of his from back in 2008. I love the ever so slight chopping, and subtle additions layered into the original - this is how remixing should be done. We are all big fans of Jenova 7 here at the Waxhole, make sure to drop by his soundcloud and check out his latest works, which you could easily burn an afternoon away with.

Also see our sneak preview of Dusted Jazz Vol. 2 HERE

MMOTHS brings the trippy

While going through some of the up and coming on Hype Machine, I heard a new song that is getting a lot of heat from Mmoths and really enjoyed it.

I decided to poke around their soundcloud, and ended up finding tons of remixes that are really outstanding.

MMOTHS, puts a glitched out down-tempo feel on these tracks, that just morphs the original into something incredibly new and subtle.

I liked so many I couldn't decided on just one, so I decided to present you guys with three remixes from MMOTHS!

Hope you enjoy!

soothe the sleepy

Oh man oh man.. Thanks to the dngrbeats cast for throwing out so much good material this morning.

I couldn't find much info on Ambassadeur. What I do know is he is out of Brighton and makes some amazing beats.

Ambassadeurs take on Nostalgia 77's "Sleepwalker" has a smooth/lounge feel that is just executed perfectly.

Enjoy!

No, Thank You, Mrs. Jackson!

So I found this waiting for me in my inbox laying there like an African croc waiting to pounce on me at river's edge, the unsuspecting baby Ibex. And pounce it did. This track got me in a vice grip from the intro to the outro. It's a jamming tune and worth multiple listens.

Cry Wolf is a remix meastro and has picked some great tunes to lay his touch upon and this one is his biggest jam. His entire catalogue, small as it may be, is worth ripping through, downloading and jamming anywhere you can find speakers.








  Outkast - Mrs. Jackson (Cry Wolf Remix) by Cry Wolf

rainy day beat

Sometime a song just captures the exact mood you are in.

With a mixture of eerie strings, break-beat drums, and old movie references, Wax Tailor's "Hypnosis Theme" (feat Marina Quaisse) is just the right thing for this dark rainy day here in Austin.

So grab yourself something warm to drink, turn this one up, and enjoy!

Wishes do come true

Ralf, AKA Popeska, is 19 and lives in Atlanta, GA - and he feels that's all you need to know about him so far, which is ok in my book. You can find out everything else about Popeska by diving into his any one of his masterfully produced songs, all of which do a fantastic job of telling us a little something about ole Ralf from Georgia. His latest upload is a duo with 'I wish', followed by his own remix of the same track. Melt away into the void with the original, then brace for impact with the remix, both are a treat for the ears.

Black Keys, re-keyed

I'm a sucker for anything Black Keys and Dank of the South African Gravy Crew (I'm still not entirely sure what that is all about, but I like all the members so I'll go with it) has given me something to vibe on. It's a remix that's not a just layting a beat over the original (which annoys me), but yet it keeps enough of the original vibe to as not to completely bastardize the thing. Then as in the original, the switch-up at the end throws a curveball at your face and lays you low with a completely different feel. It's original and funky and I like it.

He's got some good stuff and a lot of free downloads (we all love that!) so check his page & give him some love.

Afternoon Crunk Time

Wick-it the Instigator dropped this heater off just in time to reverse the afternoon sleepies. I can't help but wonder if he's not only naming the song 'Future Crunk', but also claiming it as a whole new genre. I suppose only time will tell, until then jam it up!

Monday Heat

Got in this morning to find myself a new Das Heat exclusive.

Das Heat throws a great nu-disco synth style on this Gabriel Stark track, blending some heavier hip-hop lyrics with an upbeat groove.

Crank this one up and set your Monday right!

(don't forget your free download!)

Sunday Sweat

As the picture shows, this is some Sunday Sexy for your enjoyment from Sleepyhead a producer out of Brooklyn. This tune combines the bass, lush organ and the sexy vocals to create one helluva laidback and chill track to get down to.

Check out Sleepyhead's noises, though. He runs the gamut from chill downtempo to manic, frantic juke. A versatile artist who excels no matter what the genre.
















  Sweat by Sleepyhead

Sunday Burial

Burial's Archangel is one of my all time favorite tracks. It's just one of those you can play over and over again and never get tired of it. So when I went into the vault and pulled out this remix from Snub-Luck I was equal parts stoked and skeptical. Taking a favorite track and rebaking it to where it sounds good but yet original is hard to do.

Snub does the trick though. The wonky cowbell can't disguise the original track's lushness that lies underneath and when you're finished with the listen, I dare you to not listen again. It's that good and Snub was good enough to give it out for free.

So do us all a favor and check out Snub-Luck's page and patronize his great stable of tracks. He has many more recent ones that are wonderful.

Saturday Causality

This track is from a collective(?) or artist(?) called Unsub. Unsub describes itself in a very obtuse way that seems like they're a collective of artists who just put out random and anonymous jams.

This one in particular is a deceptive banger that starts you out with one sound and ends up with another. It's a great trip down the Unsub road, though, and I'm glad I've found it...even though I really don't know who/what Unsub is...

Friday afternoon Crunk

Yeah Friday afternoon is here and we're ready to flip tables, throw TPS Reports in the air and bolt.

This track is the perfect one to start the weekend off right. Huge fan of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. so I'm thrilled to get this posted and to your earholes.

Enjoy and do yourself a favor and check his other tracks. So much boomin greatness.

Lapalux's Friday Glitter

Lapalux throws down on this Friday some nice mellow tuneage. Its syrupy without being kitsch, and it has a harder edge underlying that makes you hate when the fading outro occurs.

Lapalux, hailing from the UK, has an album coming out in few weeks and this track is from that. The EP is off of brainfeed records and can be purchased HERE.

Whether you buy the album or not, you do have to check out Lapalux's other stuff. It's quite delectable.

Widowmaker's got you

This tune belongs in the dark. It belongs in a cold dark alley with flickering lightbulbs and rustling chainlink fences. This track is some really good mid-tempo dubstep that makes it clear you're not getting out of this one alive. Tuck yourself in tonight because Widowmaker is after you.

But if you do make it through the night, check out Widowmaker's page for some good freebies and mixes.

What a day for MUSIC!

A giant floodgate of awesome has been opened today.

On top of all the new good out today, Adventure Club has dropped "Do I See Color" which is, for lack of better words, amazing.

Super upbeat, glitchy, and chock full of synth driven dub leads, this one is sure to get you groovin.

Turn it up, blast it, love it.
