AFROJACK & STEVE AOKI – NO BEEF (RIP)

Kid Aloha — Sat, 15 May 2010 19:07:04 +0000

For anyone that wants to be completely up to date on the going on’s in the DJ world, I strongly suggest that you guys get on twitter immediately. Through some twitter detective work, I’ve been able to get the scoop on a number of collabs, releases and tracks, simply by stalking the convos between various twitter profiles. Afrojack and Aoki were locked down in the studio a few times this year, and we finally get a preview of their work together.

I was an early champion of the Dutch House movement, but I’m going to go on record as saying I’m pretty tired of the sound. At the time, it injected Electro with some much needed diversity and helped to merge the big room house and Electro scenes a bit (see: Hey!, Pon De Floor, Stickin’ etc.). But at least for me, its run its course. That being said, Afrojack and others are still putting out a ton of tracks which are exciting, this collab definitely being one of them.

The above are just my own opinions, and feel free to agree/disagree in the comment section. Dutch House was a big part of my sound over the past year, and makes up the soundtrack to my 2009. To anyone who’s still rocking with the sound, no disrespect, I’m just on to the next one.

We’re hosting a party tomorrow at the legendary Sextape Fridays, featuring Malente (Fools Gold) and Nujax. Here’s the facebook event, anyone in town tomorrow should make sure to swing by. This is one of the biggest weekly’s in town so lineups are always crazy, show up early.

I just got sent over an exclusive remix from Nujax, of Afrojack’s Bangduck. These guys are hard at work finishing up their EP, which will feature remixes from Panton and Dooze Jackers. They have been killing it on the Montreal scene for a while and its good to see them start to blow up.

BORIS DLUGOSCH – BANGKOK

Until about 2 weeks ago I had never heard of Boris Dlugosch. This appears to be the case with the rest of the world as he seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Last week he released ‘Bangkok’ on Erol Alkan’s label Phantasy Sounds. Hype surrounding the track has grown to astronomical levels after it started being played at festivals in late summer. First I heard it was a new Afrojack track, then that it was the new Crookers track, etc, etc, etc. Alkan has been the biggest supporter of the track thus far and Busy P just dropped it in his Essential Mix. This is definitely going to contend for track of the year. Sadly, since it’s an official release, I can only up the track at 128 kbps, but if you like what you hear, buy it over at Beatport.
