Released today: Sticky & Sandy - Voodoo EP

Second ep from production team Sandy Loops and Sticky Stockholm dropped today, do not miss out!

Buy it on iTunes.

Selected dj-feedback and support:

Jack Posada:
"Wicked track guys...I dont fee alone anymore as Im finishing a similar kind of track! Keep m' coming!"

Leg-No:
"Hey Sticky! Hey Sandy! .. love it!"

Mojek:
"Funky tunes you guys, Voodoo is super scary but cool!"

Orphans STHLM:
"Sjukt fett! Två riktigt bra och kontrasterande låtar!"

Le Baron De France:
"Hey! is really nice!!!"

About:

DJ duo and production team Sticky & Sandy (Sticky Stockholm and Sandy Loops) are back with their second ep!

Two tracks that differ in style, but keeps a red line through their shared vision of what house music is all about: dance floor friendly, creative and loads of fun.

A-side Voodoo blends a deep, massive production and a restless bassline with one obscure sample, cut up, flipped and reversed over the track. If New Orleans was a house song, this is what it would sound like.

Second track Hey is playful, resting on a nostalgic sax-sample, a varying multilayered beat and two voice samples speaking to each other.

Check it!

Together - "Together (Les Loups' In Colour Rework)"

Usually I like remixes and re-edits that sound totally diffrent from the originals. But seeing as Roulé's catalog has yet to make it into digital form (yeah, I know that there are vinyl rips out there, but unfortunately the quality is extremly varied) this bootleg rework/re-polish is godsent. And a great use of a sample from an underrated movie.

Basement Jaxx vs. Metropole Orkest

This is just outright bizarre.

Remember back in -99 when Metallica seemed to be loosing ground with their core fan base (this was before the whole Napster ordeal and James Hetfield going to rehab, mind you. So the shit hadn't really hit the proverbial fan yet)? Where could they possibly go, both artistically and commercially, to reconquer the world and wash away the crappy aftertaste of their last three studio albums? Why, making new live versions of all the classics BUUUUUUUUTT... with a symphonic orchestra.

So basically, it was "baaaaatteerrriijjjahhhhh". But with strings.

And in a way that seems like a logical next step for a rock band. But for a dance music act? Call me sceptical. And Basement Jaxx teaming up with a symphonic orchestra won’t convince me. It didn’t in February when they had the actual concert, and it doesn’t now when the album of aforementioned concert is being released. As much as it might sound like a quirky experiment, it just kills the tunes for me in a way similar too when video game soundtracks get a symphonic make over.

Or even worse; when rock songs are pimped out techno style. Now that is some horrendous shit, right there.

But just for shits and giggles, here you go. An orchestral rendition of "Red Alert":

Modek - "Une Belle Surprise"

Haven't heard about Modek before, but from what I have learned in the 15 minutes since I stumbled upon this track he's releasing a new EP on Bronson Records in September. While the EP sounds like something from the BNR-camp, this one right here samples... march music. Can't for the life of me figure out why this one isn't on the EP. But free downloads are always a nice gesture.

Marble Players - "Let you Go" Video

I don't think anyone in the 12-3 Sounds posse would disagree with me when I say that Marble is one of the best labels out there right now. And to prove it, they've just released a video for Marble Players "Let You Go". Directed by Lol Boys in what looks like Second Life it's brings you that nostalgic feeling of early computer generated music videos, waaay before polygons became the video game industry's new BFF.

Oh, and the track is incredibly bouncy too, which helps.

Released today: Orphans STHLM - Eavil EP

It's a celebration! The long anticipated second ep from Orphans STHLM is released today - Three banging tracks to pick up!

Buy it on iTunes!

Selected dj-feedback and support:

Dakunt (Get Flavor):
"Nice release, i'm on the pleasure machine."

Neitee & Yeutta:
"Always support!"

Max Le Daron:
"Great release!! Love it!"

Emmerson:
"Great as always!!!"

Sandy Loops:
"Shit vad bra! Heeeeelt galet bra!"

About:

So here it is, and available in a digital music store of your choice (well, not really, but a couple at least). Orphans STHLM are proud to present Eavil EP - three major bangers suited up in different style.

It starts of rather old school with the title track, driven forward by ultra-nerdy samples that pay homage to obscure horror movies from the 80's and a heavy set of toms.

Followed by Pleasure Machine, a comfy yet brisk creation. It's percs and odd voice samples in a peculiar mix. And yeah, it's also a celebration of obscure 80's movies.

Beezus is... well... it's Eavil's and Pleasure Machine's noisy and boisterous (but in it's own way charming) cousin.

LBCK - "Instant Party (The Phantom's Revenge Remix)"

Whereas the original really doesn't do it for me, France's own The Phantom's Revenge remix of it certainlly does. Exit; generic fizzyling and distorted electro house. Enter; a massive wall of electric pianos (they just scream "haaauuuusss", don't they?) and a killer beat.

Harry Manfredini - "Theme from Friday the 13th part III"

It's summer. Which means summer camps. Which in turn leads me to think about psychos in hockey masks disembowelling skinny dipping cheerleaders and decapitating their jock boyfriends.

Everybody’s like "Yeah I just love anything John Williams does! Or that tune from The Rock. You know, the one that goes "dadadadadaaadaaa dadadadadaaadaaa".

And I'm like "Take these two rusty nails. Hold one in each hand, between the index finger and thumb in front of your eyes. The slam your head into table. Repeat if not dead".
