Starting off today with a track off of Basement Jaxx’s second EP from way back in ’95. It has a lot of the things that make us love Basement Jaxx including lots of harmonies, strings, and a jazzy housey feel.
-
Next, we have a synthy and sexy track by Lil Louis. If you like tracks by artists like Alan Braxe and Fred Falke, then definitely check this out. This is more or less the precursor to that sound in House format.
Lil’ Louis & The World – French Kiss

Finally, I’d like to announce on here my next single is called SLUG. Its a gnarly techno track coming out on a new music project called Broken Synth. Go to their website to preview the upcoming track and learn more.
Until next time!
Yo Boppers.

With today’s post we’re going back in the mid 90s. The first track is by Inner Tube and is considered a classic. Packed to the brim with aggressive House shuffle drums and a pulsing bassline which goes in tandem with a smooth synth. Great to check out. Lots of cool little sounds in it.
Inner Tube – Pump Me Up! (Mumblin’ Jim Mix)
-
Next we have some classic French sounds from none other than Etienne De Crecy and Philippe Zdar aka Motorbass. I chose this track because it has some really cool drums. It also has the typical Motorbass sound, which is jazzy subdued soundscapes. Good jam.

See you next time!
Hello Boppers!
A new week, a couple new beats. (well, not so new)

Our first track is by Chicago based House producer, Paul Johnson. This is a nice fun tune with a nice famous sample. Paul Johnson shows us that its not always about tricks, sometimes a simple beat can carry you a long way.
Paul Johnson - I'm Alone Until You Show Me-
Finally, we have a monster French House classic by Alan Braxe. This record is Braxe’s very first record released in 1997 on Thomas Bangalter’s critically acclaimed Roulé Records label. It’s also worth noting this is the 3rd record to be released on his label.
Alan Braxe - Vertigo-
Till next time!
Hey Boppers!
I’ve got some more goodies for you. Took me some time to pick out which tracks this week, but turned up with some more gems.

Our first track is by French House master, Sebastien Leger. Its a hard funky house track featuring Bopper favorite, Junior Sanchez. The intense groove on this track is sure to get people moving. Also worth noting, Leger is known to produce with all hardware… so real samplers, real drum machines, etc.
Sébastien Léger - No Problem (Ft Junior Sanchez)

It may come as a surprise to many Americans, but David Guetta actually made music before 2009. All jokes aside, this here is a remix of an old David Guetta single from 2004 as remixed by Le Knight Club (I don’t think I need to reintroduce them again). I really loved this track when I first heard it. It features very nice production, although minimalist in design, and a very dramatic vibe.
David Guetta - Stay (Le Knight Club Mix)-
Catch you next time Boppers.

To start this week off, I’ll congratulate bopperette Melissa B’s stunning artwork for a Keith Haring tribute she participated in called “Stick On Haring!” Her art is on display along with other talented artists at Festival LiberArti in Montaione, Italy. You can see it below.
Now on to the music… The first track here is an extended mix by the label/production team A Touch of Class. Its a mix of the song Superstar by their star talent, The Ones. Nice long mix with a grooving baseline the whole time. Classic dance music vocoder and lots of little things going on here.
The Ones - Superstar (A Touch of Class Extended Mix)
-
Next up, we have a tech banger by French masterminds Etienne De Crécy and Alex Gopher. This track came off the fantastic Super Discount 2 album, which featured several tracks by Etienne De Crécy with collaborations by artists such as DJ Mehdi, Boombass (of Cassius) and more. This is a personal favorite of mine and very much worth checking out, as is the first (and drastically different) Super Discount.
Etienne De Crécy - Overnet (ft Alex Gopher)-
Finally, to wrap things up I’d like to show you a remix I made for (another) contest, this time for MIA/Hard LA. You can check out my remix HERE.
Thats all folks!

Hey Boppers.
Another bass packed Monday here… check out these 2 fine House cuts.

Our first track is by Bob Sinclar. A very simple House beat over a spoken vocal mixed in with some disco samples. This track comes off the same album that featured the Thomas Bangalter produced, Gym Tonic.
Bob Sinclar - Vision Of Paradise-
Finally, we have a euro disco classic remade into modern day euro disco.. aka Electro House. Big baselinin’ going on in this track. David Guetta and Joachim Garraud apply their production mastery very well and tastefully to this mega track. Cerrone’s original is considered a classic among disco fanatics, and its worth mentioning he was on par with Giorgio Moroder, but indeed had far less mainstream success.
Cerrone - Supernature (David Guetta & Joachim Garraud Remix)-
Also, don’t forget to vote for my remix of Yeasayer which I entered into a contest @ MadDecent.com. You can vote for it each day if you like..
