Dam Funk live w/ Top Billin at Kuudes Linja. Keep the date in mind.

TOP BILLIN @ Club Colors, Sweden from Top Billin on Vimeo.

Had to say that last night at Club Colors in Gothenburg was one of the funnest gigs in a long time. Colors is dope, boogie, disco, rap & good club music rules the night (we did drop some dubstep hits in the last half an hour tho). Mayer Hawthorne also delivered a solid live performance on the night and is a lovable guy just like his music. Looking forward to the next gig there with our man DJ Dainja (shouts also to Gothenburg homies Supreme & Embee of Looptroop Rockers fame). Posting here a golden tune from yesterday, I’m wondering why I haven’t shared this earlier.

MP3 N.V. – It’s Alright (extended version) (320K) (Mediafire)

From Prince:

Prince has said he thinks the era of the internet is already over.
In an interview with The Daily Mirror, the singer said his stance on technology is the main reason why his new album ‘20Ten’ will not be available for download online.
“The internet’s completely over,” he explained. “I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it, and then they get angry when they can’t get it.”
Prince is giving ‘20Ten’ away with the Daily Mirror and Daily Record, in a similar move to that of his 2007 album ‘Planet Earth’.
Speaking about why he shuns technology, he added: “The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers, and that can’t be good for you.” (via NME)

Dope as those jeans micro shorts all girls wear this summer.

Do you know DJ Morsy? If you dj I’m pretty sure you have his edits, many of them are essential and truly crafted for the dj mind, so he’s a familiar character to many. Here’s a recent remix of a feel-good pop song (goes well with B.O.B.’s ‘Nothing On You’ yo dj….) from him and you can expect an ep from Morsy & Krames dropping soon on the label… Club beats meet dutch house styles with big basses.

Chauffeur – Streets EP by TOP BILLIN

Ready for some bangers? We got you.

Enter Chauffeur aka Thom Theroux from Calgary, Canada. Thom is our man who can make crazy party tunes that will twist your ears, and at the same time have that pop sensibility we love in dance music. This is Chauffeurs debut ep so listen closely.
This 5-track ep, with tracks that range from twisted disco to speaker bruising rave to bass heavy pop, is definitely a rare piece of work for a first release. Fresh in a way when people started to talk about this genre called ‘electro bangers’ (whatever that means). Dark and grimey like the alleys of major cities, the unexpected lurking around the corner.

There’s practically no night here now that the day is longest, difficult to go to bed when it’s light everywhere. Parties during summer are also funny, it’s light when you both enter and exit the club.

Yves Rockers Crew – Up To No Good EP by TOP BILLIN

Introducing: Yves Rockers Crew. Well, sort of introducing as Yves Rockers is disco project of our friend and a long-time Top Billin associate DJ Pataässä, who’s made some nice party breaks (Sweat Gunz anyone) and remixes with us in the past. His new project is a dope indie-discoish thing with a rock feel and nice vocals. He’s also a man with great sense on humour, so this no straight-laced project either, so expect more fun disco with that pop sensibility.

Remixes on this ep come from bass-masters Malente & Jay Robinson, Belgium’s wonderboy Highbloo and Top Billin newest signing, the young Emperatrons. A dub version of the original is also included for you who don’t dig vocal stuff.

Grab this ep and show support to Yves Rockers!

This just in as the man himself will arrive later today to do a three gig weekender with DJ Anonymous. Grab the mix here. See you in Siltanen
tonight.

I’ve done pretty much nothing else today but watch football. But you’ll enjoy the hell out of this on Monday, it’s one of those jams where you actually love the electric guitar part. Btw, check new release going live soon….

Koobra – Thrills EP by TOP BILLIN

Time for another release in our ‘Nightrunners’ -series and it’s one monster house ep! Koobra is the other half of Helsinki 78-82 and a long-time Top Billin associate and he also brings us ‘that big city house’ -feel with his solo. This whole release came as a (pleasant) suprise to us, we were not aware that he would have time to finish all the tunes just before summer holidays, but there we have it.

‘Thrills’ is a smooth French styled house groover while ‘It’s You’ is a total vocal hit with some pumping production, and ‘Question’ is a more italo filled affair… 3 tracks on this release, all great, all needed for your summers dj sets.

CHECK IT AT THESE SHOPS AND PLS SHOW SUPPORT (all hail) TO KOOBRA.

You’re a couple from Holland making italo disco and you name yourself Moses? Right on, Ben Liebrand go.
Maybe this is a good opportunity to mention a certain 1983 Dutch new wave classic being re-released (with some remixes too) on Top Billin during summer. Definitely a project we’ve been waiting to get finalised and now we’re almost there…. fingers crossed, it’s so dope. More info on this soon. But in the meantime: MOSES
