More Tigers From Lazydisco

D.I.S.C.O. Texas has been gmailing us like crazy over the last few months regarding the release from Fred Oliveira, of Rockets fame. He's recently been charted by the likes of Duck Sauce (A-Trak + Van Helden), Patrick Alavi (of Work it Baby / Roxour) and a bunch of other big names in the scene. At first the label mentioned a new Xinobi release with a subsequent Lazydisco remix which was some time ago but now we are set to hear the new EP from Ladydisco called 'More Tigers'. Still the EP has no official release but one has to assume it very soon hence the promos.

'More Tigers' is exactly what you'd expect from a project called Lazydisco. Its mid tempo summery house with all the Disco one has come to expect from the Portuguese imprint. Notwithstanding, if you love the work under the moniker Rockets then you eat this up..

Lazydisco - More Tiger (original mix) 121 bpm

What Is Past Is Prologue

This whole mix began a fortnight ago when I was illin on this small bloke cold wreckin the Bass Invaders monthly at The Zoo. He was playing some of the most ridiculous dubstep I have ever heard this side of the pond. He looked vaguely familiar and I soon realized that it was someone that I knew from 90's underground life. Lil Chris was how he identified himself back then when he was dropping washed out DNB rollers and not much has changed except for the name..

He has traded in his drum and bass kicks in for some dubstep digs under the guise of one Billy Rockwell. Some of the tracks on the mix below approach with caustic substances while others are silky, uncut r+b magic that has stumbled into a post apocalyptic wasteland of hip hop 808's smothered in 2 step tech oil.

Coupons

Sydney's Brent and Stu are the fresh new melodic synth pop duo Coupons. Their synthetic journey through sound all started when they formed a parasitic life bond over a mutual respect of creatures of the deep. When there not recounting tales of treacherous endeavors under the deep blue, the duo can be found recording an album featuring Australia's most intense vocalists, and gallivanting round yonder countryside DJing to the over-privileged and hedonistic.

Be sure to check out Coupons exclusive mix and remixes. If you like what you hear, give them some love and join their facebook page, where you'll find more details on upcoming releases and events. Oh and be sure to keep your monocle peeled for the release of their new single, "Driving to your House Party" to be released soon on DISCOTEXAS. . .

Boy 8-Bit - Turbo Edition 'Yardbird'

When we heard that Boy 8-Bit was set to produce for Tiga's imprint Turbo recordings we were pretty damned excited and knew it was going to be special. With the freedom and creative environment that the label provides it was a match made in heaven. It empowers the artist to expand upon his thesis of IDM and funkiness together. Be sure to check out Boy 8-Bit as he get his rightful turn at the Suck My Decks dj series.
