BALANCE 016: AGORIA Release
Electro House Music

U.S. Release Date: March 16, 2010

After raising the bar to unprecedented heights in 2009 with Joris Voorn and Will Saul’s stunning additions to the series, EQ Recordings’ Balance series returns for the new decade with yet another standard-setting mix from one of the most sophisticated and inspiring names in techno, frenchman – Agoria.

The man otherwise known as Sebastien Devaud wasn’t bitten by the dance music bug until he was out of his teens, but once he began hunting imported 12”s from the US and Germany in his native France, there was no turning back. His production career began in 1999, with his debut album Blossom and first compilation following in 2003 – and it was clear even in those early days that a serious new talent was emerging. Blending the throb and groove of deeper, stripped-back techno with a keen sense of musicality, emotion and atmosphere, his is a sound that transcends beyond mere dancefloor disposability.

satoshi tomiie mes back to basics

Satoshi Tomiie returns with MES – Back To Basics
Electro House Music

As heard in recent DJ sets from the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Ellen Allien, Laurent Garnier, Paolo Mojo, Radio Slave, Seth Troxler, Slam and many more.

Satoshi Tomiie plays an integral part in one of dance music’s biggest legacies. A top DJ, producer and owner of Saw Recordings, Tomiie is also a member (along with David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Hector Romero and GM, Judy Weinstein) of the legendary Def Mix crew. Those in the know can attest to the fact that dance music would simply not be the same without their influence; and through all the ups and downs of the industry, this team always pushes back stronger. The New York City-by-way-of-Tokyo based Tomiie feels particularly inspired these days and drops a techno monster with the release (under the guise of MES) of “Back To Basics.” On the flip, Motorcitysoul adds some Detroit flavor to the mix

“Back To Basics” is about digging deep and searching for the one feeling or moment that inspired your love of music. Do you remember the smile you had on your face when you heard something fresh and new for the first time? Remove all the inhibitions and let loose the way you used to. For Satoshi Tomiie, “Back To Basics” is not about revisiting the past just to create something retro or ironic, but rather, he’s referencing key moments of his musical life to create for the future. No rules, no limits. See it. Hear it. Feel it.

electro house mix dj dinsy freak me

Electro House Mix – Freak Me F**ing Good by DJ Dinsy
Electro House Music

We welcome a new superstar electro house music DJ to TheFreshpage – a bad ass by the name of DJ Dinsy! This guy is going to freak you good with this stellar mix Freak Me F**ing Good. It’s just too good to not perk up and pay attention.

Let’s “Get Nasty” with the premiere track’s chunky electro beats with no delay to the “U Freak Me” edit by Dinsy himself. And prepare yourself for some heavy bass in Orlando Voorn’s Deamau5 remix of Paco Di Bangos World. There is no “Monkey Business” here as DJ Dan is back in the scene with this stellar track shaking things up and making way to Timbaland vs Nirvana “Smells Like Morning After Dark”.

We have to say this is what we like most about DJ Dinsy, he has no fear of getting too dirty, or too dark and then turning night into day like his back to back tracks of The Prodigy “Invaders Must Die” and Kristine W’s “The Power of Music”. And this is how the the conclusion of this set leaves to your senses – a feeling that light shining through all the peaks and valleys of the melodies in this set. We can’t wait to hear more!

Listen now – Freak Me F**ing Good by DJ Dinsy

Electro House Mix – The Freshcast 2010
Electro House Music

Right from the beginning of this mix Chris Wren grabs you in only ways music can invigorate your senses. As you shake your head and try and understand what is happening to you, the track “Poptimistic” makes your muscles convulse with pure determination leading away to “Sometimes I Feel” where the hair on the back of your head stands up straight and flows with the music.

But before you drift away in some state of trance a funky beat “I’m The Sh*t” wakes you out of your stupor only long enough to lead you to “Go” somewhere you haven’t gone before.

Pure love is all you will feel through the remainder of this set with “I Like It”, “Naked” & “Come Get My Lovin” the progression is pure and all you will see is “Fireworks” in the end! Chris Wren’s TheFreshcast 2010 is here.

house music king britt intricate beauty

KING BRITT to release new original artist album Intricate Beauty on Nervous Records
House Music

RELEASE Date: April 20, 2010

We’ll cut to the chase. Intricate Beauty is the final “conventional” dance album King Britt will ever make. And how fitting this final chapter also marks King’s first ever release on seminal house music label Nervous Records. This is the seal of quality. Don’t worry, though, King Britt’s not going anywhere as an artist. He’ll be concentrating on more experimental based music and searching for new avenues to help push the live electronic improvisational end of performance. But for now, you have a real treat to behold with the Intricate Beauty. Eleven tracks of soulful rhythms constructed and mixed together like a grand jigsaw puzzle. Quintessential King.

Listen to King Britt’s “Now” (feat. Astrid Suryanto):

Intricate Beauty pulls together the different sounds that have helped shape King’s dance DJ mind over the years. This is the story of what he loves to spin and how it all relates. In a sense, this is all the greatness of King Britt wrapped up under one disc. Like a physical incarnation of the intricate mind, the process of how this album was constructed is quite advanced. King based the album on tiny microsounds he procured from various random recordings and CDs. He then took all these tiny pieces and dumped them into Ableton Live where he sewed the puzzle pieces together. Once there were approximately 50 workable combinations of tracks he then constructed the songs musically. “In a few months I intend to release all the bits and pieces from Intricate Beauty as a “Live Pack.” These will be sounds that people can use for inspiration and production,” King says

Electro House Music M-Erson Moving It Mix

Movin’ It Mix by M-Erson
Electro House Music

M-Erson re-ignites your auditory senses with his latest “Movin It Mix” featuring some of the best in underground electro house beats. Starting with Crooker’s “No Security” the music progresses from 0 to 60 like a Mclaren revving its engine through a race track. Beats get dirty with the Outhere Brothers’ “Enjoy” & Mustard Pimp’s “Cherry”.

But we like it this set because it only gets harder and takes corners with fast speeds not allowing you to guess what’s next but simply enjoying the ride. Half way through Foamo’s “Movin It” highlights the title of the mix with synths that would make a old school raver squeal out loud! And if you thought that was it you ain’t heard nothing yet, The Steve Aoki remix of “Forever” and Sebastian Leger track “The Rhythm” takes you for a pretty wild spin.

We like the final part of “Movin It Mix” because M-Erson smooths out all the bumps and ends with some pretty sick tracks. This is the way it should be done….all bow down to M-Erson….

Progressive House Music

After many speculations the word is out, the new single by Rank 1 and Jochen Miller entitled, ‘The Great Escape’, is the official theme song for this year’s edition of enTrance, to be held on March 6 at the Łuczniczka Arena in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

It’s a winning combination; enTrance as Poland’s leading trance event teaming up with two very successful artists. While Rank 1’s songs have been selected many times as theme songs, it’s a first timer for Jochen Miller to deliver a theme for a large scale event such as EnTrance. It’s also the first time Rank 1 and Jochen Miller team up to deliver a theme song together.
