On the real hot front of dance music, our friends Downtown (New Judas) and Jaxxon now know as RENAISSANCE MAN from Helsinki are really above to take over the “midget” part of it.”Being born white, male and scandinavian prepares you for a bleak future”. House music saved their life! But this isn’t any kind of boring house, it’s definitiv really fresh and exciting. It’s “dance” oriented but never to obvious and even if it’s minimal there isn’t this mental druggy part of the music. Their selection always remain very playfull and the bass play the physical motor. For the record Dave Taylor aka Switch just signed them on Dubsided and expect some realese for 2009! Listen to this very good mix from RENAISSANCE MAN, pay them a virtual visit and enjoy their very own production Spraycan which is a motherfucking HIT! YEAH MAN!

We Are Renaissance Man // December 2008 – (Track list in Comment)

Related to them, Les Gillettes just send me today the final mix of her new production. It’s called Pompeiii and it’s a dancefloor killer! It was around for some time, but it was only a DEMO. Re-composed and re-arranged by the only three sword girl, now you got proper massiv synth hits and off-beat crunchy hihats for your pleasure!

Les Gillettes – Pompeiii

LES GILLETTES and DOWNTOWN will perform in Berlin on Saturday December 27th, alongside FAKE BLOOD, BOY 8-BIT and JACKBEATS for the DRY GUILLOTINE serie at Maria! More details HERE
