I’ve been listening to Christian Smith on and off for the last year or so. The man really knows how to lay down those fat techno beats, though sometimes they’re a little bit too funky for my taste. “Indecent Exposure” came out last month on techno label Tronic and I’ve really grown to enjoy the groove behind this release. Very subtle changes in the lead synth and a breakdown that makes you want to throw your hands in the air are what make this release. There are two versions included, the original mix and the deep bass mix which has a little bit extra disco in the bassline. I recommend listening to this in the car, its perfect for driving.

I hope everyone got what they wanted from Santa Clause this year! And now that Christmas is behind us we can look forward to celebrating the new year. Speaking of Christmas, Ive got some late gifts for everyone today. Dilemn has released a new remix of “Insanely” by Gooseflesh. In typical Dilemn fashion, this track is a monster. As a bonus, Ive got two of Dilemn’s older breakbeat tracks that I think you will enjoy. There isnt much else to say, Ill let the music do the rest of the talking!

Another new mix coming at you this week! This is a mix from John Blaze that was made earlier in 2009. We have been digging out all of our retro stuff for you all the enjoy. That’s one of the best parts of electronic music, most of it is timeless. I dont have a tracklist for you yet, but when we find it I will be sure to update this post with the full list. Enjoy!

I’ve seen Crookers in concert twice and every time they absolutely destroy the venue. Their sound is in a category of its own. A mix of electro, hard house, hip-hop, rock, metal and everything in between. And they always keep the energy up. A lot of DJs like to play out entire tracks and that’s great too but the Crookers are constantly mixing it up (no pun intended) dropping different cuts and samples. I highly recommend checking them out if they are playing near you. Hell, even if they arent, make the trip to see them. It will be totally worth it.

Today I’ve got an episode of the Radio 538: Dance Department podcast from November 18th. The first half is the Dance Department radio show hosted by Dennis Ruyer, and its pretty decent. There are some good tunes in the first half that Dennis plays. But the real business is the second half, a mix set by the Crookers themselves. And if you’ve never listened to Crookers before, this should give you an idea of what they’re all about. Enjoy.

It’s no afterschool special, the sounds contained within may shock and disturb you and are of a graphic nature. Listener discretion is advised.  I think thats all that needs to be said.
