Jean Elan

I had never heard of Jean Elan before Klaas remixed 'Where's Your Head At?'. 
Jean Elan - Where's Your Head At (Klaas Remix)

The song is undeniably fist-pump material, and received huge airplay. After a bit of research (the man has no wikipedia page!), I found out that Jean Elan is actually a German residing in Berlin. Check out his biography on Facebook here. Jean Elan has been getting bigger and bigger. This year, Ministry of Sound's 'Clubbers' Guide 2010' was remixed by him and he was nominated for a Grammy for Best Remixer for this track:
Röyksopp feat Robyn - The Girl And The Robot (Jean Elan Remix)

He eventually lost out to David Guetta, but said this about it: "just the respect to be nominated with these other great international competitors, proves that I am on the right track with my ideas”. And he certainly is. Most recently he has mixed and compiled the Sensation - Celebrate Life (Germany 2011) 2CD Compilation which you can pre-order off iTunes. Anyways, enough with the chit-chat. Music is here:
Jean Elan - Killer (Jean Elan Mix)

Dabruck and Klein feat. Jean Elan - I've Got My Pride (Hold My Head High) (Original Mix)

Morgan Page Feat. Jan Burton - Ive Had Friends (Jean Elan Extended Remix)

And because Morgan Page is simply awesome, here's a track from a while ago that is pure class: Morgan Page - The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)

Check out his remix of Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso's Partouze in the last post, and here is Jean Elan's December 2010 60 minute set which you can download:

Throwback Thursday: Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso

Some people just cannot stop producing pure gold. And even if its not recent, it still deserves recognition. I feel that so many blogs are always rushing to put out tracks as soon as they hit the scene, and because there is so much music being thrown at us these days, sometimes we forget tracks that were really great and maybe only a couple of years old. This is a prime example. Steve Angello and Ingrosso produced this one two years ago, and it garnered huge acclaim as they played it live in all their SHM sets. Something about violins just never fails to hit the spot. Here's to many more throwback Thursdays.

Midweek Round-Up #1

Midweek is such a challenging time. Its when you should be focusing on studying, but with the weekend being dangled in front of you like a carrot on a stick its so difficult to concentrate. Especially when its the last week of term and you don't have finals. Oh well. If I won't study, might as well blog. 
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)

Some pop songs are so catchy they actually seem good. This might be one of them. But I'll take the remix thank you very much: Taio Cruz - Dynamite (Nicky Romero Bootleg)

Tim Berg, Norman Doray & Sebastien Drums - Tweet It (Original Mix)

David Guetta ft. Rihanna - Who's That Chick (Afrojack Dub)

Bad Boy Bill feat. Eric Jag - Got That Feeling (Laidback Luke Remix)

Daft Punk feat. N.E.R.D – Hypnotize U (Dirty South Remix)



Enjoy!

Wolfgang Gartner Does it Again

Wolfgang Gartner is fast establishing himself as the best of house across the pond. The man just won't stop rocking the beat. I think its awesome considering he only hit the scene as Wolfgang Gartner a couple of years ago. Before that he was producing Deep House music under his real name, Joey Youngman. Here's an example of the kind of stuff he was making:
Joey Youngman - My First Love 

You can't say its too bad, but obviously it can't compare to any of the massive sounds he's producing today. If you haven't already, check out the post about his Essential Mix from last week. And now, *drumroll please* his two latest tracks:
Wolfgang Gartner - Space Junk

Wolfgang Gartner - Illmerica

BONUS: Justice vs. Wolfgang Gartner - Illmerica Are Your Friends (Steve Camp Mashup)



Enjoy!

Dave Spoon

Dave Spoon is going to be playing at MoS London on New Years Eve which is good news for all you fans out there. Dave Spoon's music has got that bubbly party feel to it, and he's got a thing for playing classics. One of the DJs in the UKs 'In New DJs we Trust' movement, be sure to keep tags on this guy. He just set up his label, Televizion, and be prepared for some big tunes from him soon. If you want to read his most recent interview click here.

Afrojack

Mr Bass himself is featured again with some BIG tracks. Afrojack has built a name for himself for using huge beats and creating real fist-pump tracks, but I dont know why but something about his style seems to lack the finishing touch that would make him an amazing producer. What do you think? Anyway check these out:
His latest banger: Replica:

The Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) (Afrojack Remix)

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek (Afrojack Remix)

And one from a while ago: Laidback Luke - Generation Noise (Afrojack Remix)

PEaace!

Small Post; Big Sounds

Falling asleep as I'm writing this but these two tracks are MASSIVE. Enjoy.
Chew Lips - Slick (Neo Tokyo Remix)

Evil Nine - Ultimo (Dem Slackers Remix)
