Fresh Drops Vol. 4 - Kris Jones Extended 2 Hour Mix

This month for Fresh Drops we ended up not having in a guest, but Kris dropped an extended 2 hour mix.  The vibes on this range from Nu Disco to Deep and Future House and some Garage influence for good measure.  A few of these are out as free downloads, a couple are forthcoming on some great labels, as well as some already released heat.  Make sure to check the tracklisting below. This is a summer vibe mix throughout, we hope you enjoy. 

And in case you haven't seen this feature before, we have a monthly show that we stream live on Underground Sound Canada's Mixlr channel.  We are just one week, but there are new mixes every Sunday night.

Kartell - Attracted [Roche Musique]

If you're feeling the new Disclosure single from this week, you'll likely be down with Kartell's newest offering - Attracted. A bit more laid back house and garage jam, the percussion and synths work off of each other really nicely to keep the track moving along, and the vocals are smooth throughout.

The lyrical content is relatable, documenting the feeling of mutual attraction that just hasn't yet moved into something tangible.  The vibe on this matches well with that concept and feeling, with the buildups never really dropping into anything too heavy, but still thoroughly enjoyable. To me, this would be a perfect track to throw into a set where you want to start building up without losing energy.  

Attracted is available on its own as a single, or as part of Kartell's newest release Tender Games, available for pre-order on iTunes here.

Kartell - Genie In A Bottle

This is a throwback for Thursday in more ways than one... First of all, Kartell uploaded this about 10 months ago, but it is also a rework of Christina Aguilera's Genie In A Bottle.  And damn, this is a hell of a rework. Kartell brings the upbeat house and garage flavour here, with really tight production and attention to detail.  Things never get too busy, and there are well placed spaces in the sound throughout.

Uploaded by HW&W recordings, we've still been unable to track down a download, whether released as a free or paid download. If anyone has a line on this one, we'd appreciate a link, as this is too good to let go of without adding to our music library.
