Exclusive Mix- Coach Roebuck

Coach Roebuck from New Jersey has provided the first exclusive mix for Ilhouze.com.  He is an established producer and DJ with over 70 tracks, remixes, and remixed tracks out on Beatport.  He features a hard disco style that gets the crowd moving, but can also bring it back down with some soulful and old school sounds. His bio is as follows:

It has been said that “Disco is back, and being done properly…” The fact is that Disco never died, it just went underground. Now there is a revival. Coach Roebuck takes credit for helping bringing Disco back into the light, in the form of house music.

Originally from the hills of West Virginia, the Coach was exposed to a wide variety of Disco, Funk, Pop, Rock and Mo-Town. His horizons began to broadened during college, in the form of attending warehouse parties, but only as a participant. A window of opportunity inspired Coach Roebuck to turn from building music software to producing music seriously in June 2004. As a means to help expose his music, the Coach became a DJ. Soon the Coach started to travel throughout the East Coast shamelessly promoting himself with inspiration. As word got out regionally, he started working parties both domestically and abroad, playing in warehouse parties, nightclubs, and music festivals, from Miami to Chicago, while building a small but very loyal following locally. Music lovers have been unable to resist boogying down to the Coach’s unique style of filtered disco house music.

Coach Roebuck’s resume consists of rocking parties in some of the most unlikely places, ranging from West Virginia, Arkansas, and Kansas, to as far away as St. Gallen, Switzerland and Fortuna, Costa Rica. As a producer, Coach Roebuck has done a range of remixes for Anything But Monday of Universal Music, for Captyn Zodiak of the Captyn Zodiak TV show, and a host of other Indie labels. His own music has been released on Nocturnal Recordings, Bid Muzik, Digital Vinyl Recordings, and several others. The game is only beginning. The future looks very promising for the Coach. If the Coach has his way, he may end up being the Head Coach of the disco house music of today.”

Here is his exclusive mix, a beautiful mixture of hard disco with some old school sounds thrown in at the end.

Coach Roebuck Exclusive Mix

Prok and Fitch- Symphony

Bumpin new house track from Prok and Fitch out of the UK. Got that happy jumpin vibe that I love, with a slight electro feel.

Sollmy- You (Original Mix)

Beautiful sounding funky/soulful tech track from Sollmy out of Russia.  Love the sampled lyrics and the vibe. Can work in a relaxed lounge or can get folks dancing in an intimate setting.  One of the best discoveries I’ve found in a while.

Nice beat from Antonio Santana out of Guadalajara, Mexico. Sweet DJ for more slightly deeper tech house. This one gives an excellent funky sound.

New track from B Jinx and Jon Lockley. Nice track with a kind of progressive tech house feel to it. Well done. Available exclusively on Juno. Coming soon to Beatport

Karol XVII & MB Valence- The Rusty Piano (Shur-i-kan Remix)

Shur-i-kan of Britain gives a beautiful deep and soulful remix to The Rusty Piano from Polish producers Karol VII & MB Valence. If your into very deep and chill house, the kind you would expect at a nice lounge while sipping a cocktail, this is a track for you. Shur-i-kan is one of the best deep house producers out there, and he keeps it going with this mix.

PornoStar Records- Sexy Miami Disco Stars Compilation Album

Every label is releasing their Winter Music Conference compilations around this time, and the PornoStar Records compilation is quite a treat. It is filled with upbeat disco/house tracks. Two of my favorites are Bounce by Supertons and It’s Alright by P&ME (Paperboy and Mike Even Club Mix). The whole album is available on Beatport for 11.99, much cheaper than buying each single. Pick It Up!

Whitney Houston by Daddy’s Groove

Daddy’s groove is giving the late Whitney some serious house music love. They have two tracks out right now. The first is already becoming a hit, which is there remix with LIttle Nancy of the track It’s Not Right But Its Ok. Well done groovy house track.

Then they very nicely mixed I Wanna Dance with somebody with Avicii’s Penguins(Fade Into Darkness) on their soundcloud page. Beautiful
