Tom Wax and Jennifer Pliester- Are You Into My Groove

Sweet uppity tech house here from Tom Wax and Jennifer Pliester. I like the bounciness. Definitely a club track, especially early on to warm up the the crowd.

Shaun McDonald- 1988

 

Wicked sounding minimal track here from Shaun Macdonald from Glasgow, Scotland.  Got just the right amount of bounce to give it a funky feel. Big Thumbs Up!

Submotion Orchestra- It’s Not Me It’s You

I just discovered these guys, Submotion Orchestra, out of Britain. Chilled out and soulful dubstep. Perfect for summer.

 

Available on Beatport

Sander Van Doorn and Mayaeni- Nothing Inside

 

Dutchman Sander Van Doorn drops beautiful progressive house with great vocals. Definitely has that epic summer sundown/sunrise feel to it.

Exclusive Mix- B. Jinx

B. Jinx is the third DJ/Producer I am featuring in my exclusive mixes series.  He is a native of Missouri, but has been living and traveling abroad for most of the last decade. This has influenced his sounds in a major way and enabled him to become a truly global producer who doesn’t just know what is popular around the world, but also what is popular in various regions and how they have influenced each other. His full bio from his website is as follows:

B. Jinx has been a DJ/Producer since the early 2000s. As a producer, he has made many tracks under many monikers just for fun. The earliest highlight when he was featured on the indie label Painfully Midwestern’s “Comomusic Anthology vol.2” compilation. He has been featured on various remix projects for indie rock artists.

Back in the day, he was mixing and looping tracks on a cassette player. Many years after finished university, he finally bought his first set of Technics and soon started to DJ at small parties and open deck nights. B. Jinx has definitely came a long way.

His journey has taken him to many places throughout the his native US and the world. Also, his productions are generating some buzz from the underground community. His 2011 release “They Got to Have It” on Round House Records charted on DJ Download, Track It Down, and Juno; and it has sparked a new life for him in production. He would always say that introducing folks to the underground is more important than releasing a bunch of tracks. The hustle always begins small, but hopefully, it will turn into something relevant for the people.

You can catch his current releases on most major music sites including iTunes, Beatport, and Juno Downloads.  He has released over 10 tracks and remixes so far this year with more on the way.  His current mix includes both house and tech. Here it is.
