Disco Ball’z- Don’t Stop
Sorry guys, been off the blog a while, but I’m back with a fresh goodie from Disco Ball’z out of Hungary. This appears on the label LadyMarySound’s Winter Music Conference sampler. Uplifting happy house track here that should have dancefloors grooving out from this rising star of the disco house scene.

Eric Sneo Feat. Chris The Voice- Shut Up and Dance (Pleasurekraft Remix)
Umek’s label 1605 usually gives a banging techno sound, but this Pleasurekraft remix is a very groovy house cut. Love the vocals and the build. Hits a sweet spot between progressive, funky, and disco that works so well.

Electric Soulside- Caliente (Sonny Fodera Remix)
Groovy house tune here from Electric Soulside and remixed by Australian Sonny Fodera. Fodera has been one of my favorite producers of late, making funky, jackin tunes with a good feel and lots of swing. This gem is no different, featuring fast beats infused with a latin sound.

Exclusive Mix- DJ Jon Lockley
DJ Jon Lockley has given the second exclusive mix for ILHouze.com. A native of Georgia, Jon currently resides in Daegu, South Korea. Here is the biography from his site:
There are plenty of DJs in the industry who isolate themselves to one style whereas Jon Lockley has the ability to deliver sets from various genres. His original style and finesse behind the decks has been revolutionizing the elements of electronic music for over a decade. In his sets, Lockley flawlessly merges the sounds of bass heavy break beats with progressive melodic house so easily and so fluidly that his peers are left in awe. His unique style and immaculate technique places him in a category alongside the industry’s elite. Not only does he captivate crowds with his powerful sets, but he also lays down his own original production work to separate himself from the rest of the pack. His sets and his tracks achieve their goal — to make people dance. His passion for music certainly seems to be the key to his longevity. Having played at venues across the globe, his name has become synonymous with electronic music.
Jon has headlined with heavyweight electronic artists such as Steve Porter, Johnny Fiasco, DJ Icey, Phil K, Myagi, Magic Mike, Kimball Collins, and Michael Myers just to name a few. Not only does he captivate crowds with his powerful sets, he also lays down his own original productions which have found their way into the Top 100 at Beatport.com and Trackitdown.net.
Lockley has been on a production tear recently, releasing tracks and remixes on Visiomind and Kushtee record labels in the past three months and working with other SK based producers like Daniel Lyons and B. Jinx. He is a versatile DJ who can tech, house, and electro. Here is his exclusive Mix for ILhouze.com
Ivan Gomez- You Drive Me Crazy (Coqui Selection Remix)

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.
Detox Recordings WMC party 2011, Miami FL.
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.

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!
