Summertime in Athens..

Posted on July 14, 2013 by Dimdim

..to me means cocktails by the pool or by the sea, listening to some subgenre of house music.

This year Deep House and Nu-Disco are all the rage.

If you ask me, it was about friggin’ time.

For the past year I’ve been posting to FB all the little gems that I was coming accross, but then I realized that FB is useless when you need to actually keep track of what you are posting.
So I’m starting a series of posts here that will do the same thing, but hopefully keep things more organized. It took me a couple of days but I have managed to cover what has happened these last 12 months. Here it goes:

July 2012: Finnebassen, Coleco

New and hot from the UK..
ETML – Bind Me:

This one is literally haunting me..
Disclosure – You & Me ft. Eliza Doolittle (Flume Remix):

OK, this is not exactly fresh, but since I went and saw Lana Del Rey live a few days back, it seems relevant. Plus it is one awesome deep remix!
Lana Del Rey – Summertime Sadness (Asadinho Main Vocal Remix):

And since we are expecting Digitaria tomorrow for a DJ set at Bolivar Beach Bar, here are a couple of her tracks:
Digitaria – Shine (Original Mix):

Adana Twins feat. Digitaria – Reaction (Original Mix):

Silverstar, Fabo, Häxeri, The Crusaders, Peter & The Magician

It doesn’t get much deeper than this!

I know, I’m late to the party, but I have to post this!
Body Language – Falling Out (Fabo Remix):

This is giving me goosebumps..

Morgan Page feat. Lissie – The Longest Road (Superstring Remix):

And finally, The Magician has come up with new material, and it is good!!! 🙂
I can’t get this out of my head!!!! (Well, I guess that that was the premise of the track anyway.. :P)
Peter & the Magician ft Sophie Galpin – On My Brain:

Sharam Jey, Zimmer

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Dimdim

And then there was Sharam Jey. And he was fun, very fun!
Sharam Jey, Teenage Mutants – Understand Me! (Original Mix):

Zimmer came up with a new remix, very catchy!
Micky Green – In Between (Zimmer remix):

Slightly unpronounceable name but excellent track!
Thallulah feat.Talul – Only My Love (Original Mix):

Finally, an excellent Lana Del Rey remix! I can’t get enough of this track!!!
Lana Del Rey – Dark Paradise (Parov Stelar Official Remix):

M-People – Don’t Look Any Further (Satin Jackets & Chris Jylkke Haircut Remake):

It seems that wherever Karmon is involved, things get really interesting! This is just right..
Jimmy & Fred – I See Lights (Karmon Remix):

At last but not least, Chris Jylkke has a new mix! Guess what.. it’s excellent!!
Chris Jylkke – Just 4 U [Mixtape June 2013]:

Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love (Pretty Pink Edit)

..and the last one too:
Kamandi – Smoke Club:

Hot Natured, Chris Jylkke, Daft Punk

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Dimdim

I can’t believe this is the first I hear of these guys!! This is just pure fun! 🙂

Hot Natured & Ali Love – Benediction (Full Length):

Hot Natured featuring Anabel Englund – Reverse Skydiving:

..plus a very comprehensive Deep House mix by Chris Jylkke. This really is what Deep House is all about.
Deep Days (May 2013):
[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/90322842″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

At last but not least, I hear Daft Punk put out a new album. At least that’s what everyone and their grandmother is talking about.
OK, I must admit, I really like the album. It is indeed fresh even though it sounds dated. 😉

IMHO one track stands out:

“If you lose your way tonight that’s how you know the magic’s right”

Plus a Deep House remix (Nuss Remix):

It’s been way too long since I had done something like this.

Here it is, in all of its glory, my April 2013 Nu Disco mix:

NuDisco & House Mix, April 2013 by Dimitris Dimitrakoudis on Mixcloud

It is indeed rough, done with no preparation and no PFL, so be lenient.. 🙂

UPDATE!

Here is part 2 of the mix:
