Funkabit – Lords of Coney Island (Brini Remix) – NEW EP!

I meant to post this waaaay back on the 9th of March. We featured Funkabit about a year ago on the site with his track "Cardigan". This time around, he's returned with a fresh new offering interestingly called "Lords of Coney Island", an EP with remixes from acts like Brini, Scuola Furano, Fare Soldi, and Useless Wooden Toys.

The original is a great pumping and rising electro track with a catchy vocal sample. Funkabit definitely knows how to play with bass adding to the fun vibe that his tracks have, not too hard or too slow. The Brini remix brings the track up to a higher energy and is perfect for that time that you need a hard anthem track. The Fare Soldi remix is a bit funkier while Scuola Furano's remix on "Lords" starts off great, but doesn't really go anywhere like their Act Yo Age remix we posted up a few weeks ago. The Wooden Toys mix really takes a whole different direction with the track and stays interesting by playing around with the original sound.

All in all, the EP is a fantastic grab with the original and Brini mix being the best highlights off the record.

Pick it up now at Beatport!

Don Diablo ft Example – Instant Replay

So we had a chance to check out the extremely-busy Don Diablo live for the first time here in NY at M2 this past Friday. He laid down a killer set, and not only that, he did a live performance with UK MC, Example! We're psyched to share one of the tracks from that performance today; it sounded really amazing live with the two artists.

"Instant Replay" does not dissapoint, as many collaborations tend to just fall through. The electro and grime hip hop feel to the track makes it something that will get people going crazy. I can only imagine the damage remixes of this track will cause.

Diablo is also producing part of Example's forthcoming album together with Chase & Status, Calvin Harris, MJ Cole and others and he remixed his forthcoming single "Girl Can't Dance". If you're in Miami for WMC, catch them Thursday March 26 either at the IDMA's or at Areo Bar Miami for a promotional show.

Act Yo Age – The Flash (Scuola Furano Remix)

Act Yo Age is back at it again with a new track "LUCKY 13" and a remix of their track "The Flash" by Italian Rap/House act Scuola Furano. Podcast users, if you'd like LUCKY 13, jump over to the site to pick it up.

The Scuola Furano remix of "The Flash" has a classic house feel to it with classic synth stabs, a fantastic long buildup, and drum breakdowns. If you're a fan of old-school sound, this is the track for you.

The group's new single, "LUCKY 13" is a drilling electro track with ragga vocal hooks. As the group says:

With the innocence of a Columbian drug lord, the smile of a brazilian girl working the famous Help club in Copacabana and the gangsta of a young Biggie, comes Lucky 13, Act Yo Age's finest moment - Lucky 13. The best track on the block. We hope you agree. Also peep the B side, an unbelievable interpretation of the now classic Act Yo Age track - The Flash. This killer mix coming courtesy of Italian funk-stars SCULOA FURANO, mixed [engineered] by none other than BOT, you might know him better as the half of CROOKERS.

Pick up the track when it drops on Sweat It Out, appropriately, on Friday, March 13th only on Beatport.
