The two French techno dons have collaborated to release this new Ep on (their own??) Bromance Records. Check out the Soundcloud previews below then go and cop the whole release.
They have just embarked on a "Bromance Tour" across Europe and Northern America, so we can only hope that they brave the 24 hour flight from Europe to OZ for a club tour. There may be a high chance you wont have a brain left after it though.
Schools over for the year, so I can get back to posting some music. Its been a while since I have actually posted anything substantial so I thought I had better make up for lost time with this post. Here is some stuff from some artists who I have been really digging as of late.
Eats Everything, his name seems to be on everyones lips at the moment, he made everyone take notice with the aptly named track Entrance Song and now is scaling the Beatport charts at an alarming rate with the newly released self titled EP on Dirtybird. That little city of Bristol has produced another bass demon.
You don't continually make it into Resident Advisors monthly top 50 chart unless you are making really ,really good music. And Maceo Plex (aka Maetrik) is one person that always seems to squeeze two or three of his tracks into the chart. House music full of substance right here,perfect for hot summer days in the park.
I have Melbourne wizard Mat Cant to thank for this one , heard him play it at Revolver a while back, and it somehow remained in my memory, strange because Revolver and remembering things don't usually go hand in hand.
Drop the Lime, haven't heard a whole lot of new material from the rockabilly fiend. He gives the iconic Surfin Bird a nice little rub over on this number. Yep, bird is still the word.
What makes a memorable electronic track? Well, I guess there is a lot of factors, but perhaps the most important thing is that it has to be unique, and French duo Chateau Flight have done exactly that with Chi Chi Devils . Getting spins from the likes of Erol Alkan and Sven Vath, soooo good.
I was going to make this post supersized, but I have decided against it and will just post the rest of the tracks I have lined up over the coming days. Hope you liked the tunes for the day. More bombs on the way.
BONUS: I am not the biggest fan of the whole progressive sound/scene, but when a track like this comes along there is no way I can dislike it This makes you feel like a fucking superhero.
Steve Aoki's latest hit 'Earthquakey People' gets a remix by Smidgem regular Dillon Francis. As you would expect he brings the tempo back to 110bpm to aqquire that moombahton sound and well, you really just need to listen to this one LOUD..
Spenda C (aka Steve Lind) has been pushing the moombahton sound in Australia way before most of us had even heard of it. He definitley saw the potential right out of the gates and established another moniker with his mate Deckhead under the name of The Mane Thing which is dedicated to the 110 bpm moombah sound.
He sent these insane bootlegs out a couple of weeks ago for free. I honestly cant get enough of these, the play count has gone through the roof!
Dillon Francis' brand new single I.D.G.A.F.O.S (I don't give a fuck or shit) is finally out today. This guy is seriously about to take the world by storm purely because he is pushing these hybrid moombahton beats that are so damn fun.
Head on over to beatport to pick this one up... Do it now!!
It was such a tradgedy that one of the worlds most cool and innovative producers died at such a young age a little over a month ago. Dj Mehdi will forever be remembered by all those who have had the pleasure to listen to his music.
A-Trak put together this minimix as a tribute to his friend...
From humble beginnings late last year, What So Not (aka Emoh Instead & Flume) have clawed their way through various genres & tempos, creating & manipulating synth patches, percussive layers & vocal transpositions. The end result is a sound that cannot be labeled or catagorised, only heard. Now officially signed Ajax'sSweat it Out label, 'What So Not's debut EP will be released in the coming weeks.
'7 Dollar Bill', is the name & title track from this 4 track EP.
Hope you all get right behind these boys as they're definitly pushing the sounds of the future..
I saw this on Skrillex's Facebook page a few days ago and I must say I was instantly intrigued. Not only does this project involve a new Skrillex collaboration with the remaining members of The Doors, it also has other unlikely artists and producers teaming up. The idea was to place a DJ/producer out of their respective genre and team them up with a famous artist or producer of that genre and one that has been around for a while. I think the one I'm most excited about (apart from Skrillex) is Pretty Lights with Leann Rimes and 84 year old country legend Ralph Stanley. By the looks of this video the juxtaposition of these artists will be a thrill not only to listen to, but to watch how they each approach the music creation process as well.
Zeds Dead latest track Rumble In The Jungle dropped only a few day ago on Mad Decent andis about to blow up. With elements of reggae and moombahton laid on top of a beat that lies somewhere in the grey area between dubstep and drum and bass it can be described as a tropical hawaiian monster.
Yep this just happened released only yesterday it's hot off the press. Last week it was The Oddword this week its the Belgium bass master Modek's turn. From start to finish this is jam packed with lots of new and unreleased tunes so treat yourself, And get on this quick
Amsterdam based record label Basserk Records is celebrating there 5th anniversary. Here is there gift to you.
''After 5 years of Basserk we have met and released a lot of great artists and we wanted to find a way to put them all together, we think the Big Fat Zip does that perfectly. This compilation is made possible by 40 different artists who all give their music to you for nothing. If you like what they do, support them, buy their music (even if its not on Basserk), like them on social media, go see them play or just send them a message saying thanks.''
Smidgem regular and one of Australia's hottest producers at the moment is Vengeance. He is responsible for heavy hitting electro tracks like Nebulas and his latest one 'Bitch' which is a collab with Squidface. Not to mention having mixed Smidgem's first guestmix.
Jump on this mix right now, it definitely wont disappoint!!
Ado has just released his latest EP called 'Ultra' on Fake Bloods record label Blood Music. We previewed it here on smidgem a few weeks back and on its release im giving to you my fav track off it called AGE. Head on over to Beatport for the full release.
Here is what a few names had to say about the Ultra Ep
Mr. Oizo: "Loving his EP. Whos Ado?" Clouds: "This was always going to be amazing and yes, yes it is." Boys Noize: "nice, will check on floor" Andy George: "Holy Mother of God. Age is huge. Will be supporting in a big way!" 2manydjs: "Love Age, choon" Crookers: "All the tracks are stoopid tremors!" Tony Senghore: "Truly exciting stuff!" His Majesty Andre: "Incredibly Huge" Jack Beats: "Ultra is a banger" Riton: "oh this is fresh" Harvard Bass: "This EP is well put out! I'm really into The Ultra, definitely adding to my set." A-Trak: "Bleep bleep bleep. Good stuff" DJ Mehdi: "The Ultra for me." Boy*bit: "The Ultra is right up my street. Definitely looking forward to playing The Ultra and Voids" NT89: "love it big time!" Hey Today!: "Love it!" Rynecologist: Wow! Amazing! Definitely making a way into my set! Massive release! Boris Dluglosch: "Amazing, playin all tracks" Tommie Sunshine: "this is simply perfect music.I'm speechless"

The power duo known as ZZT picked up heaps of attention this year when Tiga and Zombie Nation unleashed the massive Zzafrika remix package, and now the guys are back with a new single, ‘Vulkan Alarm! This is my favourite remix of the pack, Proxy adds his dark, crunchy bass heavy sound that you’d expect.
The Oddword are dropping a new EP to be released October 7th and from what I've herd it's MASSIVE and about time to. Below is a preview of whats to come.. Treat your ears to this one.
Just as you would expect, the French techno producer Gesaffelstein reworked Duck Sauce's latest track in all the right places. This guy can do no wrong at the moment and is definitely bringing techno back to the masses.
This October long weekend marks the first in a series of 'Awesome' releases from the HOUSE OF FUN label... and to Celebrate they're hosting a POST PARKLIFE KICK-ON PARTY! Celebrate in style, and leave in shreds.
STARFUCKER DJs and Narrator lead an all-star line up including Ruslan, Trelz, La Dooda, Error and Mon Ami Fresh Meat DJ OH BOY as HOUSE OF FUN launch Narrator's single 'Awesome' featuring Epic remixes from STARFUCKERS, La Dooda, LKiD and Stupid Fresh (UK).
The HOUSE OF FUN label has become greater than the sum of it's parts of late, which speaks volumes when its parts consist of deck veterans STARFUCKER DJs and hot up-and-coming producers like 'Narrator'. You'll be able to buy his single online, or he might give you a free one if you suck him off.
If you missed Narrator's guestmix he did for us a few weeks ago, you can pick it up here. It comes complete with a MASSIVE bootleg pack that he is giving away for free. Dont miss this one!!!
Smidgem's regular party starter Jim Junkie has done it again with this fuckin' dope new mixtape. As always it's packed to the brim with bangers of every genre and mixed to perfection. As we say all too often here at Smidgem, 'get on this one', you'll definitely thank me for it.

Error are the latest group to come out of Australia's newest breeding ground for producers and DJs aka Wollongong. Consisting of La Dooda and Trelz, the boys have only been mixing and producing together for a few months and already have a tonne of insane party mashups that will have the girls whipping thier hair back and foward in no time.
I only just got a hold of this mixtape yesterday and is has been on serious repeat.. Super fun party style jams and mashups. I highly recommend downloading this now!
One of Smidgem's regular heavy hitters Hydraulix sent this insane dubstep mixtape through last week. Its got the gold on it that you all love to hear and some fresh remixes and edits from Hydraulix himself. If you love your dub then make sure you head along to the opening night of Boss Bass at Chinese Laundry on the 7th October. If this mix is anything to gauge off, I recommend getting in there early before the crew blow the roof off! Be sure to like the Boss Bass page to stay up to date with all future events.
I can't get my head around how awesome this track is. It's big, it's tight, it's clean, it's dirty, it makes me laugh & it gets me in to mood for good times.
Super airy chords, sustained female vocal hits & tight kick & snare set the mood of the into. Muching in at 28 seconds, is a wacked out delayed synth line, consisting of a messy hoover top layer & clean sine low end.
My fav parts is at 1:49. Tight kick & snare, vocal stabs & an epic clean sub baseline.
Found this on the new moombah soul comp. Was by far my favorite of the bunch.
Great melody & very well produced.
Trading in his dirty birds for squealing monkeys, Claude has come up with a awesome kick, sub & flaw tom groove in chimps. I wasn't the biggest fan of the grungy synth the comes in until I saw this video ;)
Fresh from his new album & soon to visit our shores, Jan Drive has been making some amazing tunes. From his epic 'Gain Reaction' (check Dillon Francis' opener @ this years Mad Decent Block Party) to the bigroom funky sounds of golden super.
Rusko - Cockney Thug (Chong Remix) There's a heap of these 'dub/moombah edits' going round, but Chong's is solid. keeping all the intensity & bass of the original with a moombah groove.
ELECTRO - Clouds has been making huge waves ever since Tiga dragged him out of his previous job at a fast food restaurant. He has a very unique sound that only a few producers seem to be in to at the moment such as Ado and Modek.
PARTY BEATS - Aussie legend Nick Thayer is leading the charge for these super cool party style jams. No matter what style of music you're in to, it is impossible not to have a smile ear to ear on the dancefloor with these beats blasting out of the speakers.
Mega Bonus - Soon to be superstar, Thrusher recently whipped this mix up for the radio show 'Mix For Next Generation Dj's' on Novanation. As you would expect he used all of the above genres and melted them together and added a healthy dose of moombahton for good measure. Flawless victory!!
Having a bit of a Youtube session the other night, I found myself browsing through some drum solos. At first I was just watching your typical Metal band drummer having a little thrash about during a show,but what happened next blew my mind!
Some of you out there may have seen this already, but for those who haven't ,you have to check this out!!!!!!!!!!
And finally a drumming throwback. Remember this kid???? Well as it turns out Tony Royster Junior is now the drummer for Jay-Zs live show!!!
Don't believe me?? Here he is all grown up playing Jay-Z's epic PSA (Public Service Announcment).....Killing it......Clearly!
