Digitalism "Jupiter Room"

Digitalism, "Jupiter Room (Martian Assault edit)"


Here's the new Digitalism track on Kitsune, a definite banger, so necessary for summer DJ sets in my opinion. Digitalism is a German duo that have mainly recorded for Kitsune, although not exclusively. It's quite an amazing time right now in Europe, as there are so many people worthy of the tag Next Big Thing or MVP or whatever. Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Isolee, Ricardo Villalobos, just to name a few, all of these names put out heat after heat, it's almost overwhelming. These guys are right up, as everything they've touched turns to gold.

On this track, be patient. It starts off slow, then BOOM! I love the rain storm sound in the beginning, as you know the storm is coming, you just gotta wait. It gets a heavy bass line and liquid effects and we're off. It's really the middle of the song where lift-off happens, that breakdown where things get loud and distorted. In the middle of all this, that thumping bass comes in and I can imagine the dancefloor going crazy. More to come on this duo tomorrow.w

-I've been meaning to mention this new mix put together by Mark Ronson and everyone's favorite blogga turnt spinna Nick Catchdubs called Radio Radio. I'll be placing my order shortly, you should do the same. Also, grab a Catchdubs set and one from his DJ partner DJ Ayers for East Village Radio, which should tide you over until the EVR studios are renovated. Finally, if you just can't get enough of him, Nick has a podcast up on The Fader site, which is my favorite of the bunch. It's called Summer Jams, specializing in those songs that are the soundtrack of these months.

-It's kinda sad that one has to get excited about the renewal of the 1964 Voting Rights Act with no changes, but these are the times we live in. The House voted down 4 amendments that would have eased the requirements for Southern states like Mississippi and Alabama.
