Klavay Weekly Mix #6
Thursday, February 23, 2012
Sleeper of the Week: Cherry Coke
He hails from Przemyśl, Podkarpackie, Poland (
however that is pronounced), well that aside I by chance landed on his remix of
Away while looking for a different track. And OH BOY, did I find a Gem. Being
and avid listener of all sub genres of House music, Cherry Coke brings his own
flavor to game. By incorporating vocals seamlessly into his drops
making the song just POP and also kind of has a hint of that Basto (one
of my favorites) flavor with his chord progressions. He is young and
hungry having started out making bootlegs and already into production. There
will be more to come from Cherry Coke, if he ever finds his way out of Poland.
Its always nice to throw on a House song that isn't Levels (although I
love that song) but gotta mix it up. Right? Check out the links I provided, and
tell your friends about West Coast 808!

American DJ Spotlight: Treasure Fingers
Many of you might know ATL for being the epicenter of Dirty South Rap being the hometown of T.I., Outkast, Ludacris, and other big names. But Treasure Fingers an innovative Disco House producer also calls Atlanta home. Disco House uses a lot of samples from old Disco tracks, and hence they have a nice funky dance feel to them. Treasure Fingers aka "Ashley Jones" got his start as a member of the drum and bass group "Evol Intent" before going off on a successful solo career. This guy has been in the game for over a decade earning the respect of some of the biggest names in the game, and has toured with some big name guys such as Laidback Luke & Benny Benassi (just to name a few). His sound is very distinct and creative, fresh synths and hard hitting drum breaks. Check out the tracks I have provided below. Let the FUNK PLAY!

Madeon
Hugo Leclercq, a.k.a Madeon, is an
electropop producer/DJ hailing from France. Best known for his remix of Deadmau5’s “Raise Your Weapon”
and his original live mashup “Pop Culture,” a combination of 39 pop songs into
one track, this 17-year-old phenom has blown up over the past year. Madeon uses a Novation Launchpad to
create music, which essentially allows him to “play” his tracks live (check out the YouTube video below and you'll see what I mean). I had the chance to see this guy live
at Snowglobe Music Festival in South Lake Tahoe, CA over the 2011 New Year’s
Eve weekend and he absolutely killed it.
As cliché as it sounds, all of his tracks just make you want to dance,
and he had the crowd going wild throughout the entire set. Madeon does an amazing job of blending
house and pop music to create his own unique style and sound. Keep an eye out for this kid, he’s only
going to become a bigger name in electronic music as time goes on.

Klavay in the Mix 005 - Hi Everybody!!
What's going on my fellow EDM enthusiasts! Klavay here introducing myself. I am a DJ/producer/blogger from Madison, WI. I use to author a blog called "Sound Of My Shoes," but sadly, I began to find myself focusing more on my music and less on blogging. My good friend Tom has been kind enough to let me join the party here at Westcoast 808. So here it is, the latest installment of Klavay in the Mix.
In this episode, I have plenty of tracks from up and comers such as JoeySuki, Lazrtag, Caveat and plenty more. My personal favorite is the brand new track from Lucky Date called "Six 16." Go ahead and take a listen, follow me on my Mixcloud profile, and be on the lookout for my new track which should be done over the weekend. I'll try and get a preview up a little later tonight.

Klavay in the Mix Vol. 4
Another mix put out by DJ Klavay, hitting it hard with some of the newest tracks featuring 'Eyes Wide Open'- Dirty South and 'In My Mind (Axwell Edit)'. I personally love the first song 'Can't Stop Me'- Afrojack, a heavy hitting, nice vocal track, with some serious bass to it. Can't say a bad thing about this mix, be sure to keep your eyes open for his own original productions soon, I've been in the studio heard it the works (REALLY GOOD). Download it and enjoy.

Sleeper of the Week: Ehrencrona
I happen to stumble upon this guy while listening to this video which was wrongly labeled as Avicii ( if you don't know don't post it). This guy has some real talent, got some nice melody, and has nice vocals on his tracks. Can't find a whole lot of info on this guy, but he hails from SWEDEN. Listen to the tracks, spread the word.
