Sleeper of the Week: Badisco



Badisco is a young producer from Switzerland, who took his skills as a keyboardist and knowledge of sequencers into the realm of electronic music production. His tracks have a similar sound to Avicii and Basto (if you still don't know him you should) with the big progressive cords and a happy and uplifting feel to his tracks. Melancholy (featured below) was my first taste of the Badisco sound, and since then I have been hooked on that big piano sound and his build ups are sure to get people jacked. On his SoundCloud page ( http://soundcloud.com/badisco ) you can see the preview he posted just yesterday for his upcoming track Horizons, which is definitely a track that I am excited to be officially released.  That being said, the best is yet to come from this young gun, and be on the look out for him in the near future.  If you like West Coast 808 tell your friends about the blog and be sure to  Like the blog on Facebook to receive updates.  Thank you to all my readers.

Dirty South's New Release: Devil's Work Remix


Dirty South has been one of my favorite producers for a while, he has got flare to his work and his use of vocals is superb. The song the 'Devil's Work' was originally a Miike Snow track which had a calm feel to it, but Dirty South transforms the song into a club/festival banger. The build ups are long but when the beat drops, the song becomes a whole different beast.  Below is a HQ version of his remix which was released today and is available for purchase on Beatport. I also have included some of  my favorite tracks.  

Bio: Dirty South or 'Dragan Roganovic' was born in Serbia, and began is career by making remixes and mashups on his family computer. His work caught the eye of Australian record company: Vicious Vinyl, and he his career has just been uphill from there. In 2009 he was ranked 59 in DJ Mags top 100,  and has done tracks with the likes of the Swedish House Mafia and David Guetta.
