I sent a message through the internet but it rejected: it's the 2011 mersh house thread

"Mr. Saxobeat" is neato but this is the Romanian dance/house-track I've been obsessing over the most:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ1LI-NTa2s

kudos to all them Romanian guys for realizing why eurodance was in the doldrums since house took over at the turn of the century, and what it needed to come back with a vengeance - some goddamn SWING to it! this tune is just endlessly poppin', every element in the mix pulling in its own rhythmical direction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU0Gl4TNpZo

^^ been jamming this one a lot recently too - though it's nowhere near the league of "Disco Romancing" and admittedly is a bit slight, but it's also so invitingly breezy

haha sorry, copy-pasted the wrong thing there - this is "Disco Romancing":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fpc4AUaHhY

Yeah I love love love "Disco Romancing" too but thought it might be a bit too 2010? Not that I discovered it until recently mind.

it was out in november ("Saxobeat too") but didn't get much notice til this year... usually takes some time for this kind of thing to do the rounds, Bob Taylor & Inna's "Deja Vu" being the classic example

i guess Sam La More's "I Wish It Could Last" is very very 2010 to you, but Europe-wise it got picked up by Kontor only few months ago (to no avail it seems) - i like it, it's fruity enough for me to not mind the crap video and the rather unfortunate whiny shouts in the climax

Haha this is the only music in the world where Australia sets trends.

sam la more is the greatest "people who have written their own wikipedia entry" ever

anyone else feeling Mord Fustang's Lick the Rainbow? 3rd gen cut-up house (Todd Edwards -> Justice -> Wolfgang Gartner), revels in juxtaposing weight instead of melodic texture, heavily indebted to macho dubstep, is crushingly fun... reached Beatport's #1 few weeks ago, only to get knocked off the top by a different guy from the same label with the same schtick (and a "Carmina Burana" sample lol)

loving "Targa", it has just about all i want from Australian post-Modular mersh!

fresh stuff i'm enjoying with reservations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL2hBGwhc4E

Roy Davis Jr - Enjoy the Ride (James Talk & Ridney Remix) - funky lil french house throwback, liking it a lot though several listens in i'm still feeling like every part drags on for a few unnecessary bars

Alexandra Stan - Get Back (ASAP) - top chorus but everything else about it is super-lazy

Lola feat. Ruby - Thinking of You (In the Screen Remix) - suprisingly non-shoddy vocal melody marred by shoddy singing, bah

fresh haircut frankendance i'm enjoying with no reservations or shame whatsoever:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvb0XxRxeSQ

It only took me 6 youtubes into this thread for me to find something I can stand.

1st was the absolute worst.

The Human Life track and Mind Taker's Romanian joints are cool tho.

FTR I don't actually like that Lil' Jon track, it just struck me as very 2011.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwPchKfZSRw

he'll probably never top his Pixie Lott remix - mersh electrohouse at its darkest and sexiest - but Linus Loves came correct once again with this sparkly electro-disco-house gem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqSKkxTU-00

since Kris Menace's done fuck all of worth in recent years, i'll gladly take prole-prog dudes stepping into his shoes

Looking forward to thread

Not new but 2011 and worthy:

<3 Alexandra Stan.

I've been listening to a lot of daft post-Guetta hip-hop / house hybrids over the last few weeks - Laurent Wery's Hey Hey Hey (which i think came out at the back end of last year), Ian Carey and Snoop's Last Night, Mirami's Sexualna, etc.

http://youtu.be/A1hHKyXecCs

The new Alex Gaudino single's pretty generic but enjoyable.

Fuck all of y'all for not alerting me to the existence of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPKTVBZY1bE

DEEJ GET IN HERE.

Ahhhhhh

Haha that is a singularly hilarious/terrible video

Jam though obv

rats! i had a go at this this evening and all i could scrape together were the mord fustang and roy davis jr tunes it turns out mt already posted. (why on earth isn't the latter all like the filter breakdown halfway in??)

(not sure i can ever handle doing the whole beatport 100 again btw - brain completely flatlined)

mr saxobeat is the nuts though

did i miss the talk about human life's 'in it together' last year :(

I discovered them via "Wherever We Are" and worked backwards. The clip for "Wherever" incidentally is a charming les love story set in Melbourne and fills me with parochial pride.

was a particular privilege to see the crap graffiti alley i must say.

might as well add that - julio bashmore's 'father father' unexpectedly aside - resident advisor's top 50 bored me equally senseless to beatport's. seems i am feeling quite comfy in traxsource's torpor however. nice safe black coffee remixes all day long.

can someoen rank what's been posted -- thread is mad inconsistent & i didnt bookmark the ones i liked :(

lmao @ tuneyards getting posted in here accidentally btw, i was excited to hear that one til i scrolled down & realized it was an error

there's only like 10 tunes in here!

yah but unlike w/ most pop youre stuck listening to like the opening 3-5 mins to get an idea of what its going for

listening at random this RDJ remix does feel like one of the stronger jams

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnTPHZ6uo7c

ok i def fuxx w/ this

breakdown was kinda underwhelming after that buildup actually

im totally not trained to recognize shit i like right away in this genre ... they will make some really dope moves & then fuck it up in the next section, not the kind of thing where you can be like "hey this is hot!!!" from a few second samples

I just assume I will be amused by this stuff rather than like it, if it's actually any good that's a free lunch.

was a particular privilege to see the crap graffiti alley i must say.

okay this scene was hamfisted yes. But I know girls like this and that is exactly where they would go to ooh and ahh.

best part of that SHM+tempah song from last year was that it was both LOL & XD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLzaZ_HXmjw

i win

lol

rtc i see you didn't mention "Cry (Just a Little)" in your Beatport roundup, does that mean ur not into it :\

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXdUsQoOzak

more Romanian goodness:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLxGfGAReGY

<3 <3 <3 the flute

Dionne Bromfield feat. Lil Twist - Foolin' (Bellatrax Radio Edit)

^^ not on youtube but easily googlable and very good

XP, Yes! I was listening to Ti Amo this afternoon and digging the flute!

Another Romanian single i've been quite enjoying recently is Corina's No Sleepin'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztu0ekBS99w

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2pwioLzA28

no-nonsense big room/open air tech-house tune of the year?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6AtYSBFh58

So cheesy and melodic and warm and wet and fun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d6b1yn-YhQ&ob=av2e

Have we spoke about this year's attempt at "No Speak Americano"?

Is there anything even remotely wrong with this tune? Cos I don't see it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlQfHdiEDgU&feature=related

A few months late but I really admire the obnoxious over-the-top nature of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmuk2pAJxmc

not exactly 100% mersh but still - here's a mix i did recently:

http://soundcloud.com/mind-taker/mind-taker-pelin-tonik

Mind Taker help me out here: I'm hearing everywhere (well, anywhere involving gay people) this house remix of "All That She Wants" which some desktop research sounds exactly like this Kaffien cover (e.g. stomping sax house workout) from 2011 but with the original song's vocals, and occasionally slowing down into the original groove too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aflSsi8Ykw

Do you know what I'm referring to? It feels intuitively like the biggest non-EDM mersh house tune in ages.

sadly i can be of no help :\

Yolanda Be Cool have just released an "All That She Wants" cover but neither it nor any of the attendant remixes i've heard fit your description

the vocals on that are hilarious!

Definitely not the Yolanda Be Cool version. I haven't made my mind up about that one.

you guys ever get to the bottom of this
