Damien Granier know as "Das Glow" is part of the 2006 new wave of Institubes artists, along with Surkin and Bobmo. Das Glow produces serious electronic music, which tends to represents Institubes’ vision of minimal techno. His firt release, “Weiss Gaz EP”, is absolutely insane.
Im not a fan of tracks that have a long build up but this one rocks my socks!
24 years old Surkin (born Benoit Heitz) comes from southern France but lives and works in Paris. He dropped out of art school four years ago and never looked back. Surkin got into dance music through Detroit ghettotech and started to dig deeper into club music history, focusing on Miami Bass, Chicago ghetto, and house music. Add a thick layer of glammed-up filtered house courtesy of French dons Daft Punk and local originators Jess & Crabbe and you’ve got the full Surkin mille-feuilles.
Fukkk Offf aka Bastian Heerhorst has been renowned for some time in his hometown for storming live sets in the clubs scattered around Hamburg’s red light district. “Die sündige Meile” or “the sinful mile” as it is known has seen its walls shaked and thighs quaked by the throbbing depths of Bastian’s big room Fukkk Offf Sound. Many a night you would witness the frustration on the faces of lonely old men as they realized that the brothels were empty. All the girls would no doubt be down at the club shaking their money makers to the sounds of our young hero. These same streets are where the Beatles made their way in the early 60s. John Lennon was once quoted as saying “I might have been born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg.”

David Guetta (born November 7th, 1967 in Paris) is a French DJ.
He was the pioneer of French house with Up & Way, a garage-style track with vocals by Robert Owens released in 1992 – really made a name for himself in the mid-90s as one of the key catalysts of Parisian nightlife by promoting evenings at such renowned Paris hot spots as Folies Pigalle, Queen, Bataclan, Palace and Les Bains, where he invited DJ legends like Little Louie Vega, David Morales, DJ Pierre and Roger Sanchez to join him on the turntables. In 2001, however, he went back to his first love: making music.
Launched by the single “Just A Little More Love”, an electro-funk-house cocktail featuring Chris Willis of the band Nashville on vocals, David Guetta’s first album was released by Virgin in June 2002 and went on to sell 250,000 copies. This resounding success carried through in the album’s second, even more devastating single, “Love Don’t Let Me Go”, a track reminiscent of Moroder’s techno-disco style crossed with Depeche Mode’s new-wave sound.
Like fellow Frenchman Laurent Garnier, David started off his career in the gay clubs around Paris. Les Halles district in the mid-80s, going on to make a name for himself in acid-house and hip-hop. His first album heralded the beginning of a new DJ career – this time on a global level. Named after the parties he hosts on Ibiza, the fabled isle of techno, David’s “F*** ME I’M FAMOUS: IBIZA DJ MIX”, which featured his remix of David Bowie’s Heroes, went gold: no small feat for a compilation CD. For the last three years, David has been invited to mix throughout Europe on a regular basis and, more and more often, in the United States, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Israel as well.
The brainchild of Beni G (Mixologists) and Plus One (Scratch Perverts), Jack Beats represent part of the new wave of British house music. Wobbly basslines, big breakdowns and edgy accapella’s are cut, copied and pasted together to create a floor-filling brand of house.
Citing influences as diverse as Timbaland, Rage Against the Machine, A Guy Called Gerald and SebastiAn, this British duo demanded our immediate attention after their gob-smacking take on Boy 8-Bit’s anthem Fogbank dropped earlier this year. What followed were bass-heavy collaborations with Deekline and Wizard, bombastic refixes of Trip’s guitar-driven Who’s That? and The Black Ghosts classic I Want Nothing and the unforgettable transformation of Epic Last Song by Does It Offend You, Yeah? into a classic pop-dance tune.
Here's another Diplo Remix. This one is of Britney Spears' "Circus. Two Britney remixes in two days? Three since the beginning of this blog? What can I say, I guess listening to Britney Spears remixes is a guilty pleasure of mine...
Diplo, Diplodocus, Wes Gully, and Wes Diplo are all pseudonyms of Wesley Pentz, a Philadelphia-based producer and DJ since 2003. Together with DJ Low Budget he runs Hollertronix, a party and music collective. In addition to his solo career, he has worked with Sri-Lankan/Tamil singer and artist M.I.A.. The two were also romantically involved. Pentz’s alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.
As a DJ, Diplo is characterized by his eclectic, often 80s-oriented mashups, mixtapes, and live sets. On his full-length solo effort Florida, however, his sound is closer to sample-based cinematic instrumental hip hop, not unlike the work of DJ Shadow.
Born in Mississippi and raised across the southern United States, Diplo picked up much of the local culture while growing up there. Music styles such as dirty south, crunk and miami bass are now trademark ingredients of the Hollertronix output. Pentz’s solo work is also influenced by Southern Gothic and other southern literature. Additionally, world music is a strong musical influence on Diplo, especially baile funk which he encountered whilst traveling in Brazil.
Diplo was recently signed to Ninja Tune, on the Big Dada imprint. In 2006, he started his own label, Mad Decent, signing Brazilian baile funk group Bonde do Role and Dj Blaqstarr.
Size matters, and by any standard of measurement, Alex Metric’s talent is large, as made clear by the release of his new debut artist e.p. Whatshewants. At just 26 years of age, Marine Parade’s newest signing has made a big splash as both DJ and producer. He’s played gigs spanning the globe from Fabric in London to Eastern European festivals to Los Angeles clubs, and developed a significant rep for his work in the studio assisting superstars ranging from Adam Freeland to Darren Emerson. Nominated as breakthrough producer at the 2006 Breakspoll awards, Metric’s also getting buzz for his own production work. DJs across the board have begun to sit up and take notice of his productions on a wide range of esteemed imprints, including Underwater, Fourtwenty, Lot49 and now Marine Parade, with support from the likes of Adam Freeland, James Holden, Laurent Garnier, Pete Tong, Meat Katie, James Zabiela and M.A.N.D.Y. Of late, Metric’s completed official remixes for the likes of GusGus, Black Daniel, Sharam Jey, and Jape (Metric’s driving remix of Jape’s hit “Floating” was recently featured on Adam Freeland’s Global Underground 032: Mexico City mix CD).
On the genre-smashing Whatshewants, Metric’s productions have become more assured, as have the range of influences he brings into his music. In his new grooves, stark electro, indie rock, house, and of course those famous Marine Parade snares all get dumped into the blender to produce a fresh sound not from concentrate.
