Introducing Alex Ryan!

2010-12-18T18:22:00.013-05:00

I stumpled upon this massive refix of Wolfgang Gartner's gem of a track "Flashback." The vocal refix brings a fresh energy and jive to the track not seen in the original. Hailing from Syracuse, New York, Alex plays out everything from house to the freshest dubs and funk, but his forte is disco house. Alex was kind enough to send me a few of his edits to share with you all, along with a

PeaceTreaty

2010-08-22T21:41:00.006-04:00

PeaceTreaty initially caught my attention by doing a pretty cool remix of Gooffee's 'Flow'. Since then they've been featured on BBC Radio 1 and were recently signed to Dim Mak for their upcoming EP... very impressive progress, especially considering the short time span. I'm still really feeling what they've put out recently - so much so that we've decided to bring them to Canada this weekend.

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing one of the most highly anticipated, up and coming producers in all of dance music, Rubix. Hailing from the Netherlands, I first got a glimpse of this man months back when his remix of Bart B More's "Romane" caught my ears. This man plays out everything from hip-hop to electronic music with a heavy side of electro house to keep you on your toes. Today,

2010-07-18T19:23:00.005-04:00

With every producer jumping on the tech/minimal house bandwagon these days, it's nice to see someone sticking to their guns and doing it well. Mix Chopin is a young producer from Toronto who's funky filter house songs make me wish it was 2007 again. While the nu-disco sound seemed to get old really fast, Mix Chopin's tracks are a breath of fresh air into the genre. I see nothing but good

Big Boi Solo Debut

2010-07-17T20:58:00.002-04:00

Big Boi's Debut solo album, 'Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty', is a solid effort filled with quality rapping and diverse production. Hopefully we'll see a similar effort from Andre 3000 in the near future.

For those of you who didn't know, our wonder boy hailing from Brooklyn, Bass Juggernaut Drop the Lime has just released his "Sex Sax EP" and boy does it live up to the hype! The original track is great, but personally I feel most of the remixes on the EP just take it to a whole new level, in particular the

As I was going through my soundcloud account today, I noticed a favorite DJ of mine, Foamo, had dropped some of his own productions on his account. I quickly scoped his productions to come across a remix he'd done some time ago for a D&B group from Norway, Future Prophecies and their track Dreadlock.

I regret never blogging this before, but Ratatat's upcoming album LP4, set to be released on June 8th, is pure electronic intelligence. This album is an experimentation with the return of that much-missed heavy electronic guitar, tribal beat drums and things that make me go 'what the fuck'... mixed in perfect precise harmony. One of my favourite tracks, Sunblocks, is just layers and layers upon

Right now this bouncy house genre is all I care to listen to, and there seems to be quality artists right through the label from The Bulgarian to the more known Hijack. I have yet to see a lot of this genre spun in

2010-03-07T17:18:00.009-05:00

This week's list a bit tough since decent music pickings were slim, but I've pulled together a list for all of you with a few pumping bangers, new dubstep out of UK, some really strange shit and even a bit of DnB.

Call It Love

2010-02-25T01:35:00.007-05:00

By: Andrew DeaconYes… I will call it love…. Love for the massive legion of Belgian producers, our latest installment: Keatch. At the young age of 25, Keatch is still growing, and based upon his releases this guy is only getting bigger. He loves working alongside fellow Belgian: Ghets Notch, who in grade 12, I thought was the shit, only to later discover he really IS the shit. Keatch loves using

In this past month, I have found it hard to come across tracks worth talking about and sharing, however, I have come across two amazing mixes done by France's "The Phantom's Revenge." that are worth including in your ipod shuffle list. These Mixes once again showcase The Phantom's Revenge's ability to produce a flawless mixtape with a great variety of party jams from various decades. Both Mixes

It held multiple birthdays, including Mansion's very own; Matt Kowall who DJ’d a birthday set alongside Deanious, and one of my best friends Julie Park!

Video! Make the Girl Dance- Kill Me

2010-02-07T22:14:00.005-05:00

After the infamous 'Baby Baby Baby' song which featured naked chicks walking down Parisienne streets, Make the Girl Dance decided to follow a similar theme with the addition of excessive swearing, jumping out of planes, gambling, strippers and snorting lines in the shape of every city they visit.All in all, this is probably what The Mansion would do if we had $30,000 and 8 days to live.MAKE THE

Trumpdisco - By: Andrew DeaconIn the past, Australia has produced great Djs such as PNAU and Cut Copy. Now comes an absolutely destructive, banger generating duo known only as Trumpdisco. Their sound is bass driven, thrash electro and their remix’s find the perfect medium between their style and those lucky enough to have their tunes remixed by such a pair.

It was a cold, cold night on Friday but that didn’t stop the party at Shallow Groove! It’s been awhile since I’ve partied there so it was good to be back. It was also my girl Anita’s 20th birthday and she was absolutely the drunkest one there. Real Talk and Karpf spun all night! It was a night to remember, and also a night forgotten by many; intoxication is a bitch. The effects of alcohol: After

WRONGBAR - JAN. 16

2010-01-19T22:10:00.010-05:00

By: Meagan Bowden This is not a typo; The Mansion is bringing the party to Wrongbar every Saturday and has dragged me with them! Not that I have to be dragged, I immediately jumped at the chance since Wrongbar is one of my fav spots, and on Saturday the party really did live up to my standards. It was quite the night. Red Foxx, Shit La Merde and Nasty Nav spun, Wrongbar was FILLED.
