Adam Sparkles, one of the resident DJs of Philadelphia party institution Making Time, just hooked you up with a free download of his new EP!!! I didn't know there was such a fine line between brain melting & ass shaking until I heard these tracks. Remember to say thank you!
Our friends Sergio & Allen have combined their mighty powers and evolved into The SyntheTigers. Here's their latest collabo, six minutes of classic funk with a little extra junk in the trunk...

Nobody is really sure who Moontight is, but when the reclusive edit maker passed along this spacey house concoction that is one part shuffle and one part soda fountain date night, I had to post it.
Just in time for Halloween, here's volume IV of the dreaded Il Suono Scuro mix series. You must be at least 4 feet tall & 18 years of age to ride this ride! Actually, Brian Blackout put it best...

After two long years, we have finally followed up RCMP I with, you guessed it, RCMP II (hat-tip to Cerrone). Of all the music projects I do, this one is my favorite and the one I am most uncompromising about. I love RCMP like it was my first-born son.
We are incredibly proud of this record and we have a great remix EP follow up in a few months with Fifteenth, Pink Skull, Pumpkin Patch, Ayres, Laberge, Burnso, Elvis Suarez and some special secret remixers!
Listen to it all here, and please do buy a song or two or maybe the whole thing! This is how we eat!!
We have a couple of release parties planned, one in Philly, one in Pittsburgh, and then a date in Chicago at After Disco, whose edits have been featured here a few times. We'd love to see you out there!

San Francisco's Jason Darrow has been blessing the web with obscure gems and secret vinyl scores since way back in 07. Just recently he awoke my inner nerd with this monster groove:
This Saturday at Hurrah I'm proud to finally bring Baltimore's 4 Hours of Funk party to Philadelphia. Resident DJs Fleg & Excalime have been working dancefloors & rocking for break crews for a while, and lately they've been busy blessing The Charm City with top talent, such as The Beautiful Swimmers, Sharegroove & Hunee and opening for Dam-Funk. Which is to say, right now these gentlemen are on top of their game, and Saturday they're coming straight up 95 North straight to the rave cave. Check out the Zuckerbook event here.
Plus Exclaime was kind enough to hook us with an exclusive drop of this Junior Byron edit! And I poached the mixable Police edit from their excellent blog. Junior Byron - Dance To The Music (Exclaime's Edit) Mediafire | YSI | 320 kbps

We have promotional mixes to get you in the mood for some fantastic releases we have coming out in October. Pumpkin Patch's "Grooveberry Jam" EP comes out October 4th and RCMP "II" comes out October 18th. We also have a new, recently released EP from Solidisco that is sure to tickle the fancy of some DBJ readers.
DJ Pumpkin Patch burst onto the scene with his remix of RCMP's "Mustache Love" - a tune which shot to the top of the charts on Beatport in the spring of 2010. Now, P-Patch takes center stage with the "Grooveberry Jam" EP - a record chock-full of peak-time French Touch bangers that are absolutely certain to rock any party. From the swinging grooves of the title track to the hands-in-the-air banger "Doobie Bras," this is a must-have for any DJ on the scene. Fans of Fred Falke, Justice and Ed Banger records need this in their playlist.
Tracklist:
1. Grooveberry Jam
2. Doobie Bras
3. Heartless
4. Let's Dance
5. Blueberry Jam

You would not think upstate New York would produce the musical minds behind really fun summery music, but that is exactly the situation with Solidisco's Lovebeat. Buffalo's DJ D.Star and Biacco -- both top-tier club DJ's in their own right -- team up for an EP of tight disco house, combining their love of classic disco with the energy of today's club music. Yearning diva vocals, funky basslines and huge filter builds make the whole EP dancefloor gold that will keep the energy up even at peak time. Perfect for fans for Duck Sauce, Cassius, Bob Sinclair and the like.
We're really excited to have Solidisco on Young Robots can't wait to hear these jams in constant rotation. The EP is out now at all fine digital retailers.
