Pittsburgh Edit Authority

Pittsburgh Track Authority are coming at you with not one, but two new 12"s of deep n funky edits this month! First up, there's Rotating Souls 5, an eclectic mix of disco edits & electro excursions. I can testify that Revelation Edit was one of the craziest parts of their set at Hurrah in January. Then there's PTA's self released Edits Vol. 1 white label, with an driving Italo banger (I'm A Dancer - also huge at Hurrah) and a bugged out slow burner (All Night Long) perfect for laying in your sets. Jam out to the samples below and see for yourself. Pick up Rotating Souls 5 from a variety of retailers linked here and grab PTA Edits Vol. 1 from Juno.

Alien Alien

Discaire is back with some wiiiicked dark late night techno by Alien Alien. In their own words:

Hugo Sanchez and Rodion of ALIEN ALIEN (GOMMA / ESKIMO) return from a cosmic voyage out in deepest, blackest space back to Earth with a new release for DISCAIRE - THE NIGHTS EP. From their interstellar expedition the pair conjures up dark sounds submerged deep in an abandoned nightclub basement once frequented by a distant, technologically advanced civilization. 

Peep the video above & stream both tracks below. The vinyl was pressed in an edition of 250. Cop one directly from Discaire or on Juno, or download it from Juno Download.

Daft Punk Imagining

A few weeks ago, Daft Punk put out the first of two teasers ahead of their May album Random Access Memories. God damn if it wasn't funky - a really organic, warm groove. What does the rest of it sound like? Where does it go from here? For lack of a full song to listen to, I decided to imagine it for myself, just for fun - trying to meld my feeling for Daft Punk's sensibilities with my own musical tendencies.
  Over the last year or so, there have been various rumors about Daft Punk working with Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder and other classic dance music luminaries. The first snippet is no doubt Nile Rodgers, the way he dances around the chords - chunking and interpolating at once. Intimidating to say the least. As I sat down and got the most Nile-like Stratocaster tone I could make, I just couldn't quite figure out what he was doing, so I called in an expert.

 James Hart is one of my best friends going back to our days growing up in Pittsburgh, and it just so happens that he is a bit of a guitar savant himself. He is one of the lead singers and song-writers in The Harlan Twins - a sort of Progressive Americana rock outfit that is bumping up against the Pittsburgh scene's glass ceiling - the go-to local opener for Wilco inclined big venue acts.

 James was able to improve the chops and he got in the lab with Pete aka Nice Rec - a producer with credits as diverse as Wiz Khalifa and Pittsburgh Track Authority. We worked out the Rhodes electric piano lines, and just like that, we had our groove. Everything from then on out was mostly a thought experiment - melding our touches and tendencies with some respectful sketches of Daft-esque sounds and structures. The result?

I Feel It

This joint surfaced in a dollar bin recently and made me grin at the listening station. A rare instance of freestyle flavored house that aged well.
