Tech House Selection_Number4 (10-09-09)

Bassey, clanky, sweaty, chunked-up, chopped down, screwed, ripped, strapped, Tech jams. You know how its done here; NO B.S. Just real, good, technical house music. You can find all these tunes and millions others over at Beatport, so get on that. Oh and can you say '300,000'? We can't thank you enough for the support and love, hopefully you will continue to follow us as we make our climb to the half million mark!

word to it,

Ivan

Channel X - Mosquito (Original Mix)

Wasting no time with an intro track, this ones plain and simple. Heavy beats, and heavy bass; laden with strange hits, and croaking/cracking samples. Random whistles and voices here and there. Way crispy Tech.

Reshuffle - The Uppershelf (Original Mix)

Big, big track by Reshuffle here. A total of 10:00 play time but is in no way boring. This track takes you on a hard techno ride through huge breaks, builds, long rhythms of strange noises and synth stabs. Also note the great hi-hats.

Momma's Boy - Maldito Nino (Original Mix)

I posted the Zulu Yankee remix of this track for WW, so if you enjoyed that, you gotta get this. Momma's boy goes over the top with south american voice and percussion samples, perfectly placed throughout this amazing track. High energy club, jazzy, groovy, Tech house.

Posh 111 - Nendumit (Original Mix)

Deep stuff to finish off this segment. Posh's repeating LFO'ed synth samples mesmerize you into a state of well being. Great stuff.

Links: Posh 111, Momma's Boy, Reshuffle, Channel X.

Tech House Selection_Number3 (10-02-09)

What's good everyone? Got some tunes to make any situation THAT much better, give em a quick look. Starting off with some outta control Funkagenda and Mark Knight, with a track called 'Flauta Magica'. It features amazing chanting voices and South American flute samples, a genius composition. Next up we're moving onto some DJ T & Ramon Tapia, both of whom are equally buttery. Lastly, we're gonna be ending with a deeper and more melodic tune from Burnski. Your gunna love all of them, I guarantee it. With how much great music we've been posting here, Beatport is getting a bit lonely, so go visit it.

Besides all this, drink and be merry for it is the weekend! See you next week with my track for the infamous, MildMonday! Oh and I thought Id leave you with a poem written by a genius..

~Ivan

Fill with mingled cream and amber,

I will drain that glass again!

Such hiallrious visions clamber

Through the chaimbers of my brain.

Qaintest thoughts - queerest fancies,

Come to life and fade away.

What care I how time advances,

For I am drinking ale today!

-Edgar Allen Poe

Music:

Mark Knight & Funkagenda - Flauta Magica (Original Mix)

A great South American feel to this one. Intense tribal chant like voices, with little flute sample putting this one over the top.. XL Tech house indeed

Dj T- Shine On (Dj T's Twisted Re-Work)

Minimal bass line, great shakers and bells of some sort. After a bit of grooving a chopped voice along with an eerie synth begining to dominate the track. Nice sounds to this one, a bit creepy too, just in time for Halloween

Hermanez and Ramon Tapia - Organo Scuro (Original Mix)

Deeper house here with Hermanez and Ramon Tapia. Big synth basses, amazing jazzy synth samples, the whole lot. A whole lot of background noise and bouncy hit and bubble samples, with the proper addition of some alien voices in the middle just to keep your attention. Really diggin' this!

Burnski - Mud and Mouse (Original Mix)

Two sharp synth riffs on repeat through this track, rendering it to be quite the talented bit.
Burnski really does a lot with just these two samples, 'keepin it simple', just for us.

Minimal House Selection_Number3 (09-29-09)

Here at MildWild we claim 'keeping it simple' is what we do best. Therefore we should also claim Minimal as our top subject. Keeping it moving with just the bare essentials; drums, bass, and masterful sampling. These tracks are just that. Some high-grade minimal steaks for all you hungry suckas. Enjoy the free lunch then head to Beatport if your still 'hungry', for a heartier meal. I cant force feed you all your music.

*Also just a note: If you enjoy this segment, it will be posted every Tuesday, followed by my Tech Selections, (which get a little more 'maximal') featured every Friday. Otherwise see ya tomorrow for wildwednesday.

Dragosh - Pe Fuga (Original Mix)

Startin off with some strong, live drums, which continue through this entire track. The bass comes in hard, soon followed by small voice samples floating around everwhere. Keyboard samples here and there, keeping you entertained through the the break. All Dragosh's sounds come in and out when it wants to. This music follows no ones rules. Which it shouldn't.

Tom Ellis - The Writers Story (Original Mix)

Tom Ellis doesn't disappoint in this one. A nice easy minimal tune with a downtempo feel, but huge driving bass and percussion. Its hard not to just bob ya head to this one. 'The Writers Story' was released as part of a compilation Ep with Tom Ellis and Leif called 'Tone' EP. An amazing amount of time must have gone into working on this track, and it was well worth it.

Donk Boys - Ladies Bras (Original Mix)

Finishing off more on the Techier side of things with this wonderful piece from our good friends, The 'Donk Boys'. Amazing organ and voice samples, slamming kick and bassline; simple yet much noise floating around. This track was featured on their 'Sucker Punch' Ep and was a huge success, sitting on a lot of important top tens over this summer.

Tech House Selection_Number2 (9-24-09)

Yes! Im back with some more absolutely jackin' Tech tunes for you today. Might I add these tunes are sorted out of 20 or 30 'mediocre' tracks, and only the ripest tunes are presented to you. Therefore saving you the trouble of picking the dope from the average. Oh and if you havent heard, Raekwon, 'The Chef', who's a big part of the 'Wu Tang Clan' has just released a new album. It just so happens to be the best rap album of the last few years. I know its off genre but no less important. Throw yah W's up.

Okay, enough babble. On with the House music!

2000 and One - Wan Poku Moro (Onur Ozer Remix)

Yes, I know I posted a track from 2000 and One earlier this week, but this remix album 'Heritage' is just too good to put down. And if I was to not share this, I would feel guilty. Theres no need to speak of this track outside of the vocal, which is funky sampling at its finest, masterfully placed throughout. Otherwise it's just a groovy tech track that needs to be in your collection.

Alex Young - Reminimalized (Original Mix)

Moving into some more upbeat. Crisp turtle shell hits, followed by a wind synth that takes this track to the next level. Perfect noise control and air movement, great for listening and/or shaking your ass to. Oh and, Alex Young if you didn't already know, is the main man and his link is at the bottom of the page.

Milton Channels, Pablo Basel, Sebastian Reza, & Andrea Saenz - Trip (Benny Royal Remix)

Nice track to close this segment. Epic, progressive, chords and sounds, beautiful breakdowns of science, and huge builds of delayed chords. J.P, This ones for you man. Hella love up to that Bay Area.

Links: Milton Channels, Pablo Basel, Andrea Saenz, Benny Royal, Alex Young, Onur Ozer.

Tech House Selection_Number1 (9-17-09)

Some 'out of this world' Tech sounds to make your ear drums wet. Two wilder tunes, one from Dirtybird's mastermind producer, Worthy; and a smashing remix by Tech Gods, Format: B. After your done sweatin those off, third is a cooling off track that's a bit milder, but no less amazing, produced by a new found favorite of mine, Shades of Grey! All these guys are well on their way to making a living off of music production, so make sure to support them on this journey by downloading their tunes over at Beatport! From all of us here at MW, Enjoy your weekend by saluting some great beer with friends to life, love, and music!

You know we will.

Worthy & DWL - Tonga (Original Mix)

Too much going on to even start writing about. Absolutely phenomenal sounds: Pitch bending bleeps and clicks, chunky bass, cracking claps, the whole works. As cliché as this sounds, my tech track of the week by far

Florian Mendil - Blast (Format B Remix)

Format B kills it in this remix of an already amazing track! Huge air movements and deep sub bass keep this track moving till break, which is equally entertaining.. Grab this one

Shades of Grey - Jack the Freak (Original Mix)

A bit mellow but still lined with giant bass. Great voice and instrument samples laid over a funky-fresh yet surprisingly simple beat. If you have yet to know about Shades of Grey, get this track and go check out more of their work over at Beatport, or their myspace via the link below
