Video: Martin Brodin feat. Mikael Surdi – Don’t Stop The Dance

Martin Brodin  - Don’t Stop the Dance (2013)

Malmö based Martin Brodin returns with a stunning modern disco remake of Bryan Ferry’s classic. Everything in this version sounds superfresh, the bacing vocals, the electric guitar, the police syrens and Mikael Surdi’s vocal interoperation of Bryan.

The video brings together some scenes from the classic American Documentary Paris is Burning (1990) that explored New York‘s gay balls, dance music scene, gender, race and class issues of mid-80s.

avatars-000013617422-lg8lf4-t500x500

First out this week is Amann Berrouiguet who goes under moniker Amman in Music. The french, Grans-based producer sing in English over his own tracks. Sunrise is as good, as summer smelling and and as french house pop as it gets. Best I’ve heard since Phoenix, maybe better.

Bowyer Hawks - All the Way

Here we have another french connection. Actually a swedish producer called Bowyer Hawks who live half of the year in Paris. The upcoming laid back deep house release on Raw Matter recordings, France got a mile-deep bass, floating chords and a ghostly voice pondering over some very dark thoughts.
