Hot Natured: ‘Reverse Skydiving’

Following the huge 2012 hit ‘Benediction,’ Hot Natured is keeping up with their signature mix of infectious deep house beats and pop vocals through the release of their new single ‘Reverse Skydiving,’ which features vocals by the beautiful L.A. based singer Anabel Englund. This is a slightly more approachable track than ‘Benediction,’ with a great potential for becoming an interesting radio hit. On another note, Hot Natured has recently remixed Phoenix’s ‘Entertainment,’ and it’s worth checking it out. It seems like we will be hearing a lot more from the British supergroup in the months to come.

Shit Robot: ‘Feels Real’

DFA Records is on a roll with their most recent released. Their newest track by Irish producer Sh*t Robot, titled ‘Feels Real,’ is a massive one that blends Bee Gees-like falsetto vocals, a Lil Louis-flavored energetic bass and gospel inspired keyboards. It might just be impossible to keep still to this one on the dancefloor.

Sébastien Tellier feat. Caroline Polachek: ‘In The Cew of Tea Time’

Aside from being one of our all-time favorite artists, Sébastien Tellier has a special place in our hearts when it comes to his ability to combine powerful productions with beautiful visual experiences. His extremely work-unfriendly video for 2012′s single ‘Cochon Ville’ was impactful and did a great job showcasing the sexual appeal of disco music. After touring the US in 2009 with Chairlift as the opening act, Tellier expressed his wish to collaborate with the Brooklyn band’s lead singer Caroline Polachek. Four years later, they finally released ‘In The Cew of Tea Time,’ a slow-ish but grand electropop work that naturally accompanies another graphic and masterfully art directed video. Polachek’s sweet whispered vocals are a great match for Tellier’s unique pitch and we’re loving this track even more with every listen.

Boris Dlugosch feat. Róisín Murphy: ‘Look Around You’

For a while, we were aware that a new Róisín Murphy + Boris Dlugosch collaboration was in the works, but little did we know that the new song would be available for our listening pleasure so shortly. The track, ‘Look Around You,’ is everything we hoped for: stylish, sexy and lush house music with a strong pop appeal. This is not the first collaboration between the Irish disco diva and German producer, and judging by the success of their tracks, it is unlikely this will be the last time the two work together. Murphy is rumored to have further collaborations in the works with producers like Luca C & Brigante and Solumun.

Kraak & Smaak: ‘The Future is Yours (Tom Trago Remix)’

After a massive 2012, headlining UK and European festivals with a live band and releasing the hit ‘Hold Back Love’, Kraak & Smaak are back with a new single called ‘The Future is Yours’. They’ve teamed up again with UK crooner Best Westbeech, who provided vocals for their 2008 release ‘Squeeze Me’. Together Kraak and Smaak have assembled a rich, soulful house track that is primed for the dancefloor.

Remixes of ‘The Future is Yours’ will be released on Beatport on March 15th, including a slick edit from Dutch producer Tom Trago. Trago’s edit strips down the original song into a sexy and moody deep house cut with simple drum machines, extended vocals and dramatic breaks.
