Artist Spotlight: Adventure Club

These guys got their start with production just last year and their stable of jams has become quite impressive.  They have a calm style to their dubstep, almost peaceful in spite of their uber-wobbly basslines.  Their favorite songs to remix are indie, which adds to their unique, addictive style.  I love dropping in one of their songs to transition out of some hip-hop when I’m spinning.  They’ve been blowing up Hype Machine and just set off on tour.  These guys are another one to watch and impress me with each new song they’re turning out almost every other week.  MyShuffle approved, here are my favorites:

Cherry Coke EP

Artist Spotlight: Cherry Coke

Last fall, an Avicii song popped up on the internet titled “Three Chord Revolution.”  A few months later another Avicii jam called “The New Day (2012 Edit)” came out.  Sure enough, like another falsified Daft Punk song, these songs were not Avicii.  The practically unknown Polish producer Cherry Coke claims this mistaken praise.

This progressive house artist has been making clubby house anthems since 2009.  His mastered works which number over 40 remixes and original songs have Avicii’s distinctive uplifting choruses and synthy builds with a decidedly more electro drop akin to Alesso.  Unlike these club house greats, you won’t find Cherry Coke’s songs posted all over YouTube and Zippyshare.  Recent hits like “Milky Way” and “Take It To The Top” that earned the Avicii mislabels above and the latter a spot on Avicii’s radio show Levels above have turned some ears.  He has also announced an upcoming EP with label TUFFEM UP! records.  The albums artwork is pictured above and the release date is yet to be announced.

Finding his MP3′s took me deeper than your typical Google search and quickly proved everything he touches is gold.  Today’s MyShuffle collection is my selection of the best of his best.  Let me be the first to say, all comparisons aside, Cherry Coke is a great artist you’ll be hearing a lot more about soon.

Cherry also put out what is possibly my favorite song of his to date just a few days ago on his SoundCloud.  Check it out:

Steve Angello @ Congress 11-26-11

Steve Angello SIZE MATTERS @ Congress Theater 11/26/11

My next backlogged collection is from Steve Angello’s 2011 live show at Congress Theater in Chicago during his SIZE MATTERS tour with Max Vangeli & Angello’s younger brother, AN21.  The show was one of the best I went to this year and among my top 3 all time.  I’m typically partial to heavy electro and hard house for personal listening, but this concert gave me an intense appreciation for a lighter house style; the clubby progressive house styles Angello and Swedish House Mafia are known for.  Within a week following the Thanksgiving break show, I had added 2 gigs of music to my collection including a majority from the show’s setlist and pieces from artists like Axwell, Alesso, Hardwell, Dirty South, Tommy Trash, and Thomas Gold who I had seen for the first time earlier that break.  This collection is a must have in your collection and much more than a live setlist.  And remember EDM fans, MyShuffle is greater than yours…
