Juice Operator – Hot & Sexy Ep [Clean House]
Se?or Stereo – Unintentional EP (The Remixes) (Incl. Treasure Fingers Mix) [Slow Roast Records]
When their debut “Unintentional EP” hit the charts this past june, the trio from Miami known as Se?or Stereo became a hot topic at the summer BBQ. All 5 songs entered the beatport top 100, and the standout “I Am The Beat feat. Louisahhh!” stayed in the top 10 indie dance charts for over a month. All of us over here at Slow Roast HQ thought it would be appropriate to have some friends and family serve up a second helping after witnessing the success of the first!
First up a tech yet funky remix of “Hot Damn!” from Nadastrom. Followed by big room house vibes on “I Am The Beat (Treasure Fingers remix)”. The third track is the immaculately produced, 90?s house influenced remix of “Unintentional”, by Vancouver’s U-Tern. Backed with a laid-back vintage disco rendition of “Hot Damn!” from Se?or Stereo member and billboard charting Gigamesh (Mike Posner “Cooler Than Me”). Next up the glitchy, IDM inspired take on I Am The Beat by Salva, and last but not least DJ Craze’s minimal breakdown of the EP’s title track Unintentional.

Nebraska – The Other Tracks EP [Smooth Agent]
Smooth Agent is very proud to present Nebraska’s Other Tracks EP. Alistair Gibbs needs no introduction. For those who have not heard of him he has released music on Down Low Records & multiple releases on Rush Hour Records. His fushion of raw detroit house mixed with disco grooves has made him a household name. This EP will certainly be no exception.
His Green Marimba track was released earlier this fall on vinyl exclusively. This has been well received by Soulphiction, Deetron, DJ Koze, Chris Carrier & Efdemin. This is certainly a tune that fuses African grooves with a Detroit thump. Think of Theo Parrish messing with some african instruments & you are only halfway there. Nebraska continues the groove with a nice spacey track Hi Ya. In a similar vein Nebraska teams up with James Mason on 88-89 in a detroit vibe. The last track “Tell Me” he goes for a more acid bassline groove.
2010 has certainly been a big year for Nebraska and we a very happy to be a part it.
Enjoy Th Music,
