It’s time for inthemix podcast session 80; yes, we’ve reach another momentous milestone! Of course, once again we’ve searched high and low to compile our selection of the freshest new dance music around. We speak with fast rising Canadian prog house type Adam K. Also featured, however, the latest releases from The Juan Maclean, Tocadisco and Steve Angello, Art vs Science, The Temper Trap, Bass Kleph and more!

Feature artist

Adam K – You’re Not Alone
Last year Ministry of Sound released a curious little compilation that turned a few heads. It inspired a few heated conversations, of course, but it also captured a moment in time in terms of what was happening in clubs. ‘Progression’ chronicled the dawn of a new breed of progressive house, reinvigorated, more diverse and harder to define than ever. Canada production whiz Adam K is a name that’s firmly entrenched in this new wave of progressive music, so it’s little surprise he was hit up to mix the second in the series. Touring Australia in April and May to launch the CD, we caught up with Adam to speak about his ‘Progression’ mix and thoughts on dance music in 2009.

Bass Kleph feat. Stella MC – $pend My Money
It’s no secret we’re a fan of Sydney based producer Bass Kleph, and his latest track – which features Stella MC – is getting a whole lot of interest lately. It’s called ‘$pend My Money’, and it’s riding high on the ARIA Club Charts. Be sure to check out Bass Kleph on tour over the coming months if you’d like to hear it live.

Tocadisco – Da Fuckin’ Noize (Steve Angello Remix)
Tocadisco toured Australia just a few months back as part of the Future Music Festival, and now his first release for 2009 will see the light of day on German label Superstar Entertainment. Called ‘Da Fuckin Noize’, Tocadisco has called in some big favours for the remix with Swedish House Mafia don Steve Angello putting together this slow bubbling and understated techy interpretation.

Art vs Science – Parlez-Vous Francais
Sydney three-piece Art vs Science are in the midst of their first ever headline tour of Australia throughout May, and it’s proudly presented by inthemix. It’s been a swift rise to prominence for the boys, having formed only a little over 12 months ago, but they’ve already scored some pretty major bookings, including Splendour in the Grass, Parklife, Good Vibrations and the Falls Festival.

Hey Today! – If I Was Wonderman
New on the Bang Gang 12s Inches label, this time they’ve cast the net a little wider with a release from German duo Hey Today, who hail from Hamburg. Called ‘If I Was Wonderman’, it follows their debut on French label Kitsune in 2008 as well as remix work for Digitalism, Zombie Nation and even our own Shazam. Be sure to check the full release which features remixes from Van She Tech and Bobmo!

Temper Trap – Science of Fear (Mistabishi Remix)
With their long awaited debut album due for release next month, the stage is well and truly set for Melbourne band the Temper Trap to start out on their path towards global domination. Big things are expected from the album, with the band having already relocated to Europe for a summer of marquee festival appearances. Their latest single is ‘Science Of Fear’, and here it gets a tasty drum & bass rework from Hospital Records’ Mistabishi.
