      Comments Off on Music/Picks – “Prolific Premier Picks” – Podcast & Track Of The Week – Sunday 20th January

Shunning the snow, we have been rather serenading scores of superb sounds this Sunday, not least our podcast & track of the week choices, both premier productions for more reasons than one, the dynamic studio duo of Pitron & Sanna hitting our top of the tree track highs, while Zach Burns sweeps the podcast selection board, download/stream options on our weekly  picks mere image click(s) below, while we triumph in our terrific trio beneath.

 

Well what a Sunday it has been here in London, many out splendouring in the snow, while many more will have stayed out of the cold, us included, we rather having soaked up scores of sounds while compiling our first D.J. focus & our first music newsletter features of 2013. But it’s also been a day for picking out our podcast & track of the week selections, these having been propelled via our Facebook pages and now in what will become a weekly music/picks posting, we heading up each selection with images that, with a mere click, lead you to download/stream options, our track first & our podcast next, while we them triumph in the trio that make up this week’s choices.  

 

So it’s our track choice first and as you may have gathered from the image, it is the marvellous remix production from the studio partnership Pitron & Sanna that has lifted our top of the tree track trophy this week, one we have been meaning to mention for a while, although having been wrapped up in our year end music reviews which, in itself caused a chaotic queue of choices. However, given the fact that the boys released this remix three months ago, we thought it was high time we pushed some others aside for a week at least, so as to propel this prolific production, Steve & max landing on British boy band The Wanted and their track “I Found You” for this, their most recently released remix.  And having been handed the official rights to remix this track, which was first aired on national radio back in September 2012, both Steve & Max have been credited for their wonderful piece of work, across the web (including Wikipedia) and in the popular music press, this captivating club mix having risen steadily in download charts across the globe, while it is doing great guns in The States, topping the country’s Billboard chart, an awesome achievement for Messrs Pitron & Sanna, as well as an amazing accolade for The Wanted themselves. So while promoters across the capitals clubbing may not be aware of Steve & Max’s achievements abroad with this resplendent remix, we reckon they should wake up & smell the roses, as it is clear to us that this is one of many mixes that prove this dynamic duo continue to show many of their music producer counterparts a clean pair of heels, while to stream this superb sound, head to https://soundcloud.com/maxsanna/the-wanted-i-found-you-steve, or simply click on the image above, the track available for download on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/i-found-you-ep/id556382747, we polishing off this pick with the video link below.

To our podcast of the week now and for the second time this year, Zach Burns sweeping the selection board, despite the likes of Eduardo de la Torre, Hifi Sean, Elof de Neve & Chris Brogan in contention, we pretty much finding fabulous favour with Zach’s latest “House Session” podcast, which he has devoted to his second appearance for the special Scream Paris sequence of “London’s Burning” parties, one we feel Mr Burns has made his own, although other stars such as Pagano & Paul Heron have been part of previous proceedings. Indeed, this thirtieth edition of Zach’s has also resonance with us, as it was just two weeks ago that we were too treading the Scream dancefloor boards, so are aware on what an amazing outing it is and therefore why Zach has been so forthright in devoting a mix to this magnificent meet. And having been in message contact with Zach just this afternoon, as well as seeing a collection of comments from the clubs promotions team, we can confirm that our premier protégé player’s showing at Scream was another resounding success, most likely paving the way for more to come, his more progressive spin in this latest podcast production certainly suiting the Scream style of sound, which by all accounts, saw what was originally planned as a 2 ½ hour set showing ending up being 5, the Parisian party people clearly loving our Mr Burns’ barnstorming beats. And listening to the podcast we can see just why, because Zach has definitely takien progressive to a new level for him, a jovial journey from minute one to one hundred & five, the occasional vocal drops an absolute dream while, among some towering tech/tribal & progressive tunes, we find our highlight track, which has to be Nathan C’s edit of Tim Cullen & Brett Gould’s “Lovely Day”, one superbly symptomatic of this Scream smash, so a captivating compilation you should go grab without delay by heading to http://djburns.podomatic.com/ & hitting that “House Sessions 30” download button, or simply clicking on the large image above. while as a little bonus, here’s that highlight track of ours that made it big on the White Isle last summer.

So that’s our triumphant trio, Pitron, Sanna & Burns showing us what they do best, we pretty sure that it won’t be long before we find them back in these weekly pick slots, that new Steve & Max production destined for “Track Of The Week” status for sure, while with a new Pitron podcast on the cusp of completion & more to come from Mr Burns, it seems that these premier players of ours will be yet again proving, as they always do, that “Music Is The Answer!

About discomatt

The History........................................................Created in 2008 after a short period of blogging under his real name, the pseudonym, “Disco Matt”, was born on the back of a reputation for being London’s original party boy having partied and clubbed across the London gay scene since in mid 1990’s.........................................................Through his series of blogs via individual blogging pages which soon morphed into a full blown website (http://discomatt.com), Disco Matt established himself as an independent journalist come columnist who quickly gained a reputation for supporting & promoting one of the world’s most prolific clubbing scenes. He previewed, reviewed & recommended London gay clubs, as well as the diverse gay/metrosexual London club/bar culture, linking to & reviewing the scene top D.J.’s and generally covering the gay scene including international gay events....................................................Regularly reporting on the top events across the scene, Disco Matt’s reviews, over the years, developed a strong following, not just by clubbers, D.J’s, promoters, music producers & scene faces, but people far and wide that were looking for an insight to the incredible scene that was London. He also previewed upcoming events that signalled, either a major change or update of existing clubs, new ventures on the gAylist/metrosexual scene, or where he considered events that deserved more comprehensive coverage to that provided in other posts.............................................However, having pretty much reached the top of his game in his chosen specific field, due to a number of personal predicaments, challenges & changes in his life priorities, Disco Matt parked his writing and operation in February 2014. While the burning desire to continue remained, what this much needed period of inactivity did provide was the time & space to re-think & re-focus his activities on a broader spectrum of media and entertainment............................................................So, following this long two year lay-off, he built up the foundations for this diversification into the areas of film, theatre, radio & television where his reviewing, recommending & reporting was to be replicated & resurrected, also pointing his promotions through more visuals & video's linked to all these areas along with his core activities and passions ................................................................................The Present....................................After another (shorter) period of lay-off from mid 2016, a life changing event reignited his passion and early into 2017, Disco Matt has delivered on his promise for a new, more modern look to his website, shedding the old & tired skin in favour of something far more in keeping with the times and with his blogging roots. And he has waived a fond farewell to his clubbing days, this having also been ditched from his site & activity, rather now just focussing on the genres of film, theatre, radio, television, video and of course, music, in so doing, aiming to broaden his appeal to a much wider audience interested in the latest most cutting edge areas of media & entertainment.............................................................................His aim is to be highly regarded across the industry for his writing in these fields and ultimately become a full time critic in film &/or theatre.
