A great, dark, morbid, bad-vibes house set from Jesse Creed. Enjoy!

Quality tech-house from my favorite continent.

Certainly not a track with mass appeal or accessibility, I nonetheless really dig this bizarre, overdose soundtrack. Partly for its binaural qualities, and partly because Menternal is so damn weird.
Ricardo Villalobos takes an already strong song to the next level with his trademark style. Berlin minimal techno for the win!

Continuing the fine tradition of female vocals and prog house beats covering lesser-known classic songs, this is an excellent cover of the Smiths’ There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
Cheerful Scandinavian vocals by Anja deliver some very dark lyrics…

Ahhh. Another artist with a deep understanding of the craft. This one really screws with my head… peep the middle portion.

A great piece of down-tempo tech-house from the talented Frenchie.
Also grab this very fresh set:

Alright, after a long hiatus, it’s time for some freaky house tracks.
Blue Insect by El Farouki is an excellent track; distinct, punctuating, popping percussive quirky beats over top a fuzzy, ultraviolet, buzzing bassline that has a slight, bendy drugginess to it.
Unlike the previous track’s subtle drugginess, this next monster whacks you upside the head with its freaky intensity. Undisputed Truth’s remix of Procut’s Feel So Right is awesome. I first heard it on protonradio.com in an outrageously fresh mix by David Alexander, Primal Innuendo 3 (to be posted here soon). A gargantuan bassline storms in, layers upon layers of intense druggy goodness fill in the track and desperate, creepy lyrics surface. I freakin’ love this track, which I’ve been listening to for years. Five stars; flawless execution. Well done, Undisputed Truth! This track’s a monster, and a must-have.
Moving into the absurdly druggy, another favorite track of mine is Matthew Dekay and Norman Soares’s More Money, More Power. A ridiculous, clip-cloppy bouncy beat gives the track a silly feel, then duggy waves of sound wash in, swirling and somewhat ear-piercing, and a surreal vocal sample pops in and… confounds me! Quality! Truly weird, but it works.
