Looking for some funk, some soul, more bounce by the ounce? Off Da Clock has you covered. Disco house that will put on grin on your face and heat in your new shoes, this is the solo project of Texas based Chris Cortinas. His work was premiered on Go Go Bizkitt’s Just For You Vol. 2 mixtape with a smooth and highly addicting track called Boogie News, and recently he released two more tracks, available for free.
Trigger Happy, damn what a groove. An undeniably funky bass line with a very addicting sample that just seems to bounce along the beat, and you’ll be doing the same.
Turn’n Me On is a really cool jam with 8-bit-like sounds and high pitched vocal sample over a growling bass line. Club mover? You know this.
While Chris isn’t getting down as Off Da Clock he is also one half of Late Night Hustle and one third of Funkstruk. Be sure to follow all of these outfits, I’ll leave you with the Boogie News.

People, let’s go back in time. Let’s follow Yeah!/Dish Records back to Prom Night, the year 1984. The stage is set:
“Buffalo, NY, 1984.
Roses are red, tuxedos are pink and Jimmy’s new Cadillac is black.
Tonight is Prom Night, tonight everything is possible.
As he parks nervously outside Brenda’s house, just like a soldier trying to find the bravery to step on the battlefield, his shaking hands grab a bottle of vodka from the glove compartment. Before getting out of the car, Jimmy adds the final touch to his masterplan, his dad’s aftershave.
The rest is History: tonight, Jimmy will become a Man…”
With absolutely stellar performances by all contributors, this is definitely a compilation you will want. No, no, put your Visa away, this collection is free so download it now and good luck, may all the Jimmy’s out there get lucky on their Prom Night.

Drives. Those long ones with your favourite person next to you, windows down, volume up. Nu disco and it’s kin genres have a way of transforming these situations. Your vision becomes tunneled, objects pass by with ethereal smoothness, the vehicle feels like it can float over the asphalt path. Nothing is said, but everything is shared, it doesn’t matter where you’re headed because on drives like these, the journey is the destination. Time for some music fit for just that.
I gotta say it’s been nothing but a delight following Josh Legg’s career as Goldroom. Each production has that element that draws you right in and makes you feel like you already knew the song before you heard it, quite simply its music that’s easy to listen to. His latest original, Fifteen, features Australian singer Chela on the vocals and hit the number one spot on Hype on the day of its release.
Last year Polish band Kamp! released the widely praised single Cairo, with it and the Moullinex remix making a lot of peoples ‘best of’ lists. Lending their style to Twilite’s I Am The Sun, the group gives us this fantastic sun drenched production. Dropping this Monday on Isound/Ampersand Records.
I first heard of French producer Oxford when he was announced winner of the Aquarium remix competition for Housse De Racket. An amazing synth led sound, his profile is topped with feel good vibes ready to theme the summer season. Today we’re enjoying his latest work, a free download by the name of Flashlight.
Wow. This latest track from German producer Kelek is stunning. An overall great nu disco tune and you’ll notice a very unexpected element around 1:45. Steel drums show up party to add that extra bit of tropical sunshine to the track, as refreshing as dropping that first cut slice of lime into your rum and water. Be sure to follow him and you can download Alaska here.
Emeron & Fox will carry you through the last mile of your trip, softly drawing to a stop on organ sounds, bassy synth lead and dreamy vocals. The Brooklyn based outfit will also be releasing a new extended play on Monday called Dopecity, preview it here and be sure to give them a follow.
Hope you had sun today.

What do you get when ethereal sounding synth leads collide with classic funky bass grooves? I haven’t quite figured it out, but I’m pretty sure you get this awesome new jam by Brooklyn-based producer Aimes. This indie dance gem provides us with some chill Nu Disco vibes, while still managing to keep the energy high, and killer vocals with a tastefully executed pop music feel. I also want to take note of how dope Chordashian’s remix of this track is. Perfect music for the beautiful Spring weather happening lately, enjoy friends!

Inspired by Gonzo’s Disco’s Payback reboots, DJ Tyson set his sights on Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe and gave it one damn impressive, funked out reboot. Ultra bouncy bass line, 70′s horns and modern pop vocals, this is dance floor fuel that you’re gonna need.
Looking for a copy of this? Tyson just enabled the download, give his fb page a like and it’s all yours.
