Music Mondays: Chris Lake – Secrets in the Dark

I’ve been following Chris Lake ever since I started listening to his brilliant podcast (available on iTunes) but recently I heard the new funky track thats about to hit the streets; Secrets In the Dark

Check it out from last Friday night on Pete Tong’s Show:

I really like this track for a few reasons:
1) I love the instrumental behind it. If theres one thing thats vital for a good electronic song its excellent sounding synths and samples, Chris Lake’s are top notch.
2) The balance between the two singers is great. I’m trying to write a song with two sets of vocals right now, listening to how these sit in the mix is really helping me out.

Deux points et le remix de Nic Fanciuli

I started listening to Lusine when I heard the Two Dots Music Video shortly after hearing a remix on Pete Tong’s show.

I could not find the song anywhere for quite a while (Tong is somewhat legendary for his exclusive tracks) and decided to embark upon a remix of my own. I set it up and even worked on it in San Diego, in the airport, and in different environements to see how that affected the process.

This might be a project I pick up over the next few weeks, but in the mean time I have some great news. I found the remix. It’s standing tall, at over 8 minutes; its great.

Lusine – Two Dots video

Here is the music video to this Lusine song that I just heard. I first heard it on Pete Tong as the Nic Faniculli remix (which I cannot find ANYWHERE btw)

I can’t wait to get my hands on this song, its so sexy, and to prove it here is a sexy trig-themed music video:

Deadmau5 & Chris Lake – I Said (Michael Woods Remix)

Great new tune by Deadmau5 and Chris Lake. This was an essential new tune on Pete Tong’s show on January 8 and Deadmau5 himself opened his new years set at the o2 arena with it. Huge airplay!

To be released soon? Update: Not sure but I was able to find it.
