One to watch: The Immigrant

Writer: Kid's Table

Artist: The Immigrant (Aus)

Title: Summer of Love (She Said)

Label: OneLove Recordings

Following in the footsteps of Australian Indie electronic artists such as: Cut Copy, Empire of The Sun and The Presets, is emerging talent 'The Immigrant'.

Already with huge support from musical giant Tiesto on the epic Angger Dimas remix, this mysterious musical nomad has made his mark on this European Summer (Tiesto in Atlantic City):

After the impressive impact with his debut single: 'Through The Wire', which included airplay by leading national broadcaster Triple J, The Immigrant returns once again with vocalist Danny Ross, on 'Summer Of Love (She Said).' Part post electro, part late night indie shindig sing-a-long, all put together with an understated confidence showing great production maturity in on so young.

The A list remix package holds high, now with the Polyfonik boys string-laden gem alongside Australian sensation Tommy Trash giving his own electro-house work over to smash dancefloors. Not forgetting the outstanding original and THAT Angger Dimas remix.

Tour Dates:

July
Sat 2nd - River Sessions, Mackay
Sat 16th - Chinese Laundry, Sydney
Fri 22nd - Fridays @ Academy, Canberra
Sat 30th - Superdisco @ The Prince, Melbourne

August
Thurs 4th - One Five One, Wollongong
Sat 6th - Fampire, Brisbane

May Fantastic Four

#1 Like This (Audiojack Remix) - Kevin Knapp Download

Label: Leftroom Limited 

Genre: Tech House

'Like This' is Kevin Knapps EP on the Leftroom Limited label. Audiojack is definitely one of the best produces of this funky style tech house. The comeback after the break is brilliant, with clever delayed vocals and piano synthesisers that scream funk.

#2 Hyperion (Sebastien Leger Remix) - Siwell Download

Label: Mistakes Music

Genre: Techno

'Hyperion' is part of Siwell's debut EP on Mistakes Music, alongside another track called 'Melting Pot'. Sebastien Leger delivers yet another amazing remix on his label, with a crisp techno baseline and groovy synth notes.

#3 Go Get It (Original Mix) - Hermanez Download

Label: Monique Musique

Genre: Tech House

Just a nice underground tech house groove here, with the distinct sound of Hermanez. The percussion really makes this track, with lively snare and hat hits, and a rumbling baseline that pulls it nicely together. 

#4 Agent Minimal (Original Mix) - Louie Cut Download

Label: PISO Records

Genre: Minimal

Minimal James Bond Theme? Yes Please. Composing the Bond them from scratch and using it as a drop throughout the track, it also has that sweet generic minimalistic baseline and percussion pops, fixed with a trombone here and there.
