Best of the Rest is a daily feature from Dancing Astronaut that recaps the most important posts of the day as well as the stuff we didn’t get to. With the rapidity that dance music news and releases come out it’s difficult for us to hit everything — we hope BOTR serves as a catch-all. Make sure to check it out at the end of each day to ensure you don’t miss anything!

Todd Terry – Jumpin (Iban Reus Remix)

artworks-000037759827-w2tzvv-t500x500

We last checked in with Iban Reus with his ultra uptempo “Crazy Circus,” and now the resident Balearic groove master is back with a rework of the classic Todd Terry 1994 track “Jumpin.” Reus switches out Terry’s dominant hi-hats for a modern tech house drums and piano licks — the results are pretty killer.  Keep doing what you’re doing, Iban. Hope to hear your stuff at a beach club with tropical drink in hand sooner rather than later. The remix is out today on Toolroom Records.

Also, be sure to check out Iban’s January 2013 Beatport chart here.

Iban Reus – Crazy Circus (Original Mix)

Iban Reus-Crazy Circus

It’s December, and we’re all hurting a little bit for the airy summer vibes those famed Spanish isles produce in an unmatched fashion. Iban Reus, resident Balearic DJ, is out with a new track “Crazy Circus” on Toolroom that just may take you to an open air club or oceanfront cafe at sunset. Reus borrows a page straight out of funk’s book with his bass lick and keeps the groove going all the way through this crowd-pleasing tech house track. Check out the track and hit up Beatport after the break.
