Conro – Boss (Original Mix)
Electro is alive and well at Casa de Conro, the up-and-coming talent on Wolfgang Gartner's Kindergarten Records. Clearly at the top of his game (and quite possibly the genre), Conro’s latest is appropriately titled “Boss” - and with good reason. Stamping out a firm foothold in the increasingly crowded space, this dance floor destroyer comes out guns blazing with a high-octane collection of acid arps and unadulterated electro funk. Designed to break ankles and slip disks, “Boss,” is a must have addition to any electro faithfuls collection of cuts and is a refreshing reminder that electro house isn't dead, it's just hardly ever done this well.
Tony Romera – Go Nuts (Original Mix)
Festival house stand out Tony Romera joins the Kindergarten Records family with his latest big room output "Go Nuts." Appropriately titled, Romera harnesses the power of throwback electro house to mix up a cocktail of rowdy synth work and space-age progressions. Framed by child-like sample selection and high-pitched builds, Romera relentlessly builds and releases festival-sized synthesis delivered with the upcoming pool party season in mind. This is thrash music, pure and simple.
Wolfgang Gartner previews upcoming original 'Piranha'
It's a known fact that anything coming out of Wolfgang Gartner's studio is always guaranteed to assume a minimal level of excellence. The "Illmerica" producer has made it quite clear that rather than playing the game and producing uninspired, boiler plate festival fodder, he prefers to stick to his roots, approaching every production with a meticulous, nearly obsessive compulsive, attention to detail. Following up his collaboration alongside electro-peer Tommy Trash on "Hounds of Hell," Gartner primes his next solo output "Piranha" for global release. Clocking in at just 38 seconds, this preview is less of a teaser and more akin to waking up from a dream just as the best part starts, but, for what it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in budding anticipation.
SAVOY ft. Bright Lights – I Dare You (Original Mix)
Groundbreaking live electro outfit, SAVOY, team up with Bright Lights on their latest Kindergarten Recordings release, "I Dare You." In typical SAVOY fashion, the group infuses their rock roots with gritty electro synthwork, complementing hard rock drum sections with frigid synth stabs and a blistering electro house break. An anthemic, alt-rock vocal line from Bright Lights rounds out the offering with siren-like wails - creating the perfect blend of rock and electronica.
Dancing Astronaut Exclusive: Wolfgang Gartner takes a time machine back to the 90s with this never before released mix
Earlier this month Wolfgang Gartner took a nostalgic trip back to the 90s on his Kindergarten Radio show. Fans were fascinated by the hour-long stroll through the funk-filled 90s dance scene, begging the electro house mastermind to release it to the world. There is something appealing about early 90s dance that is hard to define. Maybe it's the no frills honesty of it or the charm of stripped down synthesis and groove-laden breaks that grabs us and refuses to let go - whatever it is - this mix provides a hairspray and parachute pants history lesson in 90s dance music.
Popeska ft. Luciana – The New Kings (Original Mix)
Kindergarten Records newcomer and Wolfgang Gartner protege, Popeska, returns with his latest original since September's "Karmameter." Joined by dance music siren Luciana, the young producer utilizes a scintillating top line melody to push Luciana's sultry vocal cuts to the forefront of the production. Understated electro elements and a driving kick allow the vocals to breathe, framing them with charming piano rolls reminiscent of some of electro house's most prominent stars. His second original release under his belt, Popeska has done well to establish himself as a promising young hopeful in 2013's freshman class, representing the Kindergarten Records imprint with style.
