Good Morning Mix: Tommie Sunshine at Pacha NYC 9/6/2013
Dance music icon Tommie Sunshine is at it again, this time taking over the decks of Pacha NYC for Jus Jack's People Party label launch. Known for not only his technical prowess and breakneck mixing skills, Sunshine's set lists are always something to behold. Including 7 unreleased and exclusive tracks from Chuckie, Martin Solveig, Laidback Luke, Calvin Harris and more, his hour and a half set at New York's most iconic nightclub blends big room basics with gritty electro house charm. Walking the line between what clubgoers expect to hear and what they need to, Tommie curates an accessible and interesting hour and a half of driving bass lines and floor shaking punches -- not to mention some classic AC/DC.
Disco Fries, Loopers, and Tommie Sunshine – Bad Boy (Original Mix) [Preview]
Two's company, three's a crowd, four's a party. NYC duo Disco Fries team up with electro house upstart Loopers and the estimable Tommie Sunshine for the release of the ultra-violent "Bad Boy." Receiving the dirty warehouse stamp of approval, the foursome's latest is grinding electro house at its finest. Nothing but in-your-face sawtooth growls throughout, "Bad Boy" represents the seedy underbelly of dance music where electro originally made its home. "Bad Boy" will be released on CR2 Records on August 19th.
Martin Solveig & The Cataracs – Hey Now (Tommie Sunshine & Live City Remix)
Dance music staple Tommie Sunshine links up with Live City to take on Martin Solveig's latest pop dance hit "Hey Now." In typical Sunshine fashion, the veteran producer warps the mix into something nearly unrecognizable if not for Solveig's chirpy vocal cues, injecting the mix with a hefty dose of brightly-colored bass lines and big room bounce. The perfect compliment to any peak time Sunday Funday pool party, Tommie and Live City's remix is a carnival ride of fun house mirrors and rubbery synthwork that transform "Hey Now" from commercial smash into a patented party hit.
Tommie Sunshine releases Ultra Music Festival 2013 set for free download
Long-haired, enigmatic, and outspoken, Tommie Sunshine has been a presence in dance music for over a decade, fostering young talent and establishing himself as a tastemaker in the industry. His Ultra Music performance on Day 2 of the first weekend - much like his Axis mix - was a showcase of countless unreleased tracks and debuts from TJR, Mt. Eden, Alvaro, Showtek, and of course, the man himself. Tommie keeps things bouncy and care-free in his hour set, delivering 14 tracks of blistering electro designed specifically for keeping energy levels high and crowds entranced. One such debut was David Silcox's remix of "Cool Without You," a rendition that leaves no room for subtlety, stripping the melody from the original and replacing it with breakneck drum fills, twisted vocals and a blaring siren-filled break.
