Rimer London – Squaring The Triangle

dj.michael.todd — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:46:44 +0000

After his succesful EP “Intecity” that was released earlier this year, Rimer has been very busy finishing his debut album for Magnetron Music. It’s finished and Squaring The Triangle is the first single to come off it. A very deep piano-laden housetrack with Rimer’s signature Italo and electro sounds is already doing damage on the dancefloors, in different mixes. Included is the original, and a killer remix by TWR72, which is my favorite from the release. Coming soon, so keep an ear out for it!!

Hijack is known for making jacking house music with bouncy beats and funk-filled grooves. His distinct sound fuses house and techno with a variety of influences, from the funky loops of 70s disco to the boompty beats of Chicago’s shuffly house cuts.

Since 2006 Hijack, has been establishing himself as one of underground dance music’s rising stars, remixing the likes of Moby, Adam Freeland, and Magik Johnson on labels such as Skint, Underwater, Potty Mouth and his own label, Jack Union Records.

His music has been played and supported by the likes of Switch, the Crookers, Riva Starr, Kissy Sellout and Annie Mac, and is a regular feature on radio shows and dance floors the world over.

Hijack’s DJ sets are packed with unreleased tracks and re-edits and have a unique sound that has led to regular appearances at venues and festivals across Europe, the USA, Australia, and South Africa, for some of the world’s biggest venues and club brands.

Jon’s Jack Union label has featured productions from the likes of house heavyweights Switch, Trevor Loveys, and Lee Mortimer, and its original style of booming quirky house music has attracted an army of avid followers.

In the coming months Hijack and Jack Union will be releasing more music than ever, with new original EPs, remixes and DJ mixes, and continuing to move crowds at clubs and festivals worldwide.

Techy Shit – A Mix by DJ Michael Todd

I am very pleased that Gary has agreed to let me do my first blog post solo style. I am still quite the noob at this, so my first post will be simple and to the point. If you know me at all, my musical tastes change on a weekly basis. I have really been into the groovy tech house stuff, as you will see in this mix. Many of the artists here will be easily recognizable, and there will be some that are unfamiliar. Most can be found on Beatport or What People Play, so go get ‘em. Enjoy!!
