Villains are back baby!! They easily have the most thunderous and violent thumps in the clubs. Plenty of imitators, but only one true Villains.

French house has taken a back seat so far this year, but not for fault of not trying. Just has been overshadowed by the other many bright spots so far this year (mind giving up some of that spotlight Royksopp?). But The Exo is an outfit out of Paris that more than makes up for it with their thumps.

I posted this earlier last month, but then it wasn't yet available for download. Now we've got the 320 kbs thumpin' ass version that hurts my insides. Fuck you Franz Ferdinand and your post-punk cuteness. Zodiac Cartel just pwn'd you.

No post of epic-esque proportions would be complete without a little Disco Villains. Louie Fresco and co. slaughtered a childhood favorite in such a way that I'll never be able to listen to the original again. Thanks a lot DV (tic).

Something Wrong has been a consistent member of the old inbox. The Bay Area producer, who is one-half part of NONEWYORK, is quickly rising up my charts as the next emerging blog artist.

The Mysterious Zodiac Cartel
I guess being an ace producer hiding behind an unknown moniker is the cool thing to do nowadays (e.g. Fake Blood), and Zodiac Cartel fits the same mold of producing and remixing material so fresh, twisted and tech'd out that the world's house elite cant help but spin them.
Even with chart success and approval from industry giants, Zodiac Cartel has for the most part managed to keep a low profile, avoid press pics, interviews, and DJ appearances. Whatever he decides to do in the PR department is fine with me, so long as he keeps on dropping house gems like below. His "Rave Is King" remix isn't even released yet (hence the soundcloud player teaser)... but dont let the word 'taster' fool you, these are great examples of how good Zodiac Cartel can ignite a crowd, and should be enough for you to you sign up for a beatport account and buy some ish.
