Moon Boots - "C.Y.S."
The unique style of Chicago producer Moon Boots blends 90's r&b with house and funk in a way that makes for some undeniably fun, blissful tracks. The French Express label member's latest track, "C.Y.S." samples Total's 1995 hit "Can't You See" featuring The Notorious B.I.G., using the soulful vocals to build a killer hook around a smooth deep house tune with infectious chords and a characteristically lively rhythm. Download the track below.



Audion - "Sky (Daniel Avery Remix)"
UK producer Daniel Avery released the stellar, Drone Logic, last year, a lush record that used Detroit Techno influences to create a masterful and hypnotic sound. His remix of Audion's "Sky" is a murky, driving track with powerful percussion and a deep bass line. Listen below and check out the single's appropriately cerebral artwork.



Karma Kid - "Like I'm On Fire (Behling & Simpson)"
Bristol duo Behling & Simpson's smooth house rework of fellow British artist Karma Kid's "Like I'm On Fire" is a more straightforward, club-oriented take on the original. With crisp bass and intense drums, the vocals fade in and out throughout the track driven by a tight hi-hat groove. Listen below.        



Justin Timberlake - "Let The Groove Get In (Alex Burkat's Social Network Edit)" 
Brooklyn based producer Alex Burkat has released tracks for house label 100% Silk and Party/label Mister Saturday Night for which he released his first single "Shower Scene," a track that made its' way onto John Talabot's incredibe DJ Kicks mix last year. The recently shared "Let The Groove Get In" is a sleek edit of the Justin Timberlake track with an impressive breakdown and well crafted vocal hook.

We're now less than two months away from the 12th incarnation of Camp Bisco. While much has been written of this year's headliners (full lineup here), we'll be spending the time from now until July 11th highlighting some of the up and comers on the bill. If you weren't worried about scheduling conflicts before, be prepared to face some tough choices.

With all the hemming and hawing over the new Daft Punk album, it seems only appropriate that we kick things off with a disco act. Chicago based producer Pete Dougherty, a.k.a. Moon Boots, has spent the past few years pumping out upbeat disco jams for Dallas based blog turned House label French Express (yes, that Dallas). His career received a recent boost after his remix of Bondax's "Gold" was featured on The Magician's Magic Tape Thirty. His approach is very mature, like the slick soundtrack to a suit & tie nightclub you shouldn't be allowed in, yet fun enough to remain unpretentious. Check out his newly released single "Love Strong" below, and be sure to catch his set at this year's Camp. Suit & tie not required.
