There were quite a few beautiful disco tracks this month, good to see it’s coming back and that deep house is not everything (although it’s always nice to have some). Maybe less exclusives than usual, but it’s the journey that matters. Hope this takes you away from reality for an hour.
Love,

Courtesy of dFm and Just Chill we have yet another simply fantastic mix from Joshua Legg, aka Goldroom. The kid is simply sensational when it comes to song selection, and I cannot wait to see him in NYC at Santos Party House this Thursday night. Make sure to listen in full, pay attention to the tracklist (it’s all gold), and take notes. This music is the foundation of fraiche. Funky beats, chill vibes, and warm tones. It’s spring baby. Check out some brief words from the man himself:
“When I make a mix I try and tell a story. These aren’t the newest or coolest songs on the block, and you probably wont hear me DJing most of them. But they’re all some of my personal favorite songs right now, and if I did things right, this will soundtrack some sort of epic drive that you take in the near future. I’m really happy with this one, and I hope I can help take you guys into spring right alongside me.”

Ladies and gents, babies and bros, how we doin? It’s that time again. Time to get nice and funkay. Whether you like that tropical nu disco flavor or that techy shit, we have you covered. What if you prefer those deep house vibes? Well we got that too. This one is the last of 2012 so you know it’s gotta be big. Let’s dance people.

Here we have a mix recommended to me by Joey Chicago. This bro, Milty Evans has some serious underground, funky fraiche swag if ya ask me. Listen. You’ll feel it. This is a live recorded mix from Chitown. Great house scene. Respect. Can’t find the tracklist…sorry bout it.
Awhhhh yea, we movin’ it on some new Zimmer shit. I get deep, I get, I get, I get deepa.
Not sure what to call this…but it’s fraiche nonetheless. The original was a top 25 song on the pop charts and for good reason. Sooooo damn catchy. Love me some acoustic.
“I don’t wanna hurt no more…I just want someone to love me.” If you don’t feel that way sometimes, you’re not human. Patrick Podage and Three Piece Suit speak the truth.
I will leave you with this. TJR had a big 2013. What a way to end it. Can you say NYE?
Would have done more but…as you know…it’s party time. Cheers!
We’re back with another edition of “Funky Fraiche Friday” kids. Been kinda busy lately, so this one is gonna be fairly compact. I have a couple mixes for you that have really been helping with my patience while in excel all week, and I have also included a select few tracks that are simply essential. Have a good weekend and keep it fraiche.
To start it off we have a free download from Jaytech. It’s oh sooooo delicious. It will most definitely be on the playlist for tonight. Count on it NYC.
Sharam Jey continues to blow my mind. Track by track, his forthcoming album, “Bunny Tiger,” is shaping up to be a masterpiece. A ton of original stuff like this one. This will definitely be one of those times where you want every track. Dude is a g…for genius.
Bondax is one duo who always does it right. Productions are tiiiiight and mixes are spot on. Check out their free mix for Fader Magazine. It features a ton of unreleased stuff. Gotta respect that about them.
Tracklist:
Bondax – Wet Summer [unreleased]
Giraffage – Moments [self release]
Transmission Collective – Lex [Transmission Audio Recordings]
Maribou State – Summerfolds [Southern Fried]

Can’t express how much I love this mix. Listened to it twice already today. So smooth…dare I say silky…But yea, sorry, no tracklist till Sunday…oh well. Sometimes it’s fun to do some research for yourself. Therapeutic really. Go to his Facebook this Sunday for the full tracklist, and while your there, show Zimmer some love.
Everyone can agree with this statement…The Knocks are 100% cash money in pretty much every way. And the intro to this mix…might be the best thing I have ever heard. Ever. And the mix as a whole is the best mix I have heard from the NYC duo in some time.

Another fraiche download for you honkies. This time from the disco-wiz, Zimmer. We rep this dude pretty hard here at AYNE, and for good reason. He’s got the Midas touch when it comes to bringing you back to the good old days of afro picks and roller skates. Annnnd download.
(Anyone else notice the dreamy synth sample he uses? You can hear it by itself at the end of the song.. Can’t remember what song that is – Nas or Common?)
Verdict: the sample is from “Hero” by Nas – thanks sshaffer10

Here we have two very different but equally solid remixes from Louis La Roche that will make you want to get rowdy. Our advice…don’t think about it. Do it.
Classixx on the original called “Stranger Love.” RAC on the remix. Simply essential. The vocals are angelic…in an indie way (whatever that means)…the beats are bouncy, and the groove is impecable.
Here is a naughty tech house remix from Tradelove. It’s dirty but ooooh so good.
Taken you a bit deeper on these next two. First one is a remix of Jean Winner’s “Alive And Kicking” from Zimmer. So sensual. Diggin’ this hard.
When Pete Tong puts out music…you listen. Check out this Hot Since 82 dub mix of his track “Dawn” featuring S.Y.F. Soooo deep, so funky.
Lastly, here is one of my favorite mixes of the past month. Defected only hosts the best DJs, and Miguel Campbell is just that. Top tier. His shit is just hot. What can you say?
