As we begin to approach the weekend, here is a lovely mix from Berlin DJ and producer Eva Be. Filled with deep, beautiful and sexy house rhythms, this selection will put you in the right state of mind as you decide on your weekend endeavers.

Here is another great classic house remix of the Shiny Objects tune “Higher Ground” by Maxxi Soundsystem. The vocals sit really well on the rework as it helps to exude warm emotions. The original Shiny Objects version was released last month on the “Smoke n Mirrors Miami” compilation. You can still purchase the album on Beatport.

BassLaced Present: Digital Soundboy Summer Boat Party

Kicking off the summer partying festivities in true nautical fashion BassLaced presents a one-off boat party with Digital Soundboy on Saturday 8th June aboard the Dixie Queen steamboat, docked at Tower Millenium Pier.

The brainchild of D&B icon Shy FX, Digital Soundboy has lead the way in groundbreaking UK dance music for almost a decade and will be taking to the Thames for a carnival-esque boat party that brings a slice of the beach festival experience into the heart of London.

Joining Shy FX on deck will be a range talent from the of Digital Soundboy stable such as Radio 1’s golden girl B.Traits , Dubstep and D&B aficionado Breakage, Rinse FM’s Dismantle as well as the newest members of the DSB family – the House-leaning Lazune and expert bass merchant Champion.

Being a man that has witnessed all the progressions of UK Dance music from Garage to Dubstep to House, Zed Bias is more than welcome special guest for the party. Known for landmark releases on flagship bass label Swamp 81 as well as Tru Thoughts and Julio Bashmore’s Broadwalk imprint (both under his Maddslinky alias) the Mancunian has effortless kept in line with the changing mood of the UK underground without ever pandering to fads and trends.

Once the boat comes back from its four-hour voyage the party continues over at Concrete for an all-star after party in the intimate Shoreditch basement space with special guests from the Digital Soundboy family continuing the party vibes until the witching hour.

Techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson continues to produce amazing electronic music, as demonstrated by this killer remix of Austra’s “Home”. Dark, weighty with a great piano loop weaved in, Saunderson gives the cut that Detroit touch. This rework is featured on a limited edition vinyl forthcoming this summer. The original version is taken from Austra’s forthcoming album “Olympia” out 17th June and 18th June (US and Canada).

Wiley’s “Lights On” tune featuring Angel and Tinchy Stryder has been getting tons of spin but this Agent X remix takes the song to a new level. Giving the track an old school house feel, this will burn down the raves. Unfortunately there is no word on a release date so let’s keep our fingers crossed that it will happen soon or at least become available as a free download. In the meantime, you can stream it below.

On-U Sound label boss Adrian Sherwood and Tectonic Recordings owner Pinch will release a collaborative record titled “Bring Me Weed” on June 10th. Pinch previously worked with Sherwood on his “Recovery Time” EP so this new project hails from an organic space. The single pack will include the original version and the “Weed Pyschosis Mix”. This joint venture reflects that tradional style of dub merging with the new school take on the sound which adds another texture to the genre.

Sherwood & Pinch “Bring Me Weed” is out 10th June.

There are moments when you just need to have quality time to yourself. You could do like Melody Prochet aka Melody’s Echo Chamber and enjoy a night at a fun park as she does in her latest video “Some Time Alone”. Awww, good times. The clip is directed by Grant Singer.

Legendary musician and producer Nile Rodgers will create a live anthem for the Ibiza Music Summit next week, further establishing his credit as one of the best in the music busisness. Rodgers was one of the speakers for IMS 2012, so his return to the summit will be gratefully welcomed.

Having worked with music giants in the industry such as Duran Duran, David Bowie, Madonna and more, Nile Rodgers has recently experienced a Number 1 hit for his collaboration with Daft Punk for the record “Get Lucky” featuring Pharrell Williams.
