Saturday Night Fever 26: DJ Dan

DJ Dan is, well, uh, you guessed it, a DJ. But that isn't everything this Olympia, Washington based dude does. When he's not behind the wheels of steel, he's producing bumpin' dance tracks and posing in blue button-downs.

To show you what DJ Dan is all about, we're throwing three hot tracks in your direction. They range from his filtered and hard-hitting "Bam" to the flashy keyboard driven riffs of "Rock To The Rhythm." If these clips don't give you your fill of DJ Dan, hit up his beatport page and grab a hold of more tracks.

Church - King Crow

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Church is a three-man band that makes folk-influenced pop music. This ear-friendly trio was formed in 2007, and is signed to Sohitek records. You can also catch them live, as they are currently touring the US.

From their second release, Gold, we have a track titled "King Crow." The tune is carried on by the lead singer's lush and dreary vocals, laced over strums of acoustic guitar. Offsetting this delicately-woven track is a thunderous kick-drum and a raw electronic buzz. This is the kind of music you want to listen to on a rainy day with a comforting cup of coffee, as you gaze out the window at the grey clouds. It's a soft track, with a charming and loose delivery.

Saturday Night Fever 25

Back in 1990, Seal released his first single with Adamski. The track, "Killer," was his first huge hit, way before he dropped "Kiss from a Rose." Today we have a remix of Seal's first hot single from Matt Samuels & Abigail Bailey.

Not only did they cover "Killer," they have several remixes on the release, including: Dan Mckie, George Carrasco, Nathan C & Harry Brown, and Roy McLaren. They turned Adamski's down-tempo track into reverberated dance floor anthem. If you dig it, pick up your copy on Beatport.

Ulre - Nobodies Favourite, Peace Corpse, & Struggle and Nothing

Ultre is a dude from the UK that makes absurdly awesome electro-acoustic tunes. Sampling and implementing just about every sound he can, Ultre's music isn't commonplace. Luckily for you, we have three tracks of his to share.

Although Ultre uses a lot of crazy sounds, the thing I really dig about him is the balance. There are sputters of electronic noises that are compensated for by piano and acoustic guitar licks. It makes for well-rounded noise. Imagine the collaboration of Aphex Twin and The Sight Below, and you'd get Ultre.

We are really stoked to share tonight's track, "Stop & Go," a solid club anthem full of funky filters, wobbly leads, and hot samples. It sounds similar to Andrew Friend's "Bump and Grind," but definitely holds its own. If you dig tonight's feature, download more of Mike's tracks at Beatport.
