DJ-Follower’s Daily Dose of Free Tunes: Ejeca, Moon Boots and Skream
Well, Random Access Memories reception wasn't the warmest you could imagine. A lot of comments turn attention to the fact that, while it was teased that the album is going full disco, it was more of a progressive rock record. Nevertheless, there are enthusiasts like Skream and Moon Boots, who are showing off their disco-ball moments. To those of you with a urge for something a little more jacking, take a trip forward to the post disco age, and listen to Ejeca's '90s-reminiscent remix of the immensely successful Malinchek track 'So Good To Me'.
Part of the talented French Express acts, Moon Boots never seems to disappoint. As evident when listening to the funky disko tune 'Love Strong', this isn't something that's about to change. Who do you love? French Express! Big up Moon Boots, like on Facebook!
So let's move on to this house affair from an act that's inspired by the movement which was inspired by disco. House and techno are rooted in the disco and electro disco that followed. UK's young gun Ejeca has taken it on himself to put the late '80s, early '90s sound back into circulation. One must admit, he's been successful this far. By remixing one of the best songs from 2012, he's following the path in a particularly jacking fashion. Find Ejeca on Soundcloud and Facebook!
Favoring the robots efforts in an otherwise disappointed crowd of producers and DJs, Skream has put out a mixtape with his flavor of disco on display. The 70-plus minute mix comes before his upcoming Asia tour. It's not a preview of what to expect on the tour. But it does seem to present tracks the likes of which people might've hoped to hear on Random Access Memories.

Diplo & Friends: Flux Pavilion mix
“I dunno if you know about this guy but Flux Pavilion, he’s kind of a big deal,” Diplo introduced the #43 ranked bass musician at the beginning of his Diplo & Friends radio show. The labelhead has hosted whole bunch of friends, including Avicii who did an unconventional mix, and other top guns like Boys Noize, Four Tet and Dillon Francis. Flux Pavilion is an unsurprising choice, the two had a lot of time to befriend when they collaborated on a major hit 'Jah No Partial'
“I worked with him, he’s a cool guy,” Diplo continues the introduction. “I even worked out of his little dormitory studio apartment two years ago, I don’t even know here it was, somewhere in far, far North England. It was so nasty up there, there were like rats riding bicycles around the neighbourhood. I don’t think they’ve had sunshine for two centuries, it was just a giant grey cloud over this place.”
“His label Circus Records is legendary in the bass, the dubstep, the drumstep scene,” Diplo’s teasing went on. “He’s toured everywhere, he’s been to more places in America than I have and you know what, I’m from America. It’s a big country.”
After teasing about new and unheard material from Circus Records camp, Flux started the bass-filled hour long set, playing the likes of Skream, Cookie Monsta, Dillon Francis alongside his own material.
