Rising London production duo Eli & Fur join forces with UK producer and Rinse FM DJ, Shadow Child, to release their astonishing single ‘Seeing Is Believing’ on Defected together with brand new remixes from Davidian and Manik.

The original mix for ‘Seeing Is Believing’ opens with an abyssal synth and vocal void, which explodes into a bass bobbing dance floor frenzy. Taking full advantage of Eli & Fur’s seductive vocals, Davidian reinterprets the track adding his own arsenal of rolling bass punches, hi hats and percussive clicks. Things then get very interesting with the addition of skipping synth chords and dispersing array of arpeggios. Adding a melancholic tone with pitched down vocals sections, Manik pushes the limits of the original with his mix of hard-hitting bass and enchanting, almost tropical percussive melodies.

‘Seeing Is Believing’ will be out 11th August 2014 on Defected Records.

Two years ago, LA based producer, Henry Krinkle brought us a sensational single, Stay, featuring great percussion beats and a pretty good twist on Alicia Keys’s vocals from “Unthinkable.” And now, one of TheBasement favorite artists, Justin Martin, has given a magic touch and interpretation of “Stay”. Keeping the melodic essence of those sweet vocals and the simplicity in structure, Justin softened the percussion sounds and added some bass grooves, just how we like.
Now this track it is finally revealed to public. Press play below for some smooth summery beats!

It’s been four long years since Caribou album blew us away and we found and heard his tracks everywhere and today, in 2014 still sounds fresh. Any album that can survive that long is always going to be a classic. Now the expectation about its new release this October is massive.

Details regarding ‘Our Love’ album remain dark but we already know that it will feature guest appearances from Jessy Lanza and Owen Pallett.

If that wasn’t enough we can also share with you a new extended mix of the lead single ‘Can’t Do Without You’ which has already raised our sky high expectations. We received the promo not long ago, and it sounds amazing. Listen to it below!

TheBasement favourites Toyboy & Robin have already made their claim for feel-good track of the summer ’14 with ‘Feel It’.
Toyboy and Robin always create smooth House sounds that are instantly recognizable as their own. They are predictably brilliant every time, and in this occasion it won’t be different.

Push the coffee table to one side, and start «Feeling It’ loud and see for how long you can dance to this bomb. Careful!

Shazam did it once again. They have released the most searched tracks of Ibiza according to the mobile application data.

No sooner than the music scene seemed to be coming to terms with the untimely passing of house music pioneer Frankie Knuckles than it has been dealt another huge blow with the tragic death of footwork innovator DJ Rashad Harden.

A sad day for electronic music, not long ago we heard news that footwork pioneer DJ Rashad had unveiled plans to release a new collaborative studio album ‘WTF’ last March with the full length effort from the Chicago producer in conjunction with Teklife producers MoonDoctoR and FreshtillDef. A man who had so much more to give.

Rumours are currently moving around the internet regarding the nature of his passing at just 35 with several outlets reporting the cause of death to be a drug overdose. The Chicago police department are conducting an investigation into his death after a friend found Harden’s body in an apartment.

DJ Rashad gone but not forgotten.
