Ben Thomas of L’Étranger has had quite an exciting year: he recorded an album with Spectrals as lead guitarist, he founded his own record label, Thomorrow, and on top of all of that he released his first EP of the label.His EP, Don’t Ever Change [TMRW01], consists of the songs Now Or Never, Got To Know, Please, and Ask.

Don’t Ever Change [TMRW01] by Thomorrow

His French moniker, L’Étranger, translates to ‘The Stranger’, but he’s certainly no stranger to the French House music scene. With tropical riffs and groovy beats, these tracks are sun-soaked, washed out, and danceably deep. Dive in!

My friend Dermot McGowan aka Figure of 8 has a flair for well crafted, emotionally driven tracks. With this take on Lana’s take on the classic Blue Velvet he has outdone himself. Musical shifts, thoughtful arrangement, this one takes us on a hypnotic, sexual joyride. With so much fluff to sort through, this song brings some refreshing substance and a passion that is palpable. Thank you good sir. Well done indeed.

We’ve been waiting for this release since we last blogged about Falcon Punch and Roller Radio’s I Might Be Gone. Finally, here it is.

Falcon Punch & Roller Radio – Never Enough by Falcon Punch

Never Enough is a golden, sunny, washed out, smooth, disco vibe: a 1970s summer. Listen to this song while laying  poolside. Summer’s coming, the water’s warm, so take a dip and dive into this tune.

Free Download as well?!!….Happy Monday my little pretties….Binary Approves

*An Ashley Armitage // Hitman production

The Knocks, Goldroom, St Lucia…..as always Josh delivers a stellar remix. Considering the quality of the company he is keeping these projects have more and more of a collaborative type vibe. One of the many things that is awesome about how much Goldroom has blown up is watching people that he used to be blogging about for free on the blog working with him and seeking him out. Pretty inspiring. Beyond that the magic is obviously in the music, this one has an emotional edge, a little more subdued a little darker, still infectious and superbly done. Check it out.

The Knocks – Modern Hearts (Goldroom Remix) by Goldroom

This one has kind of  a City Girls sentiment and vibe to me which is a high compliment as that is one of my all time favorites by Sir Goldroom, Irregardless, by 3:40, when the electric guitars come up front and the synth gets all sexy Sadeish this one stands alone. A cigarette boat bounces across the surf, the sun sets while the wind whips through our heroes hair, his eyes are far away, he is remembering love.Give this one some love. Free Download you say??

This post features the talented Tim Bernhardt, or Satin Jackets: the guy who stole my heart (and probably yours) as I still continue to blare “You Make Me Feel Good” over and over and over. Alongside Tim you will find another Binary favorite, the irrepressible Patrick Baker.Get ready to fall in love.

Satin Jackets feat. Patrick Baker – Only You (Original Mix) [96kbit] by Satin Jackets

We have a nu-disco masterpiece here: rollin’ bass, captivating vocals by the always incredible Patrick Baker, catchy chords. All in all, sheer smoothness (what else would we expect from Satin Jackets?) I am nothing but impressed with this one. Instant classic.

Europe for the win. Can hardly wait to hear more.

If anyone’s instagram account can make me “lol” – it’d have to be Jerome LOL’s (he also goes by Jeremy Potter for the more prim folk).More importantly, he deserves an award for emanating smiles through music.

Here’s a remix of Classixx’s “Holding On” – with a bit of a 90’s twist, as per the low frequencies, and with a hell of a lotta drum clap. He slows this one down slightly, but don’t fret – it’s still bright and shiny for the imminent summertime weather. It’s retro, dreamy and incredibly infectious.

Treasure Fingers is back. His latest, entitled “Cloud Life” is a reminder of how amazing he is as a producer and a breath of fresh air. Musical, awesome sounds, cool breaks, this is a beautiful song. Did I mention it is a free download as well? Happy Wednesday:

Grab it while it lasts. Memorable music. Binary approves

Final DJs and Gin Joints. City nights EP. Out Now! Great release, this showed up in my inbox and really grabbed me. At this point I have come to accept that I am going to be feeling the sounds that Final DJs come up with, having said that there are some that I am more partial to. This Ep represents some of their best work so far. Each remix adds a slightly different but worthy in its own right version. The original is tight. Final DJs // Gin Joints. Get up on it. Happy Wednesday.

Embryonik creates multi textured synth goodness. The depth of the tracks and the emotion within them is both unusual and fresh. Check it out :

Embryonik – Gliding – (demo preview) by embryonik

This jam is on some drug induced, post apocalyptic, cruising through the war ravaged streets type illness. Fire everywhere, leather pants and crossbows type shit. Somehow though, a hope begins to build, the memory of beauty. The dream of somehow revisiting love. Deep right?

yeah…def. feeling this one. Check out his Night Flight EP and get familiar. Dreamy, emotional, thoughtful and blue. Gliding indeed. Binary approves.
