Mix Monday: Maelstrom - BNR Introduction Mix

Joan Mael Péneau is a dj/producer from France who's been making beats for 10 years. For the past seven years, he's been working under the name Maelstrom. I've been on a huge disco kick, but the combination of aggressive electro, deep house, and lush synths makes this a killer mix. His upcoming Tanger EP will debut on the new Boys Noize digital sublabel, BNR TRAX, just in time for American Thanksgiving. I don't think my family will enjoy Maelstrom as the feasting music. I'll have to remember headphones.

Mix Monday: Christian Strobe - DJ Promo Mix 02

I forget when I first came across German dj/producer Christian Strobe, but I do remember the song that first caught my ears. "Midnight Call" is deep, hypnotic house track with some seriously intoxicating beats.

Christian Strobe's mix is the real focus of this post. The song selection for this mix is what got me. It's got some of my favorites by Russ Chimes, Digitalism, Grum, and Boys Noize, but it's also got some hidden gems. I found myself stopping this mix quite a few times. Check out the mix below and after the jump, I'll share my stopping points.
