Powerhouse UK-based house, breaks, pop, and everything-in-between record label Exceptional Records released Chad North’s remix of Waveplant & Ernesto “(I Need A) Bassline” on June 29.

The single, which features the original and the Chad North & Aaron Pope remix, will be the first single off Ernesto’s full length compilation “Ernesto Sings” due out later this year on Exceptional. You can hear the soul-drenched original version on Soundcloud here.

Chad also features the remix on his own Soundcloud page here. This third release of his with San Francisco based collaborator Aaron Pope features a more distinct dance-floor breakbeat with chopped vocals and glitch effects. Waveplant (aka Chicago-based composer Joel Corelitz) and Chad North have exchanged remix projects over the past several years.

You can purchase the single on iTunes – with a CD single version to be released in the coming weeks. (Yes they still release CD singles!)

ART BY CHANCE is the brand new “Ultra Short Film Festival” that will be aired in 14 countries and 64 cities, between May 22 – June 3, 2009.

MORE ABOUT ART BY CHANCE:

ART BY CHANCE is the brand new “Ultra Short Film Festival” that will be aired in 14 countries and 64 cities, between May 22 – June 3, 2009.

For this festival, you don’t need to buy a ticket or go to a movie theatre! Movies will just pop into your lives in subways, busses, airports, shopping malls, trains, sports centers, art galleries, museums, cafes and bars! ART BY CHANCE will present urban dwellers with stimulating content thus colouring the time slices that are usually considered dead.

Internationally selected and “journey” themed creative short films will catch you unexpectedly while traveling in the subway, waiting at the airport, shopping or just strolling around.

Digital screens scattered around the city will be your host for this festival.

Art By Chance in NYC Produced with the help of Slightly Overexposed Productions

Habitat composer Chad North co-founded breakbeat and tech-funk blog/podcast Jungo Road (www.jungoroad.com) earlier this year to highlight the more eclectic sounds of underground dance music in NYC.

The concept, “West Coast beats to the East Coast”, is meant to spotlight promoters and DJ/producers in New York that are pushing dance music forward and not limiting themselves to “bottle-service club” trends – referring to the healthy breakbeat and tech-funk scene in West coast cities like San Francisco.

The site features weekly mixes from some of the best DJ/producers in the US and abroad – with a special focus on San Francisco and New York City based DJs. Recent guests have included Meat Katie, Lee Coombs, Barney Iller, Raydeus, and Aaron Pope. The site also features an event calendar, track reviews, and up-front track previews from labels like Lot49, U&A, and Muti Music.

The podcast is also available on iTunes under “Jungo Road”.

Habitat composer Chad North is currently recording for UK-based electro-house label Erase Records and has his debut single with the label set to drop June 1st.

This third collaboration with San Francisco-based DJ Aaron Pope will be available as an exclusive release on Beatport first – with a wider release to follow.

The track, entitled The Grind, is an electro-breaks hip-hop influenced banger that has already been storming clubs on the West coast. The package was mastered at Habitat Music by Ming and features vocals by Australian-based hip-hop artist Estae.

The Grind is packaged with the equally mighty You Got What as the b-side – very much in fashion with the current trend in fidget and electro-house. The remix package will follow later in the month with mixes by Scott Cooper (Potty Mouth Records), Wasabi (Erase Records), and Mike Hulme (Lot49, U&A).
