"Coming away with a slight Tiga comparison in overall delivery, Erol Sabadosh’s raw and bubbly remix of R. Kelly’s ‘Ignition’ looks set to wag tails and shake toe-tapping feet." - Aerial Noise

"For his remix, Sabadosh gives the R Kelly classic a tropical house makeover with distorted steel drums and a hard dance beat." - Surviving The Golden Age

Alexis Farshi Project feat. Snoop Dogg (Erol Sabadosh Remix)

Here's a remix I was recently commissioned to create, I'm very happy with it so please check it out and if you like it you can download it from iTunes:

Diamonds - Rihanna (Erol Sabadosh Remix)

Thanks to everyone who's been sharing my latest remix, it's now got over 200,000 views on YouTube! Here are what some of the blogs have been saying, and in case you missed it here are some links to the YouTube upload and the download on Soundcloud.

"With a dash of synth sparkle and an alluring moombahton gallop underlining, his “nu disco” makeover proves that sometimes a subtle tweak is all that’s needed to bring about the best remixes." - Mixtape Maestro

"We’re quite partial to an Erol Sabadosh remix and this one is Nu Discotastic!! This remix adds a twist of joy to the original that you should be getting your audio fix of." - Your Music Radar

"The track sounds like a deep house take on moombahton with Rihanna’s vocals over the top. Its sexy and cool but still danceable." - Surviving The Golden Age

Angels - The XX (Erol Sabadosh Remix)

"Erol Sabadosh is a master of minimalist remixes that manage to keep the tone of the original while being danceable. In "Angels", the fabulous new single from The XX, the producer not only showcases one of his best works but also one of his most danceable. Keeping the cohesive structure of the original, Erol adds pianos, synthesizers and a lavish production that rivals the original track." - Oh My Rock

"Erol Sabadosh handles The XX like so many have done so before him, and transforms their Original into a radio friendly & club floor drum-honey. It’s good floating in the arms of synthy angels." - Aerial Noise

"Erol mixes a nice live drum sound with some glockenspiel and bouncing synths to create a very atmospheric remix." - Surviving the Golden Age

Mashina O

Check out my brand new original track titled Mashina O which is available for free streaming and download on Soundcloud...

Inspired by Laibach’s B Mashina, Mashina O is an ode to the ground-breaking Omladinski Program Radio Sarajevo (1987 – 1992). Turning communism on its head by promoting alternative lifestyle values as well as music, subsequently becoming among the strongest movement for peace when Yugoslavia collapsed, I'm helping celebrate its 25^th anniversary and legacy by DJing in-store at Rough Trade East in London on the 15th of this month.

The First To Know Gathering @ Rough Trade East (www.roughtrade.com), 15 May, 7pm. Q&A with 'Hoxtonite' trend-setter author Lida Hujic (www.thefirsttoknow.info), win original collector items from the Sarajevo Olympics 1984 and a live DJ set from Erol Sabadosh with a very special playlist.

"What do you get if you mix Frank Ocean on track duty and the incredible Erol Sabadosh on remix duty? A fucking awesome track for the summer thats what!" - Totally Twitterpated

"Helping re-spark our desire to hear “Thinking About You” at least five times a day everyday is this new remix by ace London-based DJ/ producer Erol Sabadosh, who perks up the ballad with a sprightly electro-pop/ house spritz." - Mixtape Maestro

"To the same degree as a late March open breeze, Erol Sabadosh passes us this exceedingly high-end John Legend & Kanye West vocal-doppelgänger, occupied by soulful intent and noteworthy prosperity of the electronic sound. Flawless for radio plays and suitable for beginning ones DJ set with, Erol Sabadosh continues on the lavishness." - Aerial Noise

"Ocean’s smooth vocals sound great over Sabadosh’ driving production." - Surviving the Golden Age

"Erol Sabadosh has taken one of our favourite FAVOURITE tracks by Mr Frank Ocean and given it a wonderful tweak and edit of joy to magic up a wondrous delight of a remix." - Your Music Radar

Ocean‘s easily recognized vocals meet progessive / R & B sounding synths, while flowing over a housey driving beat and fuse together for an infectious dance pop experience. - The Get Downnn

Death Grips

Death Grips are an experimental hip hop group hailing from Sacramento, California, consisting of vocalist Stefan Burnett and production duo Andy Morin and Hella/Marnie Stern drummer Zach Hill. Having released a free mixtape last year titled Exmilitary, which is available on their website, they are now gearing up to release two albums this year, the first titled The Money Store is scheduled for release on the 24th of April through Epic Records, with the second, No Love, due later in the year. Check out these two tracks from The Money Store, which is now definitely one of my most anticipated releases at the moment:

Evian Christ

To my surprise I stumbled upon Evian Christ on an NME weekly round-up of top tracks, don't ask me why I was on the NME site but I didn't realise they were promoting such fresh music these days? I guess now that they've exhausted all topics on the Libertines and The Strokes they're branching out, but I wonder how Evian Christ, real name Joshua Leary, would feel about being placed on a list including Lana Del Rey and Skrillex.

The 22 year old London-based producer has recently signed to Tri Angle records and released his mixtape through Soundcloud, which you can download for free. Leary's productions come on like Ambien-induced hallucinations of melting Dali-esque landscapes dreamt to a soundtrack of West-Coast rap while sampling obscure Portland-based ambient artist, and one-time Xiu Xu collaborator, Grouper. This is without a doubt the best thing I have heard so far this year, and I am excited to see where it goes. Check out the full mixtape, Kings and Them, here:

LORE

I've just unleashed my new music project online and I'd like to share a post on my blog introducing everyone to what I'm doing. Basically, I will be releasing solo material under the name LORE. All music will be written, performed and produced by myself and released independent of any label or other entity. LORE will be an exploration of myth, a simultaneous celebration, subversion and re-appropriation of tradition, genre and expectation. In other words I will be ripping off so many different sources at once in the hopes that the result might sound fresh to exhausted ears. Seriously though, in a climate of lies, desperate economy and constant pandering I just want to make something truthful and honest without worrying what people will think. I'm sitting on about four years of unreleased material that I am now going to start trickling online, and here is the first taste in the form of a no-budget music video made by myself and friends that you can watch on Youtube and an MP3 that you can stream and download for free from Soundcloud, with more to come very soon:

Run - Tawiah (Erol Sabadosh Remix)

I was approached to do a remix for an artist named Tawiah a couple of months ago, at the time I hadn't heard of her but upon doing a bit of research I discovered that she'd already been making waves with her soulful and uplifting music, with a seal of approval from Mark Ronson. Hailing from South London and having graduated from The Brits, Tawiah's confidence shines through in her voice but her music is sweet and full of grace. No doubt she will garner a lot of fans, check out my remix for Run below and the original song, and see a video of her performing Little Drummer Boy:







You can download free tracks from Tawiah's official website HERE!

Video Games - Lana Del Rey (Erol Sabadosh Remix)

When I first heard Video Games by Lana Del Rey I thought it was a beautiful slice of melancholy pop, just the kind of dreamy yet melodic sound I'm into, so I thought I'd give it a little twist of my own and push it in a more epic dubstep-cum-shoegaze (dubgaze?) direction. You can stream or download my remix (for free) via Soundcloud below, and watch the official video for the original track:
