It’s tough to make a track equally suited for moody bedroom listens and for filling the dancefloor, but Durante & (TBE Fave) Amtrac pull it off with the evocative song “Pray”. There’s a lot to explore and dissect if you’d like. Or you can just as easily shut off your mind and let your hips do the thinking. Either way, it won’t be leaving your playlists for a while.
If grandma didn’t want her fine china rattling like a maraca then she shouldn’t have let grandpa put in such a killer hi-fi. This bass was meant to blow the plastic cover off the living room couch and let the dog know who is the alpha (Hint: Amtrac is)  We will dance now and clean up the bowl of hard candies later. Read more
Oh man, there are few things I love more then when Amtrac gets in touch with his softer side, taking a soulful groover like this and rubbing some deep house lotion all over it for a bask in the moonlight. Oh Amtrac, when will I hear you again? Its always too long.
Music for… living out the last days of summer in style and grace. Amtrac gives RAC’s jam a bit of a beachfront club edge with a bit more pep in its step. These are the kinds of sounds I love Amtrac for. It all brings me back to his criminally underrated debut LP Came Along Came Along and that sound he has so long left behind. Oh the good ol days.
I know, I know. It’s been too long. The Remix Roundups are back and I guarantee they will be more fun then ever. Here is Vol 71 for your weekend enjoyment and I already have Vol 72 coming together. Both of them are a kind of “house cleaning” of all the amazing remixes of 2013 that never got Roundup love. They will be followed by the Best Remixes of 2013 post. Thats a lot of music. Drink a lot of water and don’t forget to stretch.
Oh, and there are a few jams included in the ZIP below that aren’t on Soundcloud anymore so make sure you grab that…

TBE fave Amtrac has taken some weird left turns lately but this new remix brings back his signature thump that I love so much. Bump it!
soon we’ll be in the open and the day will start
Another all-star cast assembled for a jam I should have brought you weeks ago! Everyone doing what they do best! The Knocks whipping up beats, St. Lucia crooning so smooth, and me being late as shit! Tag team! Enter Goldroom for the finishing move!
Update: Amtrac remix!
