We here at Beatport were greatly saddened to hear about the death of Adam Goldstein this past weekend, the DJ otherwise known as AM.

Much has been reported about the details and circumstances of his death, but we feel it’s important to remember him for his love and passion for music, above all else.

manca davvero poco al 12 settembre, data della seconda edizione del reggio air festival. la formula e la location, che durante la scorsa edizione hanno fatto da cornice a fabrizio maurizi, anthony collins e sven vath, hanno riscosso tanto successo da essere confermate in tutto e per tutto. quest’anno, però, sarà la volta della musica di luciano, ralf, ernesto ferreyra, dyed soundorom e del concerto dei motel connection. non male no? e se tutto questo non dovesse bastarvi, alle tre di notte tutti al maffia per l’after durante il quale si esibiranno nuovamente luciano e ralf.

Fresh from his Cadenza smash, Gavin Herlihy offers a deep tech house roller on Kindisch, and newcomers Psycatron get chaotic on Planet E.

There are also stand out cuts from And.id, Boyz Noize & Erol Alkan, Pryda, and a solid progressive house cut from up and comers Andretta. Also look out for a Kim Fai remix of the techno classic ‘Good Life’.

Listen to them all after the jump!

nightcrawlers: push the feeling on

uscita nel 1992 sull’americana great jones, “push the feeling on” è uno dei pezzi house che chi frequenta i club da qualche anno non può non conoscere…un intramontabile classico!

We haven’t met Clyde Sergio Narain yet, the DJ otherwise known as Chuckie from The Hague, but he sure sounds like a cliché. A diamond-encrusted watch, a contacts book full of American rappers, a flat bill baseball cap, and a pair of bejeweled DJ headphones. Now that’s so hip hop.

But the same homey who won two MOBO awards for Best Urban DJ, and who counts Lil John, Will.i.am, and Jermain Dupri as friends, also rocked Miami’s Winter Music Conference in March with an electro house anthem, opened up ID&T’s 40,000-capacity Sensation White dance event in 2008, and played at David Guetta’s ‘F*** Me I’m Famous’ night, at Pacha in Ibiza. He grew a club night from the ground up, and releases DJ-friendly dance tracks on his own label. Now that’s so house.

Chuckie is a conundrum, a traitor to hip hop, and a defector to dance music, but his background is even more confusing. “My dad is half black, half Indian, and my mum is from Indonesia,” says Narain, in an accent that is impossile to pin down. “I grew up in Suriname, South America, before moving to Europe.”
