    Don Sizzle - "Love Lift"

    Here to kick things off for Elevated Tracks in 2016 is the Canadian born, Toronto based producer, known as Don Sizzle. Don is no stranger to the underground house scene. His tunes have been played out by some of house music’s most well known and respected DJs. We had been buggin' Don for an EP and now it's time to proudly welcome him to the #ElevatedFam. The Love Lift EP paints a perfect sonic picture of our renewed Elevated idealogy: positively uplifting and promisingly funky. Don Sizzle has provided a simple audio palette that anyone can play, dance too and enjoy. The first track of the EP, 'Get Up People,' comes out swinging with its squishy grooves, lo-fi sonic textures, and giant brass melodies. For a simple underground house track, its got a larger than life sound that’s perfect for any dance floor. Just add a cup of sexiness, skin, sweat and you'll be ready to go. When the time has come to pick up the pace in your set, Don Sizzle, aka the Disco House Gigolo, has the answer (again) with his second track off the EP, 'Love Lift.' His dubby discofied translation of the classic 60's hit blends a 21st century sound with timeless nostalgia. Don's magical touch with editing, filtering, and layering brings new energy to a song whose life spans generations. House music will always go in many directions, but when it gets back to that old stuff, that good stuff, that fun stuff – that's when its time to really go out and live, dance and truly be free.

    Gonzo-Gonzo – "Just Keep Making Music"

    Back again with the latin plan, Guatamalan house music guru Gonzo-Gonzo has returned to Elevated Tracks for the release of his second EP, Just Keep Making Music. If you were fans of his first Elevated release, For Your Love EP, we promise that you're really gonna vibe out and get down to his latest new jams. Leading off this smokin hot EP is the title track, Just Keep Making Music. Fresh, dubby, and smoother than a babies rump, Just Keep Making Music brings that deep disco house vibe to the dance floor in epic fashion. Built upon progressive simple melodies and drums, this track earns it's smooth edge from the various layers of keys, guitars, and percussion that build and retract throughout the arrangement. Added in for flavor is a powerful vocal sample that helps define the reasons why we as musicians do what we do. And it sounds pretty cool too. The second track off Gonzo-Gonzo's latest release is the flavorful latin house track, Dejame Canter. The essence of this wonderful track is built on the sexy female vocal melodies Gonzo-Gonzo uses and edits throughout, along with the afro cuban percussion rhythms and keys that push and swing the beat. If you're looking for something fun and smooth to bring that sexy vibe to your next party, give this track a spin. We promise that not only will it bring the ladies out to your dance floor, but it might get you laid too.

    Artispure – "Walking On Ice"

    Art is pure. If you think about it, it really is. The way it interacts with you, the way it moves you, the power it has to affect how we live, how we love, how we see each other socially, spiritually, and politically on a daily basis. The phrase "Art Is Pure,” speaks to who we are as people. In a way, it is the one thing that differentiates us with everything else we share this planet with. Embodying this cultural idealism is the Chicago artist known as 'Artispure.’ A creative man with a free spirit and even bigger heart. Not only are we proud to call him a friend, but we are excited to fully welcome him to the Elevated family with his new two track EP, Walking On Ice. The first track on the release, which bears the same name as the EP, Walking On Ice, is a fun uplifting soulful house track with a real sexy groovy edge. Featuring the touching vocal melodies of the artist we know as Mystique, Walking On Ice is a perfect soulful house cut for any hour. Its charismatic smooth flavor will warm up any mood, give life to any party and uplift anybody who needs that positive escape in their life. The second, and final track on the Walking on Ice EP, featuring additional keyboards by the man Greg Spero, is the dubby jazz fueled floor stretcher, "Disco Jumbo.” This tune is led by a driving tribal jack beat and as the drums progress dubby layers of electric piano begin to melt over the rhythm. The groove builds and breaks down into a wash of melodic keys, finally exploding into the jazz house monster thats gonna have your feet tappin and the people dancing. What else would you expect from good Chicago house!
