One of the tracks that appeared on our House Masters compilation is René Et Gaston – Vallée De L’armes. We already made this track back in 1993, but some 2 years ago our buddy Laidback Luke did a really bad ass bootleg. Continue Reading →
Defected had a chat with Nouveau Yorican’s Laidback Luke & Gina Turner. They said nice things.
Chopping the living hell out of the uniquely catchy hook that paved the way for the original to become one of the biggest underground tracks of the winter, Chocolate Puma have created a pounding, glitchy remix that simply demands to be danced to.
Defected newcomer Gianni Morino then steps up with two remixes of broken beats, hooks and horns that turn the original on its head to awesomely danceable effect.
“To me this remix package is the legendary meets the new!” says one half of Nouveau Yorican Ladback Luke of the new mixes. “And I’m in the middle of the circle. Chocolate Puma are my mentors, and the funny thing is Gianni is a student of mine. Both have delivered amazing remixes and I’m proud and happy we could make this work. Much respect to my grandmasters Zki & Dobre and keep an eye on Gianni Marino as I tip him as
an Afrojack 2.0”
Hailing from Amsterdam, 21 year old Gianni Marino is one of the up and coming yun ones churning out baltimore house inspired bangers. As a true fan of martial art movies the idea of mashing styles and techniques into one to enter into battle comes natural to him, and so mixmashing musical styles has become his signature sound. He joins fellow Dutch producers Chocolate Puma – who will require no introduction to house music fans – to complete the remix package in fine style.
“The Chiuso package is absolutely stellar!” enthuses Luke’s studio partner Gina Turner. ” To me, the Chocolate Puma remix is big room stadium tech house at its finest…and the Gianni Marino is the new school take on the dutch house underground sound! Loving both as I feel they are chamealeon remixes and could work in many different types of sets.”
Defected and Chocolate Puma fans alike will remember that the duo’s last record ‘Tonco Tone’ was one of the biggest underground tracks of 2010, hanging around the Beatport Top 10 for several weeks. Sleep on this remix at your peril…

Late last year, the original mix of Chiuso marked the joining of Laidback Luke and Gina Turner in a orgy of creative production, the result of which was Chiuso; a really awesome latin inspired house track.
Now, Defected asked us to give our interpretation of Chiuso. Of course we said yes. So we worked our butts of and made some banging beats you can dance to with lots of stuff thrown on top! And horns.

“Battling for our attention was Dutch super-duo, and kick ass DJs in their own right, Chocolate Puma. Dropping fresh new remixes that even Mr. Dunmore hadn’t heard, the Pumas were as sweet and tasty as their name implies. Jacking drums, uber cool vocals, and fresh choons their set definitely made us upset that A) they weren’t in the main room and B) they were on directly opposite Roog! But if their awesomeness is any indication we won’t have to wait for those issues to be rectified next year!”
Time to get back to the studio!
On Friday March 6th, Laidback Luke will be throwing his Super You&Me Party at Paradiso Amsterdam.
We’re very excited, because we will be dropping our tunes there! Expect a lot of fresh unreleased material, frantic bootlegs and redubbed classics.
