Our man Meroz made an appearance on Danced on Arrival earlier this week. He takes the time with the DOA crew to discuss what he is looking for in love, whether he is a dog or a cat man, and if he thinks Jesus will be resurrected in 2012 to punish the wicked.
Lee Dunn (better known as Ghosts of Venice) has had a big year. After self-releasing his “I Learned From The Best” EP, he quickly caught the attention of the A&R teams at Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Dust Traxx, and of course, Solid Bump Records. In the months to follow he has lent his passion for jacked up Disco House to a slew of official remixes including Grum’s “Can’t Shake This Feeling” and James Talk & Ridney’s massive Ibiza summer anthem “Forever”. Solid Bump is proud to debut his first commercially available original track entitled “Her”. The song serves as a homage to the long days of a summer passed, with a highly swung laidback groove that keeps in perfect tow with the signature sound of Solid Bump.
The remix selection is a showcase of the exciting talent Solid Bump has in store in 2011, with a large portion of the label’s roster lending their spin on the single. White Girl Lust completely re-imagines the original as an epic piano house burner, complete with vocals from Alona. Chicago’s Bit Funk glosses the tune with his distinct synth-pop sheen. Meanwhile, Mix Chopin lives up to his name with a lively cut & paste session. The release is rounded out by the low-key vibes of Mykill & Meroz.
Can I get a what what? Here is a free download from the Meroz Trump EP to start the party…
Meroz’s debut EP on Solid Bump follows fast on the heels of Pleasure & Pressure Vol.2. – which was the #1 release on the Turntable Lab charts for 4 weeks straight and is holding the #6 top selling release of all time on the site!
For his Trump EP, Meroz conjures the ghost of Thomas Bangalter’s Roule imprint to create a 3 song ride of looped stop and start funk. The release calls on the young remix talent of Toronto’s Gingy & Bordello, who are currently earning well deserved praise for their original track Vaporizor, which has been gathering support from Brodinski and Jokers of the Scene. Here is what people are saying…

We have posted up the preview for the forthcoming debut EP from Meroz entitled Trump. It’s a cut up start and stop affair that pays a toast to Thomas Bangalter’s Roulé imprint. It also features a a remix from Toronto’s Gingy and Bordello, who’s forthcoming Vaporizer track is earning major support from Brodinski and Jokers of the Scene. The release drops late May!
So spring must be in the air – because the Solid Bump posse is getting wild all the sudden. All of our friends and family have been turning out an insane volume of material. Ghost of Venice, Le Principle, White Girl Lust… everyone! Be sure to check back here for a new Laberge remix tomorrow!
Phew, we survived SXSW and had a great time. While we were away Clayton from WGL wrapped up a piece of modern cinema brilliance – the trailer video for Pleasure & Pressure Vol.2. It gives you a little glimpse of what we look like in the real world and what our daily lives are like at Solid Bump. Just keeping it real, ya know?
The EP has been getting an AMAZING response – currently it is #1 on the Turntable Lab charts as well as the “Release of the Moment”! Also big up to everyone who has been dropping it in their sets as well as those who said they were going to give it some burn in Miami! If you don’t have it, get it!

At last the time has come. I have to say I am as excited as Octo-mom about our eighth release on Solid Bump. Our continuation of the Pleasure & Pressure series has hit digital music stores everywhere. We are so hot we got our art censored by iTunes, as well as 4 out of 5 fires on Turntable Lab! The iTunes staff made it up to us though and tossed us on the front page – so we’re cool. If you do buy from iTunes and want the unedited booty version of the art, be sure to right click the above image.
