Old School Mix

Girl Talk dropped his new album "All Day" the other day... I probably won't be posting any of that. Worth mentioning though, he took almost two years to finish it, and it's a semi-dope album if you're into hyperdrive mash ups. (You can DL it here.)

However, today I'm chosing to post about a couple of mixes that came out a few years ago. I stumbled back into one of my first favorite mixes a few days ago, and got caught up in a nastalgic playlist that I used to run a while back. Their mostly old school songs that have been vamped up for todays crowd, but are easy to dive into. I'm kickin it off with my personal favorite mix, the Soulwax mix of "You can't always get what you want." Just let it roll.

(A) Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want (Soulwax Remix) by AutoMatth


This next track came out about a year ago. It's a Twelves mix of the 80's hit Take on me. Not quite as catchy as the original, but nice and upiddy for todays music.

Take On Me (The Twelves Remix) - A-Ha by djmajrdc


This is just straight fun. The Police's "Roxanne" mixed by Discotech. Jump up and get down:

The Police - Roxanne (discotech remix) by Dsprinz


I wish I could take off all the little comments on this one, but it's the only DL-able one I could find. It's a little crazy for those not keen to dub, but it's mix of serene vibes and crazy beats makes me love it. It's a Good Vibrations mix by the Stanton Warriors. Dig it

'Good Vibrations' (Stanton Warriors Remix) by Stanton Warriors


Again, I wish I could take the comments off, but I can't. (You can if you just click the little talk bubble in the bottom right corner). This is a smooth Fugee's "Ready or Not" dub remic by Cillo. Sexy, fun, and real. Perfect.

God damn: what a weekend. Bassnectar was an absolute party, as he always is. But blended with a healthy mix of great people and a beautiful city, he was near leathal. With an ungodly setlist and a bumpin' venue (electric factory), it was some of the most fun I've had all semester. Thanks Philly for showing this CT kid a good time, you all know who you are.
I gotta unleash the dub in this post, so those who aren't friendly with explosive beats, watch out.

I'll start off easy: Lorin Ashton unleashed this in the middle of the set, although he clearly improvised it to fit the electric factory. Awesome song, it's a Fever Ray mix that always puts a smile on. Careful though, this a' rocket launcher right here:

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Bassnectar Remix) by Illeskimo

I also gotta throw this next one into the mixer. I have to say, Beats Antique killed it. Almost unseen heros of the show on Friday. Here's a mix that Bassnectar created when he did some work with Beat's Antique (I think 2008?). Love it, just a circus of a track:

Beats Antique - Roustabout (Bassnectar Remix) by therabble2

Alright, here's where it gets a little crazy. This one got thrown down a little before half way through the set. It was a shit show of a song. Ashton whomped it the fuck out. My personal favorite song of the set.

Zeds Dead & Omar LinX - Out For Blood by omarlinx

Just to break it up a bit, so I'm not completly fixed on the show from Friday, I'm gona toss one of my more recent favorites out there. This is a Jamrock Dubstep mix by Savoy. Get wild with it.

Welcome to Jamrock (Savoy Remix)- Damian Marley by Chicofuentz

To close it out, I'm gona put down a Diplo mix. Beautiful song, Four Floors by sunday girl. Dive inside and swim around in it.

Sunday Girl - Diplo Vs. Sunday Girl - Four Floors by shimmythecoco

Thanks again to everyone who was there in Philly. We gotta do that again sometime soon.

Lazy Sundays

Thank God for Sundays. The one day of the week where all the bullshit of recent history can be thrown aside, and for 6-7 hours of NFL football I can do nothing and feel good about it. Today I can tune into football, listen to the recent hypem charts, and forget about the weeks problems.

Todays picks are scattered, flowing from goofy alternative songs to beatiful mixes.I'm gona start with the goofy, and roll out Tiger Love's recent chart hit. laugh at it, it's pretty rediculous.

Tiger-Love-Pussy-Cocaine by fironov

I couldn't get an embeded code for this next song, but it's fuckin awesome. A fresh mix of an old school favorite, Hot Chip remixed Passin' Me By by the Pharcyde. Definitely click this link and check it out. It's such a sexy and almost intimate remix,  it puts a different spin on the goofy original.


Again I couldn't get an embeded code for this, but it's quintissential Pretty Lights. Love this jam, eat it up and savor the flavor. Looking for Love

Finally, with Bassnectar commin up in 2 weeks, I'm gona lay down one of Lorin Ashton's bigger hits. This song just doesn't seem to lose it's taste.

Bassnectar - Magical World feat. Nelly Furtado (FREE DOWNLOAD) by Bassnectar

Enjoy your Sunday. I know I will.

Monday



I'm pretty sure the red dot isn't to scale...

 It's been a great couple of weeks. the past couple weekends have been filled with seeing family and hometown times. And with the long hibernation of winter looming over the horizon, my writing has been absent, but there's still been plenty of good music flowin. With the Utica phish show commin up, and the possibility of seeing more of the home boys on wednesday, I've decided to post a quick bit on songs that bring it back home. there's no underlying theme today, just an overall post of personal favorites.

I'll kick it off with a song that deserves some love now. Easton's very own Austin Eterno broke into the hypem top 5 today, and settled in at #2 with his "I remember shelter" mix. A Fantastically serene mix, the song melts over like a popsicle in july.

I Remember Shelter (The xx vs. Deadmau5 & Kaskade) by Austin Eterno

Not to be too obvious with the home theme, but it's just too catchy not to put on here. Anyone who's been watchin the games on Sunday with have heard Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros song "Home," which is all over the tailgaiting NFL commercial (you can listen to it here). To keep it upbeat though, I'm gona put the Myndset mix down. Fun and versitile.

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros - Home (Myndset Remix) by MYNDSET

One of my all time favorites. Shoutout to those who got to here it with me at Bisco. This one will never grow old.

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends by thedopestopdotcom

On that Bisco note, this one's for Newman. You fucker.

01 The King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1 by Insidewantsout

I'll finish this off here with "Furr." should be able to speak for itself.

Blitzen Trapper - Furr by subpop

Colgate playlist should be soon to come. Many more songs I wouldve loved to put up, but it'll just slow down the uploads.

Sorry, I'm a sloth

Lack of posting lately, I've been busy with work and exams. Lemaitre just released a new track. It's pretty dope, as expected. enjoy:

Fossil Fuels by Lemâitre

Party People!

Alright, so I've been slow on posts. I'm better than that. But to make up for a lack of posts, I'm laying down a playlist to keep people booty bumpim' till the AM. While most of the Colgate crowd may not recognize these tracks, they have the fundamental elements of good party music. Bumpin base and beats, and a steady good to great time vibe. The playlist is a fair mix of mashups, mixes, hip-hop, and dance music.  I also had to create this list within the confines of Colgates media shareing policies, so that I'm not shareing songs that aren't alowd to be shared. that being said, this is still one bumpin' playlist. Enjoy.

A Place Behind the Moon

Big Gigantic Dropped their new album today, 'A Place Behind the Moon'. Let me tell you, it delivers. With classic beat bumpin Jazz riffs and hip-hop beats, the entire album is a trip. AS mentioned in a previous post, Big Gigantic were easily my favorite shows of the summer, and are definitely something to be checked out. Most of their upcoming tour is west based, but if you get a chance, GO and see them. Here are my two favorites from the new album, 'Limelight', and the duby 'Step Up'.

06 Step Up by Insidewantsout

For info on purchashing the new album, check out their page here, or you can buy it directly here with a bonus track from sts9 from this site.

Gettin' Comfortable

So I'm just about all moved into my new room. I'm set and stacked up, and only have a few more adjustments to make before my room is a true bachelors pad. Got a futon on the way, and a TV commin in little over a week. I'm fucking stoaked.

Last night I was puttin up a shelf for my room when I stumbled into a new track by Lemaitre. These guys are impressing the shit out of me. Their new track, entitled 'Nishio,' is an electronic instrumental synth jam, with steady bass and good vibes. Check it:

Lemaitre - Nishio by Lemâitre

This is a hazy post, I'm still gettin situated in my new room, but there's more to come soon. I'll be puttin up a party playlist soon that's sure to keep people booty bumpin' till the AM. Later.

New Stew

I recently had the pleasure of getting a chance meeting with the up an comming Ian Stewart. If you haven't heard of him, you probably should. A house/dubstep artist out of Wallingford, CT, his demeanor is up and at 'em with great taste and great sounds always on his mind. Studying music since he was 6, he finally decided to try his hand at mixing in 2005, and has been steadily gaining notice ever since. His climb began In 2006, after meeting DJ Alex Liberatore, owner of Dynamix Records L.L.C., at a house party. Having been getting after it for only 5 years now, his big spot came recently from a bumpin set at 'The Big Up' this summer (Big Up). Listen to it here. With jazz influence and classical study, he's got the foundation to make some noise in the dubstep scene. Here's my favorite mix of his so  far, a very enjoyable mix of stevie wonder's superstition:

Superstition (Ian Stewart's Re-Jack) by ianstewart

More info on Stewart can be found on his page. Definitely try to keep an eye on this talent, it's worth your time.

Sugarpills

A few months back, Kids of 88 teased us with the release of 'just a little bit,' a sleezy but fun mix of dance and intrique. A little over a week ago (8/16/10), they released their anticipated album 'Sugarpills'. The New Zealand 'new wave/ electro' duo did not disapoint, releasing a susynct but diverse blend of sexy vibes and gestures. Kids, The self proclaimed "cross between a late 80s police drama intro theme and a sophisticated super hussy," deliver the dance basslines anticipated months ago. The breakthrough songs that delivered were 'Ribbons of Light,' My House,' and 'Everybody Knows,' with the closing song 'Downtown' recieving some noteriaty. However, my personal favorite is the simple but up-beat romantic buzz "San Fran." It delivers a steady vibe sure to bring good times and smiles. It can be found for your listening pleasure HERE.

Just for fun, the hit tracks from 'Sugarpills' are right here. Enjoyable dance tunes, but meant for only the right crowds.

Both "Ribbons of Light" and "My House" have a supper sleezy but tastefull vibe to them. Good fun to enjoy with a partner.

Kids Of 88 - My House by The Recommender

The other songs on the album that have recieved credit are "Downtown," a potentially fun pregame song meant for the night out down the town, and "Everybody Knows," a cute yet blatent inuendo for a good time. For more info on purchasing 'Sugarpills,' and more info on Kids of 88, check out their blog here. Also be sure to check out their summer hit "Just a Little Bit" if you have the time. (It's what set the tone for their release).

Summer Closing

As I prepare myself for the upcoming semester, I recap my summer music highlights. While packing up my bags I can't help but think of the amazing trip up to NY for Camp Bisco 9, and all the rediculous people we met at my 3rd camp bisco (Smokin' Joe... you were pretty awesome). I recall the trip down to philly to see sts9 and Lotus, and crashing the afterparty to witness my favorite show of the summer. Big Gigantic. These guys kick ass. I had checked them out at Bisco and had a great time, but among the other amazing talent (Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Tipper, ect..) My opinion towards them kindof blended into a giant opinion of the weekend.

However, seeing them late night in philly blew my mind. Big Gigantic is an all star show in a simple setup: Drummer (Jeremy Salken), Sax (Dominic Lalli), and a laptop with beats. What sets them apart from other shows of the summer, for me, was Lalli on the Sax. The blend of fresh beats, a steady percussion, and a filthy Sax makes for a completly unexpected surprise. Lalli will make you swirl with his funky instrumentals, as he sweats every drop for the crowd, bouncing back and forth between laptop and Sax. far and away my favorite show of the summer. Here's their big hit, a seemingly standard remix of the outplayed Aloe Blacc that will have you dancing your toes thin:

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar (Big Gigantic Remix) by Stoop Kid

Their album "Fire It Up" is also a hell of a production worth checking out. Here are my two favorite Highlights from the album:

Big Gigantic - High Life by DJ Pandy


Big Gigantic - Polarize by AlwaysHustle

The song titles pretty much speak for themselve. Both songs are very smooth but bumpin tracks to enjoy. Also be sure to check out their upcoming album "A Place Behind the Moon," which comes out a week from today, 9/1/10. For more info you can check out their site here.

        The dreaded First Post. I'm equally excited and terrified to slip into the world wide web of opinions and comments. But I'm happy to add my thought bubbles toward the ever expanding thoughts shared between knowldgeable and unknowing individuals. So here it goes:

Normally I have a hard time even putting a playlist on repeat. But a little over a week ago this tune hit the Hypem charts and I havent been able to put Lemaitre off. The simple but eclectic buzz it sends has become infectious, and I hope for the best with the norwegian duo.

Be sure to check out Primeval Atom and Unclouded Judgement as well: Primeval has a distinctly fun and pop-ish energy, whereas Unclouded contains an almost intriguing and hypnotic pulse. enjoy!
