Foxsky - The Whip (Vass remix) - DOWNLOAD LINK
Jolie surprise que ce maxi signé Foxsky sorti aujourd'hui sur Jeffree's , petit frère du label Mad Decent . The Whip n'a certainement pas été fait de dentelle, mais The Whip a le mérite d'être mélodique. Ce titre single pourrait tout à fait être extrait d'un bon Zelda du futur, mêlant 8bit, dubstep et moombahton. Côté remixes, qualité et quantités sont au rendez-vous : on retrouve ETC!ETC! , The Reef , Udachi et les petits nouveaux du duo VASS sur un remix trap qui va décoller plus d'un tympan.
Mad Decent's Jeffree's imprint celebrates its 32nd birthday with a 5-track remix EP of Foxsky's "The Whip." Just like my five-year-old self - mainlining rails of pixie dust while playing Super NES - Foxsky's original is an amphetamine-laced 8-bit monstrosity, one that kicks and screams at every game over. Diagnosed with ADD but never treated, Foxsky dabbles in a variety of genres, putting together a blend of dub and electro at a moombahton pace. The rest of EP is equally unique, enlisting ETC!ETC!, The Reef, Vass, and Udachi for remix duties. ETC!ETC! brings in the deep toms and trap [...]
Oh remember when Daniel Stein a.k.a DJ Fresh unleashed his massive tune 'Gold Dust' featuring Ce'Cile/Ms. Dynamite back in 2008 and 2010? Massive summer anthem for sure. Now, the summer of 2013 he teams up with Diplo and Mad Decent for 'Earthquake' featuring Dominique Young Unique. Originally the production for this tune was used by Angel Haze for her diss record for Azealia Banks but now it has been tweaked around and I'm pretty sure this will be quite big this summer. It's not 'Gold Dust' but it's pretty addictive and 'Earthquake' is set to drop soon on Ministry of [...]
Kennedy Jones' remix of “ Suavemente ” by Elvis Crespo is crazy good. Hit play if you haven't heard it. Jones is turning into the toast of the town and this new one via Mad Decent offshoot, The Jeffree's wastes no time underscoring what “Came to Party” is all about—trap madness. Or as the folks at The Jeffrees put it, "It’s like a King Arthur jousting match on Mars with the coliseum full of strippers. We call it rodeo donk trap, just because. You can call it what you want." Follow Kennedy Jones on [...]

![Waves ft. Gent and Jawns [Event]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4935430_lg.jpg)
Waves is a party series that takes place in Long Beach area. Created by ARNTRE , the same people who brought you Trapical and Smurko from Shakedown. This is a very rare show with drink specials and more. Oh and we haven't even talked about the lineup. Smurko will bring you that bass, 2Deep will get you dancing with a girl, and then the headliners Gent and Jawns will turn it up. Gent and Jawns recent success with radio play and mad support from Diplo and many others has made them a [...]
As always, another week of Future tunes, UK Bass, Filth, DnB, and Trap. The filth is heavier, the future is less abstract, and the UK bass is more sub-oriented. I mixed up the drum 'n' bass section with a couple super heavy tracks and a couple chill ones. The trap is...well, it's trap. I'm still waiting to see where this genre goes and if it's really here to stay. Per your request, all the tracks are downloadable this week (except one of the dnb tunes). I've provided links for the lazy, but don't let that deter you from [...]

Not many can break through the blubber and get some shin in the world of club music, but by the age of 17, SWICK had done just that. With so many lack luster acts crowding the tinernet based music scene, this young Australian has made some amazing headway the past few years, gaining acclaim from some of the biggest names in the business. With an arsenal of releases on labels including Mad Decent , Top Billin’ , No Brainer , Enchufada , Sweat it Out! , (not [...]
Diplo's Mad Decent Block Party grows a little further expanding to a wholesome 13 cities, doubling since last year ! New cities that'll be on the receiving end of decent jams include Brooklyn, Detroit and San Diego. Although we don't have any acts announced yet yet last year's mammoth number of artists that included RiFF Raff, Zeds Dead, Dillon Francis, Claude Von Stroke and others should be a good litmus test for this years festivities. This year's festival will now be a ticketed event ($20 a pop), which may possibly be [...]
No one could have expected the "Harlem Shake" to blow up to the prodigious scale it did - from YouTube virility to the top of the charts. The success of Baauer's ubiquitous single not only spawned a thousand internet spinoffs, it also incurred a lawsuit for copyrighted samples against Mad Decent. Both Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson pressed the label for compensation over the track's use of unlicensed samples. Diplo , as the head of Mad Decent, has come to aid of the label's blossoming trap star, settling the legal dispute with Delgado and Musson and clearing the "Harlem Shake" samples. [...]
As we previously reported, Baauer was in some potentially hot water over two uncleared samples on his smash single "Harlem Shake". But thankfully for everyone involved, the producer's label head, Diplo, stepped in to save the day. The Mad Decent leader told Huffington Post that he got in touch with the artists behind the samples, Jayson Musson and Hector Delgado, and got everything cleared. Diplo said he didn't even know the song had samples, but once he found that out he took the right steps to fix it so Baauer wouldn't "be making negative [...]

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet up with The Flexican at Miami Music Week but he was still cool enough to give us an interview from across the sea in his home country of the Netherlands. One of the up and coming artist off Mad Decent , who is sure to explode over the next year, we got to sit down and talk Latin music and songs we wished would fall off the face of the earth in this interview. His sound inherits a lot from his roots, being [...]
