All Wrapped Up: SnowGlobe Recap We somehow always try to top last year's celebration on NYE and for those who were lucky enough to attend SnowGlobe 2011 , got exactly what they wished for. Leading up to the three-day festival, I had quite the expectations for such a hardy lineup, but all were met if not surpassed. Besides the live acts, there were lights, drinks, food trucks as well as arts & crafts all nestled under the towering trees of South Lake Tahoe. It may not have been a winter wonderland, but the lack [...]
Also joining us at Snowglobe will be Texan Bass Monsters Run DMT . This mix was put out by Mad Decent and gives us a look forward on what we can expect in 2012. There is a huge saturation of filth these days, but these guys do it right. Gnarly cruching basslines and OG vocals make Run DMT a must see act this year at Snowglobe . The 2nd track is free and has tons of bass. Run Dmt on Facebook [...]

Every mix monday there are a few mixes that I've downloaded with no artist or mix name. I usually can identify them but this week there's a decent mix with a pretty bomb tracklist that I can't ID. Let me know if you have a clue.

Welcome to FWBA's best-of 2011. This has been such a meaningful year in music to me that it's tough to represent in one post. I'm going to be honest, this took me quite a long time. I wanted to do this year justice because personally, it was a total dream: living in San Diego working with some of my favorite artists, going to SXSW and Lollapalooza, seeing Dave Bazan in stranger's living rooms, Feist play a hometown show, saw tune-yards electrified show at Soda Bar clocking in as one of my favorite performances, watching Zach Rogue and my boyfriend playing [...]

So...I suppose I'm a tad bit late to the year-end-best-of-lists party but oh well. Josh already offered up his favorite tracks in the year-end best-of playlist and, while our lists have a lot of crossover, I thought I'd offer up my favorite 50 tracks from the past year. I've struggled with the idea of trying to put a 'best-of' stamp on anything I listen to based solely on the fact that I'm not all that comfortable with the idea of ranking all the tracks I love. This is more a representation of all my favorite tracks from [...]

Down with Bass Music? Then you're going to be super down with this song from RUN DMT, "Bass Drum." Parson and Lemiwinks are out of Austin, Texas and have been kicking out the tunes since 2010. Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass, Bass…. Download: RUN DMT - "Bass Drum"

Today I'm excited to give you an exclusive new track from a talented electronic music duo from Austin, Texas. These bass music producers have been carving their own path for the past few years. Well today I've got an exclusive christmas present from the group. The track is called 'Bass Drum', and it starts off with a cool mixture of drums and a catchy sample. It builds up, then hits you with a crunchy yet smooth bass drop. They really remind me of the Bassnectar sound, in a great way. Turn this track up, enjoy! RUN [...]

Когда-то давно музыканты выпускали аудиокассеты и продавали их за небольшую цену, как правило, не сильно превышающую себестоимость. Тем самым соблюдался некоторый баланс – слушатель не переплачивал за известность исполнителя и получал взамен тридцать или сорок минут необычной музыки. При таком раскладе, «Dreams» - лучшая кассета для исследований. Майк Коллинс выступает хамелеоном, примеряя на тебя то психоделический эмбиент, то ду-воп пятидесятых, а то и вовсе гаражную поп-музыкой, пронизанной историями, вроде той, где рассказывается, что кристаллы – минеральная форма жизни. Вдохновлённая The Beach Boys композиция «Richard» выходила на сборнике «Welcome Home» лейбла Woodsist, где и должна была появиться вся пластинка, [...]

Sundays suck when there's no Giants game to watch. RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just [...]

I was trying to think of some good tracks to post on Halloween, which was more difficult than I thought. So I just chose 3 fitting tracks. Happy Halloween! And if anyone is stuck on a costume check this costume , very creative.

Wobble Wednesday is here again! Welcome back! If you're not already familiar with Wobble Wednesday, that's okay - we want to make your first time amazing. Most of what you'll be listening to here is often referred to as dubstep, but can encompass all genres of heavy bass music. To quote bass music artist ill.Gates, "When you look at what some of the bigger dubstep guys are doing now, they'll play some dubstep, they'll plass some drumstep, they'll plays some breaks, some drum and bass, and maybe some dance hall." That's what Wobble Wednesday is all about. [...]

Run DMT - Romantic Some of you may not remember or even know this existed but remember if your tape player had a record button? You could record yourself talking into a tape pretending to be like a radio DJ spinnin' the hits. Run DMT have seemingly brought that same feel with Romantic , as if they were in their loft with a one input tape recorder in the middle of the room recording this sultry love song. This comes to us as apart of the inaugural release for the new Baltimore based label [...]

All this M83 got me on a serious 80s kick. "Midnight City" put me in the mood, and Hall & Oates just took it from there. How can you disparage a decade that gave us Michael Jackson and the Talking Heads?
