50/50 es una fiesta que con la premisa del baile como principal atracción, busca reunir a los primeros 50 hombres y 50 mujeres que lleguen al segundo piso del Bar Loreto, a los que se le entragará una pulsera para ingresar al salón, donde deberán demostar todas sus habilidades en la pista de baile. En esta edición se presentará en vivo Versus, la banda de Guerritas, Manu y Rammsy. En los controles estará el DJ XLarge. Tenemos 5 invitaciones simples para regalar entre los que nos dejen su nombre y apellido en los comentarios. [...]

Kaskade continues his self-indulgent trend with yet another mashup of one of his songs. In this one, it's the qualities of Example with Laidback Luke's "Natural Disaster" stand out as the highlights of the unremarkable pairing. Those aside, let's just say this track doesn't deserve to be on any best versus's of 2011 lists. Kaskade vs. Laidback Luke - All That Disaster (Kaskade Mash Up) by Kaskade
So yeah. No sleep till Mood-I. Let's not bother with a long-winded beginning. Karnivool were amazing. They played a set that would warrant inclusion among the year's best. If it wasn't for them, there would have been death at IIT-B's SEC. Allow me to elaborate. The Three Livewire Finalists There's a part of me that really wants to do a set-by-set review of what these bands played. And it's the same part that would endeavor to run a metal archives-esque Orkutcore repository. I'm aware that these bands are both young and impressionable, [...]

Versus est le groupe hip-hop soul-jazz underground du moment, composé de Shawn Washington, Charlie Keys, Jesus Crise, Donnie Bass, Ray Waterboy, Mr Big, Tchiky Wah et Bluce, tous musiciens accomplis, issus de la scène soul-jazz made in Paris. Leur premier album, à paraitre, Mr Blue est un véritable polar hip-hop Blaxploitation, racontant l'épopée d'un certain Mr Blue sur fond de musique soul et jazz, avec courses-poursuites. Sur scène, comme dans leur fiction, les musiciens de Versus abordent leur show avec des lyrics animés, dignes des films d'animation avec une approche hip-hop lyriciste et joyeuse. [...]
Over the course of this year, I've dedicated five posts Young Galaxy , and peripherally included them in a number of others, making them my second-most blogged about artist for 2011 (just behind Austra). This means two things: One, that I really, really love this band. Two, that they're riding on one hell of a year. Not content to end things with anything less than the bang, the band has collected its many remixes done over the last little while and packaged them up as a digital album. The result is Versus , a collection of [...]

Aren't mashups such guilty pleasures? Well, it looks everyone in the blogosphere indulging today. SINNERS The first track of note is an awesome reworking by 3LAU that vacillates between weird heavenly-sounding Mike Ponser and samples of Britney plus Daft Punk grafted against some good old fashioned Skrillex. It's demented and strangely catchy. 3LAU - Dubsex (Skrillex & Nero Feat. Britney Vs. Daft Punk Vs. Posner Vs. Amanda) Unfortunately, White Panda's latest versus is pretty terrible. I like the M83 single but I've never liked Kanye's "Good Life." Now, sometimes shit [...]

Zion I are alive ya'll. Amp Live put out a free beat tape and I'm still playing it. So, the emcee-half of Zion I, Zumbi, decided to drop his own music. He's quite the competitor, a la, Rocky 3, " I pity the fool, and I will destroy any man who tries to take what I got! " Versus takes Flying Lotus, Wiz Khalifa, Bassnectar, Little Dragon and several other fresh songs and gives them a new lyrical spin. Sounds a lot like any other mixtape without original production, huh? Maybe it is. Though, the cuts [...]

After over two weeks of no drops, we are bringing the Versus back, with this head nodding, body moving, shoe tapping bomb, right here. Knowsum is a young up & coming producer, only 18 years old, but with undeniable talent, we had to reach out after listening to his EP "The Most Awkward" at the start of the year ( check his instrumental EP, previously posted ) , and SigNif out of New York city, is one talented Femcee, she has been dropping bombs since last year, and we've been supporting here on Word Is Bond from the [...]

DANCEiSM 's own Ben Oprstu recently released his debut EP, Sprouts . The three track EP features the track Tooty Flooty , an infectious Techno jam that comes together extremely well at the drop. I can definitely see this track opening up floors around the world. The other track that deserves a mention is Need More Vegitables , this time an Electro House banger with wobbly influences. Good stuff here guys. Be sure to check out DANCEiSM 's new VERSUS night in DTLA with the GDD boys. This Thursday they have [...]
