Just stare at this tracklist and try not to say "holy shit". Go ahead. We'll give you a second or two. According to Beatport , the Canadian-born Deadmau5 (nee Joel Zimmerman) is apparently the "most influential, forward-thinking and relevant person" in a 2008 poll. And after listening to this latest of the essential mixes, they may just be right. Tracklist: 01 Deadmau5 - Complications 02 Deadmau5 - Sometimes Complicated 03 Deadmau5 - Bye Friend 04 Sydney Blu - Senses Of The Mind 05 Deadmau5 vs Jelo - [...]
Une belle petite histoire pour les amateurs de sites de téléchargements "peer to peer/bitorrent": Il y a quelques jours à peine l'ADISQ et l'APFTQ envoyaient une injonction au site web QuebecTorrent leur demandant de cesser toute activité. Faute de temps, de préparation et surtout de moyens financiers, le webmestre du site, Sébastien Brûlotte, acquiesçait à la demande et tirait la plogue sur QuebecTorrent, un site de téléchargement de fichiers musicaux qui était rendu à plus de 85 000 membres. voici la lettre qu'il a publiée sur son site pour ses membres: [...]
Pusha T and Malice aka Clipse return in high form with this track, produced by Scott Storch (he of the ridiculous-glasses-wearing species). The first single from the Re-Up Gang record, which hits stores on August 5,is all heavy booty bass and 80s handclaps, which makes for an interesting match to the dudes' usually druggy, bloody rhymes. The song's lyrics (the group's usual calling card) are a little on the awkward side, if only because we haven't heard Clipse do this much flossing without detailing the "how" (a la rap in the mid-90s) in a while. [...]
Only on the internets kids could something like this make the news rounds. Well, maybe just our news rounds, but whatever. Seems like reading this "letter" (it's more of a poem or monologue or rant or self-aggrandizing hater attempt) turned into quite an experience for us as we have no idea why this came about and really who Jay Escobara is in relation to Falke . We know he writes a bunch and shoots a bunch for RVNG (reviews and shit), but is this a review? Anyway, here's some of the what we [...]
Ireland's favourite EU commissioner Charlie McCreevy is responsible for the proposal to extend EU copyright law by 45 years under the proviso of helping 'struggling session players' to earn money when they're old. The proposal has now passed the commission and is on the way to the parliament. What does this really mean? Well, extending copyright under the noble cause of helping "thousands of anonymous session musicians who contributed to sound recordings in the late fifties and sixties" as McCreevy puts it, also allows record labels to live off these artists for another 45 years while simultaneously [...]
Hooray for more awesome mixtapes from the Swedish duo Dada Life . Hooray for freedom! And downloading! And, er, and, hot dogs! They killed it last month , and they're killing it again this month. Tracklist: 01 Audioporno - Choo Choo (Bloody Beetroots remix) 02 Kid Dub - Congo 03 Maskinen - Segertåget (Dada Life remix) 04 RQM - Miss Pacman (Oliver $ remix) 05 Joshua Harvey - Beat Bang 06 Dada Life - Cash In Drop Out 07 Greg Cerrone - Bullit (Miles Dyson remix) 08 Meat [...]
This coming Thursday at Hiro Ballroom, 80's heroes Yaz[oo] (Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet) will celebrate an afterparty (they're playing two nights at Terminal 5) alongside K.I.M. ( The Presets ) who'll be throwing down some records in a DJ set you don't want to miss and NYC's very own Heartsrevolution who'll be playing live. Get into it, even though we won't be there. (mp3) The Presets - This Boy's In Love (Lifelike remix) Godspeed!
We're not completely sure what kind of business model the cola company seems to be itching to portray, but maybe sticking to your guns is a good idea. We mean, this whole concept is confusing, ridiculous, and sort of unnecessary. Pepsi turns August over to the nation's DJs with "Month in the Mix," paying tribute to the DJ and DJ culture for contributions to the American musical landscape and urban lifestyle. The Pepsi DJ Division , an association of the premier DJs in the country's top urban markets, will spearhead the [...]
Hey guess what, all you aching for attention bands! The good folks at Rock The Vote want you to play their "Ballot Bash" show, which is set to open the foundation's DNC and RNC festivities this August. The winning artist/group is getting the chance to rock the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, CO (where Wyclef is already confirmed to be playing as well) on August 25. So, go to the site, sign up, get as many fans as humanly possible, and win. The competition runs until midnight on [...]
It's super fun for us to spotlight a track that has two acts that are both unsigned and totally should be on your radars at the same time. Both acts, Le Matos and Techjio , hail from Montreal and both seem to be riding the current wave of electro banging dancefloor-suited music that's coming out of that city these days. This track, the first from Le Matos (it's old), gets the grit and grim treatment from Techjio, plugging away with some of the sheen of basic electro but with smashes and squelches all over the [...]
Brooklyn's own (by way of Youngstown, Ohio) electro/hip hop duo ddpesh hit us up this morning with a new track remix they've just completed. It's quite a task to take on Diplo (himself being a master remixer and producer), but we think that the duo's work is sincere in intention and very good in execution. Plus, anything ever with Rye Rye is an instant "yes". (mp3) Diplo featuring Rye Rye - Wassup Wassup (ddpesh remix) Godspeed!
We've decided that in September we should totally just put together a party (not hard) where all of the DJs are only allowed to play remixes of "I Kissed A Girl" or "American Boy" or "Love In This Club" . What do you guys all think? We mean, what's more important than rekindling your love of a summer banger by listening to every single goddamn iteration of it? That's right. Nothing. What other bangers would you want to hear all of the remixes of from this summer? Oh yeah, [...]
Ah, the Germans in Digitalism . We first heard their name in reference to a remix of Tom Vek's wonderful "Nothing But Green Lights", but seriously forgot about them (aside from DJ sets here and there of course) until they released their debut recording in the 07. The Kitsune act, now more than a year after releasing Idealism , have been tapped by MySpace for a featured artist spot. Hooray for recognition. Anyways, this is all just peanut butter with no jelly unless we talk about the new Tabloid [...]
It's been several weeks in the making; attempts to make simple HTML work, using a minimum of Flash and some inadvertent strides into CSS land, but here you go: http://www.helensventitsky.com . Everything's in an IFrame. I wanted to make everything as simple and maneuverable as possible. The design as it is should make it easy for me to add on a bit here and there, and I'll probably get into trouble for the tag line in the bottom ("Lyrical sharpshooter"? What am I? A rapper? Still, it was late, [...]
More Tech BS. Yawn. Anyway... I can't believe this either, but there are actual folks who are very upset that the "Replies" tab in their Twitter accounts have not worked for the past week or so. I'll be honest here. While it is kind of annoying that when a "follower" asks for feedback on something, I use the @ command to respond, and I get no acknowledgment for my trouble, and it's because they can't see the response to begin with, I [...]

Froze Milano è riuscito, ed è stato congelamento globale in piazza Cadorna Vi riporto il video (per la verità già presente sul sito ufficiale dell'evento , ma come gli organizzatori hanno giustamente dichiarato, l'idea originali nasce dal sito "Improv Everywhere" che ha creato delle situazioni divertenti ed emozionanti grazie al solito strumento web-blog-tam tam.

Lo dico sin da subito che il concorso indetto da Mela Morsicata mi ha rimesso l'acquolina in bocca a comprarmi una bella tavoletta da integrare al mio già folto comparto di gingilli elettronici ( ), ma per ora visto il periodo di "magra", sarò costretto ad accontentarmi del mio fidato mouse.. Ecco quindi che vi propongo il secondo restyling riguardante l'header del sito citato. Ho dato un occhio ai loghi/header già presentati e non posso non esprimere un obiettiva invidia nei confronti dei grafici che hanno dato sfogo alla [...]
