O.K. Two posts. One day. Definitely a sign that I'm spending way too much time on the computer RSVPing for South By parties. Anyways, DJ Jayceeoh released his second Super 7 mix today. This time around he's got six great DJs (or crews) in tow. Just like last time. Hence "7." Included in the mix are Panda Toes favorites Fashen and Excel . Each and every one of these dudes is nasty, so don't sleep on this mix. Seriously. Peep: V/A - DJ Jayceeoh Presents: Super 7 Volume 2 Feat. [...]
- DJ JAYCEEOH Presents SUPER 7 Vol. 2 feat DJ's FASHEN, ILLO, SPIDER, EXCEL, BLADERUNNERS, VIN SOL - DJ JAYCEEOH Presents SUPER 7 Vol. 2 feat DJ's FASHEN, ILLO, SPIDER, EXCEL, BLADERUNNERS, VIN SOL
The fact that I've more or less stopped reading blogs coupled with my general apathy has led to a serious dearth of posts here on Panda Toes. But every once in a while a big track from a big name drops and I just can't help but post it. This time around it's Simian Mobile Disco's "Synthesise." Dudes were (predictably) one of the first electronic acts I was into, and to this day I still try to find ways to include their "It's the Beat" in my sets. Tired? Maybe. Still awesome? Yea, definitely. Anyways, fellow [...]
I'm sure 100% of the Panda Toes readership is familiar with Fever Ray . Half of the Knife , etc. What's more, you've probably caught wind of her latest single (the astoundingly beautiful "When I Grow Up") and its video . But what y'all might not know about is the Dan Lissvik remix. It blew me away immediately when I heard it a handful of days ago, and now I've got it for y'all to enjoy. I'd love to describe it, but I simply don't have the words (generally I don't write about songs 'cause [...]
Whoa. Whoa. So everyone who's ever written for Panda Toes loves Ocelot . It's a fact. Dan's didn't realize there was more to life than the Game and Glasses Malone until the Ocelot boys smacked him upside the head with their remix of Robyn's "Be Mine." As for me. Well. Have you heard their take on Muse's "Knights of Cydonia"? Crazy, right? Well today's our (and your) lucky day - one of the dudes from Ocelot (don't ask me which one - I don't do names) will be DJing [...]
Resurrected Panda Toes contributor Josh Stansfield may or may not have written up Little Boots just yesterday, but does that I mean I can't post up a track of hers today? No. At least, not in my book. All that tells me is that we here at Panda Toes are a wee bit obsessive. And let's face it - that's been obvious for quite some time now. So, let's get to it. The young lady Victoria Hesketh is preparing to release (or so I assume) two new jams: "Earthquake" and "New in Town." Luckily for us, [...]

We here at Panda Toes have been Calvin Harris fans for a long, long minute now. The summer after my freshman year of college I unexpectedly received an advance of his I Created Disco and, though I'd never heard of the dude, decided one morning that the album would provide the soundtrack to my trek to Warner Bros. It was fantastic. It still is fantastic. My new found obsession (and the obsessions of my fellow writers) soon led to a slew of posts; we interviewed him, attended his show, and generally hype [...]
While we're on the topic of giving big ups to Nick Catchdubs, I've gotta give credit to the Fools Gold label co-founder for beating us to the punch on this epic cover. We rarely go a second without dropping something in the way of Little Boots and this "Day N Nite" piano ditty is gold. Check out more covers from the British indie-crooner at her youtube channel .

Aight. So it's been a minute since I last posted, so I figured I should come back with something strong. And when I saw that the dude Nick Catchdubs was sharing a new track from his upcoming mix tape Wizard Of Kizz , I jacked it and got to typing. (And in case you missed it, here's the first mix tape featuring Catchdubs and Izza Kizza .) The best thing about this may or may not be the fact that it features David Banner . I'll be honest - I wasn't [...]

When speaking (blogging) about La Roux and her sure-but-steady takeover of the "electro darling" spot, it's hard not to draw on obvious similarities to Panda Toes darling Little Boots or everyone's darling Lily Allen , so I'm going to just avoid talking about her altogether and instead focus on my recent new obsession, Skream . The dude, along with co-stunner Benga , has been absolutely taking over the dubstep scene and introducing it to a new generation of listeners that are getting a little fed up with the current state of [...]

Long time, no blog. My bad. I'd like to say that I got out in the real world and accomplished remarkable things, but we all know that'd be an outlandish lie. Y'all remember the dude DJ Johnny Bravvo ? Remember his Kind of a Big Deal mix (see: below)? Well, the lad hooked me up with a gig at Austin's Pure Ultra Lounge . In the words of a friend, it's the kind of place where people "like it when a song tells them what to do." Which some DJs may not like, but I thoroughly [...]

I took in my fair share of shows during my summer in Los Angeles. And I'm happy to say that it all kicked off quite pleasantly on my second night in California when I caught Architecture in Helsinki with YACHT . Granted I missed YACHT and everyone else seemed to think that the A.i.H. set was unstructured and largely enjoyable, but still - I had a blast and left holding the Aussies in even higher regard than before (which, as you might have deduced, was quite high in the first place). Needless to say, I [...]

Though DJ Morsy's always impressed with his remixes, I'm unfamiliar with his originals. Or rather, I was until today. His tracks are always clean and well-produced, so there was never any doubt that his remix prowess would cross over into the original game. And now I have confirmation that the dude does in fact rock even without a popular track leading the way. Here he teams up with Koko Dozo (a resident at Morsy's Crooked Disco party) to crank out a lovely cut that's 100% original - no samples whatsoever. Like so [...]
