A residual track from the Database mix I posted, the Rory Phillips remix of White Lies ' Farewell To The Fairground . Haven't heard of either before, but White Lies has got my small but still existent alternative rock taste-buds going. Second is the Evil Nine remix of Alex Metric , the usual refineness coming from Alex Metric. Really enjoying this track. And quite surprisingly, the Troublemaker remix of Matt and Kim . Wasn't sure that Matt and Kim was even remixable into [...]
Before I start on the mix, a bit of a sad day yesterday. I went to AA and for the first time I couldn't name off any of the songs they played. Damn AA hipsters have outsmarted me. To make matters worse, I walked into Gap for no good reasons at all and recognized all the songs they played. What's going on? Is this what it feels like to be stuck in a previous generation of music? It doesn't matter, we shall prevail! If the music won't move with us, we'll move with [...]

Alright, looks like my cosmic demands have been answered by something out there and within days I was delivered great music to work with. And what says "I got what I asked for" and "Merry Christmas" more than Dan Aykroyd eating hairy Salmon. Classic Shit! First Hey Champ sent me a link to a free download of their WHOLE mixtape. Right now I'm listening to their remix of French Horn Rebellion - Beaches & Friends. It's just delicious! Also I will give these tracks heavy rotation in my gigs tonight and on Sunday. Let me tell [...]
Yaaay, Sasha is back.... Sorry for not writing in the longest time; just been a bit busy havin a day job and trying to make a living the good old fashion way. I know, I can't believe The New Yorker hasn't hired me yet either. Ahhh they can't handle the BZZZZZ BZZZZZ and WHOOOMMMP WHOOOMMMP anyways. Well, speaking of which, Jon said it best. Bit of a slump lately and people out there need to get back to the drawing boards and down to the basics because the simpler a song is the better it is. BUT i've been diggin [...]
jeremy dimmock I've been rather disappointed with the music coming out lately. It's almost like a musical slump, just not satisfied. This is partially a week-end update as I missed that post last week and also just some stuff that was mailed to me. First is Le Matos remix of We Have Band , I really can't get enough of that sound Le Matos uses. Last remix he made with Coeur de Pirate had a similar sound, and I totally mean that in the best way [...]
Date Released: September 29, 2009 Album Genre: Electropop, Pop Album Rating: 7/10 Dragonette is out with their second album Fixin To Thrill, which unfortunately I got my hands on a copy a little later than I had hoped. I wouldn't say that this album is especially groundbreaking, but I definitely enjoyed listening to it. There's just something about Dragonette and their ability to create great music. Unfortunately Dragonette doesn't seem to receive enough acclaim, really hardly any. Who needs mainstream popularity anyways! One thing I liked is that [...]
A mid-week update for you, unfortunately some of the tracks are a couple days older than I'd like them to be. Falling a couple days behind is like blog death, I should really stop traveling. Maybe if people stopped emailing me spam and emailed me just good stuff, in a perfect world. First off, I couldn't stop listening to this track, the Siriusmo remix of Chromeo . I'd like to hear them turn this into their own standalone track somehow, although I do love you so Chromeo. Surprisingly clean for a remix. [...]
Well, as promised I'm givin you Peephole's second EP "Cold Dime" which you can get on their site for free. I don't know what it is about this band, but they just sound different than all the other Indie acts out there...this EP is more somber than "Strawberry Told Me," however it is still very organic. Real music, y'know.. Anyways, sit back and soak in the music, you'll like it. I know it... Guilty Boat Black Topaz Good Luck, Mikey [...]

laurasteil mandymurphy That tonight's gonna be a good night? No, don't worry, as much as I'd like to, I'm not posting that Black Eyed Peas song. Completely unrelated intro to this post. A bit cheery, but the Buffetlibre remix of Dragonette 's Easy . It's from their new album Fixin to Thrill which I'm ashamed to say I haven't got yet. I'm a huge Dragonette fan regardless of how pop you're going to say they sound. The Mr. Vega [...]
How was your Halloweens? Unfortunately I didn't get a post up that night, as I was out, but I'm still going through mixes to post for the event (late). Although I didn't get any Halloween-themed mixes, I'll make do with what I have. First off is from last week, one of the bigger hits which caught my ears, The White Panda mash-up of T.I. 's What You Know and Passion Pit 's Little Secrets . Amazing mash-up. Second is from the Immuzikation mix I posted last [...]
Friends, Romans, 'Lectro kids....Salutations! 'Tis been a week since we last talked, I hope you all survived your weekend with only a few scratches and bumps. Send some feedback on what you were doing; let's make this site a bit more socially interactive... Alright, guys, this week you're gettin spoiled. I've received tons of good stuff and I am willing to exhibit all of it in the coming days. The centre piece of this week's posts is a Brooklyn based band called Peephole . These guys really caught my attention. There are a lot of so-called Indie [...]
I haven't posted about Immuzikation in a long time, it actually makes me sad that I haven't. But alas, a mix from Alfredo with 39 tracks in 15 minutes. When I saw that, my initial reaction was "this is going to be way too busy", I'm not always a big fan of mashup mixes, but it actually worked out amazingly. He was nice enough to include a very comprehensive tracklist which will come in handy cause these tracks are great. Basically everything I want to hear in a night in 15 minutes. Included [...]
Damn, sorry for being comatose for the last two weeks, I feel even worse about missing emails that people sent me. I definitely missed some stuff going through pages of emails, but luckily my co-writer Sasha was on the ball this whole time. He caught some real gems. But I will have more time now and I work hard on the blog once again! Halloween is coming up, there should be some awesome tracks that will surface for the occasion. Serious business. Josh and Kyle, also known as NightWaves or [...]
Does Tuesday really equal Bluesday? Well if it does for you then you need to read the email I got yesterday *all wit/suggestions/comments are credited to Cory Bergman*: "So... Today is Tuesday and Tuesday has no raison d'etre. If you're unfamiliar with the term, Wikipedia it, because it is Tuesday and you feel like ass, so you might as well learn something. To keep your Tuesday from sucking any further, I offer you art from Baron Von Luxxury via the Burning Hotels titled "Stuck In The Middle (Baron Von Luxxury Controls Everything)". [...]

First and foremost, I would like to say that I'm sorry for being a douche and not posting Part Deux last week, but you know what? I'ma make it up to you, beauts, by hookin you up with some real sicksicksicksicksick tracks... To start off, I wanna present to you an unassumingly huge banger called "Thango" by Swedish Producer and DJ Filip Le Frick ....and we all know what Swedish house means: Bring your Party to the MAX and then drop big-ass basslines!!! This what y'all serious DJs should do with this track!! 'Nuff said, this [...]
