I have to give it to my new residence of Boulder, Colorado. They celebrate 420 like no other place I have seen, with an estimated 10,000 people blazing it up in the center of CU campus today. They take their weed seriously and it is damn near an official Holiday here as activists [...]
"Science-fiction like..spine tingling stuff." - XLR8R Sorry the music updates are so few and far between. Here is an artist I've been digging over the past few months and really fell into during my last listen. Mushy hypnotic beats ill layered. Brendan Angelides is a San Francisco based electronic music producer who [...]
Electric Skychurch I am new to Electric Skychurch, although they have been around quite a while. The band is an electronic or acid trance group based in Los Angeles, California. It was formed in 1991 by composer and producer James Lumb, who initially involved vocalist Roxanne Morganstern and percussionist Alex Spurkel in the project. [...]
I hated the first single off LCD Soundsystem's new album. "Drunk Girls" is an annoying track that left me completely lacking in curiosity about the the rest of the album. I wouldn't put it past James Murphy to have done that intentionally... cheeky little devil that he is. But upon listening to [...]
This mix is composed entirely of artists that will be performing at this year's Lightning in a Bottle festival in Southern California. It runs from 85 to 130 bpm genre leaping the ups and downs. Click the image or link below to stream/download the mix. Enjoy and if you dig the sounds, [...]
Recent set at the party Offering for Temple of Visions @ Area 33 in Los Angeles. First time using Launch Pad so its a little loose. Genre-jumping in the mid-tempo (70-100 bpm) range with an interesting combination of dub, hip hop, world and experimental/atmospheric. Stream or download and drop it in your [...]
I am surprised it took this long for me to find Heyoka. Dubstep can be too dark and aggressive for my tastes, but artists like Heyoka, Bluetech and others are hitting the sweet spot with music that is head knodding, atmospheric/psychedelic and danceable at the same time. The mixture of dub, hip hop [...]
I've been digging in the (virtual) crates to find new music for some upcoming gigs. Here are ten tracks in high-quality mp3 format that made the cut. Innovative and envelope pushing stuff across a variety of genres. Download the whole pack and delete anything you already have or don't dig. Enjoy [...]
I don't post new music very often, but when I do.... there is invariably going to be some new shit you've never heard and absolutely love. If you dig the tracks that I post, make sure to subscribe to the free email list to get updates whenever new music is available. Mmmm... It has been chilly [...]
A casual stroll through Beatport's top downloads in each genre turned up something peculiar. In the "Chill Out" section, 6 of the top 10 downloads were the same artist from the same album. That doesn't happen too often - must be a glitch. Well, there is a bit of glitch on tracks like [...]
If you haven't stumbled across them yet, Two Fresh will come as a welcomed addition to the music library of anyone that is nearly as obsessed with Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, STS9 and Gramatik as I am. Their entire album is offered for free download at the link below. Dive in and enjoy. Two Fresh [...]
If you are in the L.A. area, I will be spinning at set at the URB Magazine / Confluence / Hunnypot Holiday party this Friday. Gonna be a great event with BLVD, AdamandEvil, Mid City West, live art and visuals in amazing wine cellar warehouse space that goes till late. Get there...
Here is a sample of the music that I've been digging lately across a variety of genres. These are not necessarily new tracks, but many are new to me and have been in heavy rotation in my sets lately. Enjoy... New heat from Raekwon with Cappadonna and Ghostface Killah. A J Dilla production... MP3: Raekwon - 10 [...]
Check out this mix from San Francisco's Sexytime. Comprised of Sleepyhead (LowPro Lounge) and Mimosa (Muti Music), Sexytime creates layered crunkstep, with deep grinding bass, atmospheric dub and hip hip lyrics. It seems to be the new sweet spot, taking elements of dubstep and making them a little more accessible. Good for getting nasty or [...]
Pretty Lights was a nice find earlier this month and I can't seem to stop listening. Electro organic beats that make you nod your head and work equally well on the dance floor, in a downtempo environment or driving down the PCH with the top down. Buzzing bass laced with beautiful melodic samples and soulful [...]
Been a fan of Ooah and the Glitch Mob crew for a while. Also enjoying Ooah's new melodic side project - Of Porcelain, which I caught at the Bonobo show last month in Hollywood. As if performing and producing solo and with the Glitch Mob wasn't enough, Ooah has teamed up newcomer MartyParty to form [...]
SF Indie Rock Band that pops out and could care less if you're watching. Catchy melodies, danceable, rockable and worth a listen. Peep the band on the Music for Animals Myspace page. Below is title track of their EP. MP3: Music for Animals - If Looks Could Kill .
Check out the Lollapalooza player. Exclusive band interviews (pre-Lolla), with artists including: Thievery Corporation, Airborne Toxic Event, Lykke Li, Carney, Santigold, Glasvegas, Amazing Baby, Miike Snow, Zap Mama, Cage The Elephant, etc Lollapalooza related contests and promotions including ticket giveaways, fan correspondent contests, artist meet & greet opportunities, and autographed merch giveaways (pre, during, and [...]
My Friday night gigs go a little more mainstream that I would otherwise prefer to play. I am always getting requests for cheesy-ass hip hop and r&b that is heavy on the auto-tune. It was interesting for a second, but I've been calling out all of the autotune artists for a while and can't believe [...]
A legend has been lost, apparently to dangerous drugs that remain legal and profitable for pharmaceutical companies while they lobby hard to keep other (safer) drugs from becoming legal. It is a sad state of affairs when some in the medical industry continue to push and prescribe that shit, while natural remedies such as marijuana, [...]
