I'm extremely proud introduce some more underground shit to y'all. Wax Monsters are dreamy Synth Pop group from Oberlin College. Following in the trail of guys like Teengirl Fantasy, they've been starting to pick up steam with the release of their new self-titled EP. I've been in contact with one of the members for a while, so I've had to opportunity to hear his sound evolve. And I gotta say, I was blown away with this EP. You've got the Synth Pop elements, along with some clear [...]
Immigrants! That's how they do, you know. Just drive around listening to raps and shooting all the jobs. -M Zzafrika (Gesaffelstein Remix) - ZZT ( GOLDEN BANANA ) A candidate for most exciting Techno producer right now, probably just behind Simian Mobile Disco. Every track blows me away, especially this one. Toot it Up (Feat Nick Thayer & Gotti Boi Chris - Nick Thayer Remix) - DJ Yoda ( Silver Banana ) Definitely one of the top Moombahton tracks out in [...]
Every single noun and verb in that sentence totally arouses me. -M Antigalactic (Mumbai Science Remix) - MixHell ( Golden Banana ) Let's go Techno! For Your Love 2011 (Stefano Noferini Remix) - Chocolate Puma ft Colonel Red ( Silver Banana ) Dancey ass House mix of a classic Yardbirds track. I fucking love this. Disco side of things. El Cuco - Nerd Rage & Sluggo Moombahton, or I guess they call this stuff Moombahcore. Heavy beats at 108, [...]
You do realize there's a finite supply of Vaseline in the universe. -M You've Got The Love (Mark Knight Remix) - Florence and the Machine ( Golden Banana ) Massive Tech House track bordering on Progressive. This shit is HUGE. I Love London (Highbloo Remix) - Crystal Fighters Techno with blipy sounds and chopped vocals. Selecta (Original Mix) - Afrojack & Quintino Dutch House, sounds kind of like Ayo. Prog builds. [...]
I like my dance music how I like my Fatty Tuna. By the end of this post, you will too. Introducing Market Price, a brand new duo comprised of Goj!ra and Valentino with one of the freshest original Moombahton productions you can find. Furthermore, Goj!ra lays down one of the best live DJ sets I've ever seen. This is some real live up and coming shit right here in LA, and you heard it here first, which makes me cool right? What would the DJs be without us bloggers. Nothing. They [...]
Hey, Jane! Gettin' a tampon? -M Personal Jesus (Eric Prydz Remix) - Deepeche Mode (Golden Banana) This drop, if experienced on a proper system, will result in a case of incurable insanity. Don't Stop - The Subs (Silver Banana) Seriously fun and dancey House music. Smack Your Bitch Up - Benga Dubstep. Yeah, it's kinda like that. That said, this is the subbier kind, not the BWAAAAA kind. Masta Blasta (Original Mix) - Dillon Francis [...]
Sir, that stolen lemur bit one of your prostitutes right in the face and she says she can't go to hospital because she's quote, tripping balls. -M Save The World (Alesso Remix) - Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin ( GOLDEN BANANA ) Alesso kills it again. Ravey intro somewhat reminiscent of Soulwax that eventually drops into a massive epic Prog track. Rock The Cashbah - Truelove ( Golden Banana ) Huge Beatport success for this one. Big [...]
It wasn't a conversation, Lana. I was just talking to my gun, not with it. Pretty big difference -M Can't Top The Dutch (Original Mix) - Olav Basoski & Gregor Salto ( Golden Banana ) Don't be fooled by the name, this track is pure House with some Disco and dancey as fuck. Metrum (Original Club Mix) - Fedde Le Grand ( Silver Banana ) Tech House banger. I'd love to hear this live. Drift (Original Club Mix) - Funkagenda & Adam K [...]
Like, a big sweaty fireman carries you out of a burning building, lays you on the sidewalk, and you think, "Yeah, okay, he's gonna give me mouth to mouth." But instead, he just starts choking the shit out of you, and the last sensation that you feel before you die is he is squeezing your throat so hard that a big, wet, blob of drool drips off his teeth and just "flurr", falls right onto your popped out eyeball... -M Heiress of Valentina (Alesso Remix) - Dune ( [...]
Hey, y'all. No excuses, I haven't been around. I'm sorry :( Moombahton is pretty fantastic. The genre was created essentially by accident during a high school senior ditch party, a cousin of Dave Nada's asked if he could DJ for their class and he obliged. What Nada didn't know was that these were not the standard house-heads he was used to playing for, oh no, these were DC kids who loved reggaeton. They complained that the music he was playing was just too fast so Nada had to think on his feet. [...]
"And, literally, the minute you turn 18, please call me." -M Cry (Just A Little) (Original Mix) - Bingo Players ( GOLDEN BANANA ) Woah, can't believe this happened during my 3 month absence. My favorite Dutch producers made one of the best disco house tracks of the year, if not just flat out tracks of the year. Raise Your Weapon (Madeon Extended Remix) - Deadmau5 ( Golden Banana ) Madeon shows a lot more promise than Porter Robinson in terms of production skill, but I'm still [...]
So since when did Feed Me blow up? I remember posting about this homie way back when I was calling out Garter as the second coming years ago . Anyways, looks like he's come along way, as was evident when I saw him on Friday. #Reviewtime -M For starters, doors opened at the Music Box at 11:30. Besides the odd lateness of entry, I was immediately surprised by the nameless opening DJ. He spun some super heavy Dubstep will noteworthy skill and even mixed in some Moombahton/Moombahcore/Moombah cunt to all of [...]
So if you've been paying attention to this whole Moombahton (pronounced moombuhtone) thing, you've probably heard of Munchi. In my utmost expert and always unquestionably accurate opinion, he is the undisputed king of Moombahton. However, looks like he's already moved on and just put out an Juke EP. What's Juke, you ask? From Chicago, it's like Baltimore Club meets Drum N Bass with a world influence. If you want to get official, it's a type of Ghetto Tech. You don't want to miss this if you're into B More / Dutch / Moombahton / [...]
Weird album cover/title. Do love me some Digitalism though. I'll be honest, haven't listened yet, but I've heard good things. If anyone's in LA, check out Canblaster on Thursday, Feed Me on Friday, and Goj1ra on Saturday. -M I Love You Dude - Digitalism Also, would still love some recommendations as to tracks I've missed over the last 3 months.
Hello, my lovely apes. I've been on a rather extended break for the musics, and it's been nice. I'll probably be getting back into the swing of normal blog routines shortly, so look forward to grabbing your every genre fix from this here blog. For now, I've got an exclusive mix from one of the best up and coming DJ/Producers in Los Angeles by the name of Flammenwerfer . I just hope that Boys Noize or Ado takes a listen to this kid at some point, and if you haven't heard of this kid you [...]

Ahh progressive trance, God DJs, neverending larger than life supersaw breakdowns, can be remembered as one of the number one rave recruiting genres of the late 90s, stereotypically dutch, unlike prog house it doesn't try to keep its cool so to say, its just full on scream it loud epic, these are OLD tunes, but tunes never the less.
