Ray Davies Appears at the Orpheum on Saturday Night I didn't get up to as much as I'd hoped last week, but did catch Julian Casablancas and the Happy Hollows at Spaceland. Casablancas didn't do anything to win me back, but most of the crowd seemed really into it. I'll definitely be at Ray Davies this Saturday and I'll most likely check out more of the Happy Hollows tonight. Monday 11/9/09 [Pick of the Night] [...]

Hi Yall, I figured id share the set i dropped on halloween. I was sandwiched between progressive house and dubstep and needed to make the transition to keep the party rollin. There was around 200 in attendance, so not a major show by any standard, but i did get a lot of positive support from the crowd. I came out of a set by F'n Danny Boy (progressive house), so im not sure what that cut is i mixed out of. The end it drops (had to switch laptops... need SL3 :( My server [...]

Montreal-based producer Tor's Illinoize is by far the smoothest use of mainstream samples on an album since Amplive reworked Radiohead's In Rainbows . Tor sampled tracks from Sufjan Stevens' 2005 LP Illinoise , as well as 3 of his other albums, A Sun Came , Seven Swans and Songs for Christmas , blending Steven's acoustic guitar, piano and horns with MC's Aesop Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), C.L. Smooth, Outkast, Brother Ali, and Grand Puba. For a free download of the entire [...]

Pour quelqu'un de mort, Toxic Avenger fait beaucoup parler de lui. Cela me rappelle quelqu'un . Ceci étant dis, j'espère qu'il n'est pas trop bavard. Les cadavres n'ont pas réputation d'avoir bonne haleine . # Bring Me The Horizon - Death Breath (The Toxic Avenger Remix) # The Toxic Avenger - Toxic Is Dead (Designer Drugs Remix) L' association de 2 talents vaut plus que leur simple addition. Bien que [...]

The seven-piece dynamo that is UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA are driving through Weed, CA in a fury to reach San Francisco this evening after killing it in Portland last evening at The Rumble: Portland. Tonight they cram into Harlot for THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO and we're still not sure how they'll all fit, but they'll probably take over the dance floor as well in more ways than one. Joining them is the incredible sounds of PANCE PARTY , which you might as well call [...]

Future Sounds is thrilled to be a part of the return to the music scene by UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA and their latest release, " LOVEWORLD ". We had them kick off our Rumble: Seattle party and we're absolutely floored by their live show. Future Sounds featured U.S.E on Future Sounds 18 in February of 2005 after hearing the single, " Emerald City " and downloading their entire record for FREE, long before Radiohead or NIN ever even considered such a concept. That DIY attitude has always resonated with Future Sounds [...]
Outside Lands week in San Francisco is off and rolling. Daily lineups and schedules have been set. You can start prepping your comfortable walking shoes and figuring out the best way to navigate Muni over the course of the weekend (let's hope more buses have been added this year, although you can always pony up some more dough for a shuttle pass ). Whether or not you'll be making the trek to Golden Gate Park this weekend for the music, the food, and the beauty, you can also check out the official [...]

mmmair : my-my-my : inflightradio : emilylikespolo : daisychainss : captainoo : Would do real updates, but currently spending some time with the family…and I forgot to bring my external harddrive. Ironically, after I do this post, my ipod touch will go through a drastic reformat and will exchange hands with my brother. (He's never had an ipod before. I figured a 2nd gen ipod touch is a good place to start) Anyway, here goes nothing: Sharon [...]

Last time I did a post full of old underground hip-hop songs, part of the reason was just to bring some of my personal favorites to the surface so they didn't get lost in my iTunes ocean that's constantly overflowing with new music. To my surprise, it was very well received. Cool. Do it again, right? Right. Here we go. If you missed Round 1, click here . Sidenote: I'm trying fileden on a few of these songs. Hoping Hype M picks it up. Also hoping it works. Amplive vs. Radiohead [...]

sounds like : K'naan, panacea, the grouch, masterminds what's so good?

As a follow up to his Mastodon remix Troublemaker thought he should drop this kinda dubstep(ish) remix of the Zion I track "Geek to the Beat". Trouble is a big fan of AmpLive's production and credits the original as a serious 808 banger. That's why he wanted to take his remix somewhere else and keep it hard at the same time. Now it features The Deacon of LA's '87 Stick Up Kids, gives your body a good shaking and geeks respectable. Mp3: Zion I - Geek To [...]
Troublemaker is bringing us to the dark side of the moon with his latest dubstep/hip hop remix of "Geek to the Beat" by Cali duo Zion I . The original beat by Amplive (one half of Zion I) is raw and uses the 808 like it is its job, but not Troublemaker's version. His is dark and deep bringing enough complexity to the beat to keep it interesting while at the same time leaving ample room for Zumbi (other half of Zion 1) to do his thing on the mic. As an extra treat to the [...]
The video for!BOOM! featuring Slug of Atmosphere, and produced by Amplive of Zion I.
Brand new video from west coast duo The Grouch & Eligh. "!Boom!" features an excellent guest verse from the one and only Slug of Atmosphere and production from Amplive of Zion I. Off The Grouch & Eligh's latest album Say G&E! which I highly suggest you pick up - a very underated album I must say. If you want an mp3 for the track click here ! Slug rockin the TC fitted.

Why? is an indie new wave act out of Oakland, Cali. This trio is something in the likes of grizzlybear influenced by classic folk and new wave. I know not the clearest of descriptions but I am doing my best. For those familiar with Why? you might be sad to see a departure from the hip hop indie infused songs of the past. On their new album due out soon it is a new direction and one I think for the better , that is not to say that I do not appreciate the old stuff but I think the [...]

Holy shit. I just finished putting together this Roundup and it's a beast! Fantastic remixes of Miike Snow, La Roux, Lykke Li, Phoenix, MSTRKRFT, Daniel Merriweather , and oh so many more. I won't waste much time here cause you people have work to do after the jump. Oh, and regular readers will notice a few new features. I hope they make your Roundup experience just that much more buttery smooth. Miike Snow - Animal (Fake Blood Remix) / My 4th favorite song of 2009 [...]

via With the time constraints that inevitably come with a new job, my podcast has really suffered. Well now it's back! Bigger and better than ever before, albeit coming just once a month instead of the usual weekly appearance. So for the first bumper edition I have some really amazing tracks, some that have already made it to the blog in the last 30 days or so, and a fair few that haven't. Pay particular attention to the remixes... Amazing work from [...]
