Congratulations to DJ FEZ for winning this weeks installment of our Monday Mix Contest. The D.C natives have now won the last two Monday Mix competitions. Where are our New Yorkers at?! You can never have a bad mix when you start off with The M Machine's remix to Madeon's 'The City'. That set the vibe immediately into what would be a mix filled with all types of genres to appeal to many different listeners. From Jeremy Olander to Dubvision, DJ FEZ knows how to incorporate all angles to make a great mix for a party, pregame, or [...]
Congratulations to this weeks Monday Mix winner, DJ Brad Piff. The Washington D.C native brings an all out perfect hour with a solid mix of the hottest tracks today, with some great mashups in there. Brad Piff has used these songs as trademarks to his sets around DC clubs in the past few months, and we might want to get down there to check him out. He even threw some old school Motorcycle in there to cap off a fantastic hour. His track 'Sander van Doorn vs. GTA - Energizer Shake (Brad Piff Bootup)' can only be described as filthy. [...]
Congratulations to Stephanie K AKA DejaNYC for winning this weeks Monday Mix Contest. We always love to hear home grown talent, and DejaNYC unleashes some filthy beats with her 'Moombahousetrapmuzik Mixtape'. Ranging from Hot Since 82 to Skrillex, DejaNyc gives you a flawless mix with smooth transitions and heavy hitting beats that you can jam out to on your case of the Mondays.

Here's my latest mix - a live set I performed at Natt Spil Lounge in Madison, WI a few weeks ago. I love DJing at Natt Spil - it's a true DJ's venue, where DJs experiment with new songs, techniques and combinations 7 nights a week. Its a great venue for me, as I can mix a range of downtempo and uptempo styles over the course of 4 hours. This live set starts with some atmospheric downtempo dub, a quick transition into chilled out trip hop, then into a mix of international fusion and electronic genres of varied tempo, and [...]
This is one of my favorite mixes of all time. Mikey Dubs dropped this back in 2008 and I'd say it was pretty eye-opening for me in terms of the spectrum of dub and reggae. This mix is deep, chilled and dubby and as near to perfect mix composition as you can get (in my humble opinion). Here's the tracklisting, it includes downtempo tracks from a lot of artists who have really blown up in the DJ scene since, included [...]
Today's Monday Mix is another of my own - recently recorded during a live mix session at my friend's urbanwear store KULTUREZ in Cambridge, MA. Whenever I visit Boston (where I got my DJ start), I swing by and play a set at the store. The store specializes in Boston-local urbanwear - mostly graphic tees with a street sense along with being a hub for the graffiti, hip hop and breaking crews in Boston. Check out the mix - this one is more chilled out hip hop and reggae oriented, with a dose of Downbeatscape eclecticism (is that a word?). [...]

My latest mix, "Shiver," was developed exclusively for the BeantownBoogiedown.com August Podcast - a Boston web site dedicated to DJ and dance culture. Nick Minieri, the founder behind Beantown Boogiedown, writes, photographs and shares the sounds of the scene in Boston and the east coast. He asked Downbeatscape/EROK to develop a downtempo dance oriented mix to feature as his August podcast. This mix wavers between the depths of deep downtempo electronic and 140BPM bass, giving it a quality that allows the listener to chillout or get up and move. Checkout the Podcast here [...]
I've been delinquent on sharing great downtempo music, but I'm back! Travel can do that to ya - which is nice though, because sometimes we all need a respite from posting/tweeting/facebooking/e tc. to focus on spending a bit more time offline. So with that, I come back w/ a great downtempo mix that's all about celebration: the latest Properly Chilled Propercast by Brandon, a fellow downtempo afficionado who runs ProperlyChilled.com. Brandon really has his ear to the ground in all styles of downtempo and chilled party music, and his "Propercasts" always feature the latest and greatest downtempo - he is a [...]
We took a couple weeks off from the Monday Mix but we're back in full swing! This week we're featuring Yawn John, a local DJ who I'm sure all of you have seen play at one point or another. He's been DJing a wide spectrum of genres for the past 5 years and is currently a resident at the No Rush weekly at No Fun in the L.E.S. every Thursday night. He's opened up the likes of Jantsen and most recently Baauer, with some more big shows on the horizon. Keep an eye out for him in the [...]
Ninja Tune's monthly Solid Steel online radio show is always a fantastic mix of eclectic sounds. Coldcut, Ninja Tune's founders, always start the show with an hour long set that ranges from trip hop to funk to ambient, and then they pass it to a guest DJ who performs another hour. This month's guest is DJ Kentaro - a Ninja Tune turntablist (and DMC Turtablism Gold Medalist) who just released a new album "Contrast." Many of his new tracks are featured in his mix, which has a hip hop vibe with downtempo dance and dubstep elements, and a healthy dose [...]
I came across this great site: J'Aime Le Dubstep , founded by basshead DJ Construct, out of Montreal. The site promotes amazing bass music, ranging from Drum&Bass and Breaks to Dubstep and UK Funky. In honor of the anniversary of U.S. dubstep party RECONSTRVCT held this past weekend in NYC, J'Aime le Dubstep handed over its Podcast over to one of the party's founders - Brooklyn DJ True Nature. True Nature delivered an amazingly melodic and dark mix of tribal, dub and bass-themed downtempo. This is not a light mix, and it is not for the faint of heart. [...]
This week, the Monday Mix was done by UK dubstep and drum & bass producer Eddie K . Eddie K has a very interesting introduction into the scene as a driver for artists like Mary Anne Hobbes and DJ Fresh back in 2006. He's come a long way since then, having been signed to D-Style Recordings , Stereotype, and H.E.N.C.H. with six releases under his belt. In 2010, he released ' Serial Killa ', a collaboration with Minus featuring vocals from Beezy , which easily became one of the biggest dubstep tracks of the year. [...]
The Bohemian Club is a new music label I've been following since its inception. Alistairr - the man behind the Bohemian Club - does a great job showcasing downtempo talent via his mix series The Bohemian Club Soundtrack. In Episode 7 of the Bohemian Club Soundtrack, Alistairr ties fantastic tracks together from artists and producers around the world. This is certainly a chillout mix, with ambient elements and atmospheric lead-ins to rewarding, jazzy drum breaks and cool melodic synths. Definitely listen for a chilled evening - you won't be disappointed. Plus, check out two other dub songs [...]
This week the Monday Mix was done by Sadam, Point, and Murfy aka the Croydon, South London-based three-piece dubstep outfit that is Mutated Mindz . So far, 2012 has been a pretty busy year for them with the release of two EPs: their ' Freak Train EP ' was released on BassClash Records in January, followed by their ' Brown Sugar EP ' which was released last month on Sub Freq. They've been getting loads of plays on Kiss 100 and have collaborated with the likes of Lost, Hizzle Guy, Stinkahbell, Dubfreq, and more. They're also currently [...]
Nappy Riddem (Fort Knox Recordings) is a reggae-funk band that's always on my radar because of their roots in D.C. downtempo culture. Their members work with legendary D.C. bands and artists like Thievery Corporation, Thunderball, Fort Knox Five, and See-I. This mix is from one of their members - Rex Riddim - and showcases his love of Brazilian beats combining samba and drum & bass. It truly is a chillout rasta mix laced with drum&bass energy. Many thank to Fort Knox Recordings and Andrew Cerutti (2Tuff Productions) for always sharing great music! [...]
This week, the Monday Mix was done by NYC-based moombah production duo Sazon Booya aka Mr. Vega and DJ SAV. Over the past year and a half, Sazon Booya has really exploded onto the scene with early support from the likes of Dave Nada, Munchi, Skrillex, Heartbreak, and more. In July of 2011, they released their debut ' La Bomba ' EP on Rot10 Musik with tracks reaching as high as #14 on the Beatport top 100. Since then, they've had 15+ releases including their ' Moonlight ' EP which reached #4 on the Beatport Top [...]
This Monday Mix is one of my own. "Ebb Glitch Flow Repeat" is my latest mix and starts with an atmospheric intro that crescendos into melodic bass, dub and glitch-oriented downtempo music that pushes the intersection of chillout and dance. When I create mixes, I start with a theme - this one being particularly deep and glitchy. I also treat every mix like a story with an introduction, peaks and valleys, and emotional components, delivering an experience that isn't complete without hearing how the entire mix works together. This mix features artists from Cut Music, Pretty [...]
This week, the Monday Mix was done by UK dubstep and bass music producer Dubfreq . At just 24 years old, Dubfreq is getting loads of support from the likes of Benga, Hatcha, MistaJam, N-Type, Distance, Cookie Monsta, Dream, Dismantle, Stinkahbell, Unitz, Benton, etc; as well as plays on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1 Xtra, Kiss 100, Choice FM, Rinse FM, Dubstep FM London, Rood FM, and more. He's also had some really notable collaborations with the Dream , and Mutated Mindz , just to name a few. Keep an eye and an ear out for [...]
Here's a great downtempo, bass-heavy mix to get you through the week - Compa's Lucid Mix for WEARELUCID.NET . Compa is a UK based DJ and producer who is gaining traction as a future garage trailblazer, creating bass heavy dubs that are equally deep, penetrating and energizing. This mix starts early with some hip hop and reggae, introducing you to the bass rhythms that he progressively drops lower and deeper throughout the set with his own original tracks. Check more Compa on Soundcloud , every Wednesday from 2-4 PM on Sub.FM , and [...]
