![[PLAYLIST] The Best REMIXES of 2012 – Part 2 (July-Dec)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4809221_lg.jpg)
Man oh man. Could we be in a better world for fun remixes of great songs? Some of the old guard has been slacking in quality lately (RAC, where you at?) but new talent is cropping up in droves. Cyril Hahn practically made his name from that Destiny's Child remix. Noah Hyde is on the map with amazing work. Manu el Chino nabs his second spot of 2012. Too many great tracks. Get on it for the weekend and check out all the bands and remixers you may have missed through the years. And especially listen to that Years & Years remix. [...]
![LETS DO A SUMMER MIXTAPE with [RAC, Adventure Club, Goldroom, Viceroy, DWNTWN, Ghost Beach, Cry Wolf and Lights & Music]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4392381_lg.jpg)
When I first started the blog feature on Lights & Music last month, this mixtape was the first idea that I put into action. Wikipedia, in-short describes mixtapes as usually reflecting the musical tastes of its compiler, a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood tailored to the tape's intended recipient. Yeah sure, we've all made mixtapes before. But, what happens when you get a bunch of artists and bloggers to make a mixtape with the intended recipient being you? Thats what I wanted to find out. The concept is simple, yet I hadn't really seen it anywhere [...]
![[PLAYLIST] The Best REMIXES of 2012 – Part 1 (Jan-June)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4384372_lg.jpg)
So far, this year has been one of the best for remixes, making this list no easy feat. Speaking of feet, you should warm them up because they will moving in a second... (Artwork pattern drawn by a Lego Turntable robot ) 25. Toby Keith - Red Solo Cup (It's The DJ Kue Remix!) / And suddenly Toby Keith is not only palatable but highly listenable. 24. Y Luv - Never Touch The Ground (Gazzo Remix) / It's pretty impossible to improve on the original so taking it in a different direction was a wise [...]
![[PLAYLIST] The Best SONGS of 2012 – Part 1 (Jan-June)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4377375_lg.jpg)
Lets not talk about the fact this year is already half over. Thats just insane. About as insane as the quality of jams that have been pumping through TBE HQ's speakers these past 6 months. Here is the best of the best. Did I miss any? Did you miss any? (Thanks to Vladimir Bobritskiy for the album art.) 25. My Great Ghost - Plain Sight / A pulsating, haunting, and thoroughly beautiful journey. 24. Purity Ring - Obedear / Slightly creepy. Very ominous. Highly infectious. 23. Kitten Berry Crunch - Black and Blue [...]
Hello my pretties. Weather you're a music fan or a Dj looking to fill your Halloween mix, you've come to the right place. This bass-heavy mix oozes with that scary stuff. The stuff that fills your nightmares in your sleep. If you fancy getting your wits scarred out of you then proceed. Warning: If your face starts melting call a Doctor and no, that girl dressed as a sexy Doctor may serve a purpose, but that ain't it. Side note: Thanks to Figure for making this mix easy to fill.

![Joel’s Summer/Birthday Mix 2011 [Calvin Harris, LMFAO, Empire of The Sun, Lady Gaga, and more...]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3568473_lg.jpg)
Ahhh the wonders of summers. A time for great tunes, butterfly's, unicorns, puppies, summer flings, confetti birthday cakes, cookies and all your favorite things. Maybe most importantly, they're for Getting Nurdy and Party Rock Shuffling your faces off. This special time of year begs for a soundtrack. So, I thought, what better day to post something as monumental and life altering as my summer mix, then on the most important day of the year. MY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy. For more jams or by any of these artists use the ‘tags’ links [...]
![[MILESTONE] The Burning Ear’s 1000th post! A Celebration Mix!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3526263_lg.jpg)
Wow. Another mind-bending milestone in the TBE saga. 1000 is a big number but in the grand scheme of things it will only be the tip of the iceberg. Running this site for the past 28 months has been an honor and privilege and we all look forward to dropping more sweet jams for a long time to come. For now lets celebrate with a little mixtape I put together below. There is a theme in there somewhere... There are some potential changes to the site underway but until I get a breather from work I won't be [...]
![[MIX] SPRING, MY BELLE! /// A TBE Mix For Exploding Into Springtime](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3380860_lg.jpg)
After months of gazing out the window and cursing the wintery grey sky we have finally been blessed with the warmth that thaws the bones in a most electric way. This is a mix for celebrating that moment that you open your front door and are slammed with the blinding sunshine that sparks your insides and makes you want to skip all the way to wherever you are going. I've kept in lean and mean at under an hour so add your own tracks as needed. Enjoy with reckless abandon. [Thanks to TBE reader Scdance for suggesting [...]
