Shameboy - Vultures (Highbloo Remix)

Throw this under my increasingly catch-all category of "dank", with booty bass and horns and heady nuggets throughout.

Starkey

So, have you ever heard of Starkey? Some pretty unique music, ostensibly of the "dubstep" variety. But really, it's so much more.
Dial up your sub-woofer, and tune this promo mix to 2:41, and enjoy the bass. The track is called "Holodeck", and when this EP, entitled Space Traitor Volume 1 drops on December 6th, it's going to TAKE OVER:

K12 - Get It Dirty EP

This just in the inbox, but it's some pretty dank bass and massive electro, all rolled into one. I've run into K12 via a remix or two before, but this is the first I've heard from them solo, and I like. The release, Get It Dirty will be available on Beatport starting this Wednesday, November 10th, but the whole release is available for streaming via Soundcloud - my personal favorites are "Bring the Bass Back" and "Gazoline".

Diplo (ft. Lil Jon) - U Don't Like Me

Oh hell yeeaah:

Heapy EP + Promo Mix WHAT?

So the gentlemen over at The Hats and Friends have started a label, and the debut release is by British fidget producer Heapy. Let me tell you, this is going to be DANK.

Here's a Soundcloud stream of the EP, entitled In the Party, and below you'll find a promo mix by Heapy himself. So dope:

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music (Beat on Cue Bootleg)

Alright, so the idea for a remix of "Play That Funky Music" (as in "white boy") might be a little bit cheesy...and the name Beat on Cue might be the biggest rip off of a name I've ever heard...but this track has a nice drop and you should check it out.

Yeah!

LCD Soundsystem - Home

The video for "Home", the sprawling closer off LCD Soundsystem's monster of a swan song, has dropped, and it's quite, quite interesting.

Beyond showing just how weird people in L.A. are, it's also an interesting treatise on identity and blah blah blah. Just watch it:

Boys Noize - Yeah

This sent chills down my spine at Electric Zoo, and now it's officially out:




Yeah - Boys Noize (Courtesy of Chemical Jump).

Sandro Silva - Told Ya

Nothing special, solo un regalito.

More to come:

LA Riots - The Drop

AHHHHHH FINALLY!!

LA Riots have been teasing with this song for what seems like years, and every sick touring DJ seems to have had this VIP...and now at last it's in our hands.

I'm, of course, talking about "The Drop" (Thanks to Discobelle for the head's up!)

Another Elite Force mix...

I think I stumbled upon something awesome last month with Elite Force's promo mix for the month of May.

Well he's back, with a summer time mix that ups the ante (and somehow starts off with the out-of-hibernation Godspeed You! Black Emperor??).

Dirty dirty dirty dirty DIRTY! Download it here.

Songs of the week: 7/2/10

Wow, it's been awhile! World cup fever has kept me connected to my Spanish-speaking brethren, but I've had a rough week nursing the loss of the Yanks - at least Ghana got what was coming to them today from Uruguay, in one of the best games I've ever had the privilege of seeing!



But now, for the music...
***songs of the week #33:
1. Can't Stop Now (Armor Love Remix) - Major Lazer (From Major Lazer's recent mixtape collaboration with La Roux)
2. Over - Drake (Oh so good)
3. I Died So I Could Haunt You - Stars (For better or worse, a pretty good feel for what Stars' new album's like)
4. Your Rabbit Feet - Wild Nothing (From their new EP)
5. Texico Bitches - Broken Social Scene (Especially apt considering that shit in the Gulf - same idea, different company though)

DJ I.D.

In the world of nasty Bass Music, there's a sick new EP out by I.D. on Sub Slayers records.

The individual tracks (via soundcloud) ain't too bad, as evidenced by "Mustang" below:

Mustang VIP by I.D.
But the real highlight for me is the attached promo mix, a flurry of dancehall and dubstep featuring the likes of Dubbel Dutch and Jakes:

June 2010 - Mustang Ep Mix by I.D. on Mixcloud

Be sure to check out dat MySpace and share the love.

Luv Deluxe - Cinnamon Chasers

This is quite possibly the coolest concept for a music video that I've ever seen, set perfectly to the music. Aspiring video directors, take note of Saman Keshavarz's impeccable example:

Wild Nothing - Summer Holiday

It's been a long time since "indie" music has captivated me. Ever since I went down the dark rabbit hole that is electro house and dubstep, every song I hear has turned into me looking for the bass, critiquing the synth, and waiting interminably for the drop - but I miss feel good pop fare, the music that makes you sad and joyful and wistful all at once without you even knowing it.

Wild Nothing, it's good to be back:

Elite Force May 2010 Mix

Thank god for cold e-mailing, as this is now the second time in a row that I´ve been turned onto something sick through no effort of my own.

This week is a DJ mix from Elite Force, ostensibly dubstep, but really so much more than that. You can get at it on SoundCloud - you won´t be sorry.

***Tracklisting

Jackbot - Axe 2 Grind

I hate to blindly push the tunes that I get from unsolicited promo e-mails, but this is an exception.

This Filthy Rehab remix of the Jackbot tune "Axe 2 Grind" fucking destroys. Buy it on Beatport and peep a preview on YouTube:

Benny Benassi - Satisfaction (Afrojack Remix)

WHAT

Jeuce - Flavour (FourFour Remix)

Stumbling around the internet I found this remix of Jeuce's single "Flavour" by some dudes called FourFour.

Why is this the most overlooked remix on the whole disc????? This is so incredibly dirty, check it out on SoundCloud.

Sound of Stereo - Flatland EP

What, dirty house beats?


Metric - Sound of Stereo


Flatland - Sound of Stereo


Hyper - Sound of Stereo

Thanks Dim Mak Records!

Mixmag - Crookers' "Festival Frenzy"

Back to back mixes here, this time from Crookers, whose mix is gracing the cover of the current edition of MixMag. It´s got a pretty nice flow, with a feel that´s at once amped up and loungy, giving hope to all of us diehards who pray that this shitty hip-hop gig is just a passing phase for Phra & Bot.

Tracklist
01 Douster Feat Spoek Muthambo - Punani (Arcade Remix)
02 Crookers - On & On
03 Oliver $ - Ginger Ale
04 Savage Skulls Feat Robyn - Bad Gal (Crookers Remix)

Africa baby. To celebrate, a gift or two for you.
