Mega Post: 420 Edition

Tomorrow is April 20th. This tells me a couple of things. Firstly, it tells me that no matter what religious customs were forced on you from a small age, be they judeo-christian, eastern-buddhist,  or some form of paganistic tree-dancing tradition (hopefully),  tomorrow is the holiest of days. It also tells me that you will be in need of lots of good music, and that if you are worshiping correctly tomorrow you will be in no physical or mental state to arrive at this website or use a computer in any way. So, in honor of the holy season I present to you Mega Post: 420 Edition. Please use irresponsibly.

First off, Sublime is one of the greatest bands of all time. Definitely in my top 3. This is my favorite Sublime song, and it happens to fit in with the festive spirit.. (more festive selections at the bottom)
Sublime - Let's Go Get Stoned


This is probably the craziest song of this post. I don't know if you're gonna want to listen to it tomorrow, as it may make you go apeshit and do the opposite of chill, but it's simply too good not to post. I don't know how Botnek aren't a bigger name already. Every release by them is simply outrageous, and this one is no exception. Starts with a big sounding progressive house lead in only to drop into.. well you'll see. I could see this melting some serious faces in a dj set, like pretty much every other Botnek song...
Beatauceau - Behold (Botnek Remix)


On the infinitely more relaxing side, this Phantogram track is really nice. It's not new, but I stumbled across it in my itunes today and was really stunned by how beautiful it was. Definitely worth a revisiting.
Phantogram - As Far As I Can See


The 14th Minute sent this remix over to us a week or two ago and I guess somehow we missed it in our inbox cause I stumbled upon it last night. Anyway, this is an awesome,  completely fresh take on Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.
Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (The 14th Minute Remix)


New Mylo that he gave away FO FREE. Grab it while it's hot.
Niki & The Dove - Gentle Roar (Mylo Remix)


I don't think this is new, but that doesn't make it any less amazing. I've been checking out some more Azari & III recently and they do some really awesome stuff. Honestly this is like 1980s Chicago house... 2010 style. Try to think of anything better. I dare you. Seriously.
Azari & III - Indigo (Original Mix)


More Azari & III, but this time a remix from Prince Language. Similar throwback feel, similar pure amazingness..
Azari & III - Into The Night (Prince Language Remix)


Fools Gold gave away this Jokers of The Scene remix on their website last week. I wasn't digging it that much at first but I gave it another listen from start to finish played mega loud and I realized this one is absolutely EPIC. This is the second or third really epic Jokers of the Scene track I've come across. When I say epic I mean epic... like, makes you feel as though you're running through Mordor epic. Plus it's a remix of Mixhell so bonus points, gotta love Brazil..
Mixhell - Antigalactic (Jokers of the Scene Remix)



Festive Classics:
Cypress Hill - I Wanna Get High


Max Sedgley - Slowly (Original Full Length Version)


Sublime - Legalize It (Rarities Version)



Dre Dog - Smoke Dope & Rap



Beck - Que Onda Guero


Bassnectar - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Bassnectar Remix)


People Under The Stairs - Acid Raindrops


Binary Star - Reality Check


Redman - How To Roll A Blunt


Lil Wayne - Kush


De La Soul - Buddy (Native Tongue Decision Version)


As always.. Stay Classy,
Augustus

Noises, sequenced into rhythm

Ok so today is the first time we're using our new music player, let us know what you think. We think you'll really enjoy it, it has higher quality audio than our old flash player and you dont have to go through zippyshare. All you do is hit the play button next to the song to play it and right click---> download linked file to download the song. Onto the music..

This track has been blowing up the blogosphere, but not without good reason. Lazy Rich takes this Porter Robinson track to the next level here, combining grinding electro with splashes of prog-house chords to make a dancefloor killer of massive proportions.
Porter Robinson - Wildcat (Lazy Rich Remix)

I don't know much about the Canadian Lazy Rich, but this other remix has been in my library for a while and it's equally wonderful to listen to. He kind of reminds me of some older Wolfgang Gartner.
X-Press 2 - Lazy (Lazy Rich Remix)

After watching him literally tear apart hundreds of concertgoers at Hard Haunted Mansion, I've thought that Brodinski is one of the most exciting talents to emerge for a while. He's done a lot of work with fellow Frenchman, Noob, such as the older (but still really awesome) Oblivion Remix which I've added below the new track. Both of the two artists have a deeper, sort of techy, but also sort of dutch sound, that's distinctive and highly addicting. This new track they've done, Cajou Club, seems to be an evolution of the sound that was present on Oblivion. I like where they're headed
Noob & Brodinski - Cajou Club (Original Mix)

Brodinski - Oblivion (Noob Remix)


Speaking of Ed Banger, if we ever get around to making a best of 2010 list, I'm sure Cassius' I <3 U SO will be near the top as one of 2010's greatest set-closers. JFK has done a complete reworking of it here, twisting the slower anthemic ballad that it was into a newer, disco-electro fueled dancefloor monster. JFK has been really impressive lately, although it'd be nice to see some new MSTRKRFT every once in a while..
Cassius - I <3 U SO (JFK Remix)

This new Jokers Of The Scene track was released on Fools Gold, which was a little surprising to me since a 9 minute epic electronica piece doesn't really seem like something you'd associate with mr A-Trak. I suppose it just means the man knows talent when he sees it. Either way, this track is beautiful and expansive. Bright & Shiny approved.
Jokers Of The Scene - Joking Victim (Original Mix)


I was browsing around youtube the other day only to find this hilarious and kind of awesome video with a Dada Life song I was unfamiliar with. After a little research I found out it was basically their first song to get them noticed. It sounds surprisingly mature considering it was one of their first tracks, almost a little more controlled than some of the stuff they're doing now. Anyway, if you missed it like me when it came out, check it out below.
Dada Life - Vote Yes!


Stay Classy,
