It Didn't Mean Nothing

It's finally summer, and with the good weather comes good vibes, good times, and none of that responsibility shit I keep hearing about from authority figures. When are they gonna give that stuff a break? It's getting old. Imbibe these tracks as you chill or, alternatively, rave face.

KanYe and Con$equence team up to produce this versatile party track, featuring Beyonce making the most (read: too much) of her vocal spotlight. But the real spotlight belongs to legendary ATL rapper Andre 3000, who kills the track with an irreverent flow characteristic of BasedGod and his retard rap while maintaining the intellectual and lyrical standard of Dre 3K raps.

Teams (Knoxville, TN) and Starslinger (Manchester, UK) have combined forces to create this beautifully lazy, sun-drenched, hip-hop infused track just in time for summer. Flip this on as you blow some trees next to any body of water. And be sure to grab their collaborative 6-track EP, "Mexican Summer" here. Bonus: hilarious video for this all-too-short groove, featuring a very helpful alien.

What is it with all these collaborations? Tiga and Zombie Nation combine to form the insane duo known as ZZT. Their new track "ZZafrika" takes a couple minutes to warm up, but once the fuzzily pounding melody emerges you find your body jerking uncontrollably to a sound which can only be described as "BNR-esque."

Electronically-trained musician Boy 8-Bit changes things up on this track, trading in his favored worn electro for some freshly-pressed tech house. This new latin-infused flavor is a great look for Boy 8-Bit and it sounds like he's been doing it for years. I have no doubt house legends like Carl Cox would have no qualms with throwing this track in a laid back set poolside in Ibiza.

Toronto's Poupon turns this screaming techno song into something a bit more palatable, while preserving the song's best and bleepy elements. But like the song say, you're gonna need a FREAK to get down with on this tech house groove. And for more AutoErotique sounds, come out tonight to U Street Music Hall for Dim Mak's Pickle Patch Tour to see them along with PeaceTreaty and many more! 18+ | $10 | 9PM Doors

Green Velvet makes it look too easy. New track "Millie Vanillie" is an instant classic, with a simple yet satisfying house beat, sassy soulful vocals from Russoul, and some atypical synth work to boot. This track will fit seamlessly into virtually any set designed to get asses moving.

BONUS!!
Here's an old school techno track I unearthed from flawless Boys Noize Essential Mix. The message is simple.

And last but most importantly... Get to twerk, there's a job to do.



SIR REAL

P.S. Let us know what you think of the new album art in the comments!

Deuces

Cee-Lo Green's single "Fuck You" has gone viral, and for good reason. Le Castle Vania gives the track a Bright & Shiny nu-disco lacquer. Look for the LP from this soul/pop kingpin in stores November 9th.
Cee-Lo Green - Fuck You (Le Castle Vania Remix)


Sick summertime beat on this Chris Brown track. The remix features very little singing and ill verses from Drake, T.I., Kanye, Fabolous and the legendary Andre 3k. Yeah, this is serious business.
Chris Brown - Deuces (Remix ft. Drake, T.I., Tyga, Kanye, Fabolous, Andre 3000)


G.O.O.D. Friday fell on a Saturday this week as Kanye dropped "Christian Dior Denim Flow" via his Twitter. Like usual, this track breaks into the 7 minute range and has tons of features, including R&B GENIUS Ryan Leslie.
Kanye West - Christian Dior Denim Flow ft. Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, Lloyd Banks & Ryan Leslie


This is a freaky awesome, semi-minimal track with a balearic feel I found on the Sound Pellegrino promo "Straight From the Spring" which dropped 2 months ago.
Myd & Sam Tiba - Next Novel


the Clubhaus
For today's clubhaus selection we're going old school. This ones from Bright & Shiny immortals Daft Punk. These two engimatic Frenchmen are in large part responsible for my insatiable love of house music and French house in particular. Long ago, I scoured every inch of the internet for their productions and was rewarded with this incredible remix of a Scott Grooves track. What you are about to hear is literally the fattest bassline in the known universe. Put on your dancing pants and check it out.

Sanity

See that? Yeah, I wasn't there.

So considering I'm the only member of the Bright and Shiny crew who didn't end up attending Electric Zoo, I feel as though I need to compensate for the copious amounts of fun I missed out on with some extraordinarily fantastic tunes. Acquiring these tracks was the only thing that kept me sane as I read the often unintelligible texts my ravin' compadres were sending me. Here you go.

Posting a Kanye track, especially first, is not something you'd see from me normally, but this one is too good to pass up.
Kanye West - Devil In a New Dress


Fare Soldi prove with each new remix and release that they are absolutely bat-shit insane, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Duck Sauce - Barabara Streisand (Fare Soldi Remix)


Scissor Sisters? Piano stabs? Dutch house sounds? All from Carte Blanche? I like.
Scissor Sisters - Any Which Way (Carte Blanche Remix)


Louis La Roche improves with each new release I hear from him, probably because he spits them out about every 5 seconds.
Human Life - In it Together (Louis La Roche Feeling Remix)


Just like La Roche, Hidden Cat's shit gets better every day. I am very excited to see how big this kid can get in the near future.
ArnHao - Oh?! (Intangible Fantasy) (Hidden Cat's Totally Tangible Remix)


Big Boi's Shutterbug is not a track I thought I'd see remixed by the likes of Jack Beats, so when I saw this one I had to check it out. Keep in mind, this is only a preview.
Big Boi - Shutterbug (Jack Beats Remix)


I don't really know how to describe this one. It's nuts though. I remember LeCastle Vania dropped it at U-Street (one of the few highlights of his set) and I went bonkers.
Les Petits Pilous - Goog


Big room banger timmeeee.
Afrojack & David Guetta - Louder Than Words (Original Mix)


I can't even imagine the chaos that would ensue anyone dropping this one in a live set. My brain hurts.
Sebastien Drums & Avicii (Angger Dimas Bambu Remix)


And finally, if you feel the need to cool down and relax after listening to the above tracks, please, do yourself a favor and choose this.
Washed Out - Feel It All Around
