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

Lines and Form

 An oldie but a goodie, I've been dropping this one in some of my dj sets recently to a pretty devastating effect. Between Tiga's bizarro lyrics and Mr. Oizo's crushing electro style, there's really nothing not to like in this one.
Tiga - Shoes (Mr. Oizo Remix)


Some diabolical electro-house here from Canada's own Torro Torro.
Torro Torro - Knockin' Boots (Original Mix)


Mylo and Sharooz give Robyn a funky electro makeover on this one. (Cudos to Patrick for finding it)
Robyn - Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do (Mylo & Sharooz Remix)


Mikix The Cat really seems to be on the up & up. This original track is a techy dancefloor melter that highlights his ability to make powerful dance music using just the bare essentials.
Mikix The Cat - Hot Block


A change of pace here with a delectable bit of french house. Kind of reminds me of Fred Falke. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of name WebQueawry is through.
WebQueawry - Searching


Stay Classy,
Augustus

I love you, but I've chosen disco...

Most of you are probably in the home stretch school wise, or job wise. It's only a couple more weeks until you all get off for the holidays and unfortunately, standing between you and freedom is a huge pile of work that is glaring menacingly at you from your desk. For me, this means that my ipod and I are going to become best friends as I try and stave off waves of insanity with the smooth stylings of my favorite tunes. Hopefully these tracks ease your troubles and help to ameliorate your crunch time blues.

I am extremely pleased to announce that Death to the Throne has released another remix. Based out of Phoenix, US, this guy throws some maximal glitchy electro in your face for a truly spectacular listening experience. Supposedly influenced by Raiden from Mortal Kombat, don't be alarmed if your face starts melting mid song.

Metric - Twilight Galaxy (Death to the Throne Remix)

Bonus DTTT (:

Death to the Throne - I Only Have Eyes for You

Santigold - L.E.S. Artistes (Death to the Throne Remix)

Daft Punk - Technologic (Death to the Throne Remix instrumental version)

Dance music from Canada courtesy of Jacques Greene. Be sure to check out his captivating outer space themed video for (Baby I Don't Know) What You Want. Really digging the vocals and atmospheric synths.

Jacques Greene - (Baby I Don't Know) What You Want

Quentin 909 makes some of the smoothest bass lines in the land. This freakishly talented man has disco on a leash and never fails to please. He uploaded this little number to his Soundcloud a couple days ago, and I'm continuously amazed by how he can make something so repetitive sound so fresh. Anyways, enjoy.

Quentin 909 - Get Down

Here we have a dancey little electro pop tune that really gets you movin' and groovin'. If you happen to be in Australia, be sure to catch Strange Talk near you because they're currently touring down under.

Strange Talk - Climbing Walls

Bonus:

Great synths in this one. Fantastic arrangement overall, by Mylo.

Bryan Ferry - Shameless (Mylo Remix)

I'll leave you with Birdy Nam Nam O______O

Love, Patrick
