It's Over

Well it's been a long week, what with midterms and Augustus' harddrive being fried, leaving him out of the rotation temporarily. But, that's all behind us now; it's about time we get to enjoying ourselves.

Chaz Bundick is back as Toro Y Moi and this time instead of sounding like excited pop-soul, he has trimmed the fat, resulting in a more mature approach. "New Beat" sounds like future-disco in all the right ways.
Toro Y Moi - New Beat


Bart B More's back at it again, manipulating classically house vocals and knowing exactly which synths to use to make the dance floor purr. Speaking of which, if you're in the Chicagoland area and are of 21 years of age (or have an impeccable fake ID), be sure to get to the Mid tonight to see Bart B More and Tinie Tempah!
Skydrive ft. Linda Newman - I Know Better (Bart B More Remix)


Two HUGE progressive house jams, the first from Swede John Dahlback and the second from the combined, prodigious talents of Thomas Gold and Axwell.
Benny Benassi ft. T-Pain - Electroman (John Dahlback Remix)

Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers - Blow Up (Thomas Gold vs. Axwell Remix)


Bass Kleph kicks it balearic-style on this one, with intriguing relapses into classical strings before the drop. Try this one on for size when you need some deepness.
Moguai, Westbam - Original Hardcore (Bass Kleph Remix)


IT'S FFRRIIDDAAYY



SIR REAL

I'm baaaack

Sorry for the lapse between today and my last post, but my brief time off has given me the chance to snag some great new tunes for you all. Today's post is gonna be a bit of mix-up. I've got songs you can groove to and songs you can snooze to. And songs that will melt your face. Enjoy.

Anything bearing either A-Trak's name or Armand Van Helden's is something to check out immediately. Together, it's almost too much. The two have combined forces recently under the moniker Duck Sauce to produce some incredible house. Look out for them in the future.

Duck Sauce - aNYway


Duck Sauce - You're Nasty


Toro Y Moi continues to produce the most chill-inducing sounds one can find on the internet

Toro y Moi - Low Shoulder


More Miami Horror is always a good thing. I love it when these guys play with that disco house style.

Miami Horror - Holidays


Ocelot's been pumping out some serious dance tunes recently, this is no exception. Check out their EP: Our Time

Ocelot - Vincent's Theme removed by request


So here's the part where you need to make sure your brain is securely fastened to the inside of your skull.

Luciana, Sydney Samson, and Itakuba - I Like That (Spryte Bootleg)


Break this out at your next party. Watch what happens.

Kid Sister - Right Hand High (Riton Vocal Rub)


One doesn't necessarily associate Bag Raiders with big club room bangers. Thanks Harvard Bass!

Bag Raiders - Way Back Home (Harvard Bass Remix)


There you go.

Beach Jammin'

I LOVE the beach. Who doesn't? But there's one thing I never leave behind when I drag my ass to the shoreline: music. I've got plenty of it for you all today, from songs that'll root you to your chairs as the tide ebbs and flows, to songs that will simply make you wanna throw down. So, here you go.

Goin with the beach theme here, "Stylo" comes off of the relatively new Gorillaz album Plastic Beach. Alex Metric turns the whole song upside down, transforming it into 6 minute long disco romp.
Gorillaz - Stylo (Alex Metric Remix)


Sink into the sand with this gem of a remix from Toro y Moi
Tegan & Sara - Alligator (Toro y Moi Remix)


Hailing from Long Beach, CA, LBCK bring the funk with some disco inspired chops and cuts.
LBCK - Start


Jam on your towels to this remix from UNC student Hidden Cat.
Housse de Racket - Oh Yeah! (Hidden Cat Remix)


I remember "Pump up the Jam" from a now very old Jock Jams CD. I dug it back then, dig the Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike remix even more. This one'll get things started.
Technotronic - Pump up the Jam (Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike Crowd Is Jumping Mix)


And now, I give you these two hot n' fresh bangers. Steve Angello brings the noise with this original. JSK adds some booty shakin vocals from Lil' Jon. I'll let you decide which one you would like to melt your face.
Steve Angello - KNAS (Original Mix)
