Beach Jammin' Part Two


Well, I'm here at the beach with everyone's favorite PK. I wanna get back in the water, so I'm gonna keep this nice and easy. Here is a series of songs that you will love, then download. Yeah? Yeah.


The first song today is a nice variation of Animal by Miike Snow. Treasure Fingers dropped this at his show at U Street Music Hall Saturday night, and I can tell you first hand the crowd was lovin' it.


Where all my NSA brothas and sistas at? This song will get you movin' and groovin' in no time (give it 30 seconds).


Bit Funk just delivers delivers delivers. Kick back in the hammock and soak up the sun my friends.


I know I'm all over DCUP's nuts. But of all people, he's most deserving. I think we can all agree that Rainbows of Death does him justice.


Nightriders, a dance duo from Boston, comin' at you with some nice french filter house. Hell Yes.


Flashworx is an up and coming swiss/italian duo I found on SoundCloud a while ago. They recently released their first EP, Two Guys In Japan. Check out the myspace for more yummy 80's vibe disco/italopop tunes: Flashworx


Dragonette is hot and has a great voice. Thank you Fabian for turning this into a lesson on relaxation.



Now back to beach.
Love, Patrick

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)


Steve Angello - KNAS (JSK 'Shake Your Ass' Bootleg)

Remixes Galore!

Listen up chilluns. I want to let you in on a little secret about the universe. Remixes are always better. If you think otherwise, it's probably because you're a fucking clown. Now stop asking questions and steal the music posted below, because it's awesome.


The first time I heard this song was in the middle of an epic set by Tiesto on Ibiza. Let me tell you, this shit absolutely rocked the place. People - myself included - went completely mental when this song came on. Be patient and let it build up through the first minute or so.




I hate Katy Perry. That said, this HYPERCRUSH remix of California Gurls is absolutely 100% certified bomb. Like, nuclear-grade-bomb.



I don't really know much about Dem Slackers, but what I do know is that this next song is extremely Bright & Shiny and that you need to listen to it as soon as possible.



Major Lazer has always had a really cool reggae-feel to their electro songs, but I never thought they made it completely coherent enough to fully work. With that said, they definitely got it right on this Gyptian remix; the Reggae singing on top of the muted synth bloops adds up to a nice chill house song.



Ferry Corsten + System F team up for a badass remix of Lady Gaga's Alejandro.



This remix of a classic Fake Blood track is the funkiest and grooviest thing you will hear all day. It builds up through the first minute but after that it's straight funktastic Bright & Shiny house.



Shinichi Osawa is real cool. This Mustard Pimp remix is straight electro fire. That's pretty much all you need to know.



Dada Life has been doing great remixes for a while now. They're at it again with this reworking of Alex Gopher's Handguns.



MSTRKRFT and Metric hail from more or less two different ends of the electronic music spectrum. They find common ground on this awesome remix.



A-Trak's remixes are always sweet. This groovey synth banger is no different.



This Alex Metric reworking of a Beastie Boys classic is one that you don't want to miss.


HOMEWORK
If you haven't already noticed, I finish all my posts with a homework session. The point of these sessions is that I lower your defenses with a post chock full of wonderful music, and then proceed to floor you with some serious shit at the end, if you can handle it, with the intentions of broadening your musical horizons. This week's homework assignment is no different. The first place I heard these next two songs was in Space Ibiza during a pulsing, grinding, absolutely mind-blowing set by the legendary 2ManyDjs. Hope you can handle it.

Blatta & Inesha - Pet Massage (Elektropusher Remix)


Dada Life - Let's Get Bleeped Tonight (Don Rimini's Still Skill Kill Remix)


Oh and if you haven't already, meet 2ManyDjs;


p.s all of today's tracks are meant to be played on a quality sound system (car?) or headphones, listening to them on a pc or laptop is highly UNrecommended. Do yourself a favor.

If you want me you can find me in the 'A'


OKAY it's Saturday. Let's get things started seeing as there is partying to be done, it is the weekend after all.

We're going to take this kinda slow starting with a brunch of sorts. This Aeroplane remix of "Baby I'm Yours" by the one of a kind Breakbot deals out two full servings of funk wrapped in your recommended daily value of groove. Just snap your fingers when you get to a 1.25 minutes.
Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours ft. Irfane (Aeroplane Remix)



Lazy Rich's programming ability is evidenced here on an electro jam with funky, stuttering progressive synths.
Toby Emerson - Never Comin' Down (Lazy Rich Remix)



Culture has found this song to be mentally handicapped. That's right, this track is totally retarded. Things don't start to get started until 1:00, where you'll find the latin-inspired synth lurking in your speakers.
Da Hool - Meet Her at the Love Parade (Nom De Strip Remix)



New Weezy single featuring Drake. Consider this a warning: this is the Lil Wayne we used to love, not the one who's been spreading his rap genius too thinly as of late. This joint is thoroughly unreleased.
Lil Wayne - Right Above It ft. Drake (CDQ/No DJ)



the Clubhaus
So this is a new feature I'll be doing probably every post, but we’ll see how it goes.
Remember when you were a kid and you had a tree house and it was called the clubhouse and no girls were allowed and all you did was read comics and play Cowboys and Indians and other such ultra-violent, make-believe games? Well I don’t, ‘cause I never had a fucking tree house, who do you think I am. Anyway, back to the ‘90s pop-culture clubhouse reference—this is like that except girls are totally allowed and instead of reading comics all we do is rave our faces off. The Clubhaus will be providing you with the best of the hard, big room sounds you seek this holiday season. However, there are rules. The first rule of the Clubhaus is that all tracks must be played as loud as possible. If this rule is not followed you are to be found in violation of NAFTA and extradited from the Clubhaus, as you clearly do not belong and are probably a terrorist. Other than that the Clubhaus is your playground and the vanguard of unspeakably incomprehensible club music the world over. Come here for your fix of music that belongs only in a club, the kind of music that makes you say “What the fuck, that was just loud-ass computer noises!” the first time you hear it, the kind of music that shouldn’t be understood but feels good.

Both of these guys are totally nuts, so if you put 'em together its just not fair... Shit gets real real at 2 minutes flat, although as with all works of art I suggest you give the buildup a solid listen.

Wolfgang Gartner & Mark Knight - Conscindo (Original Club Mix)


Ignore that stupid electronic plunking noise for the first minute, vocals are phenomenal.

Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk (Laidback Luke Remix)



Stuck somewhere between progressive and electro house Sidney Samson found this hybrid banger.

Sidney Samson - Panorama (Original Mix)



Treasure Fingers

Atlanta born DJ and producer Treasure Fingers is in town tonight for a set at U Street Music Hall. I've loved this man's particular brand of house music for about three years now, its sure to be a good time.

BONUS!!
Treasure Fingers - Cross the Dancefloor


Diamond Cut - Teardrops (Treasure Fingers Filter Disco Edit)




Shouts to PK, its a motherfucker's birthday. Do it big tonight.
