Monday Minimix

Been a little while since I have posted a Monday Mix but this one I simply couldn't resist telling you all about. I recently discovered Daze, another musical genius from France, and this mix doesn't disappoint in the least. This mostly disco minimix, is perfect for any sunny day for the rest of the summer. Quite a few unknown songs on here with some more familiar ones from Breakbot, Nero, and Daze himself. Definitely worth a listen along with a free download from the man himself. Check all of his remixes which are featured on his Soundcloud.

Gemini + Feed Me

Oh what a week it has been.  With that bitch Irene on our doorstep there isn't much to do other than look for new music.  Luckily for all of us, Gemini and Feed Me have come along and given us some very tasty songs to hear.  Feed Me released a new track Cott's Face on the Meowingtons Hax Tour Trax compilation which also includes a new Deadmau5 song (a little underwhelming however).  I personally love anything that Feed Me puts out there and this track isn't any different.  I think the last 2 minutes may be my favorite part of the whole song but definitely check out the whole thing below.  Can't miss out on any new Feed Me.

Secondly, as we all should know, Gemini is releasing his EP Graduation on September 19th and has made his debut music video for the title track.  I think this goes without saying but this track is a beast as all Gemini tracks are.  You can preorder the full EP (4 tracks, can't wait for H.A.T.D. in full, best song ever) right here but for now enjoy this flawless song below.

Huoratron + Mustard Pimp @ Webster Hall

When I first saw this show announced I was thinking it was a maybe to go to. In all honesty, I have really wanted to see Mustard Pimp for awhile now and did not know who Huoratron was and didn't bother to look him up. That all has changed as I have received a first look of his new single Cryptocracy and let me just say I'm impressed. I don't even know how to classify his sound but it's pretty crazy and pretty sweet. I was told that it is considered "electro-grindcore", whatever that means, but it works for me. Give it a listen down below and definitely check him out at Webster Hall with Mustard Pimp this Friday, tickets are still available. Should be a ridiculous show.

HARD Haunted Mansion NYC

When it comes to EDM shows, oftentimes the best time of year for them are around Halloween for the sheer insanity that ensues. If you thought people dressed crazy for a normal show then just wait until you see anyone at a Halloween show. Of course, HARD Haunted Mansion normally ends up in Los Angeles with a fantastic lineup but this year we have gotten very, very lucky. They will be gracing us with a special NYC show on Saturday, October 22nd at the best venue in New York, Terminal 5.

The fact alone that this is a HARD Haunted Mansion show should excite everyone enough but take a look at the lineup. Skream & Benga, Dillon Francis, Joker, Gesaffelstein, and Destructo. If that isn't a lineup that has the potential for some spooky tunes then I don't know what lineup would. Gesaffelstein's deep techno jams alone make me want to kill someone every time they come on. The way I see it, Dillon Francis will warm everyone up with some bouncy, fun Moombahton and then Joker, Gesaffelstein, and Skream/Benga will murder us all in succession.

Tickets are located here and are available on Friday, August 26th (although I did find them here, available now but only at Will Call). Below are some delicious tunes from each act that I absolutely love. Take a listen and prepare to get all sorts of spooky in October.

Weekend Jams

So the weekend has finally begun as I'm sure we all know and for any of you going to Identity at Jones Beach on Sunday I will see you all there. There are plenty of new songs that have just (and i mean JUST) been released leaked. Found a bunch of them with Youtube videos so you can preview them before you go to download them. Take a listen to some new Avicii, Exphere, and Louis La Roche. All are incredibly good and right in time for you all to rage to.

Revolvr

Revolvr has always been on my radar but I have never found something I really have LOVED from him. That has now changed after hearing him test his hand at some chillstep. Chill dubstep might be my favorite genre for when I'm not attempting to go out and party and no one really realizes that it's actually still dubstep. Sorry, it's not Skrillex, and I personally feel that it is better than Skrillex and filth dubstep in many ways. More melodic and relaxing than certain power tool noises with strong drums behind them. But I guess each has its time and place to be played. Take a listen below to the newest Revolvr remix of Florence and the Machine, its definitely a keeper. Follow him on Facebook for some free downloads.

We Love Remixes

Well, we actually do love remixes here but these are both for the actual song "We Love" by Sneaky Sound System. I really am not sure which I like better out of these but if you know any other jams by Bart B More or Pleasurekraft then you pretty much know what to expect below. Bart brings his fast pace to the track with a great synth line coupled with great use of vocals. Pleasurekraft keeps it pretty chill and tech house-ish, keeping true to their normal sound. Take a listen below but it really depends on my mood as to which I like better.

Summer Chill Time

Well despite today being a crappy day all around in NY, I feel the need to post this very chill summer jam which has been circulating for a couple months now. Pretty Lights always kills it but this is one of the best chill poolside songs of the summer. I really can't get enough of it and if I had a pool to go to I would grab a drink, sit back, and bump this. I also have posted 2 other poolside jams just for these last few weeks of summer. One is a classic that everyone must hear but the other is a newer remix of Katy Perry that I have grown fond of. So sit back, have a listen, and relax.

Deadmau5 Mix

The Ministry of Sound is celebrating it's 20 years of existence by giving out 20 mixes from their top 20 DJ's over the years. To start it all off, they are giving out Deadmau5' mix from the DJ Mag Top 100 Awards last year. Although this mix may be old, it is definitely worth a listen as all the Mau5 classics make the cut along with some other interesting choices (although if you follow Mau5 closely you have probably heard most on here). I for one can't wait for his 5 nights of chaos here in New York at the beginning of October as I have tickets for 2 of them already. I strongly recommend checking him out if you haven't gotten tickets already as he will be putting on a brand new live show (which I believe is being fully unveiled tonight in Vancouver). Can't wait to see him back at Roseland for a night (or 2 or 3) that no one will forget.

New Jack Beats

It's been awhile since we've heard much of anything from the Jack Beats crew but they have recently posted a new remix of the Aloe Blacc song Green Lights on their Soundcloud. No free download but it's worth checking out as they will be at Electric Zoo and are definitely one of the must see acts there. Trust us, they always bring the house down without fail.

Aloe Blacc: Green Lights (JACK BEATS REMIX) by Jack Beats

In addition, I have posted one of my favorite songs by them in general, I Got You Dancing (Jack Beats Remix) by Lady Sovereign. It's pretty old but it's definitely a classic that everyone should have available to them. Enjoy.

TAI returns!

TAI has just released a FREE DOWNLOAD of his autumn mix!  If you heard his summer mix he gave out back in May than you already know this dude has some serious talent.  This one features some amazing techno from the likes of Gessafelstein, Djedjotronic and an unreleased monster from TAI and Bart B More.  Once again his excellent mixing skills show why he is one of the producers to keep an eye on. Enjoy

As an added bonus we have included one of our favorite tracks on the mix for download below!

Dillon Francis @ Brooklyn Bowl

Dillon Francis has recently been letting loose some free tracks on his Soundcloud for all of us to hear. In my opinion, he is the King of Moombahton at this moment and therefore you all should pay close attention to anything he puts out there. Even more importantly than all of us however, is that Dillon will be playing in Brooklyn this weekend for only $5 at the Brooklyn Bowl, tickets here. I don't know if you all realize how much of a treat that will be. I can almost guarantee that this will be the cheapest show to see Dillon Francis from this point forward. Meaning he's blowing up so take advantage of this practically free show.

The top 2 are free downloads, bottom 2 only for streaming but so damn good:

Flux Pavilion + Doctor P @ Best Buy Theater Recap

     From first discovering Flux and Doctor P to seeing the status of their US visas to the announcement of the show itself, I had been waiting for this show for over a year.  Because of my love of most every Flux and Doctor P song, the show would have been great regardless but it exceeded all expectations.
     Upon arrival, Hellfire Machina was opening and as usual, was killing it.  We got there just before Flux was scheduled to go on and already had gotten into the UK dubstep mood with Eastern Jam by Chase and Status being blasted by Hellfire.  Needless to say, we could already tell this was going to be a great night.
     To everyone's surprise (and satisfaction) Flux came on (at 12) and almost immediately dropped Bass Cannon, getting everyone ready for what was sure to be a great set.  After Bass Cannon, we were well on our way with Flux dropping most all of his classic tracks such as Hold Me Close, Cracks, Got 2 Know, and closing with Gold Dust.  As most UK DJ's do, we were also given a few drum n bass/drumstep tracks like Game Time by Zomboy.  The big surprise of the night was when Flux threw down I Can't Stop with Chiddy Bang making a guest appearance to rap some vocals over it.  Full video of this below, thanks to cgrilling203 (we had videos but were down on the dance floor, so better quality here):

Flux Pavilion - I Can't Stop (Chiddy Bang Guest Appearance)

     After Flux, Doctor P came on from 1-2 and tore it up with the same start as his Starscape set.  Love Goes Down, Cascade (Cutline Remix), Sick Tonight, Star, Sweet Shop, Big Boss, and Crush On You (Nero Remix) to start off a banger of a set.  Doctor P brought the hammer down on everyone with filthy track after filthy track.  Ranging from his own classics all the way to moombahton with Chase & Status - Hitz (Dillon Francis Remix).  A couple of my favorite tracks that he dropped were Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) and Terravita - Up In The Club, both of which I didn't ever expect to hear that night.  Also, tough to top Tetris when it's perfectly acceptable to yell FUCK at the top of your lungs at the drop.  Doctor P brought the amazing night to an end with Innocence as his last song. 
    All in all, I can't say enough about both Flux and Doctor P.  It was an epic night and if you have the chance to see them ever I urge you to check them out, even if you don't know much of their stuff.  I know when they come back to New York that I will most certainly be seeing them again.  Check the jump for more footage from the show and look for them coming to your city soon.

Skylar Grey - Invisible Remixes

Two great remixes of this Skylar Grey song which should be released this month. One by Dirty South, the other by Kaskade. I could just stop there as that should be enough to tell you how good these remixes are but I must elaborate on how upset I am to come home to the Kaskade mix being taken off of Soundcloud. Luckily, someone posted it on Youtube to save all of us and that is below. Enjoy these two gems.

More Mixes

So of course as soon as I struggle to find a new, recent mix about 5 drop in one day. I have posted a couple below, namely an A-Trak mix and a Gladkill mix. We all know who A-Trak is so he needs no introduction but Gladkill is rather unknown. Gladkill is a New Yorker who primarily produces chillstep tracks and remixes. He has posted his mix from Coachella earlier this year and it's as chill as ever. Perfect to leave on and just mellow out to. Take a listen below.

Monday Mix - Aeroplane

Another month, another Aeroplane mix. I don't think I will ever get sick of these as there are always tracks that I don't know on these. On top of that, they're almost all great tracks. Definitely give this one a listen as you should anything with the Aeroplane name attached to it.
