Perseus free EP. 90's throwback sounds for the contemporary aficionado

Perseus does great work, and was hooked the moment I first heard 'Cool Runnings.'  Deeply rooted influences of 90's pop and R&B, supplemented with the standards of EDM specs for dancefloor preparedness.  Download Perseus' EP 'Russian Girls' now and jam on it!  Consequently, 'Cool Runnings' made into my most recent radio show 'Social Studies' on Plaza Midwood Community Radio (4pm Fridays).  Best radio station in Charlotte!!

I fell in love with this track in the summer, before i knew the total splendor of the Perseus team!!

Amazing Ad Campaign for horrible drivers

From our friends in Australia, to promote safer driving on back roads.  Terrific types style, images, poignant message to all those whom may very well drive like said 'roosters' (yes, i am aware we're not exactly talking roosters).  Can we get this campaign in Charlotte as well, please?!

Why did I NOT get this for Cmas!?!?

Give BWillackers, ALL the good gifts!

Chilly Gonzales – You Can Dance (Robotaki Remix)

Wowzers. Chilly Gonzales' super-fun pastoral invitation to move, in his glory track 'You Can Dance' has just been given a +50 firepower upgrade with Robotaki's remix of wonderment. I love this song. Go buy, its the best dollar you'll ever spend (this and a McD's sweet tea is a grand investment as well).

Madi Diaz – Trust Fall (Jensen Sportag Remix)

Mesmerizing work from Jensen Sportag.  Trust Fall is an exquisite example of painting dreamy landscapes without the sap.  It's a refined mature sound, however maintaining a newer sleek edge continuing in the early 90's pop reflip we've been seeing lately. This is the type of thing i get lost in. Diaz‘ sincere, airy vocals and Sportag’s casual yet intricate dance appeal has created something unique and wonderful. Download now!

Plastic Plates and Tommie Sunshine remix Katy Perry

I understand that pop and the word 'quality' are usually mutually exclusive. Any levels of breakthrough in this era of Radio prepped preselected hits, generally comes in advancements of production.

Enter the EDM producers! Yes, remixes of each pop smash are as numerous as the stars in the Northern Hemisphere, however in this case, we have two fantastic exceptions to the rule of monotony! Today, Katy Perry's teenie bopper lament 'The One That Got Away' gets remixed. Paper Plates can do no wrong, creating a gorgeous platinum mid tempo house cruiser. The instrumental is just as awesome.

Tommie Sunshine takes another approach - with vocoded and chopped vox, reverb saturated buildups, grinding bass lines transforming the track into a peak party floor stomper.

Bro Safari ushers in the Wknd w/ Moombahton madness

Got you guys some grimy love from Bro Safari. You may also know him as 1/3 of Evol Intent or 1/2 of Ludachrist. They recently went in on a single w/ Sluggo on Play Me Too Records' (a sub-imprint of Reid Speed‘s Play Me Records) I offer you two massive tracks and one of their mixes,  a live set recorded in Cleveland. Huge compressed wobbles, hip-hop vocals, low ended saw wave bass grindage, essplosions of sound.  All three well worth the menial time it takes to download.

*language warning on the mix, for those that dont appreciate potty-mouthed mc's

Skrillex live set on BBC 1

You all know I'm not the biggest Skrillex fan, nonetheless I can definitely appreciate and understand the deluge of youngsters pouring over at his live shows and downloading his discography via undisclosed torrents (like a true fan).  I've noticed that Skrillex and a handful of dubstep producers have become a 'gateway drug' of sorts, giving kids their first sampling of electronic music. At least kid's initial exposure to electronic tunes is no longer car commercials supplemented with pop-n-lockin ladies riding shotgun in Mitsubishi's.  Here's a Skrillex 20 minutes long mini mix for Zane Lowe on BBC’s Radio 1 // thanks to thissongissick.com for the initial post.  Dude-Bros and Sorority Sisters aside, this guy definitely bangs.

PNAU has been on my radar ever since Breakbot's classic remix of their track 'Baby.' I am blown away by this huge but subtle remix by Kris Menace. Its entirely engulfing, forcing a reaction - i have to move, i have to smile and i wanna even sing along but dang it i'm gonna have to look up the lyrics to do that express desire.

Reset! Remixes Phoenix's 'if i ever feel better'

I am fully aware that the amount of Phoenix remixes out there most likely equates to the population of a small European nation. However, there are most definitely a few rare diamonds amongst the seas of remix mediocrity. Reset! provides us with evidence of such claims, with their remix of 'If i Ever Feel Better.' This track is about as club ready as they get, and I love the surprise drop a third of the way through. From that point its banging till the fade.

Niki & The Dove / Goldroom Remix

Goldroom's remix of Niki & The Dove's 'Mother Protect' is exquisite and most definitely filing itself high up in my list of 2011 best remixes. Goldroom always adds something very special to each of their remixes. The original is as charming and personal as it is distantly haunting. However, Legg lifts Dahlström’s vocals with almost anthem-like piano riff creating such a bright simple sound. This is perfection.

This deserves a post of it's own, but here it is nonetheless!

Pat Lok's must have debut EP

Oh yes! Pat Lok's defending the notion that Vancouver, Canada's got the goods.  He’s just dropped his first ep, ‘No Shame‘ on the On The Fruit Label.  'No Shame' is a fun yet tightly produced romp through the joys of funk and dancin'. The OH YEAH remix, is my 'go to' track on this release -  exhilarating and weightless, just like a peak-time party should be.

Codes Remixes Major Lazer & Harry Belafonte. Its a win win.

Cody Murray (this would be the aforementioned 'Codes') has been tearing, up dance halls in is home terf of Brooklyn for quite a spell.  Now his infectious sounds have been spreading across the country at cataclysmic rates. Showing up in recent form as a Remix for Major Lazer's 'Original Don.' Also enjoy the added bonus of Codes' moombahton reworking of Harry Belafonte's 'Jump in the Line.' You'll remember this track as the grand finale of Tim Burton's Opus 'Beetlejuice' when a young Winona Ryder in all her adolescent Goth glory levitated ten or so feet above the floor and sang this song whilst under the endearing demonic influence of her adorable poltergeist buddy Beetlejuice. Fun fun fun!!

Bringing quality to the bass experiece. Thanks Griz!!

Detroit's, Griz, produces on a very fine line. The type of line which demands five minute conversations with folks and friends inquiring as to exactly what type of music this guy is making. With the heart of an Alchemist Griz fuses together electro broken glitch-hop dub noise step or something to that nature. Exquisitely put together, like quality you'd find in a Pretty Lights sound, coupled with the insane vision of a Xaphoon Jones, Griz will be around for a good long while!!! Free Downloads on his SOUNDCLOUD page!

Surkin's Free Mix on Nova Planet

Surkin has produced a super-fun mix for NovaPlanet, which you can download as a Podcast.

Great mix!! It's been my work buddy for the last couple of days. Indicative of his recent sets, Surkin's pulling from the early days of heavy vocal samples, and some nasty melody lines and an addictive pulse that has fond traces of the old NYC Sonic Groove sound.  Its all in French, but just click on the little iTUNES logo. Oui?  There's a ton of mixes from a ton of legendary French Producers and Dj's. Go get'em all!!

Illustrator, animator, revelator, incredible creative force-or.   His website is seeping over with hilarious and innovative content.  Granted all i have displayed here is from his POP CULTURE CHART series, which I've been buzzing off of for quite some time now, so I hope he can forgive me. Nonetheless, this NYC native doesnt make uninteresting work (that based on what he chooses to post, granted).  With work out on College Humor, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network his work speaks for itself. His propensity for creation makes me want to draw/create/explore more erryday!!!
