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!!

Amazing Ad Campaign for horrible drivers

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

Give BWillackers, ALL the good gifts!

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.

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.
