Promo Mix

The time has come, I have finally finished my 120 min Promo Mix. It features an eclectic choice of sounds ranging from techno, fidget house, electro house, and even a touch of dubstep. Seems a bit much for one mix you say? Well, I thought so too, so I formatted this mix a bit differently. The beginning part of the mix features lower energy tracks that you could start the night with, and slowly revs up in energy and tempo until you hit the huge techno ending. Below is the tracklist, enjoy!

Summer Sounds June 2010

Summer is here! And for those of you not out of school yet, get a taste of summer with this new mix with fun songs for the summer. This is one of the first nu-disco-esque mixes I've ever done. Some of you may ask, why not play the harder stuff? Well, to be honest, as much as I love the deep, dark, and filthy sounds of fidget etc, I feel that the tracks on this mix cater more to the sounds that people associate with summer. The mix is pretty straight forward, with some old sounds and some new. Watch out for the killer from Figure that ends the mix, it's one of the most evil basslines I've heard to date. I'm going to try to come out with a mix for every month of summer, so this is hopefully the first of three. I will leave you with a parting quote to live by this summer:

"Time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time"

1.  Late of the Pier // Space And The Woods (Switch remix) 
2. PeaceTreaty // Funk In Da Ganja 
3. Late of the Pier // Focker (Boys Noize Terror Remix)
4. Klaxons // Gravity's Rainbow (Van She Remix)
5. Urchins & Spoek // Tickets (Blatta & Inesha Remix) 
6. Miike Snow // Silvia (Felix Da Housecat Remix)
7. DeeLux // Hot Hot Hot (Wideboys Mix)
8. Public Enemy // Night Of The Living Bassheads (Figure Remix)

The Theory of Sound

Have you ever been at a party before, red cup in hand, standing and catching up with your friends all to the cringe of a $50 stereo with blown out speakers and no bass playing rap from 2 years ago? Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that if you have attended a college recently (lets say the last 10 years), then you have for sure experienced this once. And once is one time too many. Now I'll give you a little weapon in this war against horrible party music. I call this, "The Theory of Sound". From the hard hitting sounds of Cold Blank and Fake Blood all the way to the killer bass of Bangkok, this mix will keep the kids dancing and the rap off the stereo. Anyways, I present to you, "The Theory of Sound".
