Cause I Feel Like It #$

if you haven't inferred from our AWESEOM MIXES, El Langosta (pictured) and I dj.

hi there. i am avoiding my homework.

Cause I Feel Like It #$, le zip

House/Club

Canblaster - Clockworks
SO GOOD. Canblaster is someone to watch. Get this for sure.

Wobble (Original Mix) - Albin Myers
Prog meets fidget house. insane. thanks apes with barrels

Pop Remixes

My Neck, My Back, My Animal Rights (2deadbeatz Mashup) - Mau5 and Gartner

YEP!

Party in the USA (Frederik Olufsen Remix) - Miley Cyrus

Eh, okay. Nice shotgun sample

Party And Bullshit (In the USA Remix) - Miley Cyrus vs Notorious BIG
GET THIS if you don't have it already. play it at parties, people will be your friend

Power (Paper Diamond Remix) - Kanye West

I've already posted this but think it needs to be posted again - Alex B goes apeshit on Kanye W

Nguzunguzu

These guys, from LA, are pretty much their own genre. Describing Nguzunguzu's sound is about as easy as saying their name (its not). Suffice to say it is clubby, hot, tropical, heavy electro. Its very odd in many ways and you need to be in the mood for it.. but they are fascinating. Watch out for them for SURE (along with Canblaster).

Drugs (Nguzunguzu Remix) - Ratatat

CARESSS$ - Nguzunguzu

Deuces (Nguzunguzu Remix) - Ciara

Got U - Nguzunguzu

Strut - Nguzunguzu

Bonus Tracks

Walking With A Ghost (Tegan And Sara Cover) - The White Stripes (Removed)

Now that they broke up we have to celebrate them!

Avantcore - Busdriver (Removed)

This is mostly here for El Langosta, because we both love indie rap. Busdriver is a member of the Nobody/Nocando cadre. that means its awesome. i mean, the track in this is essentially a piano jig with clever and light lyrics on top. loveeeeeeee

When Volcanoes Erupt, Dubstep is Made. And Ke$ha.

what most dubstep sounds like

Considering the success of my LAST dubstep post, and the fact that i have accumulated a couple good tracks lately, its time. Its time to unleash a volcano on your speakers. Look for a zip of all 11 (!) tracks

(in order of increasing frightening rawness)

Hotel Caledonia - Gaudi novelty track?

Okay, this is just here because there is no way you can turn down bagpipe dubstep. Like, seriously. Uptempo, with plenty of.. erm.. highland influence. I have bagpipe dubstep, you don't. your argument is invalid. 

We R Grand Theft Fantasy (Forcing Function Mashup) - Ke$ha Vs. Feed Me

Okay, not dubstep. And its Ke$ha. On the other hand, its FEED ME, who makes awesome electro house and dubstep (he is signed to Mau5trap if that tells you anything). AND: its an excellent mashup, with an off-kilter, strange buildup that is so gratifying. get this. play it at a party and people will be your friend.

Bass Down Low (Feat. Dev) (Proper Villains Remix) - The Cataracs

Okay, now the dubstep begins. Almost Like a G6-like, but way better. And dubstep, with a semi-gated bassline that makes you move. sweet.

Flush (Skism Remix) - Losers (Feat Riz MC & Envy)

I have been waiting for this to come out for EVER. Skism is excellent dubstep. Do not miss this one for your life.. the buildup isn't the most ridiculous thing evar, but come drop time, skism delivars. awesome.

The Blank - Skism

A kind of old skism track that i have been waiting for in 320. Downtempo, ominous... and with a fat ass bass drone for the entire length of the song, virtually. Its literally just there to vibrate your chest cavity, or tympanic membrane. Or both.

The Beat - JSaxton

From an impressive young upstart dubstep producer (he's been around a while now), this track has some pretty buhdiculous synths in it. And its starting to get a little on the grimy, frightening side of dubstep...

Methamphetamine - Bratkilla

Okay. A. i'm surprised this is the first dubstep song i have seen with this title, but b. it has a family guy sample, and c. it has a moderately frightening intro melody and hits QUITE hard. When langosta and I djed NYE i played this and someone asked me to change the song. If thats any indication.

Cloudburn - Feed Me

Seems innocuous, really isn't. Love this track, getting you with the prog-ass vocal intro n shit. Yeah. then the bass literally rears its ugly, Akoto-esque (reference?) head. Gnar.

Needed Change - 12th Planet & Skrillex

The name of the track doesn't even matter here.. the names say it all. 12th Planet and Skrillex WILL show you nasty. This is INSANE. Think of what a giant LP made of rusted iron sounds like when you play it on a turntable made of lead spinning at 100 rpm. Thats this song.

Cinema (Skrillex Remix) - Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go

Skrillex appears again. Except this song sounds to me more like a giant Cerberus eating nuclear material. Thats just me, though. Don't take my word for it.

Scatta (Feat. Foreign Beggars & Bare Noize) - Skrillex

Okay, THIS is why you are here. This is the sound of radioactive dinosaurs having angry sex while eating each other. Also, i forgot to mention that all the volcanoes around them are erupting violently and the meteor that will cause their extinction is hurtling at them. Damn Foreign Beggars, talking about magnums n shit. they don't even know. Seriously, get this. Your ears will.. actually no. they wont thank you. but get it anyway.

When Volcanoes Erupt, Dubstep is Made (Zip)

I love dubstep,

///patkins///

also, this....

... is just too amazing for you not to have. we usually don't do mashups.. but this one.. is really something.

ups to Chubby Beavers for posting this.

Intro (Tuna Mashup) - The xx vs. DMX vs. Sander van Doorn

Electro + Lyrics (or, AN EPIC POST)

new album artwork, yo

WHAT? ELECTRO WITH LYRICS? well, okay usually it winds up being rap. and yes, there are many instances of electro with lyrics. i just wanted to find some sort of theme to bind this post together and give me an excuse to post this stuff. so here you go.

Animal Ladder (Brendo's Make It Hard Mash) - Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner

THE FUCKING AWESOMEST TRACK EVER. Lyrics from Sofi Needs A Ladder + Deadwolf Gartnermau5's Animal Rights. FUCKING ;LAKDJSF;LAKDJF;LADSKFJ. GET THIS.


Bass Head (King Fantastic Remix) - Bassnectar
What was a pretty ordinary dubstep track becomes a banging, smashing, EPIC ass track when you add profanities and verse. SO GOOD


Forever (Nero Remix) - Drake
Another rap/pop dubstep track, but with the production quality you would expect from Nero. Fat ass bass, a good one to drop in a live set. 


Epic shit!

A Post Including, But Not Limited To, Dirty Electro

So after discovering Skrillex (debut EP available for FREE - COP IT) my interest in dirty electro was revitalized and I became inspired to make a post of some of my accumulated tunes.

Skrillex, by the way, is awesome - he reminds me of the Bloody Beetroots et al. in terms of his ferocious use of noise and ripping synths but he takes it to an awesome extreme and its well produced and executed. I'm really excited to see him in August along with Wolfgang Gartner (aka the Second Coming of Christ), Harvard Bass and Valerna at the Avalon.

Bad Romance (Skrillex Club Remix) - Lady GaGa ✳

So fucking epic. The best remix of this I have ever heard.

My Name Is Skrillex - Skrillex ✳

Yes, his name is Skrillex, And yes he's going to kick your ass with a steel-toed boot with rusty nails poking out of it.

Ghosts N Stuff (Dirty Disco Youth Remix) - Deadmau5

Gets a little wearing after a while but is definitely fun for the first couple minutes. Would be interesting to mix with the original.

Toxic Is Dead (Owl Vision Remix) - Toxic Avenger

Vicious and vivacious from 0:01.

Wolfen (Loose Cannons Howl At The Moon Remix) - Boy 8-Bit ✳

Unfortunately haven't heard anything else out of Loose Cannons yet.. but I like the random intro and the somewhat Miles Dyson-ness of this track.

Everybody (Bloody Beetroots Chipmunk Remix) - Goose ✳

Because everybody loves the Bloody Beetroots, including me for this track. A bit old, but good.

In OTHER News

I said this post included but was NOT LIMITED TO Dirty Electro. So here are two things I have had banging around in my head recently, mostly relating to Top 40 that has been cleverly redone.

Mornin After Dark (Wolfgang Gartner Remix) - Timbaland Ft. SoShy ✳

Gartner does SoShy so well. Awesome track.

Tik Tok Seattle (Ke$ha Vs. Owl City) - Mashpower ✳

This is just epic. Just. Listen to this. Works better than you think. Just. Ahhh.

(i know, im articulate.)

Top 40/Dirty Electro Zipped

EDIT:

I do realize that I just posted something that involves ke$ha. In order to redeem my dignity, I present to you the other half of that mashup, quite possibly one of our favorite dance tracks ever. In case you DON'T want a trashed slut babbling over your progressive house.

Hello Seattle (Owl City Remix) - Owl City
