When I was in third grade my Mom rented me a saxophone. I never could figure out how to play that damn thing, but I love the sound it makes, and I think it's the most unappreciated instrument in dance music. Something about the noise it makes just screams "shake that shit!"....So, check out this sax-heavy track from Pablo Calamari. I almost sliced my hand off chopping vegetables while I was r...

Some Truly Unruly Shit
If you missed My Crew Be Unruly this past weekend than I really don't know what to tell you. I'm not mad at you. There's a flurry of reasons why you stayed up in your bed, instead of venturing out to the Paradox for the wildest up-till-the-break-of-mutha-fuckin-dawn-party. Maybe you were sick. Maybe your dog died, or you got too faded at the bar...Whatever the reason, and not to rub it in or...

They are doing a lot of shit right...so watch the fuck out....P.the fuck.S...Yes, I really did have to post a picture of Jane Fonda on this one... Blane Fonda - Opportunity Rocks (ZS)

Crazy Jumpin Around and Shit
-
Artist:Casy and Brian
Sometimes I like straight forward, in-your-face, rock songs. Nothing to complected, just simple music that is fun to dance and jump around too. It's really fucking hot here today, so jumping and dancing is not something I really feel like doing, but maybe if I listen to this song a few more times that will change. It's from San Francisco based, Casy and Brian, and I can't wait to see this li...

Other Peoples Contests Are Better
My favorite blog from up in the wilds of Toronto just finished up a remix competition for Barletta's track "Panther." I must say that I'm pretty envious because they got a shit load of submissions, and every time I try to do one I only get a few. I guess I'll try and do one again sometime in the near future, but if I only get like three submissions, fuck it, never again on this site. You can ...

Madness For The Weekend
Starks and Nacey have returned with another addition to their summer of heat sinking musical production. It's aptly entitled "Summer Madness." They'll be in Baltimore on Friday night for the city's biggest-baddest-most-anticipated party of the year, My Crew Be Unruly. It's going to be quite the show. I mean, what other party is going to offer you breakfast with your cover charge? I'll be s...

Back For Real
So the little week and half hiatus is over...I'm feeling recharged, and it's time get back with delivering you guys some music. Might as well start things off with some dance music from the Belgium duo, Nid And Sancy. This one is heavy on the bass, so play accordingly.Nid and Sancy - My Agitator (Headshotboyz Remix) (ZS)

So Sorry....
I apologize for the lack of posts over the last week. I just returned from 5 days in California, and was up in the mountains with no internet for most of it. Mega music post will be forthcoming...cause I got a lot of shit in my inbox to share with you folks. I highly recommend taking a break from the internet...it's good for the head, for sure.

Garage Rock, Coffee, and Cigarettes
-
Artist:Darlings
I've found that I've been listening to a lot of early 1960's garage rock lately. I thinks it the humidity. I found this track while looking through my inbox for stuff to post. It's from NYC based band, Darlings, and this morning it was just what I needed while enjoying my coffee and the cigarette that I'm not supposed to be smoking. The analog hum of their instruments, plus simply themed ly...

House....Pure, Simple
It's been a while since I've dropped a nice, soulful, funky, House track. No...not that blog stuff that pops up all over the place...(occasionally guilty of it)...This one here is a straight-vocal-hands-in-the-air-dance-your-mutha-shaking-ass-off House track. It's been remixed by Denmark's Deeper People, and if you like what you hear, go on over to their myspace, cause they've got a ton more ...

Brand New Music From The State
Usually I like to wait a couple days after I finish a track before I post it up on the site.....you know, let it marinate in my head for a minute. Well, fuck it. This one is as good as it's gonna get. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for the support.The State - Do It (ZS)

My personal favorite is Nacey's "Money on the Dressa"...but download the whole thing, cause all the tracks are worth giving a bump and a listen. You can catch them in Baltimore over at the Paradox for "My Crew Be Unruly" on July 17th...

Hux-Tape
I got this mixtape a while back, but haven't had a chance to post it up. It's from bmore party starters Claire Hux, and it's filled with plenty of ass shakers to rock with over the weekend. They've got a bunch of shows lined up this summer, mostly here in the city, but a couple up in NYC and Pennsylvania. I'll be checking them out over the Windup Space during Friday of Artscape. It's very c...

Some Blue Pearl....Sidechains Style
Blue Pearl originally released this track back in 1990. It's a great UK House track, with that deep vocal and pumping beat. The group consisted of Durga McBroom (vocals) and Martin Glover (beats). Glover also worked with Paul McCartney on his electonica project, The Fireman. Enough with the boring history. This track has gotten a great re-work by Sidechains, and is being re-released is by B...

Some Cali Waves...
NightWaves are a four piece from L.A. and they make some really nice ethereal rock music. I found myself listening to a lot of Depeche Mode over the weekend, and these guys have that similar dance/rock sound. If your out in Southern California make sure to head over to the Echoplex in Los Angeles for their show with Thieves Like Us on Friday, June 19th. For your downloading pleasure, the ban...
