While High Contrast has been blowing up the scene since 2000, it wasn't until I heard his BBC Essential Mix in 2007 that I got hip to his work. If you have heard that mix, it is ridiculous and won him Essential Mix of the Year. Hear are two hot mixes that have a commercial appeal and will work with a crowd that knows what up.....Calvin Harris - Ready For the Weekend (High Contrast Remix)Kany...

Tons of radness this week. Enjoy!Amanda Blank - I Love You LP (Downtown Music)Diplo, Switch, and XXXChange man the boards for this fine Philly female to spit some game, and it doesn't suck. Guests like Spank Rock, Santigold, and Cool Kids don't hurt either...not that she needed the help. Knockin.mp3:Amanda Blank - Gimme What You Got (feat.

Here's something different for when you're burned out from your usual dance music selection. He goes by Ocuban. I don't know much about him; just from what I could find online- He is a DJ and Producer from Nashville. A damn good one at that. I just happened to stumble across him one day and since then I haven't been able to stop listening to his songs here and there. Some of his songs remind me...

Since a lot of music on this blog is disco influenced, I figured I would toss a curve ball in there this week. Here are some big tracks with a BPM in the 70's.1. Rusko - Cockney Thug (Caspa Remix)Caspa takes this pretty solid dubstep single and turns it into a hit. Samples from the movies "Kids" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" sit on top of that signature Caspa bass tone. Whomp whom...

Courtesy of GDD crew.Watch the video below. Bummer. A messed up situation all around. Reminds us of New Years '96 in LA but without the extreme violence that occurred then. Public Enemy - Fight the Power

When you get a heavyweight like Nas talking about Hip Hop being dead, it makes you happy. Being a lover of the music, anytime a track like this comes out I feel better. We've all known it for years, but too many 'rappers', too much money, it's all an image, blah, blah, blah - has killed it. Well Nas has teamed up with The Beastie Boys (currently working on their new record), and they've relea...

1960's mash ups are pretty much a staple of any slammin' dj set. After you have beat them over the head with the new Proxy remix and have almost cleared the floor, you can drop that Beatles B-More Mash Up and get them all loving you again.....here are a few classics and some you might not have....1. Beatles - Money (Mike the 2600's King Fuck You Pay Me Mix)Great B-More style mix that keeps eno...

Australian House has been the new French House for most of 2006-09. Shazam is no different. His mixes have that funky fresh sound of discotech and the smooth groove you need to get a party started with the hipster set. Here are a couple of amazing mixes that I can't get enough of....Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars (Shazam Dub)Empire of the Sun - We Are The People ( Shazam Mix)Sneaky Sound System -...

If you follow us at all, you notice the heavy disco house influence. Most of the noharmnofowlers grew up on the funky disco techno of the 90's. This was before Thomas and Guy wore helmets and back when EDC was called Electric Daisy Carnival and the headliners were Thomas Michael, Ron D. Core, and Simply Jeff. This group right here is probably the freshest thing in Disco House since those good o...

Occasionally while digging through all of the junk email, spam and new music submissions we get in the blog inbox I find a golden egg. Thanks to the guys over at KidCityblog, we were introduced to Jason Sundstrom. The guy is banging out bassy glitchy electro that is very impressive for his age and limited experience. Nothing too out there or revolutionary but still very very good. We were e...

I was playing at the first Sunday Session this year and the Sun was so bright that I couldn't read the Serato screen. Matty Matt came over to me and pressed some buttons on my computer and I was suprised to see my backdrop change color. It turned everything purple, pink, and black. I went on playing and everything was cool. What I found out later was that the screen was set to "negative" mode. ...

Definitely one of my favorites, hailing from London- The Squatters. I am completely smitten over their mixtapes, as well as their produced tracks and remixes. Their sound isn't one for the faint of heart from the styles of House to pounding, thumping fidgit; they seem to find the perfect balance to please any crowd. You can find more of their mixtapes through their Myspace page on their blog. P...

The 80's are a decade that's music will never go away. Some of the same synths and drum machines that were used to make the sound of "New Wave" are still used today by artists such as Soulwax, Justice, Daft Punk, and others. Here are a few heaters that are guaranteed to make your party rock as hard as this dude's chest hair....1) Rapper's Delight (Van She Remix) - Dan the Automator (or Sugar Hi...

So I decided to throw together a fun mix highlighting many of the top NHNF tunes of the year so far along with some classics that I had previously posted in our French House Fridays section. This should keep your iPod busy for a bit. Word 'em up.DJWINNER - Mid Summer Classic Mix Vol. 1Tracklisting:1) DJWINNER - 'Who's the Big Winner?' Swingers Intro2) Passion Pit - The Reeling (SGR Remix)3) P...

Drum n Bass isn't completely dead yet, but it does smell kind of funny. In roughly the last 4 (or more) years, the lack of variety within a genre that was once so vibrant and important has put some major stress on that scene. Let's be honest; since electro re-took the club world by storm, even its own bastard cousins - Dubstep, Grime, and UK Funky - have pushed DnB to the side. Good luck findi...

The illest in new music from across the spectrum! Get some heat!Nadsroic - Room Mist EP (LuckyMe)This collab between female vocalist Ciorsdan Brown and DJ/producer Hudson Mohawke is the type of shit that should be on mainstream radio, but won't be. Its twisted r&b meets electro style is just too different, groundbreaking, and interesting than the other nonsense being played out there. A cut way...

Once again Control is bringing it proper to LA this Friday with a live performance by New York's Golden Filter. With their retro synthed-out electro vibe and Bjork meets Deborah Harry-like vocals, duo Stephen and Penelope have been making waves in '09...as in radio waves. Not having even seen any mention of these guys on the blogs, I first heard their single 'Solid Gold' back in March on Sir...
