Mixhell - Highly Explicit (Brodinski Bamboo Rave Remix)

Artist:

Track:Highly Explicit
So, do you know that feeling, the one of sheer accomplishment and satisfaction that comes along with finding a song that you've been searching for ALL FUCKING SUMMER?Two weeks ago I asked for help in identifying a song that I had heard in a few DJ sets, but unfortunately, nobody could really help me out.And then yesterday happened; oh, the wondrous powers of searching YouTube high. Here it is, in

Insomniac Dance Party Radio Show
If you've been here awhile you might remember that I had a radio show last year. If you've been here for even longer, you might remember that my focus in music has slowly transitioned towards the more electronic variety.So, given those two ideas, it made sense to have an electronic radio show. Which brings us to the 2009-2010 premiere of the Insomniac Dance Party on 90.9 FM, WCDB in Albany, New

Halp!

Artist:
Sup guys, enjoying my last days out here in the Hamptons before heading home, packing up my life, and returning to Albany for another year of scholarly pursuits.Before all of that though, quick question. There's a song in the middle of several Boys Noize sets that I know I've heard before but can't for the life of me remember the name. I uploaded a sample of it, kudos to anybody who can help me

The Juan Maclean - The Future Will Come

Artist:
-
Album:
2009DFA RecordsBuy6/10Were The Future Will Come simply a collection of its strongest singles, The Juan Maclean would have achieved world renown. When much of the dance community has departed for the shores of trance, electrohouse, and for those adventurous (trendy) enough, dubstep, he's released what seems to be a long-play throwback to the days of unadulterated house which is at its best

Brand New - At the Bottom
At the Bottom - Brand New***So...what just dropped this morning?Oh. Right. New single. From a pretty cool band called Brand New - you might have heard of them? It's a very different sound, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Time will tell, I suppose. Still, it's pretty exciting, almost like my junior year of high school all over again.This is "At the Bottom", off the upcoming album Daisy,

Axiotronic - Of Latitude and Longitude
-
Artist:
2009Electronic Eel RecordsBuy8/10So much electronic music is conceived as little more than a means to some separate end. It's a shame, yes, but it's also a reality: house is for dancing, trance is for getting fucked up, electro is for nostalgia, etc. This current state of affairs makes Axiotronic's latest release all the more refreshing; Of Latitude and Longitude is presented as electronica,

Bassnectar v. Lupe Fiasco: "Land of the Lupes"
Thank God it's...Thursday?Actually, yes! T-minus one week until Sinden spins Webster Hall and Boys Noize comes to Summer Stage in Central Park.Until then, here's some new Lorin Ashton (aka Bassnectar) for your downtempo/dubstep consideration, a pretty nice mash-up of some chill beats and the original Lupe Fiasco anthem, "Kick, Push".Straight from the horse's mouth:I took the beat of a

Another manic Monday
Not much today, just a killer Radioclit remix and a random mix that I got sent over the weekend from a British DJ called Jackamo. They're both pretty fun electrohouse, and the mix takes a minute or two to pick up, but once it does, it's definitely worth it.Enjoy!***Divine Gosa (Switch Remix) - Radioclit (As heard in a couple of Boys Noize sets this summer)***Boom Selection Vol. 3 Mix - Jackamo1.

Jay-Z - Run This Town
Run This Town - Jay-Z (ft. Kanye West & Rihanna) [Courtesy of Pigeons and Planes]***I'm really not sure what to expect from The Blueprint 3, dropping on 9/11.I mean, yeah, he is Jay-Z - but sometimes it just really feels like he isn't trying anymore. Or maybe this is symptomatic of becoming a successful rapper/singer/dancer/entertainer/whatever, in and of itself? I guess if people were constantly

Gathering of the Vibes 2009
As many of you might (might not) know (care), this morning marks the beginning of the annual "Gathering of the Vibes" in Bridgeport, CT. The festivities are split between the Main and Green Vibes Stages, beginning early and running late until Crosby, Stills & Nash close things out Sunday evening at six.I sincerely wish that I was still in the Northeast for the summer, as I know that my friends

Casting call: We're hiring!
Calling all masochists - we're (I'm) hiring (looking for unpaid labor)!If you enjoy writing, enjoy music, enjoy writing about music, or are rolling on ecstasy and just feeling super generous, then you might be right for this humble website. I've been looking to expand coverage for awhile, but frankly when I'm not enrolled in college classes I'm working a full time 9 to 5, so it can be a little

Crookers & Co. to host a party with real potential

Artist:
I hate to marginalize large segments of my potential audience by catering to inherently regional interest, but when I saw this, I simply couldn't resist.On October 10th, Terminal 5 in Manhattan will play host to Italain virtuosos Crookers and 2009's hype of the summer Major Lazer, alongside the dubstep stylings of Rusko, and a whole host of other Mad Decent friends.This could be massive.

Songs of the week: 7/21/09
It's so weird to think that July is on the downhill, another summer past its apex. There's been some interesting things afoot in the industry over these last couple of months, and this fall is shaping up to be one of the most exciting release seasons of recent memory (that is if Brand New actually makes good on their September release date!)It's also rather weird to see how my tastes have changed

Bibio - Vignetting the Compost
2009Mush RecordsBuy7.5/10To those of us whose introduction to prolific British producer Stephen Wilkinson's Bibio came with Ambivalence Avenue's 'Pitchfork Best New Music' ambience, it might come as a bit of a shock to hear that said album is a drastic artistic departure. Want proof, Sherman? All you've got to do is wake up Mr. Peabody and set the Wayback Machine to five months earlier...(Read

Old School Hip-Hop Documentary
So apparently I've been snoozing for the last two years, but I stumbled across a three part Dutch documentary on the birth of hip-hop in the South Bronx, and I've gotta say, it's pretty interesting. Hell, maybe even worth a viewing or two?(Documentary, entitled Big Fun in the Big Town, courtesy of VPRO.)***The first part focuses mainly on Grandmaster Flash, as he explains and demonstrates the

2000 & Late
So, it's been pretty apparent that something's been preoccupying me of late. My posts have again fallen into a rather irregular schedule, reviews and songs of the week have been neglected in favor of some unknown distraction. Well, this is what I've been working on - a nice summer mix to help celebrate this website's one year anniversary.Maybe in another year's time it'll actually be profitable?
