Driving through the desert in Kazakhstan a few weeks back, a mix from Australian R!M!E came on as part of our Mixtape Marathon. Needless to say it smashed it and we were nodding our heads hard all through the dirt tracks, potholes and endless horizons until it was over.So after the trip is over, I’m [...]
YEY! I'm super excited about this Major Lazer in Stockholm thing in a couple of weeks! At first I was pretty bummed out because I'm broker than broke at the moment. But then I remembered that I still have got some free train tickets to Stockholm, back and forth left and whoop whoop, the 2nd of September is saved! I'm not gonna miss out on the opportunity to experience hipster dancehall, zombie ...
Here's a wonky-as-fuck remix entry from the boys in Mexicans With Guns, for their hopeful quest to win the contest run by Diplo and Switch aka Major Lazer for "Pon De Floor". It's hard on the outside to the poke...
What is better than a Major Lazer video? A Major Lazer video made my Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric fame. I am pretty excited about the new season of Tim and Eric's Awesome Show and this is only making the pins and needles I am sitting on even MORE sharp.
While Diplo currently is in Sweden (proof #1 & proof #2), them remixes of Major Lazer's 'Pon De Floor' just keep raining in. Here's Oh Snap!!'s crazy contribution: a 156 bpm, faaaast soca remix. Perhaps a bit too fast for my taste at first (almost expecting a high pitch Chipmunk voice throughout the whole song) but after a few more listens I've adjusted to the pace and it has grown good on me.p...
If you're interested in marketing your new electronic software, just team up with a group with a buzzing following like Aviary did with Major Lazer. Talk about getting the word out!PR Release:Aviary is basically this free, web-based, user-friendly Pro Tools, right? It's supposed to be the death-knell of $600-dollar desktop software made by bespectacled germans in labcoats. They're launching thi...
I do.What the hell.Okay so. I’ve been listening to this DJ for a while now, but I never felt like posting about him. This guy has the best name ever (after mine of course): Chewy Chocolate Cookies. HOW AMAZING IS THAT, HOLY SHIT?! Well his name is not the only amazing thing in this guy. His tracks are usually remixes of songs that aren’t danceable at all (MOST of the time, NOT all the time).

Since everyone and their mom remixed Major Lazer's track "Pon De Floor" this past month (really, if you go through the 50+ pages of remixes I'm sure you'll find at least a couple remixes by someone's mom), I had to do something a little different. It's a mix between sounds found in wobble, ghetto house, bmore, dubstep and probably another half dozen genres I'm affectionately calling Hybrid Bas...
