Pop | Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly – Do What U Want (Prod. DJ Snake)
Posted by VMan on October 21, 2013
This might be premature to say, but this new tune by Lady Gaga, and R. Kelly might be my favorite track of 2013, and I’m only on my first play of the record. The ass made me click play, and I don’t regret it. The great DJ Snake produced this record, and it’s already #1 in 13 countries, safe to say anything the man touches turns into gold! THIS IS A MUST LISTEN!

Progressive House | Robin S – Show Me Love (Filtercrush 2013 Remix)
Posted by Middy on October 11, 2013
Yes technically the title of the track is the bootleg of “Be” and “Show Me Love” by Hardwell, but the men of the hour here are NYC duo Filtercrush. This may not be for everyone, especially for those who are in love with the iconic piano of the original, but the NYC duo keep the melody, but add their own percussive element to update for the sound of 2013. The track is free, so don’t hesitate to grab it. If you are in NYC tomorrow, put on your swanky suit and dancing shoes, and come to see Filtercrush at Lavo.

After seeing this particular tweet earlier this week, it’s safe to say I am one confused kitten…
The ???? is out of the bag! Trippy turtle is @CASHMERECAT
— BenZel (@OfficialBenzel) October 8, 2013
It didn’t take much time to come to terms with the fact that Cashmere Cat’s sound is so distinct that there was no way he couldn’t be the man behind Trippy Turtle. Which then lead me to question the true identity of the similar sounding producers Booty Beaver and D-D-DJ Yolo Bear, as well. The signature mattress squeaks and tambourines, the Drake references and remixes, the alliterated names, the “FoFo FaDis” for crying out loud. It suddenly all made sense…
And you know, while I’m still not entirely sure BenZel’s revealing tweet has been verified, nor this theory of my own, I’m not too worried about it anymore anyways because the Norwegian producer, Magnus August Høiberg (under whichever alias he prefers) (or whoever any of these musically-inclined critters actually are) has dropped some faaaantastic tracks this week. And that’s what we’re all here for anyways, right? I’ve bundled them all up for you here below in alphabetical order for your listening pleasure. And in the mean time, I’ll be brainstorming the perfectly catchy anthropomorphic nickname for my alter-egos. Hit me up if you come up with any good ones, your submissions are much appreciated.

Electro-House | Hardwell & MAKJ – Countdown
Posted by Middy on October 8, 2013
Hardwell has dominated 2013. It would be an upset if he did not win the DJ Mag popularity contest this year with his fanboys coming out in such force supporting him. His track with MAKJ “Countdown” probably should have been released for the North American festival season, since its minimal drops were perfect for the main stages that he seemed to live on, but alas the track that made its debut at UMF is here. Get ready for this to be quite popular this winter as this style of track seems to show no signs of slowing down.

Playlists | Warm Air Vol. 2

Well folks, it’s been real. Tomorrow, Sept 22, marks the official end of summer 2013. In honor of the change in season, I present to you the second installment of my very own Warm Air mixtapes. A mix designed to ease the transition of swimsuits to sweaters and piña coladas to pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha lattes. A mix to warm you up in the cool autumn breeze, to relive the sweet memories of the past few months, and keep your spirits up and motivated as you face challenges in school, work, and everyday life. So close your eyes, and let this mix take you back to that moment on the beach where you dug a hole in the sand with your toes as you watched the sun set, or when you indulged in the most amazing 4th of July BBQ of your life, or drove around recklessly with the top down and the radio up, or the night you watched an epic fireworks spectacle with your boo thang wrapped up tight in your arms.
Remember, just because the summer is over doesn’t mean the fun is. Oh no, 2013 can and will go out with a bang. With 3 months left to go, it’s time the real fun begins.
I’d also like to dedicated this mix to one of my most beautiful friends as she turns 21 today. Hope you enjoy this mixtape as you take your first legal swigs of alcohol today, take an extra big one for me <3
Listen to this mix via 8tracks here.

Hip-Hop | Ja Rule – Fresh Out The Pen (Prod. Myles.William X Irv Gotti X Reefa )
Posted by VMan on September 19, 2013
Yooo, Ja Rule is fresh out the pen, and he’s not letting that bring him down. Peep “Fresh Out The Pen” produced by Irv Gotti, Reefa, and the homie Myles William. Yes you’re reading this right, we are in 2013, and Ja Rule is back at it with Murdec Inc’s own Irv Gotti! If you’re wondering if he’s still any good, I think so. I’m a fan of Ja’s rawness, and I always have been. Where’s 50 at nowadays anyways? Can anyone say “Ja Rule lost the battle, but not the war?” I think so, this music game is a marathon, not a sprint… Hope to see you back at the top Mr. Rule! And for real, like Ja Rule says: I don’t pop molly, and I don’t rock Tom Ford
