Mix | La Griffe – Les Inseparables
Posted by mimada on April 17, 2014
If you pride yourself in being coooool or trendy, or having a unique, underground taste in music then you just need to go ahead and hold your horses because what I’m about to show you about is going to rock your world. Meet La Griffe, a DJ duo comprised of two brothers, one based in France and the other in the Big Apple. Taking into account these guys therefore have two major global music outlets on lock, you can only imagine their exquisite taste and even more exquisite library of jams. This mixtape, which is apparently the 4th Volume of the “L’Amour en Crescendo” Collection, features an assortment of songs, beats, and remixes I quite frankly haven’t heard anywhere else. Don’t be turned away if you feel a little uncertain about the mixtape at first, just take a deep breath and you’ll find yourself grooving before you know it. My recommendation? While getting ready to go out tonight or anytime this long weekend, light some candles, make yourself a cocktail, download this, turn it on and let it take you away.
Electro | Logic feat. Jhene Aiko – Break It Down (Louis Futon Remix)
Posted by mimada on April 16, 2014
Philly duo Louis Futon may be still be arguably “new” to the scene, but their discography and social media following proves these boys mean business. They’ve got heaps of original releases in addition to a handful of remixes, each one varying a little bit in genre from the next. This delightful remix of Logic and Jhene Aiko’s “Break It Down” is, as the say, perfect for those summertime vibes. I hate to spoil this track by pointing out its similarities to Kaytranada’s style, so just think of it as Louis Futon’s own spin on that groovy feel.
On that note, you may have heard Louis Futon on Ta-Ku’s latest “Drive Slow, Homie, Part III,” in which case you should make note that track will be featured on their upcoming EP, still TBA. In the mean time, snatch this free download and toss it on your poolside playlist stat.

Jersey Club | Rusty Hook – Get So Fly
Posted by mimada on April 6, 2014
As soon as you hear that iconic riff, you’ll already know what it is – but lemme just tell you to wait a second because this is, quite frankly, even better. As soon as I pressed play on Bordeaux-producer, Rusty Hook’s Baby Bash remix, “Get So Fly,” I straight up got the chills! Imagine the original, except without the cheesy lyrics, with a Jersey Club twist and full of unexpected breaks and pauses that leave you just dying to hear more. In the short amount of time this track has been live via Cosmonostro and Marmorean Records, it has already ran dry of free downloads, but you can still take 4 minutes and 20 seconds to get absolutely lifted, shifted, and higher than the ceiling (you know the rest).

Bass, Deep House | NVOY – Don’t Ever
Posted by mimada on March 30, 2014
With the arrival of springtime and summer a moment away on the horizon, it seemed inevitable that the UK house duo NVOY would provide us with something to cater to those vibes. While their previous releases have all been deep, club-appropriate bangers, this track is a much airier one that I envision myself hearing at some chic, rooftop, poolside day party in the upcoming months, full of trendy socialites with good taste in music and bottomless Aperol Spritz. But I mean, even if I still don’t get an invite to the party, I’m confident in the growing hype of NVOY, this track will still be spinning. Hold your breath for their first official release here soon!

Throwbacks | Valentines Slowjams Chapter VII
Posted by mimada on February 14, 2014
I’m gonna go ahead and say this mixtape is either exactly what you’d expect or quite the opposite coming from Hudson Mohawke (probably the former if you’re a regular of this mixtape series), but I can say with certainty it is exactly what you need on this special day. Take a trip back in time and find out what love sounded like when your parents were gettin’ their groove thaang on, complete with all the sexy saxophone and backup singers you could ever ask for. Light the candles, sprinkle some rose petals, run the bath water and let the fun begin…
