Mixtapes | Clinton Sparks- My Awesome Mixtape II

Posted by on February 15, 2012


I don’t think you’re really ready for this. This is something serious. Coming off a recent Grammy nomination for his work on Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” album, Clinton drops a massive tape on the blogosphere. The tape features original production as well as remixes to some of Clinton’s favorite songs with an audio forward by the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. Yes, snakes on a plane Samuel L. Jackson. Below, I’ve included a direct download link to the entire project. Hit “read more” to check out the awesome tracklist. Get familiar!

Electro | Scott Summers- I Am Scott Summers (Mixtape)

Posted by on February 6, 2012


When P from H-Town sends tracks over, I know it’s something serious. I’m not even a big remix guy, so you know this mixtape is solid. Scott has been producing and song writing for over 10 years and has a knack for banging out hot originals (and models). His influences include RedOne, Max Martin, and Swedish House Mafia. Not a bad lineup if you ask me. Below, I’ve included my two favorite cuts from the project (one of which Interscope picked up as the official remix) as well as the link to the entire project. If you like what you hear, be sure to “Like” his Facebook page here.

Dubstep | Jayglo – Surprise!

Posted by on January 27, 2012

This track was posted up on Inspected Records youtube a few days ago. Silently, Jayglo posted a random link on his facebook this morning with the 320 kbps download for it. The track has a funky dubstep vibe to it, reminds me of the kind of work that KOAN Sound does. It’s always nice to see artists steer away from the generic dubstep sound. Got to make that Jayglo, haha.

Dubstep | Skrillex Bangarang EP

Posted by on December 23, 2011

The long gruesome wait for new material from Skrillex is finally over. The Bangarang EP has finally released, and although it doesn’t have all the tracks most people were looking for including myself, it is better than nothing. The worst part was finding out that Summit was actually the track everyone thought was called “Breathe”. I felt that “Right On Time” was just a track to take up space, because it was just an overall terrible track in my opinion. At one point throughout the track I felt like I should be doing the Melbourne shuffle, until the BPM finally changed in the middle of the track.

Kyoto is the track that stands out to me most as the top track for this EP. Although the many versions of Ruffneck Bass were leaked well in advance of their releases, this version blew them all out of the water. Devil’s Den was something different, and Wolfgang Gartner’s style could be seen through this track. I can’t blame Skrillex for putting these tracks out seeing as he just completed over 300+ shows in a year and managed his own label, but hopefully the next EP shows us why he was nominated for five Grammy awards. Here is the link to grab it on BEATPORT.

Electro | Mach & Middy’s Electro Essentials

Posted by on October 18, 2011

Art Provided By DJ COMAN

In my opinion this playlist has turned out to be a 100 times better than the dubstep essentials. As I have explained many times before, the idea is to create these lists with a partner so as to make the list a little less biased than one persons favorites. Middy and myself spent just about an entire week discussing and building this great playlist. Containing 29 ear melting tracks, you can play this monster list at work, a party, or even late nights doing homework. Below are a few teaser tracks from the list and a link to view the track list. Hip-Hop Essentials are the next to come from Grubeats and Cstan.
