Dubstep | Lana Del Rey – Young and Beautiful (Fracture Design Remix)

Posted by on May 21, 2013

Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful (Fracture Design Remix)I hate to be that guy to post yet another Lana Del Rey/Gatsby remix, but if you listen you will understand why I had to post this. Fracture Design has some the most beautiful progression on this Dubstep remix. Sev and I agree that Dubstep is sort of at a stand still right now, not many producers are making anything to fall in love with. On the other hand, I did fall in love with this. Enjoy.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – Skyfall

Posted by on February 27, 2013

Another Wednesday morning, another Timeflies Tuesday. No knock to the boys, they’ve been hella busy these last couple of months. But of course, they still have time to drop an awesome video every Tuesday. When I saw the first Timeflies Tuesday two summers ago, I immediately knew that it would quickly become a YouTube staple. This weeks video is one of the classics of Cal freestyling. Rez whips up a quick Skyfall beat, and puts a little pitch bend on Adele’s beautiful James Bond theme. I will never not be impressed by Cal’s ability to think on his feet and come up with sick rhymes while pulling them out of some sort of container. When I first saw the “Carry on my Wayward Son” video, I was in awe. Nothing has changed.

Bootleg, Electro-House, Mashups | Nicky Romero vs. Green Velvet. vs. Cosmic Gate – Analog Flash (Omnia Mashup)

Posted by on February 4, 2013

green velvet flash

A nice Monday afternoon freebie from Omnia, who has mashed up Nicky Romero’s famed remix of Green Velvet’s “Flash” with Cosmic Gate’s 2007 tech-trance classic “Analog Feel.” The kicky bassline, dark melody, and off-beat hi-hats on “Analog Feel” are a perfect counterpoint to Nicky Romero’s minimal but hard-hitting reboot of “Flash.”

It also (sort of) bears mention that I tweeted “camera’s ready, prepare to flash” for no discernible reason this morning (wasn’t even listening to the song), and now this is here. Weird. It’s like I have ESPN or something.

Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap | Jetpack Jones – Know Now ft. Chief (Prod. By Incise)

Posted by on December 1, 2012

Jetpack Jones is back with a new…sort of…track. “Know Now” was originally recorded under Jetpack’s previous pseudonym, VenoM. I like his new name, and movement, for that matter, much better. This song was one of the first songs that really convinced me the Lakewood native had talent. I’m sure many of you haven’t heard this song, so I’m happy to introduce it to you. I first saw “Know Now” when it was featured on one of my favorite blogs, The Kollection, over a year ago. About 4 months after that, I became a writer for The Kollection, and the rest is history. I hope you’ve enjoyed the brief glimpse into Joseph Salzer’s blogstar past, but that’s not the point of this post. Grab the track for free below and follow the Jetpack Movement captain on twitter here.

Electro-House | Tommy Trash – Sex, Drugs, Rock N Roll

Posted by on January 9, 2012

Tommy Trash dropped this club fueled electro-house heater earlier today off of Mixmash Records. I believe the title of the track reflects greatly, the sort of lifestyle that Tommy Trash continues to enjoy day in and day out. You can grab the track on Beatport.

Hip-Hop | Wiz Khalfa & Snoop Dogg – French Inhale

Posted by on October 16, 2011


Wiz Khalifa, Posner, and Snoop all on one track? Hmmm couldn’t help but to post this. This is sort of like a “suicide” soda drink, it definitely wont be for everyone, but I’m sure it’ll be intriguing enough to make you try it at least once…

Electro, Hip-Hop | Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke ft. Lil Jon: “Turbulence” | ELECTRO

Posted by on February 28, 2011

Steve Aoki and Laidback Luke’s much anticipated “Turbulence” track, featuring Lil Jon, was officially released today.

The accompanying video, which has been posted above, displays the sort of turbulance, or shall I say hurricane, that Lil Jon brings to every track he’s featured on.

Even the all-so-annoying influence of hipster-flavor in this video (which was, presumably, Aoki’s idea) can’t mask the ridiculousness of Lil Jon stomping around and whippin’ his dreads back and forth.

Hey, I’m all for hip hop merging with electro, but when it comes to useless screaming–Aoki should stick to incorporating his own vocals.

Regardless, this track is still FIRE. Give it a listen below, or purchase it here via Beatport.
