Logic – Young Sinatra Mixtape

May 2, 2012 in Hip-Hop by mchance | No comments

Hey everybody. It’s been a minute so I wanted to share some tunes with you. We’ve been having issues with our download hosting if you haven’t noticed, so hopefully we get it worked out soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this killer mixtape from hip hop up-and-comer Logic.

While I’m not the biggest hip hop fan and far from an expert, I can tell you that a tape this good shouldn’t be free. There’s samples from Nas, Notorious B.I.G., Frank Sinatra and Justice to go with some really great beats from under the radar producers 6ix and C-Sick. Look out for Logic, he’s got the potential to take the music world by storm.

Marcutio

April 27, 2012 in Electronic, Hip-Hop by cquattr | No comments

I have to say, this post is long overdue.  I was introduced to the homegrown Michigan artist Marcutio quite some time ago, but he is worth your full attention right now.  The Kalamazoo, MI based producer/DJ is the definition of versatile, throwing down everything from funky dance beats to bass filled electro that hits all the right wavelengths.  Check out and download one of my favorite tracks below, and make sure to spend a minute on his Soundcloud and check the website for more killer tracks:

 

 

Cee Roo – Sunshine of Your Love (ft. Ella Fitzgerald) (Marcutio Remix)

SebastiAn/Mayer Hawthorne – Tiesto + Wolfgang Gartner – Mat Zo – Bassjackers – Diplo – Alex Guadino & More

April 10, 2012 in Electro, Electronic, House, Rock, Trance, Uncategorized by mchance | No comments

Hey everybody. It has come to my attention that our page loads slowly for some of you. Until I can fix it, the best way to load pages quickly is to head over to our Facebook and like our page where you can easily open new posts one at a time as they flow in. Not trying to shamelessly self-promote, but I want you to be able to enjoy tunes in the fastest, most convenient way possible.
Now that business is taken care of, let’s jam.

 

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

SebastiAn – Embody || Much to my chagrin, I’ve only recently discovered the phenomenon that is SebastiAn. I like his style more and more with every track and if you’re a lover of rock and roll and electronic music I highly suggest you get familiar. This one is from last spring and probably plays at the gates of Heaven. here

SesbastiAn & Mayer Hawthorne – Love in Motion || here

Tiesto & Wolfgang Gartner – We Own the Night || Due to be realeased on Tiesto’s new label Musical Freedom, this is a monster collaboration of two giants. A great vocal on top of Space Junk-esque synths and classic Tiesto horns. This one’s a rip from a radio podcast and heads straight into Guetta & Romero’s new Metropolis here

Alex Guadino – Chinatown || Alex Guadino is a house music mastermind from Salerno, Italy who’s been in the game since the mid 90s and has had recent fame in the United States with tracks like I’m in Love and his remix of Fun.’s We Are Young. Add a catchy vocal and it will reach the same status. here

Mat Zo – Superman || I’m going to keep sharing my collection of Mat Zo with you because the dude is just that good. If you look around the blogs you’ll see words like genius, master, most promising, and phenom to describe him and I really agree. The way he transitions through different genres in the same song is a blessing for those of us with musical ADD and ultimately what keeps every song he releases fresher than the last. here

Mat Zo ft. Linnea Schossow – The Sky || Speaking of genre mixing, this brand new one is sublime– haunting vocals and a tinge of dubstep in the basslines. It’s Above & Beyond’s Record of the Week and for good reason. here

Bingo Players – Get Up (Diplo Remix) || According to diplo’s twitter (follow him if you don’t. seriously. do it.) Kanye West told him “he ain’t fuckin’ with [my] circus noises” to which diplo responded “Doo-pee doop doop sounds, no more.” So I guess this one goes out to you ‘Ye. here

Also, Diplo released a book this week titled 128 Beats Per Minute: Diplo’s Visual Guide to Music, Culture, and Everything in Between. You can get it online or at Urban Outfitters. The trailer is definitely worth watching: here

Chris Lake & Lazy Rich – Stand Alone || In a recent Magnetic Mag Dada Life interview, the guys responded to a change in DJ culture through the use of social media citing twitter as the root of a lot of friendships and collaborations.

Eric Clapton – Cocaine (No Big Deal Remix) || I’m a huge Eric Clapton fan and of the school of thinking that says stuff of this caliber shouldn’t be touched in a remix… but I’ll make an exception for No Big Deal. They crush this remix and make a classic song dance floor ready. here

The S – Haunting Melodies || The S is a duo from Italy that produces electro in the vein of Mord Fustang, Porter Robinson with a dash of Glitch Mob.
