The Final Piece..

I've really been diving into alot of programs lately, namely Ableton, and working with a bunch of production aspects. I'm loving it basically, and although i don't feel any of MY work is ready to be displayed, I've been having good fun with this series of mixtapes. There WILL be a real post soon. Do NOT lose hope. I am just a lazy selfish slob and have been really interested in this lately. And school and some side projects as well but.. anyway. CZECH:

Keep Mashin'

Not so long ago i recall a conversation me and Mack were having on the subject of "Mashups" and what we thought of them. Naturally, to me, a mashup is a step lower than any track, remix or original, I said to him. In retrospect, I am here again, posting yet another Mashup. I feel like my previous opinion had to do with the fact that the mashups I was hearing were low quality, rap and pop tracks slammed together to create some sort of "ultimate monster banger" out of two "huge" songs. But in recent months, I've learned that they're insanely useful, as learning tools and performance tools. Without further ado, here is my newest mashup, CHECK:

Wolfgang Gartner Vs. Charlie Boy Feat. Juvenile - The Agenda Looks Good (Tigorilla's Hittin' Tha' Club Mashup)
^4:36 is my favorite part f'sho

BONUS:

Crookers Vs. Khia - My Neck, My Nobb (Sqzmylmns Mashup)
^Oldie on the scene, but the first track that showed me that mashups can be just as good as songs. Grab it if you ain't got this gem.

Peace.Love.Electro.

MNC

Been working hard of late, new DJ crew on the Champaign scene Milk N' Cookies has been officially launched to the interweb. Check us out heezy:

Holla at us at MNC, but more likely than not, both blogs will mirror each other. I'll be throwing up our mixtapes on here along with any tracks/gigs we snag, so hold tight on that. Some more picks from the last haul, serious gems here being Wolfgang & Hot Mouth, but yo CHECK:

Britney Spears - 3 (Wolfgang Gartner Remix)

I stopped listening to Wolfgang track's before i download them. I just know they're gonna be good. This is fire.

The Bulgarian Feat. A Girl and A Gun - Rocket Action Hero (Hot Mouth Remix)

Them horns with them bassline = niceeeee.

BONUS:
Bring Me the Horizon - Sleep With One Eye Open (Tek-One Remix)

Absoultely dirty, dirty dubstep with screamo. So hard.

Mack was seeking this track, and although i'm sure most of you have it, those who don't, click here now.

Evolution

The new CDJ-2000s were officially released last night at Midnight Cali time, and i am insanely impressed. Not only did they have the expected mp3/usb/sc card compatibility, but new effects like Needle Search? I can see how useful that is already. Might as well have taken out the previous search keys. The new player incorporates the best of all worlds, with an auto 4 beat that can decide for itself what you were thinking, and jumps to the nearest beat if you juuust missed it. It's like having the 800's loop bank in one button. Hot Cues are still hot cues, which are great. I've kinda skirted the main addition, which is the new music library function. Basically, it provides DJs with the ability to fuck CDs. Which is useful. My CDs are already taking up way too much room in my tiny ass dorm. Basically I wish i had them. Time to start saving...

Also available are the CDJ-900s! The 900 is the toned down, probably cheaper, version of the 2000. Instead of Hot Cues, they keep the Hot Loops from the 800's. The don't have Needle Search or the built in "roll effect." I'm curious to see how each of these will fare. I've always wondered why Pioneer keeps the Hot Loops/Hot Cues seperate from each other. Hmm..

So next weekend Diplo and Aoki are coming to Hong Kong and playing at Dragon-i. Very excited to see Diplo for the first time and of course to see Aoki again. Will be more details about it after but I think its gonna be one hell of a night!

So first up a nice Diplo remix I'm diggin

La Roux – In For The Kill (Diplo & Bot edit) [320kbps]

Next a big shout out to my boy AntEater! He first showed me this track and I gotta say I am very impressed. Stereoheroes holdin it down right now for sure, definitely worth a listen

Stereoheroes - Juke Dem Hoes [320kbps]

Wolfgang Gartner is the man, nothing new there

Wolfgang Gartner – Squares [320kbps]

Everyone loves a Klaas remix, they always sounds epic in clubs and are just generally good all around mixes. No exception here

Corona – The Rhythm Of The Night (Klaas remix) [192kbps]

Enjoy!
