Trash Yourself + Toxic Avenger
I haven’t done an electro post in a while, so, I though I’d start off this Monday morning with a few traxs to get yo up and about. The tracks come courtesy of Trash Yourself, a Glam/Electro/Thrash duo who are spitting out trax for the floor on after the other. After working on remix of […]

Lil Wayne is the Prom King
Are you annoyed by those people who seem to have it all? Whom everything seems to come to them so effortlessly? The stoner Princeton grad with the 3 series comes to mind. The three-sport varsity athlete with zero body fat and a Colgate smile. Or the hot chick with great tits and two brain cells. […]

Logan Lynn – From Pillar to Post
I’ll admit it, I have a soft spot for indie electronica. So when Protland based artist Logan Lynn sent me a promo of his new cd, From Pillar to Post, I just had to take a listen, and what I heard was pretty good. There is a huge indie music scene in Portland and Logan […]

New Basement Jaxx – She’s No Good
Basement Jaxx is coming out with a new EP, Planet 3, and I thought I would share a track from it. Its not a usual Basement Jaxx track, but still catchy as hell. The track is called She’s No Good, and is a nice, funky, jazzy track with Basement Jaxx’s signature style all over it. […]

It’s Spring time people. Time […]

Ah.. spring vibes
Electronica is one genre that I believe – like Jazz – has a certain structure, but various artists are taking that structure and evolving it to different levels. DJ Tatana is one of these artists. She makes progressive and vocal beats that make me think twice about whether I’d mix her tracks into a house […]
Leger//Minimal beats
Sebastien Leger is mad chill. No kidding. He’s into minimal beats (and you will seldom hear his tracks with any vocals or any complex flanger-like, wavy sounds), but they are fresh, and straight to the beat as I like to call it. Check out these two tracks onetime when you get the chance: Sebastien Leger […]
Dark vibes, anyone?
Dark, bass-driven trance is something Markus Schulz and his label, Coldharbour Recordings, have become known for. Check out Markus Schulz feat. Departure – Cause you know (Nic Chagall remix): … and the much downtempo “my” version:
