AUDIO PREMIERE: the chemical brothers - sometime i feel so deserted

the chemical brothers - sometime i feel so deserted
besides their contribution to the hunger games soundtrack last year, it's been almost 5 years since the chems have put out new material. with their album 'born in the echoes' coming out in july, this first single shows us the brothers still know how to work it out. definitely hypnotic, i can't wait to hear more in the coming months!!

INDIE MIX: klaxons - show me a miracle

klaxons - show me a miracle
the amazing brthr direct this trippy electro pop trap jam from london trio klaxons. with their album 'love frequency' released last month, this track is easily a highlight from that collection. turn it up, cause it's hella catchy!

INDIE DANCE MIX: supreme cuts feat channy - envision

supreme cuts feat channy - envision
there's something so free flow with this song, as if there's no song structure (even though it falls under dance music) which makes it totally compelling. turns out chicago based producer/dj's austin keultjes and mike perry (aka supreme cuts) call their surrealist sound "exquisite corpse" (where one person adds on elements after another one finishes). throw in the vocals of polica's channy and you've got a strange interesting sound for your week.

INDIE DANCE MIX: syron feat horror stories - three dreams

syron feat horror stories - three dreams
i'm a sucker for 90's rave piano hooks! throw in those block rockin beats and i'm all yours syron!

DANCE BITCH DANCE: sub focus feat yolanda quartey - turn back time

sub focus feat yolanda quartey - turn back time
mashing up house music (there's a todd terry sample yo!), current EDM tropes and a smidgen of rave, it's fun to hear how the talented sub focus is trying out different sounds to create something strictly his own. now if only i can find where i stashed my light stick...

JUST AWESOME: fatboy slim, riva starr & beardyman - eat drink rave repeat (calvin harris remix)

fatboy slim, riva starr & beardyman - eat drink rave repeat (calvin harris remix)
and on and on and on and on!!!!

DANCE MIX: chase & status feat moko - count on me

chase and status feat moko - count on me
it's a full on dance day and i'm just going to be posting some of the silly/awesome jams that i've been going mad for. first up is this TOTAL ode to 90's rave/house music by the awesome chase & status. we went bonkers for this tune back in august and here is the official video. still utterly stoopid yet TOTALLY makes me wanna dance!

SUNDAY CATCH UP MIX: stylo g feat sister nancy - badd

stylo g feat sister nancy - badd
why this summer dancehall future anthem was released in the beginning of fall is beyond me. but if there's any bass/rave infused track that makes you wanna silly boogie, this is definitely a great contender. turn it up!! amazing!

VIDEO PREMIERE!: m.i.a. - bring the noize

m.i.a. - bring the noize
damn this song is a tough punch in the gut! m.i.a. offers up her hard sound to ease her fans into her upcoming album 'matangi' (though more like a drop kick). the beats are crazy, the video is visually dynamic and well... just press play!

COOL NSFW THURSDAYS: die antwoord - cookie thumper

die antwoord - cookie thumper
i definitely have a weird crush on yoladi vi$$er of die antwoord. her freeky look and ghetto pixie swagger has amassed a cultlike love which will definitely be increased as she bootie shakes her way into some serious NSFW lovin by her gangsta boyfriend. the video is hypnotic and naughty, you have been warned!

THURSDAY PICKS: chase & status feat louis m^tters - lost and not found

chase & status feat louis m^tters - lost and not found
further proof that 90's dance culture is back in full force, chase & status offer up their 1st single from their upcoming album and it's a full on rave/breakbeat gem with the soothing vocals of louis m^tters floating above it all. hot!

POP GAL: annie - tube stops and lonely hearts

annie - tube stops and lonely hearts
celebrating 90's rave culture and italo house, pop dance norwegian diva annie returns with this steady hypnotic number co-produced by the UK pop powerhouse xenomania. it's not as insta-catchy as her previous efforts, but it sure is nice to hear new material after 4 years away. welcome back!

DANCE CATCH UP SUNDAY: monsta - holdin on (skrillex and nero remix)

monsta - holdin on (skrillex and nero remix)
i've been holding up a treasure trove of dance tracks on my ipod and figure today is probably the best day to just pass on what i've been jamming to in my head for the past few months. this remix by skrillex and nero is so insane because it literally feels like someone playing laser tag in your brain. yes, i just compared dubstep to laser tag...

wanna hear the original? here it is below:
monsta - holdin on

REEEMIX!: the prodigy - breathe (zeds dead remix)

the prodigy - breathe (zeds dead remix)
yeah, this remix falls under the F**K yeah category!
