COACHELLA DAY 1!



Ahhh Coachella. Quite possibly the best weekend of the year. Amazing bands, jaw dropping surroundings, various inebriants, and a naked wizard! So to work up to this magical, crazy weekend you won't totally remember here is Day 1 of Coachella.  All the bands I've listed below are ones I think are worth checking out whether its for the whole show or just a few songs. I've put in a few tracks for each artist so that you can get a feel for them and decide for yourself who to go and see. I'll keep the writing short and to the point because there are a lot of groups and I don't feel like writing a novel for each one.

Any artists I mark with a  means I'll be seeing them for sure so make sure you come by and say hi. I've also tried to include as many collaborative tracks as possible so you can hear the different DJ's and artists playing Coachella covering or remixing each others tracks. All tracks are in one folder so enjoy and pass along to friends and sign up for the email list. 


Additional acts not mentioned here can be found on the official website.  There are also additions going on up until the day of the show. I'll let you know of anyone of note that is added as they show up and I get the time.


More after the jump...

It's Sexual and Violent





The three day weekend is here (for most of us) so I thought I would throw together a mix for everyone to get down to. Because Sunday is Valentine's day, I decided to be a gentle lover and do this right. Ill first wine and dine you with an apertif of some Love Commitee, Priors, French Horn Rebellion vs Database, and Erik Hassle. Then it's on to caviar wishes and champagne dreams as it heats up to full dance party so you can get your sweat on before getting it on. 

Full track list below:
(if it has a ! at the end, turn it up)

1. Love Committee - Just As Long As I Got You (Disco Re-Edit By Dimitri From Paris)
2. Priors - What you Need (Hey Champ Remix)
3. Database vs French Horn Rebellion - Beach & Friends (Twelves Remix)
4. Erik Hassle - Hurtful (Penguin Prison Remix)
5. Passion Pit - The Reeling (Calvin Harris Remix)

Dirty Cowboy



Friday night at V Lounge was a total shit show in the best way. Classix and Holy Ghost! went off.  Through the magic of technology and binge drinking, I was able to recreate myself cutting that place up. Above is a video of me busting out with more energy than a five hearted hummingbird on crank. I was flowing, lucid, and on fuckin' fire as exhibit A notes.

I've put up two Classixx mixes I got last year for you to enjoy.

More to follow this week, if I have the time I'm going to put together a little three day weekend mix and put it up.

Mixes

(Check out TV Carnage DVD's (who did the above video) if you ever want to have a good, weird laugh. I've got a few and they are always a trip.)

Wu-Tang vs Beatles, meet Frank vs Biggie




Blue Eyes meets Bed Stuy is an old mixtape thats been floating around forever. I recently got a complete copy of it (my old one had three tracks missing) and thought I would post it up for everyone to grab if you don't have it.

Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers is a new mash up mix that just got put out and is pretty impressive in my opinion.  Give it a download and enjoy.

Ill be back later this week with another post with more substantial writing and links, promise.
