Our Italian homies Ackeejuice Rockers (Claudio King P & Ali Selecta) have just finished a bangin’ new EP and will be releasing it for FREE very soon. The EP titled, “Dancehall Scheme” features two originals and a trap remix by Ckrono & Slesh. I was excited about this release because it stays true to the moombahton/dancehall vibes that had me head over heels for the genre in the first place….
Happy Fat Tuesday everybody!!! I hope everyone is getting loose today, and those of you in L.A. should be heading to Dim Mak Studios tonight to see our boy Doorly throw down. We were able to grab a quick interview with him earlier today and will post it later this week along with footage from tonight’s show. But for now i’ve just got a few mixes i’ve been checking out…
Our Midwest bruddah, Jay Fay, has just given us all a nice Valentine’s day gift with the release of his new EP titled, “Bonkers”, which just came out today on Young Robots Records. This four track EP packs a serious Moombahton punch. BTW, I can’t believe Beatport STILL doesn’t have a Moombahton genre category on their website. Shame on them. This EP really showcases how Jay’s sound has evolved in…
L.A.’s gLAdiator (Ian Johnson & Danl Goodman) have been making waves in the dance music scene with there constant stream of brilliant remixes and originals. Their high energy brand of moombahton, electro and dubstep have gained them support from the likes of Diplo, Dillon Francis, Heartbreak, ETC!ETC! and Valerna just to name a few. The boys are releasing a free remix EP this Friday (which I had the pleasure of…
Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing a couple of amazing djs from Italy that have been making a name for themselves with their high energy, electro infused dancehall and moombahton sounds. Claudio King P and Ali Selecta, two mates from Italy who bonded over their mutual interest in music, are better known as Ackeejuice Rockers (we’ll get to the name later). Recently signed to the fresh new Overcooked Records…
It’s Friday, and i’m sure you’re all as happy as I am about that. I’ve got a few goods here to tide you over until cocktail hour begins. Whenever that magical time arrives, whether it be five o’clock, ten o’clock or even noon, don’t feel shy about turning up the volume and getting LOOSE. Sam Tiba’s latest mix is up and you can be sure it’s full of tricked out…
Last Friday in Hollywood the sound of bass was all around as Dillon Francis and dubstep legend, Caspa tested the limits of the sound system at the Avalon for it’s weekly Friday CONTROL party. I’ve seen both artists before but it was great seeing them back to back in one of my favorite clubs. Dillon’s set was full of his signature jump-up tunes with plenty of dubstep and a sprinkling…
Hello there all! I’ve been away from the blog for far to long and I have to say i’m excited as hell to be back here peddling what I think is great dance music. Every year my work sends out a Holiday gift to a ton of people in the film industry and they are all made in house and by hand. I wont go into detail on what we…
Over the past couple of weeks i’ve been super busy screen printing thousands (yes, thousands) of textiles by hand for my company’s holiday gift they send out every year. Because of this i’ve been unable to post a lot of great stuff i’ve been hearing lately. Thankfully for me, durring those multi-hour-long sessions under the press i’ve been able to listen to some really dope mixes by some great artists….
Yeah i’m hella late with these videos but i’ve got my excuses. This party was sick, and Nadastrom always makes a sweaty mess of the dance floor. Always hella chicks on stage and people just getting into general freak mode, myself included. MOOMBAHTON! Also, if you ever see BONES’ name on a flyer it means you need to go to that show. I’ve seen him open a grip of times…
Vancouver DJ and producer Pat Lok has just released his latest EP off On The Fruit Records. The “No Shame EP” features two original tracks by Pat Lok although it’s the remixes that really stand out to me which feature support from Bit Funk, Goldroom, Volta Bureau, and OHYEAH. OHYEAH and Bit Funk each destroy their respective remixes. OHYEAH’s version is more for the club and Bit Funk’s is more…
We’ve been away this long weekend being lazy, but not lazy enough not to go to shows. Over the Thanksgiving holiday I was able to see Nadastrom, Codes and Bart B More live, albeit not all in the same evening. I’ve seen all of these acts before and it’s pretty obvious why I decided to see them again. THEY ARE ALL AWESOME. I’ll save the Nadastrom videos for a separate…
Hey y’all. Sorry for the lack of content this week, i’ve been busy as hell at work preparing for the holidays and screen printing like a madman. It’ll all be worth it tonight when i’m gettin down to the sounds of Mustard Pimp, Hot Pink Delorean and Betatraxx at the Avalon in Hollywood. If you’re in the neighborhood you don’t wanna miss this. Gonna kick it off with one of…
I first heard Jay Fay’s music early in 2011 and was really excited that the talented young producer was from my hometown area of St. Louis, Missouri. He represents the new generation of young artists who are embracing the ever dissolving boundaries between genres, and is currently flexing his creative muscles in the world of Moombahton, which itself represents the further blurring of artistic boundaries in dance music. After several…
Before we get into today’s bag of goodies, i’d like to take a moment to honor all the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for all of us ever since the founding of this great place I like to call my homeland. Today, we raise our glasses and our volume faders to all of you in the service. We are grateful for all of you. Cheers! I…
