obviously.

so this is officially goodbye. if i start any new projects, i’ll be sure to post them here.

<3'z

you can listen to it now via stuntman’s soundcloud, but if you want to download it, you’ll have to wait until it’s available on don’t trust humans.

stuntman – don’t trust humans mix, october 2010

be on the look out for business transaction, a super-hot song that somehow straddles both spooky and sexy without sounding cheesy.

go back to 2006 for a minute and check out the video for sleep sweet:

this actually reminds me of a couple other songs i really like.

geographer – kites:

the juliana theory – emotion is dead part 1

i must say, i’m not the biggest fan of most of the juliana theory’s stuff. other than these two songs (and a super-emo-tronic song called ‘you always say goodnight’) i don’t recommend you listen to them. heh.

the juliana theory – emotion is dead part 2

one of my favorite disco biscuits songs, mirrors:

ellie goulding – the wolves (bon iver cover):

cold war kids – hang me up to dry:

mumford & sons – blank white page:

that’s all for today. have a splendid weekend, lovelies.

listen to graphics – ok rainbow:

in case you missed it the first time around, i touched on the greatness that is graphics a while back. the biko remix is still one of my favorite tunes of all time. (of all time!!!) this particular producer just knows how to capture raw emotion and morph it into pretty sounds… leaving the listener feeling slightly heavy, leaving the listener thinking and questioning. i like that kind of music.

501 – higher ground

gonna try to compile posts like this more often… considering the fact that i actually started this blog with that in mind.

so here ya go:

blue mar ten – nobody here (kastle remix)

florence and the machine – cosmic love

statelapse – waiting (diesel remix)

matt-u – watchin u

this tune is absolutely huge. it’s been forthcoming on subway for a while now… if anyone knows of a definite release date, please pass the info along! it’s the kind of tune that kind of makes you feel uncomfortable – in a really good kind of way.

and this next tune… you’d have to be on crack to think i’d even possibly be able to leave it out of any list involving tunes i’ve been digging lately. (or… forever. this man is amazing.)

eskmo – cloudlight

pieces of skylight.

von d & dj madd – u / it’s over

katy b – katy on a mission

the naked and famous – young blood

falty dl – my friends will always say

boards of canada – dayvan cowboy

modeselektor – let your love grow

mia – xxxo (various remix)

another tune you’d have to be on crack to think i’d leave out:

rusko – hold on fr. amber coffman (subfocux remix)

when that drumstep bassline and that disgusting synth kick in… i freak out. doesn’t really matter where i am/what i’m doing… i freak out.

that’s enough for now.

cleveland’s brent still life cannot stop doing good things to draw attention to his name. everyone agrees: the man is a more-than-talented dj. in addition to throwing it down in the club (and throwing parties that don’t suck), he also apparently can’t stop spitting out sick songs.

recently signed to savory audio, bloodshot agenda is a must-have for anyone serious about sub bass. (it’s easy accessible on itunes, too!)

listen to brent still life – bloodshot agenda:

brent still life teamed up with another cleveland-based dj, promoter and producer, thunder st. clair(TSC) about a year ago to turn out a remix of DZ’s up & down.

listen to DZ – up & down (brent still life & thunder st. clair remix)

the still life/st. clair collaboration was featured on badman press’ release of the up & down remixes ep. (you can easily download it via itunes, too!)

TSC is one of the main reasons cleveland’s dubstep event sub:merged continues to grow each month. (speaking of sub:merged… rumor is things are about to get purple again in october! we saw ginz earlier this summer… so this can really mean only one thing. YUP.)

between both of these boys, cleveland is bound to become more than just a blip on the radar of brrrap.

fenech soler – lies

the original:

the doctor p remix:

still looking for a downloadable version of this tune? look no further.

plan b – the recluse

the original:

the nero remix:

big up magazine is giving away this track for free in honor of dubs friday. which was… yesterday.

you know you love a mix when you can listen to it as much as i have listened to this one. i guarantee you will love it, too, cuz i know you guys love hip hop and this mix is chock full of crunkified goodness. there are bits of aural nostalgia scattered throughout, the beat will keep your hips swaying for sixty minutes straight and, in case you were wondering, fresh young minds (aka FYM) doesn’t really mess around with anything that isn’t absolutely bulging with body-shaking and spine-tingling bass.

listen to FYM live at electric soiree in santa cruz 8.14.10:

fresh young minds is one half of the bay area dubstep duo known as blackheart, but has had basslines flowing through his veins for as long as he can remember. he’s successfully melting a whole hell of a lot of faces these days with his particular style, which really doesn’t fit into any particular mold – other than being straight up danceworthy.

it’s definitely worth mentioning that the other half of blackheart is doing big tingz, too. bad/media is a natural behind the decks (not exaggerating) and has been killing the production game lately, too. this guy takes sound juxtaposition to a whole new level. but don’t just take my word for it – listen to his most recently signed tune for yourself.

check out bad/media – time to kill:

yeahhhhhhhh. just when you think the song couldn’t get any better, IT GETS BETTER.

bad/media = good/music. and thank goodness for good music.

p.s. need a drumstep fix? check back soon for a brand-spankin-new, heavy-on-the-drumstep mix from fresh young minds and do yourself a favor and check out this killer dubstep vs. drumstep mix laid down by long-time tNEP favorite rastatronics.

*check the comments section of that post for a potentially awesome starkbass-related find.

i’m a long-time fan of pretty much anything either one of the the spit brothers touch (remember last year when i went crazy over dubsworth’s oldie-but-goodie hate radicals mixtape and gushed about how it was the best first few minutes of a mix evar?) and this tune proves that this duo will continue to push their ultimately unique yet strangely familiar classically dub sound to the limit. but honestly… you really haven’t heard anything until you’ve seen the spit brothers live.

listen to the spit brothers – done gone there (dubsworth ft. bakir):

in addition to all of the above free stuff business, dubs alive 006 was released on september 21 and features tracks from the spit brothers and other favorites including djunya, 66bocc, bakir, and luthor.

check out DAV006:

ahhh. consistently good music coming from these guys. but you already knew that.
