There’s still a couple weekends left in official summer, and the way the heat’s hitting most of the country (in every city besides Los Angeles, it unfairly seems) the pool weather could run into October. So why not celebrate with one more summer-celebrating mixtape? So I propose you download DJ Mehdi’s Dear Summer: 33 Minutes […]

This is a big day for just about every music nerd on the net, as 6 Daft Punk songs created for Tron Legacy have just hit the net. Kudos for @Hypetrak for putting them up on Soundcloud so we can all get a listen. As they’re tunes for a soundtrack, don’t expect any climaxing moments […]

Now that’s dedication. It took 27-year-old Atlanta-based graphic designer and prop maker Harrison Krix “seventeen months, countless hours, multiple dead ends, [and] hundreds of lessons learned” to make one helmet. Of course, this ain’t just any ordinary helmet — it’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo’s Daft Punk helmet, no less. The amount of effort is stunning, and […]

Really feeling Carte Blanche’s latest mixtape, House Party. As the name so succinctly suggests, the Ed Banger stalwarts (aka DJ Mehdi and Riton) drop tracks from some legendary house minds (Toddy Terry, Daft Punk, Inner City, Armand Van Helden, et al) blended in with some homespun tracks and remixes.

Then there was his superlative mix with Santogold, Top Ranking, […]

After seeing Justice 42 times in 6 months back in 2007 I got really kinda sick of them, I’ll be honest. Then they wrapped up Coachella in 2008 with one of the best closing sets I’ve ever seen at the festival, and all of a sudden they were back in my OK book. I mean […]

Normally I like to begin my weekend with some bangers (read: mixtapes) to get me in the mood for the weekend’s festivities. I share these with you in the hopes that it will help pump your weekend up with some new jams or much needed energy.  Hopefully it puts you in my headspace and we […]

Whether it’s his Bingo Beats mixes or prolific D&B, breakstep and 2-step productions, DJ Zinc has always remained at the top of his game. Here he is teaming up with staple muse Ms. Dynamite on the newly released “While Out”, and I gotta say I’m really feeling it. I’ve never gotten bored with this sound […]
