The Return

Following an extended hiatus, we bring you MTH's infamous midweek pull!  Been trolling soundcloud this week and picking only the ripest of the ripe for your listening pleasure.  This week we've got tracks from ESSBEEDEE, Secret Sauce, Bro Safari with ETC!ETC! and more so let's get cracking shall we?
 BRO SAFARI and ETC!ETC! with some free tunage...Mendez dropped this back in June at Muevelo and folks went a little loco.  FREE DOWNLOAD.

Here's a jazzy little diddy from Noms. Lovin' this laid back feel, perfect for a cold evening riding the train home.

Friend of the site, Valorous offered up this interesting new tune for FREEEEE last week and I felt compared to share. I believe the Mother Of Dragons would approve.

Here's another laid back tune to sway to; thee Mike B flushed out a pack of elevated tunes over the weekend and this is my fav.

Andrew Sinclair has a forthcoming EP from Think 2wice Records that label head Brent Tactic promises will be very intriguing. If this initial single is any insight I believe he's telling us the truth; here's the Secret Sauce remix. Grab the single RIGHT HERE.

Our buddy Fich aka DJ Apt One is a disco mastermind so when I spied this "Disco Dub" on his soundcloud page I knew it must be shared. His Fich So Saxy EP is available everywhere now, grab this Frank Ocean rework for FREE then grab his commercial release RIGHT HERE.

Been really stoked on Milangeles of late...this dancehall tinged juke remix for Copia Doble Systema is a prime example of the correct ways to use a whistle on a track....BOOM FREE DOWNLOAD.

Die hard readers will understand my love of huge claps and throwback rhythms...this Ben Tactic original has both, thank goodness. Dude is calling this "303" and real producers will get that reference as well. FREE DOWNLOAD

Our friends La'Reda dropped this new single on Monday and it knocks. Support these cats by purchasing the "Synth-Rex" single RIGHT HERE.

This might be the pick of the litter right here folks...something about the soaring 90's-esque vocals that really appeals to my core. I grew up with Snap, La Bouche, and folks like Ace Of Base so I'm always stoked when new iterations of that style show up on my dashboard. Big ups to Brenmar on this one.

The homie David Heartbreak teamed up with Alexandre for this maddeningly deranged remix. Dude is always coming at us with some left field shit and I gotta give him the credit he is due; it's crazy how tight his production has become and how bonkers he's gotten lately on this underground bass sound he's cultivating.

Wrapping things up with this new tune from ESSBEEDEE...apparently Sam is down for some HOVA! Big ups to the Deadly Vipers for releasing the tune, make sure to grab the FREE DOWNLOAD.

That's gonna do it for this week. Hope you all enjoy these tracks, make sure to buy them where noted and download all the freebies at your leisure. If you haven't checked out our latest episode of the "Don't Be Shy" podcast make sure to do that RIGHT HERE, or just head over to the RADIO tab to listen to all our podcasts and mix shows. The midweek pull will return on October 3rd so till then, keep your pants on, be safe, and have a great week!

Mad Disco Vibes from Young Robots

Fashen's So Complete EP came out in May of this year to solid reviews, he's been tearing up the DJ scene for over a decade and believe it or not, this was his first solo release of original work.  Today we've been blessed with a four track remix EP from Young Robots.  With flips from Solidisco, Sammy Bananas, Bang Noyes, and (Thee) Mike B that range from down tempo to sexy Chicago house to dancey disco vibes.  Fashen's been holding down Dim Mak Sunday's here in LA for quite some time so we're stoked his work behind the decks translates so well into fully produced original tracks...and hot damn!  He's inspired some pretty impressive remixes on top of that!  My personal fav has to be Sammy Bananas' slow and funky groove...y'all know I'm stoked on that top-down feel.  It's the type of track I'd slam into my cassette deck on a hot summer night whilst driving my 1991 IROC-Z with the t-tops off...and I'd be pulling all the fine ass tail.  This thing is hot!  Buy it RIGHT HERE...previews below.  Oh and make sure to grab the original RIGHT HERE!

That Long Weekend Feeling

As stated earlier I'm heading to San Diego tomorrow to cover Comic-Con for GoRadio so I wanted to jump on my mixtape blog today to get in the mood and possibly pick up a few mixes for my (and hopefully some of your) trip!  So many tapes, they've been falling like rain over the last few days and since I missed last week I've got some pilling up in my soundcloud favorites.  Fresh mixes from A-Trak, Crookers, Pipes, and many more so let's get to 'em!!












Ok that's it!!!  Now I'm seriously going outta town so if you need me tweet me, send me a facebook message, or some soundcloud hate mail if you wish but there probably won't be any more posts till next Monday folks!!  That is unless something amazing happens which in all likelihood could be the case buuuuuuuut don't plan on it!  Have a great rest of your week y'all!!

Friday! Friday! Friday!

Man...you people don't even know how lucky you are.  I'm sitting here, on vacation, with a glass of beer in my hand and all I can think about is how necessary it is to my life to get my weekly mixtape blog done.  Wait a minute, maybe it's not you that has a problem it's me...too much vacation??  Is it weird to say I'll be glad to go back to work on Monday?  How likely is it that come Monday afternoon I'll wish I was back on vacation?  I'd say it's a 100% chance...in that case, let's quit the talking and get on to the mixtapes y'all!!  After all, it's Friday, that means it's time to party.










That's it dudes and dudettes...since this is my first mixtape post in 3 weeks I'm reaching into the past and pulling old tapes out for you cause you may or may not have heard them.  That's gonna be it for the week but I promise to be back here bright and early Monday bringing you the newest of the new and the heaviest of the heavy.  Also, June is shaping up to be a great month down on the blog so stay tuned for big and great things to come.  Make sure to check us out on facebook, twitter, soundcloud, and now MIXCLOUD for more amazing things!

SXSW Massiveness

For those of you holding it down in Austin tonight at SXSW...I'm extremely jealous.  First of all you get to enjoy some amazing BBQ but mostly because you have a chance to go to this wild and crazy event tonight.  All the regulars will be holding it down, Nadastrom in particular will be spinning their upteenth massive, but this will be an especially awesome show as all the big time moombahtonistas who are chillin' at SXSW will surely be in attendance, plus I hear they're giving away free shirts to a select few so get there early!  If you don't already know, here's a little audio preview of what likely will be going down.

Wednesday Afternoon Mix

thee Mike B

LA mixmaster (thee) Mike B dropped the third in his "Watch Your Ton" mixtape series and he so graciously is offering it up for free so we here at MTH thought we'd pass it along.  Featuring a handful of B's infamous edits and heavy hitters from Nadastrom, Riot Earp, Pickster, Melo, Ben Tactic, and A-Mac, it's sure to set the mood to any occasion.
