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!!

Midweek Productiveness

Just got back from vacation and I feel like at least a thousand bucks!  I'd probably feel like millions if my DVR hadn't missed a bunch of episodes of my favorite show...Call Of The Wildman.  I guess I'll have to catch up with the Turtleman in reruns but for now let's move on to the newest of the new, the hottest of the hot, the boldest of the bold; it's this week's edition of MTH's infamous Midweek Pull.  This week we've got great cuts from the likes of ETC!ETC!, Chong X, FUSS and much much more so let's jump right into it shall we??

The SPTT are big players in international electronica so I was pretty stoked to see this boot pop up on the good ole dashboard. Digging Nacey's classy flip of this already accessible tune, goodness gracious! It's a free download!

Banji Boys' classic gets a little update here from Brooklyn's own Barney Iller along with his homegirl Fucci. Drop this record at your next 3 vs 3 battle will you please?

The homies 2 Deep recently took a little trip to the central coast to play a gig in Salinas and hooked up with that dude PrimeTime for a little pre-game production session and this is the end result. Oh my, it's a FREE DOWNLOAD!

Our favorite trio are at it again! This time Steed Lord have updated the Whitney Houston (RIP) classic, "Thinking About You". Their classic house stylings work perfectly on this flip; it's free on their Facebook for all y'all.

Damn...I got free downloads coming outta my ears! I probably should be holding onto some of these for myself but you know me, I'm such a giving person! Here's FUSS remixing TC's "Jump".

Y'all know I'm a sucker for some Cumbia right?? That's why I really love Chong X lately, he's been blasting some awesome stuff lately and you should check it out!

This remix from ETC!ETC! was featured yesterday on the MTV Hive blog...sooooooo, I'm just jumping on the band wagon I suppose but damn, it's a good one! And what's this??? FREE DOWNLOAD

Last but not least we have the first of what Willy Joy says will be a weekly free track, Free Willy Wednesdays! This week it's a trap remix of Chief Keef.

Well folks that's it for this week's pull. Make sure to get with us on Facebook, twitter, and of course soundcloud so you can keep up with us every second of every day!! You filthy stalkers.

Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday!

Oh me oh my!  Here we are again ladies and germs, the week is half way through so it's that time once more for our fancy-dancy midweek pull!  This week I'm celebrating the fact that I'm still on vaca, enjoying the rainy ass weather of the PNW for now...oh and did I mention I flubbed my press credentials for EDC by planning my vacation for the same weekend?  Wow, really smart dude...yes I know but alas we must push forward...onward and upward to the latest and greatest that soundcloud has to offer!  Today we have some new tracks from Kid Cedek, Steed Lord, Dos Lobos and more so let's get cracking y'all!

Let's get over the hump with a little 5kinAndBone5...this track is a tad strange, hence the tag "Alien Garage"...plenty of wubs to make me happy enough to share it though so check, check it out!

Next I've got some techy-bass from my MAIN man Bambounou...lovin' the whistle work on this remix for Voltron.  Make sure to grab this full release from Discobelle Records out in two weeks!

Normally I'm not too excited about vocal mixes of moombahton beats, sometimes it can just get too darn busy, but this track from Smash and Grab is an exception. Really diggin' the live instrument work which allows me to tolerate the so-so verse section.  Grab it HERE.

Now something from the homies Dos Lobos...this new remix is a rough and tumble affair, which I always dig. Heavy drums mixed with a funky ass break down about halfway through makes for a real winner.

And now...how about a double dose of trapshit? First off is one from the badest dude from Wisconsin...TEKNiCOLOR. He spammed the hell outta FB over the last 22 hours so I figured I may as well applaud his efforts by taking a listen and by george! This shit ain't bad AT ALL...now you try.

Follow that up with Rot10 Musik's acting Prez Kid Cedek...he's giving this track away in celebration of hitting 3k likes over at his facebook page. If you haven't already, go ahead and add to that total so we can get another giveaway hopefully at 5k!

El Nomada hooked me with his Bub-Rub track a couple of weeks ago so I'm always giving a listen to his stuff now and this one has the four elements I look for: Weird Shit, a heavy kick drum, some originality, and strange bass sounds.

Last up is another hot remix from our LA-via-Iceland friends Steed Lord. MEGA really cooked up something special for this mix of their latest single, Precognition. Grab the full release RIGHT HERE.

That's gonna do it for us for this Wednesday. If you're lucky you'll get your mixtapes for the first time in 3 weeks this Friday. If I'm rained in then I'll for sure do a massive post for you, if it's nice you won't be so lucky. LATER.

QUICK ADD:

2DEEP giving away a quick 108 edit for y'all...check them out next Friday (June 15th) at their monthly residency Muevelo with the AZ Gunslingaz (DJ Melo, Mendez, Riot Earp) as special guests this month.

More Midweek Madness

It's Wednesday, I'm on vacation, so don't bother me for descriptions of these songs.  Just LISTEN to them asap and download where applicable.  There's a tall frosty drink with my name on it about 20 yards away and I'd like to get back to it so here comes an extremely quick edition of MTH's midweek pull.  Enjoy!

That Monday Stuff

You're different, Rashad. You're special.

Gah, the weekend, sigh...is over.  Back to the grind.  Back to the 4:45am alarm.  Back to 8 hour work days and not nearly enough time to relax.  Here at MTH it's back to NEW MUSIC!  Yay!  Does new music make your week start off better??  It does for me!  Kicking things off with a new track from the homies 2 Deep, TYBG.


Here's something a little special from :DFace, it's a peak into the electro/house aspect of his production and as usual Garrett lends his vocal talent to this peak time track. FREE DOWNLOAD!

Sandwich Island Bass is an outfit straight outta Maui, their warm climate perspective fits right in with the tropical feel of the moombah sound and we're glad to feature this killer bass driven track today.

Red from The Al Gore Rhythm Method reached out to me last week and I'm happy he did because this track is super catchy. Grab it for free while there are downloads left!!

New Dillon Francis.

DJEJ just dropped his bootleg of Kid Cedek's "Sientelo", it's a little too late for the remix contest but we think he might have been at the top of the table if he'd have gotten this out in time, check it out.

Here's another free bootleg, this time from DOSLOBOS. He switched it up on us and took Astronomar's Jeffree's release to a different place all together.

Here's a funky feeling track from Riot Earp and Noms; it's fighting music for sure.

Big ups to ETC! ETC! on this dope Major Lazer remix...1000 plays in 120 minutes?!

Yet another strange track for ya here on a Monday! Make sure to check out Javier Estrada coming to Muevelo this May!

Fiona Apple flipped? Sure, why not.

Can't get enough of Neki Stranac lately, here's his contribution to 110BPM Vol. 2 which you can grab for absolutely FREE RIGHT HERE.

Gonna end this week's post with a couple of pop reworks, starting off with Loud Flavor's remix of the Diplo produced "Climax".

And finally we have a Gym Class Heroes remix--never thought I'd be giving these dudes press but PrimeTime stepped up to the plate and I'm really digging the drum work he's done setting this track to the 108 dembowed out moombah-style.

Alright y'all that's all for today, hope you're Monday goes extremely well and we'll see you Wednesday with more and more and MORE new music. PEACE!

Mixtape Friday

Y'all didn't think I'd let these tight ass braces and getting my wisdom teeth yanked stop me from laying down the law on this week's mixtapes did you??  Well if you ever doubted me then shame on you; I live, eat, sleep, and breath to bring you the hottest stuff I can find and it just so happens I woke up thinking about mixtapes.  Now since I'm a lazy bastard and these pain meds have me on a good one I'm just gonna toss these tapes out there for y'all to catch.  So bump this shit, supports these DJs and have a fantastic weekend. Let's start things off with all of Rot10's mixes from their Moomba+ takeover last week.

Midweek Pull

A "pull" refers to a service offered by most comic shops where they'll set aside all the titles you're interested in as they are released so you don't necessarily have to come in every Wednesday; your precious issues will always be waiting for you behind the counter.  For those in the know this can be very helpful as particular books will certainly sell out if you are like me and get lazy and/or forget to hit the shop when a popular title is released.  In the case of MTH's Midweek Pull we're taking on the role of the local comic vendor and doing all the work for you; all you gotta do is come on down and hear the hottest tracks of the week.  This week I'm super swamped in the studio so I don't have time to breakdown each pick so just take my word for it and listen to them all you bastards!  I'm doing all the work here and getting no love!!  Listen damn you!!

Monday Jump Off

why they call you new-new?

My oh my, the weekend flies by far to quickly lately and we've landed yet again here in the studio digging for some fresh tracks to get your week rolling.  I always wanna just keep hitting that snooze button on a Monday morning especially when it's half past four and I've gotta drive 30+ miles into work.  But now I'm wide awake and ready to give you some special stuff so lets get it going!

This track is coming from the dude DJ Melo from an apparently new soundcloud page but regardless of where it's posted, this sucker is classic Melo through and through.  Love the latin hook that drops into bleepy, bass driven madness.  LETS GO!

This special ReKwest dropped over the weekend and I couldn't wait to blow it up.  My fondness for this DC native knows little bounds especially when it comes to his moombahsoul stylings. So keep pushing my dude, everything you put out is on FIRE.

Next up a pair of remixes from the Bromance Records crew.  G.Vump and

Gesaffelstein going in deep on these ones.  They're taking on Lana Del Rey in a contest to see who is the most hip and IMHO the frenchmen take the cake.  Lending their signature styling to her soft vocal performance is just enough to get my feet shuffling here on a lazy Monday morning.

This one is perplexing.  I first came across the talented DJR when he teamed up with the homies 2Deep on their Otra Noche release and I must say, this new track is pretty impressive.  I enjoy how he says FU to any sort of template and just builds this beat into a monster at his own pace.  ¡DALE!

Neki Stranac...what more do I have to say here??  Every track I come across by this cat is absolutely bonkers.  So glad to keep finding more and more heaters from the Serbian genie to blow up my speakers.

Here are a couple from the President of Rot 10 Musik, first up is Kid Cedek's contribution to last month's Winter Of Moombahton compilation.

And here we have the winner of the Kid's "Sientelo" remix contest, AGLORY.  Check out the rest of the winners HERE.

You know I GOTTA represent for the kids 2Deep.  The LA duo is at it again, this time teaming up with Get Ghost for a slammin' beat that'll get your head nodding.  They seem to be getting down with the core shit and you know I like it heavy.

The aussie madman J-Trick coming at us all with some more free tunes, this time he's merging Gabba with his signature blend of moombah.  Squeaky as hell with a heavy ass bass, that's how he rolls and we here at MTH respect that fully.

Oh man, I wasn't sure what to think of this Selena track from DJ Madd OD, but then I hit play and immediately was nodding my head along with it.  Love these laid back 80's feel type tracks once they get super dembow'd out so big ups to the dude!

Here's something a little wild.  Not really sure where the inspiration for this "Congo Safari Remix" comes from but I for one would like to tip my cap to GAYMISTERIO for going out on a limb with this version of Diplo's "Express Yourself".  Nothing like a little crazy music to get you up and about on a Monday so pump this one and piss off your neighbors as you're getting ready to start your week.

Heartbreak promises this will be his final trap bubblin' track and we'll hold him to his word.  Everyone knows this dude loves experimenting with any and all genres so we applaud him for dipping his quill into this dirtified style and we'll gratefully post this sucker here for all to enjoy.
That's gonna do it for today's newness, wanna thank all the featured artists for continuing to pump out the jams for us to rock along to.  I hope this helps you shake the weekend funk off you!  PARTY ON!

Fat Tuesday Sounds

Will Ferrell is the KING of Mardi Gras

What's up party people?  I know folks are getting wild and crazy already but here are a few tunes to get amped on going into the coming Easter season.
Curling (Database Dub Remix) by SYKUR
This dub mix of Icelandic wunderkinds Sykur will lurk it's way into your soul thanks to zealous production from Brazil's Database.

Next up is Toronto's own Paul David with a progressive look into the unknown.  His thoughts on things to come?  Listen to find out.
Yuksek - Off The Wall (Brodinski Rmx) by Brodinski
I carried this on my tumblr last week but thought it worthy of rehashing here for those who haven't heard it yet.  Brodinski brings his signature French outlook to this remix of his "friend" Yuksek.
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know ft Kimbra(Mendez Rework) by Mendez
El Cuco honcho Mendez comes soft and easy on his flip of the vastly catchy "Somebody That I Used To Know".
Dillon Francis - Falling Up by DILLONFRANCIS
Here we have LA party boy Dillon Francis with the lead track off his latest EP Something, Something Awesome.  It's made up of his signature huge sounds but sheds some light on a possible new direction incorporating more and more wild bass sounds and less bleepy arpeggios.
2Deep - Metele Candela (MOOMBAHTON) *New EP Coming Soon* by 2 DEEP
Finally a little more moombahton flavor for you from MTH fav 2Deep.  Really looking forward to seeing him at this months Muevelo featuring David Heartbreak and Sabo.
