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!

Monday, Monday...can't touch that day

My belly is full and yet I still hunger for some brand spanking new music!!  I know some of y'all feel the same so I'm compiling yet another list of dope chunes from the realms of my soundcloud dashboard.  From my PC to your ears, I'm trying to keep you up to date with some of our favorite producers and sounds here at MTH; it's been a Monday tradition for many weeks so let's keep it alive shall we??  Today I've got tracks from Buraka Som Sistema, Steed Lord, gLAdiator and more!  Keep a keen eye out for the free downloads--as always, I tried to work in as many as possible.

Here's a fierce remix from that dude D!rty Aud!o...turn the volume up to 11 for this one, it's SLAMMIN! FREE DOWNLOAD

What you know about H-Town??...naw fool, not the boy band...I'm talking bout HOUSTON. I've never been but the rap game there set it off a few years back and now gLAdiator and Chromatic have swooped up a great lyric from the tallest dude in the business Slim Thug and created a squeaky, bit-smashed dab of glory and guess what?? It's FREEEEEEEEEEE.

Here's a little prog-moombahton from UK producer Harikiri...it's a tad bit lurky which I'm always stoked about and super dark. DIG IT! It's dropping in 2 weeks on Ninthwave Records so be on the look out folks!

Speaking of "lurky" here's a low down bass track all the way outta the windy city. Nader flipped up Juicy J and dropped the son'bitch for FREE DOWNLOAD.

Global bass innovators Buraka Som Sistema are taking their unreal live show on the road in North America in August (including a stop at HARD Summer) and to get folks hyped they're giving away a new track for the best price of all $0. That's right, grab this kuduro heater for FREE and get ready for your mind to be blown.

Are you down with French dance tracks?? I am for sure so I'm always stoked to see the Blisters Boyz in my feed. This one is a sure fire slice of techy goodness with enough bongos to make me happy, it's dropping August 22nd on Birth Records so make sure to buy it then k?? Thanxbi.

Love holding down PDX producers and I really enjoy giving a little cred to the Think2wice Records family. Here's a new track from Ben Tactic which I'm sure will make you thirsty as you're sweating it up on the dance floor. Superbly bubbly with a nice and heavy kick drum throughout and guess what?? It's a FREE DOWNLOAD. Hot damn!! Grab it.

Annnnnnd back to the moombahton...or should I say, back to the moombahsoul. Here's another free track from Phoenix young gun Decade who has been consistently putting out some fire over the last few months. This one is ambient and chirpy and is a perfect cool down track for the coming hot August nights in the Arizona desert.

My friends will tell you that--since I saw them open up for Chromeo back in the summer of 2008--Steed Lord is probably my favorite band out there right now. The baby of the bunch, Mr. Eddie House put together a disco flip of their latest single "Hear Me Now" and the band is kindly giving it away for FREE!!  Just like their FACEBOOK PAGE and click the free downloads tab.

After hearing the above remix I started down the soundcloud rabbit hole and discovered some long forgotten tracks from Eddie. Here's my favorite to wrap up today's blog.

So that's it for now kiddos!! Make sure to support all these producers by following them on soundcloud (give us a follow if you feel like it HERE) and of course check them out on their facebook pages (and ours RIGHT HERE). Hope you enjoy the free downloads, keep your browser pointed right here for more and more new music and other goodies!! Ta ta!

DOWNLOAD SIDE1: LuV DrunK
"LuV DrunK, cause imagine that feeling when u have butterflies in your stomach and you can’t wait to finish work so that you can be with the one u luv and u can’t bear to be without them for even one moment.   You’re joined at the hip and you can see no wrong in your luved one, no matter what they say or do, which football team they support or what music they dig!  That’s being LuV DrunK !"

DOWNLOAD SIDE2: LuVved Up
"LuVved Up, cause you’re you’re sitting together in a cinema, walking in the park or on a beach, holding hands at all times.  The air smells fresh, the sky is clear and the world is a beautiful place.  You have no financial worries, you don’t care about messing up your exams or about being late for work.  But you do care about not seeing or being with the one u luv and not being able to take them out or buy them something nice.   That’s being LuVved Up!"

Jon Kwest Heading West in Support of Debut

"I've seen....attack ships on fire off the shores of Orion"

His Last Don EP comes out next Tuesday but it looks like Jon Kwest and Think 2wice Records are giving everyone a listen early.  This comes ahead of a west coast trip for the Bmore native who will play at San Francisco's SOM-Bar this Sunday at Moombah Sauce.  As far as what he's prepared for, Kwest told SF Station, "Being somewhere where people actually want to be is fun. I have some Bay Area songs I’m gonna play, see what peoples reactions are." Check out a selection from Kwest's forthcoming release.  And follow the jump for two bonus remixes!
Skratch Riddim by Jon Kwest
This is really my favorite Kwest original of the bunch as it showcases his bouncy nature.  It feels like I'm already in the club getting ready to shuffle onto the dance floor after a couple drinks at the bar.
Stabbin Cabin by Jon Kwest
Kwest turns to one of his many specialties here with "Stabbin Cabin", a laid back soul filled track that calls on its listener to keep up the pace.
