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!

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.

Where Were U In 2092?

For anyone who has been reading this blog (probably no one), you might start recognizing a pattern in the artists I post up. Usually they're in the heavier vein, meaning that when played at full volume, you'll most likely offend your co-workers/roommates/parents/girl/boyfriend. The bass tends to be über-present in tracks I post so you'll definitely piss off a few people unless they too enjoy glass/booty shaking, club pounding sounds like you (in this case, please point them in our direction).

So it is with this preface in mind that I bring you SONIC TRUTH, a funky fresh group out of Raleigh, NC. They certainly meet the requirements to be posted on Metal Top Hat, the bass fills my studio when I rock them. These cats have been pumping up crowds for the past year with super fresh bass-filled remixes of hip-hop and electro tracks as well as a few pounding original tracks which I am featuring today.

King Konga is the track that really sold me on Sonic Truth. It's heavy, thudding, powerhouse bass really drives this club hopper and it's catchy hook alludes to these boys having more than just some junk in their trunk (crank up your sub for this one):

Sonic Truth - King Konga

Yet another booty shakin' anthem...$hake your ass to another great original tune:

Sonic Truth - $hake It

And I've also included 2 top notch remixes. Both of these tracks will knock you on your ass so get ready and pump up the volume:

Laidback Luke & Diplo - Hey (Sonic Truth Remix)

The Faint - The Conductor (Sonic Truth Remix)
