Magic In The Air

To celebrate Disney returning to its animated roots, I'd like to give you some remixes from Mad Decent's Toadally Krossed Out.  I promise if you kiss either of these amphibians, they won't turn into a prince but they just may kiss you back (bonus track after the jump).

Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel (Toadally Krossed Out Remix)

Wednesday Freshness....Heavy Edition

Wednesdays are generally busy for us here at Metal Top Hat so I'm gonna cut back the talk and just pass on some tunes for ya.

Le Castle Vania is an ATLien I've had my eye on a lot lately, he's been devastating crowds at some of our favorite parties here in LA as well as San Fran, NYC, and of course the dirty dirty.  His latest is as heavy as ever and will surely smack you in the face.

Le Castle Vania - Nobody Gets Out Alive!


Next is a remix from another MTH fan-fav, Hey Champ.  The Chicago funk masters take on Mike Posner's Cooler Than Me, one upping the original which makes me beg to ask, is anyone cooler than Hey Champ??  Doubtful.

Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me (Hey Champ Remix)


And finally I've got a dandy little remix of Dragonette's Pick Up The Phone by Jaxsur, hope you enjoy.

Till next time, Love, Peace, and Chicken

Feelin' Hella Stoked for 2010

It's that time again!  Time to sit down, grab a cup of hot cocoa, and dig through the CD library to find another of our favorite 20 albums from this wonderful decade.

Our next selection comes from OC Heroes: No Doubt, who departed from their signature ska-tastic sound to bring you 2001's Rock Steady, a dub inspired fusion of Gwen Stefani's enchanting soft voice, dancy beats, and sexy synth patterns. The band recorded much of the album in Jamaica and feature dancehall heavy hitters, Bounty Killer and Lady Saw.

Coming off the less than stellar performance of 2000's Return of Saturn, No Doubt decided to venture away from their normal musical stylings as they began to explore dancehall music in tour after parties. (more after the jump)

Marry X-Mas From The Bloody Beetroots

Just in time for all you holiday shoppers, Italian Super-Villians The Bloody Beetroots released their ever furious Christmas Vendetta EP on DIM MAK earlier today.

To say these tracks are festive would be an all out lie, they sound more like chainsaws, hammers, and all out destruction in the Beetroots' style.  WARP 1977 features Dim Mak kingpin Steve Aoki's screaming battle cry as his loyal henchmen seemingly torture a captive with a full on aural assault of destructive synth power.  Enjoy!
