IHC Presents: OFF/CNTR w/ Jimmy Edgar + Addison Groove + Grenier + Sodapop @ Los Globos 2/2/13 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]
Our friends over at IHeartComix have quite the lineup to kick off their first OFF/CNTR 2013 event this Saturday February 22nd. They've rounded up the likes of Jimmy Edgar [Hot Flush|Warp|Berlin] + Addison Groove [50Weapons|Tectonic|UK] + Grenier [Tectonic|Frite Nite] + Sodapop [Anticon] to perform at Los Globos. We've been spinning Jimmy Edgar's recent productions with Machinedrum under the creative alias, Jets, on a handful of recent Dank Radio episodes. For those of you who saw the Disclosure b2b Skream Boiler Room set that was Jets [Jimmy Edgar + Machinedrum] who did the set right before them. I wish I knew if Addison Groove's set is going to be LIVE or DJ. I guess you're going to have to go to find out. You can get your tickets here. Many thanks to Steve and the whole IHC crew for their ticket giveaway to this event on our Dank Radio broadcast titled Oneness. Click below to try out some music treats.

Focus OC Present: Blond:ish 1/22 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]
This Tuesday we are proud to bring you the Orange County debut of Blond:ish [Official | Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud] ! This will be an exclusive So Cal appearance by the duo (Anstacia & Vive-Ann) and we are super excited. In the last few years, Blond:ish has carved out a unique production recipe which focuses on the art of creating music that is organic and multi-dimensional. Provocative basslines contrasted with smooth textures and sticky vocals that blend into a genre of house that rebels against being pigeonholed to any specific category.
Their tracks have been featured on labels like Get Physical, NM2 (Noir Music 2), Mile End, Defected and more. This duo rides off each other's hefty musical knowledge and flawless technique with their diverse personas only adding to the intrigue. Anstascia's unruly demeanor and creative spark spirals against Vivie-Ann's scientific and geek-chic flair in a whirlwind of inspiration and contrast. The result is a force to be reckoned with, a vibe that effortlessly transcends in the studio, behind the booth and more than anything, to the dancefloor.
This will definitely be a big night for us especially since this is the only place in Southern California you can see Blond:ish play [Purchase tickets here]. - Focus OC
Duke Dumont - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix - Future Stars of 2013 [DJ Mix + Tracklist]
Duke Duke Duke Dumont. You can say this Londoner is my favorite producer at the moment. The first track of his I really liked was Thunder Clap. It's one of those 127 bpm high energy ones that at the time was easily blendable to the big room bangers I was spinning more of at that period. As time went on my grooves started slowing down and getting more base line friendly and really focused on soulful vocals. I forgot how I discovered it but I stumbled upon his track Need U (100%) [purchase @ Beatport] and boy oh boy was I hooked. Annie Mac went with the perfect choice for her BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix - Future Stars of 2013. He starts of the mix nice and sexxxi and rides it out for a while and then he goes for a brief increase in energy and then brings it back down to sexxxi. There's a lot of groovy dance floor heaters in this mix. Press play, turn it up, and dance away.
Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Feat. Jay-Z) (Prod. Timbaland)
I almost forgot that Justin Timberlake sings. Last time I heard from the dude he was co-staring in that one romantic comedy opposite of Mila Kunis. Looks like JT is back with a little help from his friends. On production duty for Suit & Tie [purchase @ iTunes] is our favorite Timbaland. Jay-Z shares some thoughts and bars of his own on the track. Suit & Tie is the first single from his upcoming full length titled The 20/20 Experience. Just as long as Justin and Timbaland stick to songs, I don't care about them being poppy, with really good hooks and strong melodies they'll be fine. And please no dubstep and trap on the album. We're dead serious about that.
Pioneer DJ - Drew 'Rukes.com' Ressler Interview [Live Interview]

It's goes over how/why he started and he gives a few tips as well, mainly to ask for payment with your services. Click below to check out the interview.

No Doubt - Push And Shove on Jimmy Kimmel [Live Video]
No Doubt [Official | Facebook] is one of our personal favorites. They're local. They're fun. They still skank on stage! Did we mention they grew up playing shows w/ Sublime? Their latest album Push and Shove [purchase @ iTunes] has been in the car rotation since it came out and it's title track Push And Show is one of my favorite curve balls to throw on a dance floor. It has all the fun Diplo/Major Lazer elements all rolled into the trademark No Doubt sound. Click below to check out their Jimmy Kimmel performance.

Distal & Archie Pelago - Que Rico
"DISTAL came through NYC, crashed on Hirshi's couch, and made some tunes with us." - Archie Pelago. Que Rico sounds like what you would hope to find at a bario party at a random burrough. Beats, bass, swing, singing in foreign language that makes you want to dance. All around a good time. Claro que bien.

Modern Disco Ambassadors presents: Justin Jay + Poupon @ LA Cave 1/16 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]
I've had the pleasure of seeing Justin Jay [Dirtybird] perform live + performing at MDA's La Cave Wednesdays [Shout out to Kedd Cook]. I can say both have been pleasurable experiences. Expect groovy rhythms and proper four on the floor later on tonight. You may be familiar with Justin Jay's creation titled Femme Fatale. It's one of those tracks that lures you onto the dance floor. Picture seeing one of those fine foxxxy females at your favorite disco grooving and swaying when she looks up at you briefly with that inviting look. She then proceeds to do a "come here" action with her finger. Yes, that is how Femme Fatale works. Pre-sales are available here. Tell 'em I sent you.

SCNTST - Nower Shot
From the mind of Boysnoize Records' youngest representative comes the latest techno fueled dance floor filler. SCNTST is his name and the first track that really stuck out to me was his track Beachboy, with it's repeating, "Ass ass titties. Ass ass titties." Nower Shot maintains this theme of repeating lyrics, inducing it's listener into a trance like dance frenzy. No word on a release date. We'll keep you posted. For now just enjoy the track...

Moombah Forever (Mixed by DJ Craze) [Forthcoming Release + Tracklist]
Moomahton Forever. Or how I should say for eva eva and eva eva. With the rollercoaster rises and falls of certain sub genres one wondered, "What happened to Moombahton? Everyone's playing trap/trap rave/etc!?" DJ Craze is here to save the day. He's compiled an enjoyable plethora of moombah ranging from your bleeps and blops you're familiar with to even more techno darker reverbery moombahton vibes. All complete with a skratch here and there and definitely not everywhere. Compilation comes out 1/17 on T&A Records, but you can stream it below!
Focus OC Present: Miguel Migs 1/15 [Upcoming Event]
Miguel Migs is a DJ that has received critical and commercial success that most in the deep house community can only dream of. He's been nominated on the Beatport poll as "Best Deep House Producer" and has been a staple of the West Coast's house music scene since the mid 90s. He’d also become a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked Music stable with his singles, remixes and compilations as Petalpusher. His mix CD "Nude Tempo 1" has to be one of the best house music mix CDs ever released and the tracks he's been putting out on his own label, Salted Music, are phenomenal to say the least. To have a man that has done so much for house music at our humble spot is truly an honor. Don't miss this Tuesday it's going to be one incredible night!
We have had Miguel Migs at Focus a few times before and they've always been huge nights so early arrival or presale tickets are suggested. - Focus OC
Hatcha - Old School Garage Mix 2004 [DJ Mix + Upcoming Event]
We here at Dank Radio like to know our history. Not just of music and where certain vibes have emerged from, but history in general. While many are clamoring and arguing on the direction dubstep has taken in recent year or so, there are many who forget where it comes from. They don't really get it's roots. Like fabricated described in his wrap up of Hatcha's performance at SMOG not too long ago, Hatcha is one to educate. In preparation of his upcoming Fabric set this Friday Jan. 18th at Fabric, Fabric has released an oldie set from him circa 2004. Unfortunately we don't have the track list for it. So you're just going to have to let it ride and enjoy the vibes.
