Rustie - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix [Tour Dates + Upcoming Event]

Rustie : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud : Purchase Glass Swords @ iTunes | Amazon | Bleep
Guess who's back? That's right. I am ;) To start this off we're going super crazy groovy bust your neck kind of beats with a melodic sense to sing your girlfriend to sleep. We've shared our great love for his music in the past and have shed some light on some of his favorite video game(s) [hint: Triforce]. If you've been sleeping under a rock in Hyrule it's time for you to wipe those eye boogers off your face and check out the one and only, Rustie. I can't believe I barely found out about his essential mix earlier tonight. I've been slacking on my Essential Mix game and it's because sometimes our personal RPGs take longer than planned to finish. His Essential Mix is that perfect blend of electronic dance music and what some may say is one of the current metamorphosis of hip hop. He lays down a thick layer of Rustie goodness and sprinkles in his favorite tracks from the likes of HudMo, Lone, Destinys Child, Dorian Concept, Bok Bok & L-vis 1990, Drake, and yes even some Danny Brown for good measure. It's a mix that will entertain the dance crazed 4 on the 4 floor crowd who's looking for bpms and rhythms that will excite. It'll even get those Dillaheads and Low End Theory kids boppin their heads. All in all it's the perfect edition for BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix and continues the tradition of dj mixes that raise the bar for djing, song selection, production, and just plain good fun music.

TerribleFolly [Feature Interview + Upcoming Event]

TerribleFolly [I.T.S. Music Playground] : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud

It's my firm belief that it's quite rare to find another human being that vibrates at either the same frequency as you or at a relative complimentary frequency. Say you're ringing out at C and you come across someone that's at about a G. When you put those together you form a C power chord. One of the most basic and most widely used forms of chordal music that everyone who listens to punk rock and classic rock can relate to. So during a show not too long ago I met a G note. He was a cool dude who was rocking a marvel comics t-shirt and on top of that I was digging the music he was performing. We chit chatted and I was surprised to find out we shared similar tastes in comics, anime, and music. Time traveling to more current dates I find out that I'll be performing at his CD release show. With all these situation unraveling I couldn't help but use this opportunity to do an origin story with this specific artistically inclined character. Read on below to further your understanding of the one and only, TerribleFolly...

Photek - M25 Cassette Mix [DJ Mix + Free Download + Tour Dates]

Photek : Official | Facebook | Twitter
Check out this lovely Mix by Photek below. Tracklist unknown, for now. I'm not too keen on these tracks but so far from what I've heard expect lots of Acid House. If you notice the mix is only 45 min long. So we might be treated with a B side to this mix in the near future [For the younger kids who never had the opportunity to PURCHASE music on cassettes or even make mix tapes off the radio or a horrible 3rd generation tape, each side of the cassette tape only allows for 45 min of recording]. In addition to the lovely mix, Photek has also released his track "No Agenda" as a FREE download. You may have heard this track from his DJ Kicks Comp. Goodies down below...

Rx - Orbit [Tour Dates]

Rx : Official | Facebook | Twitter

I've been playing Rx's track "Orbit" over and over for the past 30 min or so. I "discovered" the track through Dubspot's latest video showing a time lapse of their 3rd floor expansion. It took me quite some time to track down the artist online. Rx has been working w/ dubspot professor + dmc champion extraordinaire DJ Shiftee to create some really interesting bass music. The track "Orbit" is from their 2011 release titled, "Space Ace" [Purchase @ Beatport], which was released on Rad Summer.
