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.

HARD presents: Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound/Ramadanman [Concert Review]

HARD presents: Joy Orbison | Pearson Sound/Ramadanman | Annie Mac | Flinch @ The Roxy

Early on sometime mid afternoon I receive a text message saying "You won! :)". Confused as to what I won and who this was from I responded with "What did I win?! And who is this?!" It turns out I won tickets for myself and four of my friends courtesy of The Drop Factory to that night's event at The Roxy presented by Hard. Joy Orbison was playing that night and Hyph Mngo was a constant in my rotation along with his remix of Four Tet's Love Cry. So I did what any other person recovering from Post-Coachella sickness would do, I rounded up some fun musically hungry people and headed up to Hollywood.

As we approached the Will Call and Guestlist area my name was no where to be found and no tickets were left for me as instructed. A bit confused I made them triple check my ID to both lists and still no luck. After 20+ calls straight to a voicemail and a handful of text messages we were out of luck. fabricated, [e]ccentric, D$, Ms. Alaijsha, and I made the drive all the way out there and we weren't going home empty handed. So again I did what anyone Post-Coachella, still hungry for more music, with a week off from work, who extremely detests my cubicle day job but is putting up with it because it's a source of income would do, buy 5 tickets for him and 4 of his friends[Total was $150 if you were wondering]. From here on out fabricated will take over the review as I was a bit infuriated at the situation and medicated the situation with a bit too much whiskey and thus was unable to take proper notes that night...
