So while this Independence Day I will be working a 9 and a half hour shift (Yeah Capitalism!), I can only imagine the antics you readers might be up to. I'm gonna keep this quick, here are 5 for your parties this weekend:
1. Busy P- To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix)
2. Major Lazer- Keep It Goin' Louder (feat. Nina Sky and Ricky Blaze)
3. Services- Element of Danger (MSTRKRFT Remix)
4. Machines Don't Care- Afro Jacker
5. Shitdisco- 72 Virgins (The Bloody Beetroots Remix) into Bloody Beetroots- Warp 1.9 (feat Steve Aoki)
1. This track follows the new trend in electro introducing hip hop vocals over traditional house music. While I'd agree with many that this is not the direction I'd like to see the genre take, this remix by the Crookers pretty much outlines how Dim Mak Tuesdays usually ends up. Basically, this is MSTRKRFT's "Bounce" before that track came out.
2. Before I decided to mix it up a bit, this playlist was almost entirely Major Lazer. The whole album is, by far, THE summer 2009 party album. This track is catchy, danceable and one of the few tracks in the industry these days that makes good use of auto-tune. Also check out "Baby" also by the Diplo and Switch duo of mastery to see all the fun things they can do experimenting with auto-tune.
3. Pretty standard MSTRKRFT fare: power-chords droning over a fairly intense bass beat. The lyrics here are fairly simple making this an easy crowd-pleaser. Everything you need in the Fist of God era.
4. This track takes the party down with a smooth jungle beat and then brings it back up with intense fanfare. Never gets old.
5. Watch this below and be astonished as you see THE best transition ever made. Dropped at Webster Hall earlier this year, this is Warp:
