For now though, here are a few tunes from YouTube-land that I, for one, can’t wait to get my hands on….

First up, an incredible collaboration between Joker and TC:

Joker & TC – It Ain’t Got A Name

Next, a teaser for a tune that we can only hope will be released on Never Say Die sooner rather than later:

SKisM – Rave Review (Teaser)

PS: hardcore did it first.

Lastly, a ridiculous Passion Pit remix from Israel’s Borgore. (Yeah, we really like Passion Pit.)

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (Borgore Remix)

Watch the synth at the drop on this one; it’s secretly a “Live to Tell the Tale” remix as well.

EDIT: Whoa! this one actually got released today.

I probably should have posted this here when it was new… but I didn’t. After not releasing a demo in almost 3 years (as my super hero rave dj alter ego Leela) I was finally able to come up with something back in November that I’m still 92% happy with. It’s 37 tracks and pretty silly – clocking in at some ridiculously high bpm. Enjoy.

Hey guys! It’s been a minute since I put out a mix on this here internets… but here’s a new one with a bunch of the choons that I’ve been playing out and about lately! It’s 37 tracks, jam packed with action and romance. Seriously.

As a gift 2 my fans I have uploaded my remix of ‘Fer Sure – The Medic Droid (S3RL hardcore remix)’ and have made it downloadable, so it’s totally free 4 u 2 take.

It’s the full, mastered, DJ friendly version (with intro and outro) so it’s totally playable 4 all u DJ’s out there

It’ll only b up 4 a month or so, so take it while u can.

Enjoy =)

I’ve been crushing on this remix for a while now.
Download it here while you can: http://tinyurl.com/otzwsd

(this clip comes from Skream’s Stella Session a few weeks ago. go get it.)

My dubstep collection is in desperate need of more bootleg, white labelish stuff. Perhaps I am just shopping in the wrong places, or not scouring the bins at halcyon regularly enough, but my crate is seriously anemic in the unlicensed remix department.

So dubstep heads: where the bootlegs at? Hook us up in the comments.

Chunk Of Change was originally created as a Valentine’s Day gift for songwriter Michael Angelakos’ girlfriend while attending Emerson College in Boston. The sound can easily be compared to that of The Postal Service.

For me, standout tracks include I’ve Got Your Number, Smile Upon Me, and Sleepyhead.

If you’ve been wondering about the dnb remix of “The Hand That Feeds” that you keep hearing, then look no further. This Nine Inch Nails remix was made by Zardonic, a dark drum and bass producer from Venezuela.

You can grab it for FREE from Zardonic’s remix.nin.com profile page.

Some might argue that this is old news by now, but I’m going to post it anyway. Chase & Status‘s new essential is a must listen for any drum & bass lover. It also has a pretty sweet dubstep section, if that’s more your thing.

Tune of the mix for me is “Pieces” (on Ram Records). White-label promos have been circulating for about a week (good luck finding one outside of eBay), and the full release is due any minute now. Or at least, it better be released soon – I need a copy.

Finally! Pendulum has announced a full US tour of the live band – not a DJ set. Anyone who has been following Pendulum (Live) as of late knows that this is super exciting news.

If you’re not familiar with Pendulum’s new album, In Silico, I strongly suggest you give it a listen. The album’s first singles [ Propane Nightmares, Granite, and The Other Side ] are all hits for sure.

Sign up for Pendulum’s mailing list and receive a FREE download of Propane Nightmares (Celldweller Remix). This is my favorite mix of the choon by far, so definitely check it out.

Anyway, first up is Saul Williams’ 2004 self-titled album:

If you’re like me, you first heard about this guy via his most recent album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!, a well publicized pay-what-you-want collaboration with Trent Reznor. Also if you’re like me, your interest was piqued, and you immediately had a look at his discogs page in search of more.

Like on Tardust, Williams combines spoken-word poet, hip-hop emcee and rockstar personas alongside distorted-guitar-meets-drum-machine instrumentals – after hearing this, it’s easier to see his recent NIN-ification as a logical progress of his regular gig, as opposed to the weirdo experiment that some might have seen it as. That’s not in any way meant to say the two albums are homogeneous, however; the whole thing just makes more sense to me now.

In other news, Slam just found its way onto my Netflix queue.

Noteworthy tracks:
Surrender (A Second to Think)
Telegram
Act III Scene 2 (Shakespeare) (featuring Zack de la Rocha!? How have I not heard this before?)
and (despite the weirdness of it being licensed for a recent Nike ad)
List of Demands (Reparations)

also check out his 2003 EP, Not In My Name.

On June 6th, the super Indian babe M.I.A. will be playing at McCarren Park Pool, accompanied by Toronto electronica band Holy Fuck.

I’m super excited because I’m a huge M.I.A. fan, but have yet to see her live. If you’re not familiar with her music, you should check out her (omg) hit single, “Paper Planes.” If that floats your boat, then why not give her two albums a listen: “Kala” (2007) & “Arular” (2005). I enjoy both of them.

Tickets cost $37.50, and go on sale March 29, 2008 at 11am.

edit: I lied. Go get your presales now!

Mashup deejay Gregg Gillis, also known as Girl Talk, says…

Date: Mar 20, 2008 1:48 PM
Subject: girl talk new album leak is a fake

hey everyone, the fake leak of my album is apparently popping up all over the internet. i keep getting emails/myspaces about it

if possible, spread the word that it is a fake.

it doesn’t sound anything like the new album. it doesn’t sound anything like any live sets i’ve ever done. i’m not going to judge it, but everything (sample source, quality, production) is VERY different from what i’m doing. i had nothing to do with it.

thanks

Gregg

If you weren’t able to grab tickets to Hot Chip‘s show on April 12th at Terminal 5, then tomorrow is your lucky day.

They’ve added another NYC show on April 8th at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow, March 21st, at noon for $35 (the password is madeinbrooklyn).

I’m going to both shows. I mean, how can I not… the Williamsburg show is essentially just down the street!

If you haven’t familiarized yourself with Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” yet, do yourself a favor and give it a good listen. It’s no longer available as the original “pay what you want” mp3 download, but you can still grab it over at Amazon. Or, if you’re really cheap, you can just watch the Scotch Mist webcast (which is worth a watch anyway!)

When I first heard “In Rainbows” back in October, I instantly fell in love. Well, scratch that. It took me something like two proper listens before I really understood the album. But believe me, now I get it. Regardless, moving on.

About two months after “In Rainbows” hit the, um… internet, Amplive put together some amazing remixes. The first two tracks that surfaced (or at least, the first two that I found) were his take on Weird Fishes and Nude (cleverly titled Weird Fishez and Nudez).

Shortly thereafter Amplive received a cease and desist letter, and the remix operation was brought to a halt. Boo.

After many pleas from Amplive and the online community, the cease and desist was revoked and these quality remixes could once again see the light of day. Yay.

The full album, Amplive’s “Rainydayz Remixes,” is available as a free download. (Be sure to check out “15 Stepz,” as it’s my new favorite.)
