Friday!!

Big badaboom from Reso!! Jam this KOAN Sound remix loud and proud 'cause it's FRIDAY!

because.. internet

So JAQUES put me onto this this evening and yeah.. it's just insanely genius. From the vocals to the video to the insane clothing options, this is a slice of fried gold.

Easy Grimes

Everyone watch out for new artist Easy Girl, out of LA. Choosing a personal favorite of mine to remix is already a +1 from me, and then not only carrying out a great remix, but killing it in the process gets me hyped.
 
 This remix of Grimes' track Genesis is airy and grooving and really I could listen to it on repeat all day (and am currently in the process of doing just that!). I think it captures the energy and imagination of the original and he manages to inject even more into it.
 
While there is only one track on his Soundcloud, his first entry is a great piece of work. So follow him (HERE) as he starts his journey into great music. I'm excited to see where he takes us!

Arkasia's new album

Arkasia keeps bringing the freshness.  Dubstep has gone through a lot of permutations, but Arkasia seems to always post the goodies no matter the swings.  Either he's keeping ahead of the curve or he's just THAT good.

He just released an album off of Heavy Artillery Records and it's already blowing up on Beatport (HERE).  Running the gamut from hard banging dubstep to really melodic and smooth, the album covers a lot of ground.  For all of the bad press surrounding dubstep (and many times fully warranted) there are those that continue to do it right.  I count Arkasia (whom we have posted before HERE) as one of those doing it the right way. 

So check out this track, head on over to buy the album (HERE) and follow Arkasia for more of his releases.

Good Morning!

Pour yourself a nice fresh cup of coffee and have a listen to the latest from CloZee. 'Mountain Legends' contains all the elements we've come to love from CloZee, blending classical instrumental pieces with glitch elements making for yet another superb piece. Enjoy!

Tobacco does the Keys

Some late night fun from Black Moth Super Rainbow, aka Tobacco.

Griz gets funky yet again!

Griz just can't do any wrong. Seriously, he can't. I've looked to try and find a weakness, and there's nothing. This track, off of a forthcoming album Mad Liberation and dropping September 4th, shows how stellar this album is really going to be.

I don't have to hear another song to know that I'm buying it as soon as it drops.

This track isn't a one-off either. It continues a narrative of greatness that Griz, 22 year old producer out of Detroit, has been writing for years now. Employ heavy crunchy beats, funky bass, add in some glitchy synths and in this track's case some sexy sax. That sax by the way, is all him as well.

Yeah that's right. Not only does he lay down the jams, but he can play the sax. Told you there's no weakness in his game!

If you haven't already, follow the Griz and get down on all of his tracks. They're worthy of every shake your booty has in it.

Ambassadeurs World

Slow day on the blog, but not a slow day in the music scene. Ambassadeurs gives us not only a great new track, but also one for Free Download! How nice!

If the name sounds familiar, you will have seen it appear on this blog before (check it!) and if you've not heard the name before you need to follow (HERE) and rip through Ambassadeurs' entire catalogue. From remixes to originals, Ambassadeurs has done it right every single time.

Deadmau5 puts out a crazy ass music video.

Bobby Tank's shooting Arrows

Bobby Tank has been an artist that I discovered from fellow Waxholer JAQUES and I am glad for it. Bobby Tank has been giving us the jams for awhile now (check these posts for proof. 1 and 2) and this remix of Rudi Zygadlo's track Arrows is no different.

Using many drums, some synth work and vocal manipulation, Tank is on point with this track.

Follow the lad (HERE) and buy this track off of iTunes for your good deed of the day.

More Culprate Goodness

Culprate has been nice enough to upload my personal favorite from the his latest Nightmares in Reality EP with 'Two'. Enjoy!

Daedelus gives us the juke

Daedelus is complex. His tracks range from dark juke to whimsical and airy. The one constant through all of this is that he's a maestro at whatever he sets his mind to. Genre's don't mean anything to Daedelus and I absolutely love that about his work. I get a kick out of imagining someone sitting down to some Daedelus and driving themselves crazy trying to decipher what genre, or sub-sub-sub genre to classify his works.

You might remember a few Daedelus tracks we've posted before (HERE and HERE) and with this installment it just adds to the catalogue of great works that defy convention.

So follow the guy (HERE) and see for yourself how amazingly confusing he can be. As a bonus check this juked out romance track from a few weeks ago. Love it!


773 Love (Daedelus' Pacific Mix) by Daedelus

Teardrop, Phutureprimitive style

Phutureprimitive remixing Teardrop is just too good to pass up.  Even though this song has been overplayed whether on the radio, as the opener for TV shows and in DJ sets everywhere, the fact remains that it is an absolutely stellar track.

Then Phutureprimitive  gets under the hood, adds some synths, wubs and punchier bass and we have a new remix that bangs.

Thanks to Phutureprimitive for dropping this bangin' remix.

And as a bonus check the Gary Jules re-rub from a year ago. Still is a great track


Gary Jules - Mad World (Phutureprimitive Remix) - Free Download by Phutureprimitive

Blackbird Blackbird does Bjork

Blackbird Blackbird remixing Bjork is like when they mixed jelly in with the peanut butter. Two good things and then mixed together. Pretty much exactly like this, sans the stickiness.

Coma Covers so Good

Welp. THiNK has gone and done it. He's inspired me to post some covers by a favorite artist of mine, Coma. This woman has pulled at me with many of her tracks (Examples) and this NIN remix is one that I've listened to on repeat since she dropped it a month ago or so.

Then as if she was taunting me, she dropped a cover of Portishead. And really, I like Coma's vocal stylings better. I know that might get me excommunicated from the old school EDM crowd, but it is what it is.

So yeah, check these covers out and add them to the Feed Me track THiNK posted earlier today to complete a pretty awesome troika.

Oh and follow Coma. She puts out tracks on the regular, and they're all greatness.


Singing random portishead by -CoMa-

Not everything needs Wubs

Feed Me/Spor is one of my favorite producers around. He's been making some of the finest d'n'b and dubstep for ages now, often flexing some of the most unique and technically perfected tunes around. So it comes as no surprise that when Feed Me uploads a new track I'm all over it like a raving school girl. What DOES come as a surprise is today's upload: A completely acoustic cover of Fink's 'This is The Thing' sung and performed by the man himself. I hope you enjoy this out of the box moment as much as I did :)

Afternoon Groove

Fresh out of Australia comes some super soulful funky vibes from Dizz1. His fresh new take on Benny Tone's 'Home' adds a really nice slow bounce, giving the whole track a nice funky roll groove that get's right down to your toes. Jam it jam it!

Draper is back at it!

New goodness from Kent based producer Draper.

This one is seriously chill and following the last two I posted, this sunny Monday vibe is going strong!

Looks like he is offering this one up for free download as well. I would suggest it as this track will lift you up big time!

Plug in your email HERE to get your download!

Originally Original

ImprintAfter's new track Eating U has me bouncing all over the place (may be the gallon of coffee as well).

Seriously gorgeous original though with bubbly vocal chops, a nice bassy drum beat, and a whole lot of hip-hop swagger.

Snag the free download and enjoy!

Your Monday Indie Refresher

Just like Ghostland Observatory, Neon Indian holds a special place with me being a group of artists I am proud to have seen spring out of my home state of Texas.

Came across this re-work of the track on Soundcloud and really dug how the dreamy feel of the original was actually amplified with bigger swells and crashes, some crunch new drum elements and awesome reverb laden synth leads.

Check out ThePhoz's take on "Polish Girl" and snag the free DL.

heRobust has a Screw Loose

It seems as if heRobust is releasing fire every single week. Just take a look at these posts as evidence. Last week's Rob & Hood EP was a fun romp through the trap elements and now he has glitchy bass comin at you. A release through Muti Music shows not only Hayden's maturation in his music, but also professionally.

The album is below for your previewing enjoyment, (thanks to Muti Music for the pre-release!) and on September 4 the album will be available to purchase and download. For those of us who have followed him since the old days, or just for those who have recently discovered his earlier works, this album will remind you of those older works. I can honestly say that I'd be fine with whatever direction heRobust took with his future releases and this album and a return to the glitch is a case in point.

So enjoy the stylings of heRobust and follow his work (HERE). And if you don't know Muti music, follow them (HERE) and see how much greatness they have in their catalogue.

Remixes for your soul

Ghost Ark remixing Coldplay. Conflicted yet? Yeah I feel the same way, but I've recently heard some pretty great remixes of tracks that I don't really care for normally, and this one is no different. Then there's Bon Iver remixed by Phantom Shilla and The XX remixed by zaika. Are you seeing a pattern here? If not, here it is...great producers remixing well known artists/songs to great effect.


If I hadn't posted so much from these guys (zaika, Phantom Shilla, Ghost Ark) previously I'd not lump them into the same post, but I feel like they wouldn't mind and I know you guys don't mind, so here ya go.

The first track is that Coldplay remix I mentioned before, and the second is a great Bon Iver remix by Phantom Shilla. Following, and by no means the third best of these, is zaika's remix of The xx's track Angels. Good good stuff and worthy of multiple listens. Following these guys is also worth your time so show them some love by following their work: Phantom Shilla, zaika, Ghost Ark.

Star Slinger's Sunday morning Thistle

Well good morning, Star Slinger. Your newness is a welcome gift, y'know. While I'm not suffering from dehydration, alcohol induced headaches and constantly roiling stomach, this track still is needed.

You all know Star Slinger and you all SHOULD follow this great producer out of England.

Culprate, One More Time

So everyone has acquired the Culprate EP after reading Monday's post of his track Hall of Mirrors, right? Right?

 No?

Well...I'm not sure what you're waiting for but since you need another reminder it seems, check out this track with guest Maksim. It's quite tasty as is the rest of the EP.

So go buy the album already, follow Culprate already and enjoy this track some more.

Snubluck's got on them Moonbootz

You know how I know Snubluck is on fire? He cannot do any wrong. This track is just so great and I'm convinced this is the first transmission back from the curiosity Rover on Mars.  Has to be.

Utilizing those synths with the slushy beat is really a staple of Snubluck's sound. This upbeat ditty just scratches the surface of Snubluck's sound.

 So follow the lad (whose name is Corey English and is out of Denver) and snap up every download you can get your grubby fingers on.

Smack!

Oh hey there Friday afternoon! You're wanting to get ready for some raging, aren't you? Well try some funky glitch on for size. It's a short and sweet track, but it does the job.

Follow VENT, a cool little duo out of Londontown,  and pop this little ditty on repeat. Your booty will thank you.



  VENT - JUMP (COL024) by VENT

Friday!

It's payday Friday and I'm feeling carefree, so kick back with me and let this killer Notorious BIG remix from Nuck Chorris fill your earholes. Enjoy!

Lovely and Lonely

Bored, lonely and making amazing musical in only 30 minutes in no way to go through life, son. Or is it? That's right, xxyyxx's latest was made in 30 minutes. Let that sink in as you listen. And go show the lonely man himself some love HERE.

Morning Magic

More goodness from the land down under courtesy of Tincture. This Usher re-fix is pure magic, and the very best way to start off the day. Special thanks to DJ Babyshoe for dropping this hot fire in our turntable room yesterday. Enjoy!

Nit Grit's Holocene

NiT GriT remixing Bon Iver? Is this real life? Yeah it is and yeah he did it. when Bon Iver announced he was releasing stems for producers around the world, I think everyone knew that there'd be some absolutely awesome tracks involved. I think it is safe to say that you can count this one in the Awesome column.

Impossible not to like this tune in its original or remixed state, and along with that it's impossible not to like NiT GriT. Hailing from San Jose, CA, Danny Beall has been giving us the bass, dubstep and even some Purple for awhile now.

We've posted a few of his tunes (HERE and HERE), but that doesn't mean that the rest of his catalogue (and it's a considerable amount) isn't greatness. So follow NiT GriT (HERE) and enjoy his noises.

Adventure Club is on Fire

Our good pals Adventure Club dropped another heater on us this afternoon. It's no secret that we've been following these guys for awhile (check this first post back last June!) and it's not because they're charming lads (they are, though). It's because they keep putting out the quality music. Melodic dubstep is something they're pretty good at, along with those Bronze Whale guys, and they keep defining the sound with every track.

This is a remix of an Alexisonfire track To A Friend. The vocals enhance the production, or is it the other way around? Whatever the case it's the same slowburn awesomeness that we keep getting from these guys every time they drop a track.

 So yeah, follow these guys (HERE) and make sure you are on the boat when it leaves the dock. You don't want to miss this party.

The Summer Battle Arrives! *EXCLUSIVE HOT FIRE*

THE CONTEST HAS ENDED!

And man has it been fun! We will be announcing the winners in the next few days.

Stay tuned!

The I Love Summer remix contestants have arrived in full force. We where absolutely blown away with the direction and quality these producers brought. On top of that, we snagged Honey Claws official music video for your viewing pleasure.

So CRANK it up. CHECK out the video. And leave some Comment and Heart love for the contestants below that you like! Your votes and feedback will help us determine who walks away with new gear and a music video!

Also, Honey Claws have put their original track up for free download HERE. Have at it!

Arkist in the Afternoon

Bristol's Arkist is quickly becoming one of my favorite producers around. His 'out of the box' style is hard to categorize, falling somewhere in the grey area of the EDM landscape. His specialty seems to be gathering foundation elements from all the various genre's and re-arranging them into a completely new form, leaving the listener with combined feelings of discovery and familiarity. Take a listen to his latest "Two Night Stand" and one of my personal favorites "Fill Your Coffee"

Through The City with Michna

Michna, and those horns. He really was the man when he dropped his Swiss Glide track with the combination of tuba's and trombones. This track is more 80's synth band infusion, but yet with the melody and the horns he's given us with past hits such as Swiss Glide. This track is nothing too complex, but it's beauty is in it's simplicity.

Ghostly did us right with this track and we thank them for all the work they do so follow them (HERE) and cop that new Michna album (HERE).

Strovich takes us to Charlotte's Paradisco

So Charlotte Gainsbourg...I'm a fan. Some might say a sucker for her. Those that might say these things would be absolutely correct. That pixie-like voice gets me every time. The fact that she's cute as a button ( <--- look at that picture!! <--- )helps as well, but really it's all in that voice. 'Dat voice! Anyway, we've established that I'm a fan, so when Strovich here gets his electro fingers all over it and provides some punch to go along with the voice, well, I'm powerless to resist.

Fret not, though. I did ask an impartial source to make sure what I was digging wasn't just my natural reaction to Charlotte and huzzah! the answer came back positive.

If the Strovich name sounds familiar, it's for a reason. We've posted a few of his tracks before (HERE and HERE) and really like what he's doing. This producer from the frozen tundra of Edmonton first was introduced to us via our submission inbox and we've been following him ever since. So follow Strovich's sounds (HERE) like we do and enjoy his tunes.

Cry Wolf gets emotional with Mum

Cry Wolf gives us another installment of their remix EP that they'll be releasing to the public soon, and if it sounds a little different than the fare from before, well you'd be right. It's a remix of a track by Mum, a wonderful downtempo group out of Iceland who specialize in the atmospheric and sweeping tunes that'd make anyone want to rush into a mountain stream and lay down on the moss-covered rocks.

Up to this point, Cry Wolf has been making bangers by remixing bangers (See? and See?), but with this one they tried a different tact. Bangerfying a downtempo track from 2001 and creating that balance this remix EP looks to be building. I salute the Cry Wolf guys for jumping a little off the beaten path to remix this track. This is a track that resonates with Cry Wolf and they've done a great job instilling their own sound onto it without drowning the original wonderfulness of it.  Justin, one part of the duo, says this about the track:
 

"I was so in love with this song when I first heard it that I literally made this remix 2 minutes after I heard it for the first time, and then listened to it on repeat all night. It's been in the works to officially release for a while now.

Like my other remixes, I really wanted to keep the aesthetic of the original. I tried to maintain the ethereal, somewhat haunting tone, while stepping up the intensity in true Cry Wolf style. This track is really chill, but I am in love with how it turned out, and everyone that has heard it so far has been as well, so I really hope you like it!"

So enjoy this change of pace from the North Cackalackians, and follow them as they lead us along on the road to the Remix EP. Not sure about you, but I'm enjoying the ride!

Culprate's greatness in EP form

Culprate and his new album Nightmares in Reality has set the bar really high. 5 tracks that range from neurofunk, to straight up dubstep incorporating guest vocalists along the way. All 5 tracks are really really good making you wish there were many more included. But really, we expected nothing less, didn't we.

We've posted Culprate many times before as we count ourselves just a few of his legion of fans, and if this is your first exposure to Culprate, this album is a tremendous way to get introduced. Follow Culprate on his Soundcloud and buy his EP (HERE) for more.

heRobust takes you to Iggy Azalea's World

So this Iggy Azealia...what exactly does she have besides a ponytail and some good production behind her? Well, with this track she's got the greatness of heRobust Bustin her track My World. Hell, heRobust could make even a Krispy Kreme track ball hard.

Beefing up the already solid production, heRobust makes this track one of his own. Trap, bass, and cut up vocals make it a true BUSTED production.

Add this to the collection of his work and enjoy this fun trip through Iggy's world.

Terabyte Frenzy gives us the Monday Fire

THiNK set the precedent today with his bangin post earlier this morning so I have to reply in turn. So how about some ragga infused funkedified bass action? And moombahton too? Well sure!

The first track below, Collie Buddz gets that neurofunk treatment from Terabyte Frenzy, Alexander Ushakov out of England, and that treatment is very very nice. Gets you poppin and lockin while smokin a spliff. Well it would if you weren't stuck at work, like I am.

 The second track is a moombah track with ragga sounds as well and the really heavy bass that makes me like it even more. We don't post too much moombah, but this one here deserves it.

Enjoy this track, enjoy his other sounds (HERE) and let's all get through the day together, shall we?

Things To Come

Thanks to everyone for making this remix competition EPIC! 

While the submission period is over for the Honey Claws "I Love Summer" "Remix competition, we still have a whole lot of awesome coming your way. 

This Wednesday we will be releasing the contestants submissions, along with some free swag for you guys! 

Their success will rely heavily on your opinion, so make sure to vote, share, and comment. 

And to see you out, check out this Honey Claws throwback that was featured on season 4 of Breaking Bad.

Have some SKisM with your coffee

What better way to kick off the work week and start the morning with a bang than by jamming SKisM's latest "Red Heat". This glitch hop/dubstep fusion banger packs all sorts of punch, and as a bonus we have an excellent drum'n'bass remix from TC to go with it. Grab your headphones and another cup of coffee and turn these up nice an loud!

Syzthaime goes to the Dirty South

Bubba Sparxx and Ying Yang Twins...two artists I never really put much stock in, and really still don't. Gimmick rap notwithstanding, whenever Syzthaime releases something, I listen. He could cover Tiny Tim or Rebecca Black and I'd listen (not a request, just an analogy). Glad that I listened to this one because the treatment he gives this is enough where you'd hardly notice the original.

Sexy and smoothe, this track takes just snippets of the lyrics without making them the focal point.

So enjoy this great remix and follow Syzthaime (HERE).

Liar is so nice and dark

When was the last time you heard or even thought of Kosheen? Well when a sample is dropped in the middle of a great track, such as Liar's Nosferatu, you are slapped with that "Whoa, I know this!" realization. Kosheen's Hide U was a great track back around the turn of the century riding the wave of electro meets vocalists such as from Lamb, Everything But The Girl, Olive, etc. Kosheen stuck out as something a little darker and edgier without being overt about it. Or maybe that was just me.

Whatever the case, Liar, out of Romania, here has used the sample for his own purposes, a darker, deeper and more sub-worthy purpose and it works so well. The stark soundscape at the beginning belies the complexity towards the end of the song and those who don't suffer from extreme ADHD will be rewarded for listening to the track in its entirety.

And for those who are of the budget conscious variety (who amongst us isn't?) check out the compilation this track is included on (HERE) as well as the site that hosted the compilation. Much free music abounds.

So do your followings of Liar (HERE), and check those LifeCrushed guys/gals (HERE) too. As a bonus, check this new track and enjoy the continuing juxtaposition of atmospheric synths, vocals and beat with the darker edged elements layered in.

Your Sunday served Chilled

One thing you have to know about this post before you read on is that this is full of me fawning over tracks that are heaters, but heaters in a different sense. A more chilled sense. I've found some great artists in my quest for chillness (Exhibits A, B, C, and D) and I've found some more.

This post is serving as an introduction since these artists all deserve their own posts. This introduction, though, is my way of telling you about music you will be hearing more of in the future. I speak with such finality because if in reviewing the past predicts the future, then my bold claim is safe. So follow these great artists, and see just what they have in store for you in the coming days/weeks/months.

The first track is from a Michigander (that's an official term. I have family that are Michiganders so while I still sound ridiculous, at least I have facts on my side) named Alopex. This track is atmospheric, syrupy yet with a great beat to keep you engaged and really loving it. This track has no vocal samples, and while I am a sucker for the vocals, this track absolutely does not need it. You want a comparison? Think Tycho meets Ulrich Schnauss and you have a sense of what this track is.

  We Talk Sometimes by Alopex

This next track is from another Michigander named...atu...which is really spelled in Cyrillic lettering and means something in Greek, but since I studied a different Cyrillic based language (Russian) where letters were made up just for fun, I'm not quite sure what the name says or means...if anything. But I digress...a lot actually. This track from atu has those vocals I so love, and set against a smoky soul backdrop, this track hits me in all the right places. The only place it doesn't hit me in is the track's length. So short for such a great song seems a travesty.

  soul_child by αtμ

This track could be a natural extension of atu's above in it's slow soul burn. It's got the vocals, more in sampled form, finger snaps, raindrop production and the electric piano work that covers it all so nicely. Once again, though, this track ends way too soon. ~Roof Light~ out of England seems to be just starting his musical journey and if further maturation of sound is involved, we're all in for a wonderful ride.

Already Know... by ~Roof Light~

The last track is from a lad named Tom Earwaker, out of Engerland (that's England for those who can't read my inner dialogue's faux accent). Full disclosure for those impatient ones out there, give this track 45 seconds for it go get going, and believe me it does. There are those vocals again, and the off beat percussion makes me love it even more.

Inside by TomEarwaker

AlunaGeorge is STILL lovely

We've all heard AlunaGeorge, well, maybe some of us have, but what we can't get enough of is her voice, and their production. Back when AlunaGeorge's EP was released in Europe (NOW available for us Yanks HERE) there were remixes bandied about from artists like Bondax, Brenmar, Riton, and the ones I liked most, BobbyTank (HERE) and Lapalux (HERE). The name was out there after that and so this eagerly anticipated follow-up was...well...eagerly anticipated. And here's the first track to surface from that eagerly anticipated follow-up...can you tell I'm awaiting a follow-up...eagerly?

This duo of Aluna Francis and George Reid out of London is at it again with a great tripped out track called Your Drums, Your Love.  Juxtaposing Aluna's wonderful voice with the Bleep Bloop style backing is a perfect dance that they've carried off so well in the past and again with this track. Your drums, Your love, which will be released in October, will also be part of a full length release that will be dropped in 2013.  Why must labels make us wait so long?!?

Whatever the case, Follow AlunaGeorge HERE, Like them HERE and love this song like I do.

Late night Floss!

Flosstradamus gives us the Trap to live by. Yeah they've been everywhere and everyone knows their name, but y'know, you still need to pay attention when they drops the madness.

Follow Floss, follow their progression, and follow your sensibilities towards more of their work.

Klaypex goes remixin'!

Klaypex is at it again.  They seemed to lay low after the release of their great album Ready To Go back in the Spring (and more power to 'em!) but they've re-surfaced with a sweet little remix of DVBBS track DRVGS. This track was remixed a bit back in the Spring (we posted one by Arkasia (HERE), and while some hit the mark, others didn't. This remix, however, is nice and smooth and so so nice.

Enjoy this track, check out their album (HERE) if you haven't already and follow them HERE. It looks like they're coming back into the world and I for one can't wait for what's up next!

Afternoon mash-up perfection.

What else can I say about this amazing mash-up from GenErik other than when it works out as good as this the result is a moment of pure bliss. Thanks again to Dan for dropping this one over at our Turntable.fm hang out spot. Be sure to check out the entire set that this gem is pulled from HERE.

Waxhole does Denver!

Those of you who are Facebook fans of the blog have probably seen pictures surfacing from a Waxhole event that was held in Denver last week. Put together in large part by local DJ extraordinaire, DJ Babyshoe, this event brought together friends of the blog, artists that have appeared on the blog as well as friends made through Waxhole's favorite Turntable.fm room, DNGR Beats.

From our first shirt's appearance, to playing side by side with Groove Cereal, MANCUB and Babyshoe himself, the night was a huge success. Raising money for a fallen artist in LA was great, and enjoying the night with good music, great beer (graciously donated by Great Divide Breweries) and even better company made the night an absolute stormer. One of those when you look up with extreme disappointment when the house lights come up with the first hint that the night is drawing to a close. So many people we finally got to put faces with names. Guys we have posted like Real Cosby, MANCUB, Groove Cereal, and Synaesthetik were there as well as Flashlights and Cerulean/L E IT, guys we haven't but probably will soon, given their work.  And then others who are more on the Promotions/Management side of things like JINRO and Holy Underground showed their support

A big thanks for The Deer Pile, a pretty cool community center room over a great restaurant City O' City and the guys who helped. A special shoutout goes to Leonard, a local artists with studio space in the same area as the Deer Pile, who painted on stage only to cut in on the dancefloor with tremendous roller skating moves.

Another great big thanks goes out to Great Divide Brewery who donated 4 cases of their great beer for the party. DJ Babyshoe deserves a big thanks as does the great people of Denver who made it out. It was a small affair, but it was truly a wonderful night and shows how great the artists that have been blogged by, as well as the friends of The Waxhole are great people as well.

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who came out and look out for more Waxhole events to come!


And now for some music! Check out tunes from Groove Cereal, Synaesthetik and MANCUB.

Bronze Whale reminds us Where You Should Be

Bronze Whale, those guys who have been killing on the remix front, just gave us something else to chew on.

Up to this point they've destroyed with re-rubs of LIPS, Youth Lagoon, Honey Claws, and Meiko. So what happens when they get some vocals from sultry songstress, Kandace Ferrel, of a cover of Skream's track Where you Should Be? Well, they kill as per usual. Evoking Purity Ring type vocal work, yet staying true to their own brand of subtle, but head noddin', wubbin' dubstep, these Whales of Bronze have given us the type of excellent fare we'd expect with a bit of a change-up.

What this track compels you to do (besides dancing your face off) is to follow the guys of Bronze Whale, follow Kandace Ferrel, and by all means, download this track to repeatedly jam, share, love and caress...in whatever order.

Cahb Remixes for your Sexy Sunday

Your Sunday Sexy came a little bit early. Early morning goodness from Cambridge, UK based Cahb, gets you right in the head for the day of rest/recuperation/rejuvenation.

You'll see two tracks here, both of which are remixes of great chill artists (one from Swarms whom I am a huge fan of), and although they are remixes, Cahb has given them his own touch and feel and really gotten them sounding great. While a little quiet on the mastering front, the tracks still deserve a listen and enjoyment.

 Enjoy these two tracks, snag the Free Downloads and follow Cahb. While he dabbles in different genre's, he's finding a niche with the chillness.

Let this soak in..

Inbox goody sent over from imprintafter.

Yeah. It's good. Just a funky ass chill-out track in your good ol 100 bpm range.

Listening back to imprintafter's catalgue, he's defintely got some winner so hop over and show him some follow/comment love!


Another one for your listening holes, because I said so.
