MGMT - Kids

Throwback.. Mike Conradi - Aug 23, 2008 - originally posted August 22, 2008

WE ARE THROWING BACK nearly a year to the height of Summer 2008.

- Music had been going in a whole new direction. House music regained a soul in many ways and technologies assisted in the mass production of digital creativity that has helped shape samples and elements popular in current House, Techno, Jungle/Drum and Bass, and more so - general contemporary Electronica.

Today, the music is in all the clubs and blasted through commercial channels. Much of it is pop-gimmick BULLSHIT music. But for a few champions and pioneers success has been elemental in growing digital dance music.


The progression Toronto DJ Mike Conradi (Search top-left for a whole slew of mixes) makes with each of his recorded sessions is a prime quality for a DJ, seemingly effortless, and quite unique to have.

And his control of effects and sound levels just intrigues my mind. Let it up people, Conradi is good. Real good.



“ A late Summer blend of fun, head shaking tunes. Respect to Conradi for mixing international and local sounds, Toronto's Hatiras, Deadmau5, Robb G, and The Phat Conductor make an appearance alongside Justice - Phantom Pt II. Just a perfect Summer blend.

DnBTV - Feline Crew Takeover all female Drum and Bass crew repping the big tunes

A collective of all female sound-wizards called Feline Crew brought their goods and tunes and MCs to DNBTV. So many great downloads have been posted on RRR, but its the constant change and progression of DNBTV and its guests that makes me post these sets.

As someone who truly enjoys the dimensions electronic music has taken to recover from the depths of Hardstyle and Happy Hardcore (much respect to each on a good night by-the-way..), it is great to hear organic, soul-moving, quality sounds. Plus - the new vibe of collaborating, for me, is a throwback to the community of party-kids and ravers alike. Much respect.


And big-up respect to MC Chickaboo of the Batty Bass crew too, for her abilities behind the bass of 4/4 or the broken-step beats. It is still my intentions to show my support in the crowd at one of Batty Bass' events. Here's hoping!


And now the good sounds. Very different approaches by each female, respectable artists. Big, big tings!
