Myagi - Im Stealing Your Stereo Breaks get a comeback

Cut with a well amount of personally produced material,
the hardest working man in the North American Break-Beat sound - producer/DJ Myagi, steps up and presents a championed mix of Breaks.
Nearly every-other track he produced himself. Fusing broken beats and funky themes with a sampling of House, a choice listen. Better more - the variety of his tunes brings back memories of classic breakin' and flexin' in the wee hours of the morn'. Choice listen.




Enjoy the mix!

David Guetta - Party Fun Total party mix, House, Electro, from David Guetta

Saturday's have been heaven-on-Earth most recent. Beautiful days, warm sun, blue sky, and stereo crank'd tunes. David Guetta, as big as he is in terms of high-quality production, isn't as well received as he should be. Nevertheless, his good attitude towards party, good-time, and energetic, climbing-the-wall, drop-the-bass bad-ass music make's him a DJ unlike any other.

The mix does not have a track-list. Before, I wouldn't post a mix unless it had a full track-list. But then there are plenty of known tunes that Guetta mixes perfectly with. Simple, often fast mixes between records , but he has a great ear for attributing two points of two songs into one seamless mix. Download the mix and blast it. Electro, House, MNML, + + +. Extended loops, pro effect strategies, and one timely, persuasive, and present blend. Tuned up!

Roska - May 12 UK Funky - free mix by Roska on Rinse FM

A mix that chugs along quite finely. Recorded on Rinse FM with a bit of talk-over, but many exclusive tunes. UK Funky - I seem to think each artist playing or producing the material has their own take on this genre. There are few specialists that play like Roska, a champion background in UK Garage. Dance riddims and chunky beat smashers with jazzy grooves and broken beat breaks.

State of House Laurent Garnier's good words against hipster House

On the campaign trail for his brand new album, Tales Of A Kleptomaniac, respected French techno producer, DJ and label kingpin Laurent Garnier has spoken about his dislike for the brash and boisterous style of his countrymen at bleeding edge label Ed Banger.

In an interview with Resident Advisor Garnier was in no mood to bite his tongue, clearly unimpressed with the over-the-top attitude of Busy P and his posse. “There’s one thing that really has changed in the music scene and that’s the way we exist,” said Garnier, when asked for his thoughts on the current scene. “15 years ago, we fought for our music. We didn’t care about having our pictures taken, or being in magazines. Some people did, but it was not the done thing – it was all about being faceless, letting the music do the talking. That was one of the great things about techno music. Now it’s all about what I look like, who I am, how I dress, how rock and roll I am and how stupid I can be.”

As the founding father of the seminal – but now-defunct – record label F-Communications, Garnier helped to launch the career of Mr Oizo, who ironically is now at home amongst the Ed Banger stable of artists. “A lot of the new guys now, we wouldn’t have signed them to F-Communications, because it’s not our thing,” he continued. “Musically it doesn’t excite us at all. Some of them I like – I’m not saying it’s all crap – but a lot of it just doesn’t talk to me. I feel a lot of it is marketing more than anything else. This is why I feel dubstep is more exciting, because I feel those guys are making it for the right reasons.”

Canadian May Weekender loads of free mixes

Heading into the Canadian May Long-Weekend with a smile and my head shook up from bass and synth-pop. For those non-Canadians, the Victoria Day weekend in May is a call-back to our British monarch heritage. It is really pointless that we still celebrate our late head-of-state Victoria, The Queen of England's birthday, but it is the unofficial kick-off to the Summer season in Canada. Usually camping, beer, beaches, bon-fires, fireworks, road-trips, and similar debauchery is in store. Or working for double your wage on the holiday Monday as I will be doing.

But the iPod is loaded up and plenty has been downloaded. I now must sort and delete mediocre from shit I'll actually listen to. Spor, Apex, Alphabeat, Bat for Lashes, Sloan, the Vandals, Lagwagon, DJ Cure, and some other fine mixes already synced that never leave my iPod.

Coming out of November of 2008, this heavy hitter is a must have for DnB enthusiasts. Amazing basslines and mixing that have been enjoying my headphones most recently. Not much written out there about this quartet of DJs. Aside from this Wikipedia page and an article on GrooveRadio, but let their beats speak for themselves. The group has been playing since 1998 and are a combination at times and solo projects more often.
I hope to post more Drum and Bass more often. So keep tuned!

VV Brown - Shark in the Water Do Wop Indie - NEW track

Sonic contradiction and fabulous self fix-up tunes. VV Brown is a keeper in my collection and her latest track Shark in the Water flexes her inspired voice and makes an incredible tune. The only problem I have is that you're weather was too nice, take me to England!

Though in the coming months a trip is in order, the video and the track is a hitter on notes and emotions. Something many can get behind and follow. I have been impressed with all her releases and Shark in the Water just shows me her talent, her range, and her dealings. It's one thing to get a track that plays well, but it is another completely to know the story.

The transition of island rock ballad to quick finish lets me replay and replay VV's new track. Emotive, exciting, chill, thrill. . it's the tune for the time.

Perhaps a pub-show is in order for my travels? VV - we'll talk! England friends - we'll talk! but for now, enjoy the tunes and find more on one of our favourite up-starts!

Mary Jane Baker free Fidget, Electro, and Bassline mix

In her own words,

This is my first recorded house set. WARNING to those who don't enjoy house you can GET down to; this set is HARD and DIRTY, and probably not like anything you're used to. It's very possible youre head may ex/implode. With tracks ranging from a variety of prestigious and award winning 'Nu-Aged' producers, this Nu-Rave house mix includes a selection that borders on a variety of genres such as Garage, Techno, Fidget, Trance and even Breakbeat. I wanted to share nothing but badass basslines, cheesetastic vocals and never ending delicious drops, to keep those rumps shakin.

Big thanks to Jessica for the set! Now download and enjoy!

Metric Official video for Gimme Sympathy + XTRAS

The brand new album Fantasies from Toronto's Metric encapsulates and enforces Emily Haines' views on many subjects. Vocal, synthy, and deeply down to Earth - the album hits all the right spots.

This particular track brings back the wave of excitement I first felt listening to the original debut several years ago. Pop-py, but not generic. A satisfying return of the bright Canadian band.

"Who would you rather be: The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?" Here's Jimmy's answer: "Neither. One is dead and the other is corporate!"

Listen to the entire album and get excited to catch Metric live. Drowned in Sound invited Metric to review the new album track-by-track. Check it!

They're original viral videos are hilarity!

Mother Earth's Bar Tricks

Cloud streets are rows of cumulus clouds aligned by low lying streams of wind. This example was filmed and photographed over Sea of Okhotsk in Summer of 2007.



And of course video evidence.



This Google Image Search shows more varied examples. Neat how such things happen. Maybe God was combing his Mother Earth's hair? Woaaaah.. Why don't God fearing and God praising people, or the God makers, start looking after the only planet we've got? As with the rest of us! I tend to think, and maybe act in selfish ways of convenience. But that's why Earth Day and events like Earth Hour are there to help remind us of our duty to respect our planet.


A BIT OF OBSERVATIONAL FYI: Calgary has recently begun implementing a blue-box recycling program. Everyone who's received their blue box is excited. Single-stream bins that eventually get processed into recyclable materials. Being true innovators, most communities in Ontario have had the program for up to 20 years! Good to see it happen here, however. I'm sure the drive to the community depots with week/month old recyclables was pleasant.

PS. It's very exciting for Earth week to be starting off on 4-20-09! :)

Work It

From the days of Funky House and Dirty Breaks came an cross-border duo called The Beat Freakers. Full of funk and big skills in performing live, The Beat Freakers testified to the Chicago and Toronto underground during the early-mid 2000's. A dynamic fusion of phat tracks and funky styles left its mark whether playing to massive sold-out indoor venues, or playing from the back of a rental truck to the most willing listeners. Again, The Beat Freakers - a class act that has been on hiatus. Wonder what their new word will be?

Killa Sound

Free download of Zinc's
Killer Sound EP.
Mini release of remodeled House music. UK Funky is a bit like UK Garage, subtly more 4/4.

“I like the vibe of that scene,” Zinc says. “It sounds like a cross between regular house and UK garage, with mainly 4/4 beats and basslines, but not as fast or cheesy as Bassline House.”

Beijing Nightlife, as the city prepared for the arrival of Zinc.

Increase the Party

Moguai - German producer and DJ of House. For more than a decade he's been an international player of sound in the most intimate spaces to the biggest warehouse parties. Now with his internationally syndicated Punx Up the Volume radio broadcast he stays vital in with his music in-front. Two tasty treats of House in clubby, and sometimes dreamy states.

Where to begin but where it ends? Miss Kittin has been a phenomenal artist and vocalist to the underground scene since the mid-90's. Her iconic sound of synth and strong vocals, sexy and sleek, have rebounded her 15 years later for one to watch in 2009. I first heard her during Media Studies in the college art studios (2003) and have loosely followed her throughout the years, but her sound is iconic. Twilight and perceptive delights. Crisp, sensual vocals. Deep and melodic grooves. Fantasy and finesse.


PS. I'll also mention Chicks on Speed: “Kaltes klares Wasser” is one of my all-time favourite tracks.

Bleed It

A little bit of everything thrown into two separate hours of dance music. An essential mix by the impressive Fake Blood.

Human Robots

Better than the Kollaboration videos. This is collaboration, however. Two brothers pop and lock and liquid and moon walk as a morphing robot. Intense.

Sprung Leak

The lovely Hannah Holland of Bastard Batty Bass releases a proper set for a proper time. She's reppin' Spring with a tasty new mix of her signature selections. Spring is now upon you (definitely not here..) and rolling in are the sounds of tomorrow's parties! I am probably heading to the mountains next week to ski and it feels good to not feel brittle in -35c with a severe windchill. But coasting through the snow and vista views are in order. I guess that's what this mix is about for me. I'm sure for others it will bump the bass and have you dancing with the windows wide open!

It's also released at a perfect time. RiotRiotRiot was started one year ago to collect all the music that really made something happen inside my ears. We've listened to Holland for over a year and it feels damn good to hear what she's bringing to the US in 2009. She's been having a time traveling and working Europe, Australia, and Asia with her hand-picked blends of House and Techno. If all goes well we might have a few dates around our areas that be worth traveling for! (Hannah, please somewhere along the West coast..)

GA Take-Over

On the 20th of March Andy Cato and Tom Findlay, the duo that forms Groove Armada, took the place behind the decks of Pete Tong's Essential Selections on BBC Radio1. Grand selections from the pair! Note: The Blame remix of Laidback Luke & Steve Angello's Show Me Love, and Skream's Dub mix of La Roux In for the Kill are my top picks. As well, the usual radio show call-ins, shout-outs, and buggering around we've come to espect. But much more!

Synth and Break and Bass

A transforming blend of House and Breaks done propper. Deep bass and club-rockin' tunes to fill the room. Reminds me of old Embassy/Whippet parties in London, Canada. Tech-Funk and Breakbeat mashed to smash! Check out Meat Katie from a few days ago, then jump back in time to heard his JJJ Mixup from 2007. Old.. . good!


By the way, I have finally saw the phrase 'the people don't dance no more' come to light. Not pointing out the guy in front with the perma BASS face.. Hands out yo' pockets son!

Zombie Disco Squad Zulu House mix downloads

Zombie Disco Squad are weird-and-bumpy House music. New and sometimes experimental sounds of House, wild and well-played blends, and damning drums! Some call it Zulu..


In their words,

Zulu is banging on drums. Zulu is congas and cowbells. Zulu is a relentless kick drum. Zulu is rhythm. Zulu is jacking til you sweat. Zulu is old and new. Zulu is Get Rude. Zulu is a feeling. Zulu is that low down wobble you sometimes feel. Zulu is a familiar feeling. Zulu is fresh. Zulu is bass. Zulu is bigger than you and its totally okay to feel a little intimidated right now.

1000 Hand Dance

After a shockingly split-up day mixed with good and bad emotions I want to post this video that always re-fire's my inner furnace.

RIP to the father of a long time friend, and Happy St Patt's.

Princess Superstar

Princess Superstar - Live in Graz (Right Click, Download)

It is the ultimate party mix, for now. Lots of old school classics and party mixing. Plus - you get some dumb blonde shouting through the mic every once in a while.

View a sample from the SAME night the mix was recorded:

Kuduro is Kickin'

New video from Buraka Som Sistema. Creative videography in the editing makes for one fun video. This Kuduro stuff sounds amazing to my Canadian ears. It isn't often we'll find a great music/video pairing.

Buraka Som Sistema - Aqui Para Voces

An incredible short animation passed on by my friend David Transplant.

Carlos Lascano in his own words:

"A couple of pencil-outlined birds escape from a little girl´s drawing, leading us through the life she dreams of."

The track is parted Sigur Ros Hoppipolla. More about making the film, and the creativity and techniques HERE.
