i found this mp3 over at bigstereo earlier today and couldn’t help but notice how similar it sounds to fox n wolf. that girl’s voice is almost the same. kinda weird. then i got started thinking about fox n wolf and how much i used to like them. so right after this i’m making a post about them.

ok back to groove armada. i know nothing about them. i do know that they used to be on every down-tempo, chillout, ibiza, trip-hop compilation cd that was released from ‘97-’03. i think that’s where i first heard about them. when i was really in to trip-hop. i used to love that shit…maybe i’ll make a trip-hop post after that fox n wolf one…

anyway, i couldn’t find the original version of this song, just a couple remixes, but whatever. listen to this remix by the twelves and then listen to the fox n wolf song that’s about to get posted above. they kinda sound the same. kind of..

groove armada – drop the tough (the twelves B-LIVE remix)

i don’t know who the hell this dert guy is or what he’s all about, but he likes bjork and so do i. although i don’t really follow, or even listen to her anymore, i can’t help but love her. bjork was one of the first artists that showed me there are no rules when it comes to music. like. no rules. none.

so here’s a track off the tape. samples one of bjork’s more popular songs “it’s oh so quiet”

dert – its oh so loud

if you’re a dj/producer/whatever and you haven’t checked out ccMixter yet, you probably should jump on that. its a creative commons audio site full of royalty free samples from all sorts of musicians. they have contests and lots of cool shit for you to do. i got a bunch of random samples from there a while back and every now and then i throw something in to the mix and see if it works. conveniently the vocal track from Christopher Willits’ song Color Shifting fit my track pretty well and i kept it. i still haven’t listened to the original, but i’m pretty pleased with my remix. soooooo check it out!

let’s see if it will blend

i picked up the new iheartcomix scion mix cd at giant robot last week and its been on blast in my car stereo ever since. here are two of my favorite tracks from the remixed part of the double disc brought to you by chicago’s flosstradamus and million $ mano. even though hollywood holt only raps for like twenty seconds, i think its his best yet! 

heartsrevolution – c.y.o.a (flosstradamus remix)

matt & kim – its a fact (mano remix feat. hollywood holt)

first mixtape i ever made.
started recording it a week after i got my turntables, mix of sweet 80s songs with a few extras. there’s only one copy of the original mix left, but i re-recorded it using *gasp* a compuuterrrr! i had to record some of the tracks straight from the original vinyl so yeah, it sounds like it…

anyway, this mix is the shit and it gets loud as fuck. dig it.
beatkids – i thought this was an 80s party.mp3
