Basstown On The Mad Decent Blog...Again!

DJ Die Young, who spun one hell of an afterparty in a random Somerville living room this past weekend.
5 hours straight, and yes...the light behind the window is dawn. Ooofa...

"The last time I put up a Basstown mix it got 160+ comments and made every crew in the city battle each other in an all-caps throwdown. It was funny because it was the first thing I ever posted without listening to it first. So I thought why not stoke the fire some more and give you another mix by the same crew (this time not minimal and with some boston content) that i haven’t listened to either..." - Paul Devro, Mad Decent

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Mad Decent exclusive: DJ Die Young And DJ Etan - The Angry Adequate Mix

Basstown + Diplo. Together Forever.

It's been over a week. Actually, it's been two weeks, and because we've all been so busy and stressed, there is a very important track we've been meaning to post. Diplo's set at Great Scott was epic, and the best is actually when you hear him say something to the effect of "Great Scott...man this place is tiny! But I'm going to play here every time I come through Boston." Today this is going up, and so help me god if our server crashes (because this is 154MB, yikes!) I will have to take this down, chop it in half, and put it back up via zShare.

All in all, the event went incredibly well (and for those of us that didn't know how talented DJ Sega is..holy shit! He is the Philly version of Etan, for sure...young, talented, and incredibly nice.), and even a bunch of online drama can't bring us down. Things like that are bound to happen from time to time, but we're just glad that we have the friendships we do, and that people enjoy themselves at our parties.

Anyway, enjoy!

Steadycam: In The Moog For Love

March 11th marks the release of Get Physical's stellar mix, Body Language, and this sixth volume was done by Domino Records' Junior Boys, whose "In The Morning" was loved all throughout last year, in addition to their great live DJ sets. It's an excellent, accessible mix, and the tracklist is as follows:

01 Sorcerer: "Surfing at Midnight (Prins Thomas Miks)"
02 Supermayer: "Saturndays"
03 Chelonius R. Jones: "Deer in the Headlights (DJ Hell Remix)"
04 Love Nine: "Feedback"
05 Kreon & Lemos: "Fola [ft. Feeboy]"
06 Kelley Polar: "Rosenband (Magic Tim's Instrumental Version)"
07 Steadycam: "In the Moog for Love"
08 Radio Slave: "Screaming Hands (Cosmo Vitelli Radioaktivitat Remix)"
09 Studio: "Life's a Beach! (Todd Terje Beach House Mix)"
10 Gui.tar: "Love Started to Shine"
11 Stereo Image: "Dark Chapter"
12 Matthew Dear: "You Know What I Would Do"
13 Pushé: "Don't Take Your Love Away"
14 Visage: "I'm Still Searching"
15 Junior Boys: "No Kinda Man"
16 Rework: "Love Love Love Yeah (Chloé Remix)"
17 f0st3r: "bl3w r0d30 d3m0"
18 Chloé: "Be Kind to Me"
19 Bill Nelson: "When Your Dream of Perfect Beauty Comes True"

The Steadycam track - who first floored me with "Knock-Kneed" a bit ago - is an absolute favorite, and we've taken it from the center of the mix and put it here for a taste of the incredible edition of Body Language.

Kingdom Mixtape Volume 2 - Out Now!

Our December residency at Great Scott featured the first live performance of OMG Michelle - a five-piece from Brooklyn made up of some of the fiercest ladies we've ever met. Their ringleader is Kingdom, the DJ/producer who puts on Todo Mundo on a monthly basis with DJ Lone Wolf, and splits his time between New York and Boston.

"You Don't Know Michelle" was picked up by Annie Mac of BBC Radio and became a club anthem. "I'm excited for you to hear the Telepathe 'Chromes On It' remix I did on it," says Kingdom, of the mix. "As well as Aaliyah on a Kwaito beat, 702 on a B'more beat, and some bangin' Bassline, Hip-House, and Crunk tracks."

Below is the tracklist for the mix:
01 OMG Michelle - You Don't Know Michelle (Prod. Kingdom)

Coralcola is Hypnotizing

I love when amazing people send us amazing music. Coralcola from Worcester, MA is one of these people. I am not sure originally how we ended up with his Heath Ledger track, but this Field inspired joint impressed the hell out of all of us. His more subdued remix of Crystal Castles is also included here. This track builds and rides the 4x4 rhythm very sweetly until the very end where the sample gets mashed up, worked over and distorted. Someone's good with their plug-ins...

Coralcola also wanted me to tell you he has an EP coming out and some remixes on the horizon. Let's be on the lookout for this, ya?
