Feelin' a little Hypster today
Today felt like a day to share some love for hipsters. Well, just Hypster, the rest can die in a fire for all I care (unless that's too mainstream of a way to die).
Anyways, Hypster is an up and coming electro house producer currently signed to Plasmapool records and Houserecordings. His productions give off an uplifting disco-esque vibe that will make you move to the music whether you like it or not. Check out the link below to see what I'm talking about!

Some Friday Bass
A Friday isn't a Friday without some dirty bass and Clockwork's remix of Swagger by Dem Slackers isn't one to disappoint. Clockwork took the already filthy original and reworked the bassline to create a heavy electro house/electro tune. Below is a link to the song on his soundcloud, I recommend checking out his other work as well!

Housey as F***!
Alright so the tune I've been feeling recently is Truelove's Jack House remake of Rock the Casbah. Its not a banger in the slightest, but it's got that typical house groove that makes you want to dance. The glitchy vocal samples used in each verse add some complexity to an otherwise simple track. This remake even samples the original's chorus during the breakdown. Check it out below!

Feed Me @ Babylon Night Club - Ottawa June 3rd
If you haven't checked out Feed Me yet, do yourself a favor and give his EP's a listen. In case you don't know, Feed Me is the Electro House side project of Drum and Bass producer Spor, signed to Deadmau5's label mau5trap. His guitar-esque leads created with uplifting synths creates a sound that is unique in today's shrinking world of electronic dance music creativity. His latest EP, To The Stars dropped on June 3rd.
Feed Me was at Babylon night club in Ottawa this past Thursday and man DOES HE PUT ON A SHOW! Dubstep, Drum and Bass and Electro House were being cranked all night on a nicely calibrated sound system (aka: No ringing ears!). After drooling over the set up he was DJing on (2 x CDJ-2000's and a DJM-900), it was nice to see that he was feeding off the crowd's energy and controlling it like a DJ should be doing. He also kept the crowd's thirst quenched by pouring Grey Goose into the crowd's mouths. What was even better is the fact that he stayed around after the show to talk to the fans and sign some of his awesome Feed Me stickers.
The best part was when he dropped "Pink Lady" off of his new EP (To The Stars). It's an unique track for sure, containing the high-pitched leads that dutch house is famous for, a filty dub/brostep bass line and an odd tempo, different than the typical house and dubstep tempos. I linked the track below so you can see what I mean.
Overall, it was quite the party and a night to remember for sure. This is only the beginning for this rising star as well, I can't wait for what he has planned next.

First Post + Banger Wednesdays
Hey blogosphere, I figure I'd start off my blog with a bang.. or a banger for that matter but let's settle the awkward introduction first.
I have been working on my DJing "craft" since December of 2010, mostly playing only to myself and the occasional viewers on Ustream. My current set up is a 13 inch early 2008 Macbook hooked up to a Traktor Kontrol S4.
I just want to see how far I can take this DJing thing as listening to music can only entertain a gadget geek so much. The blog? I don't really have a plan at the moment. I definitely do want to have a few pre-defined routines that will provide some content on a consistent basis at least. You can definitely expect to see a few mini-mixes and mixes in the upcoming weeks but for now, I'll just introduce you to this gem.
Recently, Spinning Records released the remixes of the song "Pressure" by Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji. Thankfully, the Alesso remix of this tune delivers on the banger front and maintains a high level of energy off the get go. Although people can claim this sounds like a typical progressive house anthem, the gater effect used in the chorus makes the song for me. It adds that extra bit of energy to make it stand out from the rest of the tunes in the rapidly increasing pile of 4 to the floor tunes
Reading about a song is so meaningless... just listen to the link below! Overall it gets an 8/10. Until next time, keep fist pumpin'
