This is a great song, but this video is so creepy that it gave me a bad trip and I'm dead sober.

Zeds Dead

I've been feelin the dubstep all day ever since this morning when Swagga by Datsik shuffled up on my Ipod. Luckily, I found this new Canadian dupstepper duo, Zed's Dead, and they are just plain filthy. They've got some womping beats and dank remixes. Plus, Pulp Fiction allusions are always appreciated.

Pretty Lights- Spilling Over Every Side

   
    Pretty Lights is one of my favorite artists today. Every one of his songs has so many different parts but they all weave togeth with churning grooves that you can feel in your gut. The music can be jazzy, trippy, relaxed, and intense all at the same time as he balances electro with funk and jazz and samples with live instrumentals. Its the balance that makes it all work and Pretty Lights the most inventive electro artist today.
    His songs are long but they rarely drag because they are always shifting and taking you along like a groovy riptide. This new EP (as he puts it) implements "the transitioning between something pretty and organic to something heavy and electro. A sort of a dimension flip." This dimension flip is the secret to how his music works and it makes this EP a jump in the right direction for Pretty Lights. Take a listen and let him take you on the journey that is "Spilling Over Every Side."


You can download the full album at prettylightsmusic.com and I highly recomend that you do. But, here are a few highlights.

Pretty Lights- Hot Like Dimes
Pretty Lights- A Million Tomorrows

(500) Days of Weezy

So this previously unkown DJ, My Sick Uncle, came out with this sick Lil Wayne mixtape, "(500) Days of Weezy." It is filled with really inventive mixes that constantly catch you off-guard because the songs (the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack) he mixes with are completely unexpected but yet they still work and sometimes even better than the originals. They definitely change the way you see each song which is why I think good mixes and mashups are worthwhile. As a Weezy fan on Weezy-withdrawal, this mixtape comes at the right time. (500) Days of Summer is also a great movie. You can get the mixtape at 500daysofweezy.com.

Here are two of my favorites:

My Sick Uncle- Fear Forever
My Sick Uncle- Lollipop Dreams

Wolfgang Gartner

I've always wished that there were more techno remixes of classical music. Thank you to Wolfgang Gartner for making this dream a reality. Wolfgang's remix of Mozart's 5th is unbelievable.

Wolfgang Gartner- Wolfgang's 5th

Wolfgang Gartner- Fire Power

LA RIOTS

Yesterday, I went to the madness that was the Wicker Park Music Festival. There were tons of people and I went late and only got to see LA Riots. His shit was awesome. I couldn't find anything online that fully does it justice, but here's some stuff that comes close.
