Postarama: Playin' Catch Up

It's been super busy the last few days on my end. I didn't have a chance to record a Monday Mixdown or post much at all. The following couple days are going to be similar.

I'm sure most people have already grabbed what may be the biggest release of the summer, but if you haven't then make sure to grab it now!

Here's some music that's been floating around blogland recently.
Don't forget to check out other music from these artists @ Beatport, Gigacrate, Turntable Lab, Juno or any other fine MP3 retailer and give their Myspace page some love.

First up is NYC's Drop the Lime. This dude has been holding down the bass-heavy scene for a while now. This track is from the Trouble & Bass Scion A/V CD Sampler. It's dark and bassy, but delivers some synth work that is a refreshing change from the warbly sound that's starting to swamp the internets.

Drop the Lime - Tabac Theme

Whoooooooa! Next is a new remix from one of The Boombox Incident's favorite artists, Sidechains. The Spanish producer gives us a bouncy remix that has stripped away much of the high-end syth work that is expected and replaced it with some old school rave stabs. Still a dancefloor burner.

Blue Pearl - Naked in the Rain (Sidechains Big Life Remix)

For the last year my favorite production/remix work has come from members of the Brick Bandits. Mad Decent just posted this track the other day. It's so hot my mouse and keys are melting (worst joke...).

Bleszt & DJ Lokey - Turn Me Up (Jersey Anthem)

This track is way too short. Super hype rap/house track from DJ Benzi and Willy Joy featuring Wale and Lady Gaga. The Doo Dew Brown bassline is totally underused these days.

Wale and Lady Gaga - Chillin' (Benzi and Willy Joy Remix)

The last track is a little late now (first posted in late April on Hype Machine), but it's crrrrraaaazy! I love when producers/DJs post set intros and edits for performing. However, they often have tons of tags in the them which kind of defeats the purpose. Yeah, it's cool to listen to the intros and stuff, but I'd never play it live. It's not like I want to claim the edit or intro as my own, but why post it if we can't use it? This one is pretty good though (it says 'MSTRKRFT' once). Give this a listen for sure, I have it on repeat.
