Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

It’s been a while, but I finally got around to another mix! This is pretty much what I’ve been listening to lately (in rotation with a lot of other EDM genres i listen to, lol). You may notice that there’s a few tracks remixed by an artist named Lenno. If you don’t know who he is, you will soon. For artists under the age of 18, lets just say, Madeon is not alone. I’m hoping that I expose you something new through these mixes, whether that be an artist/remixer or maybe even a whole genre. And I guess that requires a little bit of trust from you that I won’t take you on some sort of musical fiasco, so, thanks. And if I still haven’t yet earned that, hopefully you recognize some of the tracks on the track list and maybe that will be enough to get you to hit play.

cheers.

01. Labtracks vs Daft Punk - Love (Lenno Remix) vs Harder Better Faster Stronger (Cosmonaut Grechko Mash-Up)

Apologizing…

…does not always mean that you are wrong and the other person is right.

It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.

This is what happens when you take the RED Epic Series movie cameras and you put the Suicide Kings in front of it. Huge thanks to everyone involved, we had a lot of fun shooting this!

Bingo Players - Cry (just a little) - [purchase]

OMG THIS TRACK IS SOOOO MASSIVE!!!!!!! I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE. Every so often there is a track that is 10/10 which I keep for myself, and then once in a blue moon there are tracks like these which are 11/10’s that just need to be spread out there into the world. Unfortunately I am not going to post a download link for you guys, you’ll have to buy the song. If you have been following me for a long time, then shoot me an email if you guys don’t already know my AIM screen name; I will send you the track.

Cheers yall, let’s get ready for all the crazy ass parties coming up!

Mos definitely an awesome find.

Opening My Mind (to Shuffling, lol.)

Alright shufflers, I’ll give you another chance. I think what I really need to see to appreciate this dance style is a really really ridiculously good shuffler, and maybe what I’ve seen up to now are newbie shufflers. Anyone that I’ve seen attempt to shuffle just looks so…offbeat. Nonrhythmic. Rigid. Is it supposed to be that way? Someone, please point me in the right direction, show me some videos where I can see what is considered “good” shuffling.

I used to think the same way about tectonik. It looked weird, and usually the same moves were just repeated and it was all in the arms. I think in most videos they just stood in place and moved their arms around. I’ve always felt like dance has to involve your whole body. That’s one of the reasons why tectonik didn’t appeal to me and why shuffling didn’t appeal to me. With Shuffling, they just seemed really focused on foot movements, and the movements I’ve seen so far are pretty generic. But literally overnight, my perspective on tectonik changed completely. This happened a bboy jam where my crew had an exhibition battle with another crew from Ensenada. Apparently, Electro music and Electro dance styles are huge Mexico, so prior to the bboy battles they also hosted tectonik battles. I wish I had taken video or something to show you what I saw but i can only describe it.

Contortion/Flexibility + Waacking + Threading + Glowsticking

And all these dancers brought a level of energy to the floor and used their whole body to accentuate the main movements in the arms. This was the first time I stood back and appreciated this form of dance and watch these kids take to another level that I’ve never seen before.

Shuffling, I’m giving you the same chance.

Soulful House Mix (August 2010)

Soulful House Mix by MIKE G.

I always picture myself lounging on a beach somewhere with a bucket full of beers whenever I listen to this mix. Total relaxation.

This is the first house mix that I’ve done and I chose this kind of house music because at the time I was opening up for Get Down OC on thursday nights and it’s the kind of music I was playing and was really familiar with (I still am). I also really like it.

I made this mix because I prefer to listen to songs mixed together. I don’t really like breaks and silences, kills my vibe. I also wanted to be able to share with friends and family what I love to do. Not everyone can make it out and hear me spin. A friend of mine really liked the music I was sharing with her, so this also gave me added incentive to push this out because she wanted a mix.

Download. Listen. Enjoy.

Tracklist:
Kaskade - Samba Love
Colette - Hypnotized (Kaskade Extended Mix)
Lisa Shaw - Let It Ride (Jimpster Main Vocal)
Miguel Migs - So Far
Astrid Suryanto - Rainwater (Solu Music Remix)
Norah Jones and The Peter Malick Group - Strange Transmissions (Bastone & Burnz Remix)
Samantha James - Breathe You In (KJ’s Soulful Mix)
Solu Music featuring Kimblee - Fade
Aya - Sean (Miguel Migs’ Salted Vocal)
Kaskade - 4am
