Big up to JmeJ for this mix. He’s definitely someone to watch with all these banging beats being dropped by him. He is doing some fresh things in the Glitch Hop genre. Happy to make this the first Fire Friday Mix. Check in next week for another great mix to enjoy over the week-end and hold you during the week when need something fresh!
This is a great mix all around with some stellar track selection. Serious bangers on this one. Big up to Sickfile & Seism on this one. Will definitely go in my rotation of mixes. You can check out some of their other mixes at their soundcloud, beaverhuntz.
The past two month or so I’ve sort of moved on a bit from Dubstep. Don’t get me wrong I love the music but I wanted something new and fresh. It almost seems like the dubstep bug is fading in me. I’ve always known about Glitch but never really followed it more than the typical artist like The Glitch Mob. After digging a bit deeper into Glitch and what it has to offer I fell in love with the Glitch Hop sound. It’s exotic yet so familiar.
After finding out all the latest and biggest stars in Glitch Hop I wanted more. I found Glitch FM recently and haven’t looked back. This community of people running Glitch FM is the real deal. They have been extremely friendly and open. Recently have been trying to get invovled and push this further. It’s hard when the Glitch Hop movement is predominately in the East Coast but I hope to change that with time. I’ve recently talked to many people active in the Glitch FM community. I’ve had small discussions with two of the DJs that have a weekly on the show, Sugarpill & .Spec.
The first night I ended up tuning into Glitch FM it so happened to be right during a live radio show done by Sugarpill. The mix was heavy and just piled high with exclusives and unreleased tracks. I’ll never forget that set and specific tracks in the set. Later found out during the set that Sugarpill use to live in FL but recently relocated to CA. Mentioned was in Miami and BAMMM one of Otto’s tracks comes on. Great to hear a FL DJ represent! Looking forward to tuning into his next set on Thursday night. Here is a mix I’ve uploaded… If you haven’t heard much Glitch Hop this is a great introduction. This mix is a big inspiration for me and what I want to do. Don’t sleep on this mix because its BIGGG! Check out Sugarpill online.
Another DJ I met was .Spec online. I didn’t get to catch his set live but did chat with him for a bit. He even gave me some DJ tips and real cool guy. He’s over there in Seattle for Decibel Festival. Talked about some of the different styles of mixing and DJs out there. Overall real good insight into somethings. I checked out some of his mixes online that he provided me with. Even jamming to one of them as I type this up. Definitely digging his style and no crazy bass just solid tracks blended perfectly together. You can catch his show on Saturday nights. You can also pick up some of his mixes on his site .Spec907
I’ve recently discussed starting a night of just glitch here in Miami. It’s a bit of a long shot but would love to be part of something new here in Miami. This is such a large metropolitan city and if I’m in it right now, there is no reason to start something that would invovled with music. I’m a huge believer that this style of music could be extremely welcomed here and no reason to be West Coast exclusive. For now I’ll just keep practicing and hope to improve my skills to maybe even spin some of this music so people can hear it out. Got to bring something different to the table as a DJ so you are remembered as a good friend put it…
I’m a real visual person and apparently so is Nosaj Thing.
This is a little video tour of some of the work this soon to be legend has done…
This is what happens when you add unbelievable visuals to one of the sickest DJs around.
This is just a test run.. He’ll start taking this idea with him and implementing it in his live shows.
This is what happens when you add a sick designer, cool shoes, & Nosaj Thing work on music
This is how it should ALWAYS be done… Vinyl baby!
This is what this guy does when he throws down live… Always sick to see a live act.
Another live performance…
Official video for one of this more popular tracks Aquarium…
Save the best for last…. THIS IS JAW DROPPING… Some of the biggest names just tearing it UP.
What a nice setup… one day… one day…
Now here’s a Download for YOU!
He just released this new track for an upcoming compilation being released… Nosaj Thing – FWD
Right now if anyone was to ask me what my favorite artist are it would be easy…
1) Ooah
2) The Glitch Mob & PaNTyRAiD
3) Heyoka
Therefore I feel like it would be silly to have this blog and not mention or show off these guys talent.
This is live video taken from Symbiosis festival that just happened last week.
Videos like these make me want to book a flight to LA or SF and just not come back.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. Live remixes of some of my favorite tracks by the two.
Now for another special treat… Heyoka!
This man has done no wrong.
His music has such groove and vibe that you can’t help but jam to this mix.
It’s short but ohhh soo sweet. Won’t lie that I heard it twice back to back when I first got this mix.
Go check out all his releases… They are BIG!

This is one of the big remixes Joker has done in the recent months. Although it’s been rinsed out over and over it finally gets a free digital release. This is my personal favorite and hope it gets a vinyl release. Be sure to check it out and download!
Remember this business cause it’s going to blow up all over your face soon!!!

Here are some mixes I’ve uploaded this week to help promote the DJs in Miami this week. I like to call this week WMC 2009 Part 2. The big boys are in town to bring the deep vibes to Miami again. Hope you enjoy these mixes as much as I have been.
This man is no stranger to the Miami electronic scene. In the early days he went under the alias Burn as a Drum & Bass DJ. He has taken this town by storm and put Miami on the map as one of the premier Dubstep cities in the States. Here is a clip of Mr.Basshead’s guest appearence on University of Miami’s radio station.
You could easily have a strong arguement that Skream & Benga are the biggest names in Dubstep. These Croydon boys have taken Dubstep from it’s primal stage to it’s current state. They’ve been making beats since the early 2000′s. Skream recently celebrated his birthday and this is what came from it. An epic mix from the birthday boy himself and his right hand man.
This man has made such an impact on dubstep that his label and group DMZ stand on it’s own level. Mala brings his own take to the music we call dubstep. A true pioneer in music. This mix is quite outdated but a favorite of mine due to what this man has to say about the culture. Call it an interview mix.
