This weeks Fire Friday Mix is actually a Brostep mix. As much as I don’t feel Brostep at all, I feel like it’s necessary to add some to the blog considering lots of traffic to the site comes from Dubstep queries. Chrispy has become one of the better known UK Brostep producers with heavy grime and filthy remixes. I feel that Chrispy deserves more attention as I rarely hear any of his tunes played out and does have some banging tunes that should be played out.

This mix isn’t comprised of all originals but he chooses tracks wisely and mixes so well together. Expect to hear tunes from the biggest names in this mix which include Nero, Bar9, Datsik, Excision, Caspa, & Subscape.

I will say this brostep mix has been great to raise my heart rate to get some work done early in the morning. Hope you enjoy. Just remember keep everything in moderation… Especially Brostep!

Tracklist:
Chrispy & Krypton – Doomsday
Torqux & Twist – Devils Tricks
Ivory – Hand Grenade (Datsik & Excision Remix)

This week we are graced to have a new Fire Friday Mix! Ana Sia was in one of the Glitch.fm djs studio for a show! This past Sunday the Salvage Future show hosted by Thirsty and Bertzerker brought in the lovely Ana Sia and she totally rocked it!

Ana Sia has recently put out a new EP, International Profile,  on the infamous Muti Label. She has been working closely with the one and only phat conductor, ill gates! The first track caught my ear. Be sure to pick up the release!

Got to give tons of respect to Ana Sia for all she does. It can be tough in an industry where it’s mainly all male driven. I’ve personally met her but have only heard good things. She apparently had encouraged Epcot to come hang out during WMC when he recorded a show with us. Big thanks to her on that one considering Epcot had a lot of knowledge to drop on me about promoting and doing events.

Grab the free mix! Ana Sia Live Mix on Glitch.fm!

We all have heard and made our own feelings about Drink the Sea, The Glitch Mobs first debut full length album. Now after rinsing it out on vinyl the Mixtape is finally out! Мишка is who officially has released this Drink the Sea part 2! This mixtape is ultimately a hip-hop/pop mash up of the Drink the Sea album. Well known hip-hop/rap/pop artist featured in the mix include Nas, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, MIA, Dr. Dre, Daft Punk, Birdman, Drake, and La Roux.

This is the sound we’ve all come to love and recognize The Glitch Mob as one of the defining Glitch Hop artist out there. I don’t think anyone can complain about this one. Boreta, edIT, and Ooah are clearly on top of the game and no one can deny it. This possibly could become bigger than Drink the Sea.

I’m now beyond excited to be catching them LIVE August 30th here in Fort Lauderdale! I’m hoping they incorporate some of these mash ups into their live show. I personally love the energy that has been recreated with these tunes. Who knows maybe a special live performance with some of the featured mash up artist doing some of these tracks live would be INSANE.

Something tells me there might be some trouble getting this release so I’ve decided to host a copy on my server =)

I’m back! Recently celebrated my 25th birthday in Vegas! I got to play at Defcon 18 and rage! The blog was upgraded to WordPress 3 and has big issues in the process. It’s not that there wasn’t news or new post for past two weeks, it’s that the site was broken. Just for the record if you use 1and1 and upgrade to 3.0 you need to increase the memory allocated to 20mb or else it crashes with 500 error.

Now that it’s back the redesign will be possible. I’m doing a mini tour over summer but hope to get it all sorted out to a new look.

Tonight I open up for Lazer Sword in Miami for monthly event, Get Low!

I’m looking for gigs in October! email me to arrange something!
Just recently recorded a summer promo mix!

Expect some new post and info to start back up on regular basis as before! Much love to all the fans and readers!

Chris B recently has blown my mind. He is part of the Big 3 Ive created in my mind: Sugarpill, Stephan Jacobs, and Chris B. These guys are the biggest dudes in the West Coast coming up. They’ve all worked closely together and are on their way up to the top. Chris B is totally rocking out and putting out sexy sexy tunes. I have the honor of actually opening up for him while I’m in Vegas for Defcon 18.

You absolutely have to check out this mans tracks. The first time I heard Redshift I immediately turned the volume up as loud as possible on my headphones. This tune is absolutely breathe taking. His other tracks with Stephan and Sugarpill are nothing short of stunning either. Make sure you remember the name Chris B because out of all the talent in the left coast his sound is pure.

Kraddy put out a new mix out and man it’s banging. Hand selected banging tunes put together for a nice journey through bass. Kraddy has some serious momentum going on. His upcoming mash up album is highly anticipated coming out of the Alpha Pup label and his recent track Bomb Anthem is blowing up dance floors. Keep your eye out on him because he’s about to slay the world.

Psymbionic is John Burcham. The man is doing it big in Texas and making his way on the national circuit. He’s definitely on his game right now. He recently rocked out Wakarusa & Sonic Bloom this year. John’s constantly hard at work banging out tunes, running a blog, playing out, and staying on top of the music. This guy has some serious love for this and truly welcoming dude. There is a possibility that I might be moving to Austin and he’s been nothing but helpful and making me feel like this giant move will go smoothly if I end up out there. The best part of doing all this is meeting and connecting with up and coming producers but also getting to know some good people in the process.

Kat1lyst & Pressha are back at it again! The Partners in Grime series lives on with it’s 3rd addition. Homies from Seattle bring the heat and know their tunes. Bass Drop is doing big things let me tell you. I can’t wait till Decibel Festival to kick it with everyone on the left coast.

This is probably one of the best mixes to come out in a couple months. Yeah I mean it. There so many dubs on here that are so fire that it’s insane. Every time one of these mixes gets put out I’m like DAMNN track selection is so dope. It maked me want to go record a mix after hearing it.
