And You Thought They Were Dead

I apologize about the lack of posts lately, I've been hitting the studio hard with my main man Micah, and we've making original tracks and such. They will be here soon for you all. A Reggae/Dubstep blend that we hope is fresh enough to attract enough attention to get us a record deal, or a least some sort of tour.

Also, there is no new radio show this week due to the USA playing Ghana in tournament play in the World Cup. Watching that was more important than broadcasting, sorry guys. Saturday will make up for it I promise.

As for the dead ones, they certainly were silent for a while. Soulwax, and MSTRKRFT were two of the most prolific and in demand producing/performing groups from '06-'08, but in 2009 they disappeared off the map almost entirely. Now I can tell you that they are back with a vengeance. You'd think MSTRKRFT would come back with a huge banger, but they've actually done a Katy Perry remix...I guess something is better than nothing.

Then, Soulwax is back to show us what Electro is all about with a HOT remix of LCD Soundsystem, and a crazy Paul Harris remix (sorry about the shitty quality).

Works Like Clockwork

There is a producer from Los Angeles whose production value is really high. His signature sound is Electro, and he does it well. One interesting little tidbit about this guy is that he's only been in the scene for 2 years. Before that, he was never making music.



He goes by Clockwork, and he's like a prodigy or something. His story reminds me a lot of Last Japan.



Lucky for us, he's decided that even though his production value is so high, he still wants to give away his material for free. This first remix is a peak hour club banger of a remix of Crystal Castles, and I am excited to share it with you all.

Next up we have what is one of the best remixes of Snoop Dogg that I've probably ever heard. The Dogg has teamed up with Kid Cudi, and they've been laying down some pretty sweet little bleeps. Clockwork has decided to give us a totally hot remix, good for both the dancefloor or for when you're driving in your car thinking about how life is alright.

This next one is a bit more on the raw side of Electro, wait for the drop at 0:57.



LexiconDon - Heart Attack (Clockwork Remix) YSI





And last but certainly not least, he does a remix of Felix Cartel that fits into only what you could call 'Progressive Electro.' Although it has a few crazy drops that are more characteristic in Electro, it still has this progressive feel. It reminds me a lot of 'So There I Was' by Deadmau5, although this one is more like it's dark funky cousin.
