Fireflies Dubstep

While I've always (admittedly and emburrassingly) been a huge fan of Owl City's Fireflies for its flawless production and The Postal Service-reminiscent vocals, Etubbs and Trillbass's dubstep remix is, to quote my girl Kirb, "...the best thing to happen to this song."


Enjoy.







And feel free to download here.

Dubtastic Saturday: Boom 'N Pow

Pressed for time, but it is #DubtasticSaturday.

Enjoy Boom 'N Pow by Akira Kiteshi.  It may not be new, but it's dope as hell.  Get wobbly.  Peace out cyberspace, I'ma get my tan on.

Fuck wit da Pu-Tang Clan

12 long hours of rain, Jersey traffic jams/general stank, and plenty of dope tuneage later, I have arrived in the great state of VA.  Before I head to the beach to partake in various forms of debauchery, including but not limited to the infamous beer dragon and undoubtedly an appearance by my party alter-ego Shaniqua, check these dudes out.

The Pu-Tang Clan, a rap group of some nasty-ass boys with the dirtiest rhymes to hit the waves in years was "formed to combat the evils of the post-good rap era," and they do so with hilarity, crassness, and surprisingly solid production.  Warning: not for those who don't appreciate free use of sexual slang and graphic imagery.

You can download everything on their site. 

The beer dragon.  Bask in the glory.

SOTD: Awesome (feat. The Cool Kids)-The Bloody Beetroots

Thanks to Ben for this gem.  Awesome is...well, awesome.  And the simple fact that The Bloody Beetroots were at WMC 2010/Ultra in Miami this year makes listening to this jam so much sweeter, even if we were all too busy rolling around the super ravey tents to see them.

Ellie Goulding is my newest girl crush.

No homo, but the girl can do no wrong and remixes like a dream.  Here are some of my favorites, originals and otherwise.  Likely more to come.

Starry Eyed

^^ The production on this version is by far my favorite, vs. the way it's done with the official release and video.

Starry Eyed (Monsieur Adi Remix)

Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix)

Under The Sheets

Under The Sheets (Friends Electric Mix)

Under The Sheets (Jeuce Rework)

Under The Sheets (Jakwob Remix)

Black & Gold (cover)

In short, everyone and their creepy above-garage tenant they found on craigslist has remixed Ellie Goulding.  Fortunately, some have achieved pure greatness, even if the only other thing they happened to do that day was talk shit to 6th graders with a voice changer on Xbox Live.

"...And everybody glows..." -Ellie Goulding, "Starry Eyed"

Class of 2012...senior spring?

This just in!  Productivity in the Mezz hits an all-time high.

Dublife

Dubbies wobble but they won't fall down.

Since I didn't get a chance to post on #DubtasticSaturday, here's some womp for your comp.

Deadmau5-Dub5tep (Beau Damion Edit)

Yeah, you read it right...the man, the mau5, the legend is now dabbling in the art of the dub.  I got to hear some live at this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami and almost spontaneously combusted with joy.

La Roux-Bulletproof (Foamo Dubstep Remix)

Dub & Run-Shove It

16 Bit-Toxic

Basement Jaxx-Raindrops (Doorlys Dubstep Remix)

Deadmau5-Ghosts 'N Stuff (Nero Remix)

"I'm beginning to think that everything would be better if I had just died during Deadmau5." -Shane Kelley, post-Deadmau5 performance at Ultra 2010
