Eskmo Colorbrain Mix & New Eskamon Collab
By Zola at April 6, 2010 | 4:28 pm | 6 Comments
This mix is a prime example of Eskmo's musical prowess. It blurs the boundaries of the artists' split-performing personalities. Perfectly crisp sounds- like socket wrenches over haunting basslines- keep the wobble flowing. He uses a heavy amount of orginal material, all the while bringing in signature edits of tracks from Sound Tribe Sector 9, Voodeux, and more...

Jokers Of The Scene
By Zola at March 26, 2010 | 10:14 pm | 0 Comment
"Jokers Of The Scene take the best and most mind-meltingly intense parts of dance music through history-the ecstatic buildups of big room Euro house music, the hyper-distorted basslines of electro rock, and the lighthearted samples of 1990s rave-and throw them all in a blender at 130 BPM. It's loud, it's fun, and it's lighting up dancefloors worldwide." - more...

Claude VonStroke: Singles, Live Mixes, Remixes & More
By Zola at March 15, 2010 | 8:37 pm | 4 Comments
Barclay Crenshaw, aka Claude VonStroke, has quickly made a name for himself atop the DJ/Producer world. The pseudonym originally came about as a gag with friends while making up imaginary names for European DJs. However, the Detroit suburb-raised producer honed his sound and skills in San Francisco (on Haight St. no less), and soon found himself booked at parties and more...

16-Bit – The Milky Pie Mix
By Zola at January 1, 2010 | 10:35 pm | 5 Comments
16-Bit cooks up an aural cosmos supported by a heaping serving of pop edits/vocals. All the while throwing in ingredients made of growling synth-lines and managing to keep a heavyweight stream of fat dubs and glitch riddims. Be on the lookout for these guys, as they've been played out by other rave scene DJ's like Rusko and anyone else in the know. This top UK crew more...
Portishead’s Machine Gun Shoots High
By Zola at December 28, 2009 | 12:00 am | 3 Comments
Trip Hop alumni Portishead published this track as the first single off the 2008 long awaited release 'Third' which ended a decade long hiatus from studio albums. This is a daily listened track for me, which penetrates to the core with a hypnotic beat thats the simplest of drum machine rhythms. For long time fans of Portishead, this is a remarkably different sound, more...

Shuttle – The Vostok 1 Mixtape
By Drift Dodgers at December 13, 2009 | 12:30 am | 9 Comments
Shuttle, formerly known as Etan, is Nate Donmoyer, drummer of electro-pop outfit Passion Pit. Though his producing and DJing has taken a backseat to recording and touring with his band, he has managed to make some great tracks, remixes and mixes. This is my favorite, shown to me by Zola when we met in 2008. It's an eclectic banger and a great example of Electro, more...
Downtempo Dub-Step from Kryptic Minds
By Zola at December 7, 2009 | 6:23 pm | 0 Comment
The explosion of Drum 'n Bass in the U.S. is relatively new, and brings along with it a plethora of tear-out wobble 'n whomp DJs. However, there are a few willing to break it up with some deeper, more calculated and hypnotic tunes. Branded as dark half step, Kryptic Minds' new album on UK label Swamp81 trashes the barriers and proves that dance music can be played more...
