Dans Dakar 2014, 8-9 August!

Dans Dakar 2013 was a great experience. Me and four friends went out to Stockholm, slept in a small Volvo for two days, laughed, sweated, drink drank drunk and foremost - jammed out (went nuts) to some great artists.

I had tons of great things to say about The Prodigy before I saw them live, but man, their performance was at least in the top three best shows I've seen (heard). Smack My Bitch Up is perhaps not my favorite song of theirs, but it was amazing live since everybody knows it and the whole crowd went wild.

It was a great show from Kill The Noise as well, he really got the crowd going and did some sick stuff that proved DJ'ing definitely isn't dead. It was the second time I saw KOAN Sound, and I think they outdid themselves compared to the first time I catched them, super funky. Biggest disappointment was the very un-involved Justice, who "gracefully" "blessed" the festival-goers with as many as five arm-waves and a few nods.

This year should be sick too. I am very hyped to catch Skrillex for the first time. Skrillex latest release was very fresh and definitely an interesting, great album. Zedd, while not my usual cup of tea is an artist that I think will shine in a live setting, his music is built for an audience.
Glitch Mob I am sure can introduce a very groovy feel, they might very well prove for an interesting interaction with the audience as well!
Although Die Antwoord is a group I've tried and failed to get into, they sure have a big fanbase and are bound to bring lots of die-hard fans to the festival.

All in all, Dans Dakar is for sure worth the cost of a ticket, and should most likely prove to be an exciting experience in 2014 as well. Go there to catch the mentioned artists and MANY more!

Nadastrom (and Skrillex?) - I!!

When I saw Feed Me last year, he played this tune, and it stuck with me. I could not identify it however, and not until I heard it in this new mix from Kennedy Jones, did I hear it again. Thankfully, the tracklist was present! An old tune by now, but fresh to me. Blast this on your summer adventures!

Skrillex - Kyoto (gLAdiator Moombahton Remix)

gLAdiator sure knows how to produce some quality stuff. Will anyone be mad if I say this might be better than the original? Well, you might have to get mad then. If they played this kinda stuff on the radio, I might actually listen to the damn radio.

Check out gLAdiator here or check them out here (free downloads n' stuff if you "Like" that shiz).

Skrillex - Kill Everybody (KOAN Sound RMX)

Skrillex - Kill Everybody (KOAN Sound Remix) by KOAN Sound 


I was going to go to sleep, but then I found this. Holy shit! KOAN Sound never fails to surprise the fuck out of me. This is like, three different remixes of the same song, and none of them sound the same. 
KOAN Sound is one of my absolute favorite supplier of beats. Love, love, the hiphop influenced stuff. Up until 1.10 or so, it's like, dope. Then after that, jaw drop. 
Not sure what to say besides that, this song is incredible.

SebastiAn - Love In Motion (Skrillex RMX)

SebastiAn - Love In Motion (Skrillex Remix) DOWNLOAD LINK by WOLF CULTURE!

Okay, just to get it out of the way, this track isn't officially released yet, so the song might get taken down and such. But seriously I don't care about that crap, I'ma post this 'cus it's great!
SebastiAn makes what you'd probably call "music art", and it's awesome music art at that. The upbeat happy-go-lucky mood of this song goes very well with Skrillex usual style, but it's still a unique new sound from him, I'd say. You still hear the Skrillex-sound though, obviously, you can hear the Skrillex-sound in most things these days

Eitherway, awesome song, think it'll be out by wednesday or so, but I'm not 100% on that so don't take my word for ittttt

Can't promise anything about the posts this coming week, moving to North Ireland on sunday 'n shizzle might get hectic.

Nero - Promises (Skrillex RMX)

Am I retarded for not knowing this was out? I think saying that would be an insult to retarded people. Also, while I'm already being offensive towards minorities, is it gay to think that the intro is beautiful? If so, count me in the gay club 'cus it totally is. Both the original and this remix is great, but this one just has the Skrillex swag to it you know! Always a bit more action on the drums when he's doing stuff, just like in Tomba's tunes. I'm totally a fan of big reverb snares and catchy high-pitched female vocals, so this song was a given feature.

You can pre-order the entire Promises EP by Nero here, featuring the original, Skrillex remix, Calvin Harris remix and another Nero track named New Life! The entire thing drops 7/8/2011!

Seriously, no offense to anyone with that first paragraph.

Skrillex - Reptile Theme (MK '11)

You know, someone said to me after the Tomba post, "don't you like Skrillex?". Of course I like Skrillex, kids! Who doesn't? To be honest though, the first time I heard this track I thought it was kinda decent and perhaps not top 5 in the "Skrillex - Hall of Awesomeness". But it grew on me quick, and now I think it awesome as fuck. Got some nifty classic MK samples in there, along with the Skrillex-esque sound and a more "clubby" feeling. The beat's hard as brick, great shallow snare and deep bass on the kick.

As an MK fan, I love this track, shoulda been in the game!
