[OFFICIAL VIDEOS] Swedish House Mafia "Antidote" & Dada Life "Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker"

These are two very different videos, but they are both quite awesome.  Swedish House Mafia and Knife Party's video for "Antidote" is about a heist and is shot in first person, from the viewpoint of one of the robbers.  It's a really well directed music video.  Dada Life's music video for "Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker" has new vocals on it and is a cool video, it has cameos from Porter Robinson, Skrillex, Dillon Francis, Laidback Luke, Chuckie, Tiesto and Kaskade.  Do yourself a favor and check these videos out.

Emancipator - Elephant Survival

I rarely listen to a track twice in a row, but if I do I know it's a real jam.  That was the case with this new track from Emancipator.  He's such a good producer, has great beats and really defines "instrumental" hip hop.  This track's a real gem, he uses flawless incorporation of guitar (and banjo), pan flute and violin in this track.  Emancipator has two albums out that have so many rotations that I've lost count.  I'm back in Charlotte now for the holidays, watched football all day long and couldn't be more happy.  Enjoy.

Four of my absolute favorite tracks from the last year.  I found myself listening to these while working on finals this week.  It had been a minute since I've played any of them, and they most definitely deserve the appreciation.

Dada Life - Queen Club: Paris, France Dec. 10 2011



My fault for not posting in so long, I was in Paris for 3 days, then have been incredibly busy since with final papers I've been putting off.  Anyways, Paris was the shit.  We saw Madeon at Social Club on Thursday with Russ Chimes, it was incredible.  The highlight of the trip was on Saturday we saw Dada Life at Queen Club, which was absolutely nuts. The first hour of the set was broadcast online, so I've included the video footage above and the first hour of the set with the setlist.

Big Bad Wolf (Lost Boys Remix) - Duck Sauce

Bristol must have something in it's water, because it seems to me like that town consistently pumps out the best bass music producers in the UK.  The Lost Boys are two producers out of Bristol who just got at me with their remix of Duck Sauce's 'The Big Bad Wolf.'  Give these guys credit, it's a seriously dope remix, better than most of the remixes I've heard of this track, which is a lot.  According to the Lost Boys themselves, this tune's got moombahton vibes at about 110 bpm, but do not fear, it still brings the heavy bass that we all love. Click here to check them out on Soundcloud.  Don't sleep on this track!

HUGE New Releases [Dada Life + Tim Berg + Sub Focus + Marcus Schossow + Bingo Players + Ton!c]

Alright, our good friends at The Hive have already put these first three up, so big ups to them and if you want to read up on the tracks, head over here.  I think Bingo Player's 'Mode' is a better track than the hit 'Rattle,' and 'Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker' is so hype it's ridiculous--I can't wait to see Dada Life this Saturday in Paris.

Download:  Mode (Original Mix) - Bingo Players
Download:  Las Vegas (Original Mix) - Marcus Schossow

Here's four other new releases I'm really feeling from Tim Berg (Avicii), Sub Focus, Ton!c, and Bingo Players.  Even more fantastic releases in this bunch, enjoy.

Artist Spotlight: Mat Zo

Saw Jack Beats and 12th Planet at Fabric on Friday and got to talk to 12th Planet for a few seconds after his set, so I'd say it was a successful night.  My bad though, I honestly meant to do this post like 2 or 3 days ago, but I've been really busy.  Anyway, Mat Zo has been spitting flames lately with his recent tracks off of Anjunabeats Volume 9.  I've got three new songs of his and I'm throwing in another three great new tracks off the release.  I'm also including Mat Zo and Above & Beyond's sets from Trance Around The World 400 in Beirut with free downloads.  Enjoy.

BoomBox 'Me & My Baby' Free Download & Live Video + Winter Tour Announced

 
BoomBox is a really excellent electronic jam band out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  If you have never heard of them, think somewhere in the neighborhood of Lotus or Papadosio.  These guys blew up fast with their really amazing live show, which I look forward to seeing February in Dallas.  For those who don't know, BoomBox member Zion Godchaux's parents were Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, who both played with Grateful Dead.  BoomBox have just announced their "Souvenirs, Novelties and Party Tricks Tour,' with notable stops in Charlotte on 1/28 at Neighborhood Theatre and in Dallas on 2/16 at Trees (see whole schedule here.)  With this announcement they released a live video and free download of the unreleased track 'Me & My Baby' which grooves extremely nicely.  You can click here or below to get to BoomBox's bandcamp, where you can grab the track. Enjoy.

Caspa - Fulham 2 Waterloo + Emalkay & Roska Remixes

What's up what's up.. Here's a massive tune from Caspa and very impressive remixes of it from Emalkay and Roska.  The drums in this track are what get me... the guitar in the Emalkay remix is really nice too.  Until today this track was under the 'downloaded but never listened to' category.  I really like the video for Fulham 2 Waterloo, so check that out too.  Couldn't ignore this tune, I'm living in Waterloo after all. Enjoy.
