0621 - Happy Star Wars Day!

It is what many people are referring to as Star Wars Day, so I figured what better way to celebrate then with a Darth Vader remix.  A bigroom remix of Darth Vader's theme music from Bangerific, and as much as I am usually not a fan of bigroom, I really enjoyed this one.  Maybe it is because I love the audio so much and it resonates with my childhood.  Give it a listen and happy Star Wars Day!

0289 - No More Waiting, Its Friday!

Two things for you this funkiest of Fridays. 

First up is a pretty sweet mini mix, now when I say mini I mean mini (16min), but don't let that deter your.  The mix is totally solid, filled with great funk tracks.  Stereocool really brings all of these tracks together in a way that I only wish I could one day.  Give it a listen!

Second up is a really interesting track.  My brain tells me it is big room but a bit of me tells me that it is Funk and honestly, the clash makes the track very intriguing.  It has the feels of both, a build up to a minimal drop, but that drop seems so bouncy that I would classify it as something else.  I am very intrigued to hear more from this guy to see what direction he goes musically!  Go ahead and press play and give me your opinion on this one!

063 - Banger Don't Quit

I did have a rant planned for today, but I am going to save it for a more applicable song, but today I will talk about Big Room (and thank you Adin for mentioning it).

Roughly once a week I like to go to Beatport and listen to the top few songs on the charts.  Over the summer I was sitting with my good friend (DJ XMFD) in his house doing just this.  When we found the top tracks we were blown away.  Don't get me wrong, the majority of the tracks were pretty good.  Nice build up, somewhat decent progression, but then the drop came.  GOOD LORD.  Words can not describe my surprise to hear such a simplistic and lazy drop.  My first though was, "this has to be a joke".  There are different ways of mixing and performing for an audience based on the venue and the amount of people present and I was familiar with the genre of Big Room, but still, I looked at my friend like "what is this shit".  We continued through the top 10 to find that at least 6 of the songs were Big Room.  As we continued talking about it, we presented the idea that if you just replaced the drop with the drop from another song, then the entire track would be fixed.  Sitting in a room with one other person and a speaker set, I was talking the truth.  I did not even consider that this would be much better at a large venue with thousands of people surrounding me.

Since then I have a bit more respect for Big Room, because I have found a few songs that are good on the more individual level (such as "Epic").  However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and though I don't like to mix or listen to these songs now, I am guessing it is because my mind and performance experience (what little I have) is not fitting of this style.  That doesn't at all mean that I condemn the entire genre, I have hope for it as I do with all electronic music.

I love being surprised by a song, hearing the first few seconds of it with my finger on the "skip" button, and then pulling my hand away with my jaw dropped at how dumb I was for almost missing such an incredible song.  Drum and Bass really got me started into electro (Pendulum was the first group I knew by name), and this song reminds me of my beginnings so much that I honestly got a little nostalgic.  Nice build and quite a surprising turn around after the introduction to the song, this is quickly becoming one my favorite songs, and one of my favorites to drive to.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

003 An Epic Humpday

Listeners, Sorry these posts are coming so late in the day. I plan to have everything up by 10am from here on out! My original idea was to post a remix of a song that has been stuck in head for weeks, but I havent found the perfect one yet! Instead here is an awesome song that demonstrates all the best ways to do "big room" which is the new hot genre (be careful though, a lot of top stuff is horrible). Enjoy! Epic- Sandro Silva & Quintino
