Angel Alanis

When I first got into electronic music it was through the Chicago rave scene in the mid 90's. One name that I remember from countless parties was Angel Alanis. With over 100 releases to his name on many of the legendary labels in house music including Under Construction, Dust Traxx, Jasper Stone Trax, International House Records and Catalyst Recording just to name a few. Mr. Alanis offered up this gem today on his facebook page. It really takes me back to the time when I was partying in Chicago at Route 66 and countless warehouses.

Alice in Discoland Part 2

Tomorrow night its going down with all the usual suspects. Boogie like its 1979.

American French Machine

I cann't really find alot out about this other than its from American French Machine aka Samy Deep and Pascal Black. Released in 2001 this amazing disco/french house.



American French Machine -- American French Machine

Kamei

At 15 I was doing everything you would have expected someone that age to be doing. But one thing for sure is that I NEVER was producing dance floor smashing tracks that sound like they are from someone twice my age. Then again I'm not 15 year old Brazilian wonder kid Kamei. I wish there was a radio station that played great music like this track. Pure disco house bliss, there's even a little funky break or two mixed in with a splash of Mario Brothers. Haha. The future looks bright with this kid making music!



Kamei -- Radio Station

In the Mix: Kimbo

Kimbo is a east coast transplant to San Diego who is positioning himself to take over the west coast with a fury. As part of Them O's he holds down a monthly gig in the East Village's new hot spot Bar Nintey. Here he gives us a flawless mix of nu disco and a few old classics.

Kimbo -- Ride The Rhythm Mixtape direct link

Harvard Bass Remix

Those of you who check out my blog should remember Harvard Bass. This time around he does an excellent remix for Drop the Lime. This track has everything I love about house music. An infectious bassline, tons and tons of bounce and vocals like no other. This will be in heavy rotation by some very big djs for the rest of the year I'm sure. Enjoy.



Drop the Lime -- Set Me Free (Harvard Bass remix)

R.I.V.E.R.

Nothing like some french house on a beautiful sunday afternoon. R.I.V.E.R. has been getting alot of love on his new track Fairycide and after listening to it is very easy to see why. Bouncy house goodness. Enjoy!!!



R.I.V.E.R. -- Fairycide

Keenhouse

Keenhouse is an up and coming producer from LA that will be playing here in SD very soon I hope. His new track Ari-es is a very nice nu disco track that you will find yourself nodding your head along to within seconds.



Keenhouse -- Ari-es

Detroit Stand UP!!!

Just a heads up for those of you in the Motor City. Obitykenobi brings his jedi techno tricks to the stage to play with some of the games biggest names. Got mad love seeing fam from The Castle days doing things soo big now!!

The Popular People's Front

With the huge event Alice in Discoland coming up I thought I would share with you guys a few tracks to get you in the mood for the event. And since today is sunday and all I thought I would start with this track. Church Love is an amazing NEW track that sounds like its straight out of 1983. The Popular People's Front has been taking the UK by storm and its very easy to see why. Solid grooves that you cann't help but dance too. I honestly love this kind of music. Great bass lines and upbeat vocals make this track a real groovey thing to behold. So sit back and get some church in your life today. If you ever come across any of their vinyl only releases be sure and scoop them up.

BBQ and Foot Massge

Bingo Players

No I'm not talking about little old ladies who go and play bingo at church. Im talking about the hard hitting duo out of the the Netherlands. The Bingo Players are one of Europes fastest rising production teams and after listening to a few of their tracks its easy to see why. Amazing original productions along side remixes like this one of N.E.R.D. keep dance floors packed around the globe. Hopefully one day soon we will be seeing them on American soil. Till then enjoy this track!



N.E.R.D. -- Lapdance (Bingo Players remix)

Andrew Decade

Andrew Decade is upcoming dj/producer here in San Diego. After helping me out with a flyer he sent me over his latest remix for one of SD's super hipster bands. (I dont feel the band is even worth mentioning by name, I think they as a band are just as over hyped as they are as djs.) But back to the production work here which I truly like. I especially like the track from about the two minute point on. The thought of a instrumental version floating around feels like a dream though. Make sure to check out his monthly event Electric Feel, the last friday of the month at Lucky D's in the East Village.

Shark Attack -- Shooting Judas (Andrew Decade remix)

WHATS UP?WHATS UP?

Party Rocker wildman PR$MNY returns to Whats Up? Whats Up? tomorrow night at the Office bar in North Park. Check him out on Grape Apes Radio #2.Rock Rock on.

More FIGURE!

So there is a new breed of producer out there, one that seems to never sleep and is constantly evolving and tweaking their art into amazing tracks. Figure has shot me over more tracks and has decided to take on disco house and does so brilliantly. He has a new project called Le Principle and its going to be huge!! Watch out! Below is a video for You Cann't Fake It, I wish I could give you the track but I've been asked to keep everything under tight wraps for the time being. Instead here's a new track he has done with Sleepy T.





Figure and Sleepy T -- It's Only Love

Saul Q Mixtape

As one of the few djs in San Diego that I actually respect as a dj, Saul Q comes through with a nice end of summer mix. Be sure to check out Saul or his group SQZMYLMNS next time you see their name on a flyer.


Saul Q -- Summer Aint Over Mix zshare

Hitler Banana Video

Pure genius. Only a group like Mervin could come up with something as off the wall as this. And remember they are they money behind Olympic rider Danny Kass.


ps. sorry for the lack of posts and music, my internet has been horrible at best, but all that will hopefully change soon.

M.Dot Womens Fall 09

M.Dot has dropped their Fall 2009 Womens line. A great collection by M. Aquino features floral vests, rompers and great detailed dresses. It is available starting today at Hunt and Gather in University Heights. M.Dot is also hosting Party in the Ghetto on Friday so come out and meet the designer and custom order some new clothes for fall. You can check out more pictures from the photo shoot on the myspace.

Its Snowing in Colorado

This was ALWAYS a big deal when I lived in Breck. Copper Mountain has gotten its first snowfall of the season and that means its getting ready to be time to fire up the snow guns and get that base down for another season. With this being an Olympic year early season half pipes will be full of Gold medal hopefuls.

RIP Roc Raida

I know I am a few days late on this, but my internet is almost non existent at the moment. Roc Raida of the world famous X-ecutioners passed away on saturday from injuries he suffered earlier in a car accident. Yet another legend passing way before his time.

Whats Up Whats Up

I will be playing some down south crunk and party hip hop tomorrow night alongside Pres$Money and Dj Groundfloor at the Office bar in North Park. Keep it thorough.

Lots and Lots of Pictures

which just a crazy flip on this video....

Hey Joe

Loving the Hendrix sample in this.

Summer in the City

With today being the last official day of summer and with a new italo/disco/funk night on the horizon, it seems like a perfect time for this song. In all of its 8 minute glory, Peter Visti reworks the classic from The Lovin' Spoonful. A great song for today, click play and relax.

The Shift

People we need to pay attention. The world is speaking, we must make a shift in our thinking as a collective whole.

Mini K

BASS BASS BASS!!! Mini K is a 19 year old producer from South Africa. This kid has the right idea, original work as opposed to remixing someone elses track to get his foot in the door. Listen and you will know what I mean.



Mini K -- Pump Up The Volume



Mini K -- Miss June



Mini K -- True Friends

Porn Kings

The Porn Kings were a duo out of England that released this track in 1996. It gained alot of success through Europe and the States. Pure jacking house with a great sample and driving bass lines. Rave on!



The Porn Kings -- Up To No Good (DT remix)

Don Armando

This absolute disco classic comes from Don Armando's Second Avenue Rhumba Band in 1979. This was the b side of the only record actually released by this group. As a spin off of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savanah Band, with Fonda Rae on the vocals this track is nothing short of disco boogie goodness.



Don Armando's Second Avenue Rhumba Band -- Deputy of Love

Tron Legacy

Just got to see this over the weekend. Released at Comic Con here in San Diego. Looks like the special effects are amazing and add to that the fact that Daft Punk did the soundtrack and you are looking at an amazing movie.

Metal Bikes

Now theres really no way you could spend any amount of time at the Louisville skatepark and not get to know about Metal Bikes. Although Im not really feeling the outfits most of the guys are rocking, I will say that they absolutely MURDER it. Its also really nice to see fellow Paoli kid Chris Wilson have a strong showing, I watched this kid grow up killing it on a snowboard and skateboard then within a year of starting to ride bmx he was sponsored.

Dot Design Studios' blog, which is the blog for our store in progress of the same name.
