This has been over on my Music page for a bit, but I failed to actually mention it in a blog post. If you like electro with an 80′s tilt, you’re love this Culture Whores promo mix.
Another night of Electro-Bootie madness featuring yours truly on Saturday, April 10th, 2010. Great DJ lineup with myself, Earworm, Tripp, and Mykill — what’s there not to love? Come out and dance!
Check out this all-in-one MP3 store search tool and comparison chart — great for finding that elusive track! Also provides a nice overview of the competitive landscape. I love how it shows the highest bitrate available along with the geographic regions serviced.
I love the new Dragonette album. I’ve had it on repeat the past few days — my favorite track off the album has to be “Pick Up the Phone” with “Easy” being a close second.
I really needed a better mix of “Pick Up the Phone” to play at the clubs, however. Here’s my best attempt at one, fully unsanctioned and bootleg because that’s how I roll.
If you like it, spread the word. Tweets (I’m @matthite on Twitter) and comments appreciated! Also, if you have a Hype Machine account, I would certainly appreciate you ‘hearting’ the track — here’s the direct Hype Machine link.
“Pump Up the Volume: The History of House Music” is a film that “follows the evolution of house music from its birth in Chicago to the myriad of diverse music it has since spawned.” It’s absolutely fantastic and ironically impossible to purchase a legitimate copy from what I can tell! It was originally broadcast on BBC Channel 4 and has not made it to DVD for a proper release, unfortunately.
Thanks to the wonders of technology, a very kind soul has made it available for viewing on YouTube. Check out the videos after the jump.
