Check out this new wave/synthpop retromix sampler of my 80′s and early 90′s discotech DJ days. The music may be old, but the mix is hot off the press!

Very special thanks to Simon Iddol for putting together the cover for my new Retromix series!
Do you use Mixed in Key or edit your tags outside of iTunes? Recent versions of Apple’s flagship media manager iTunes makes rereading tag information quite a chore. The process involves mass selecting the tracks and making a bulk edit of a tag in order to force a reread of all tags. Thankfully (for Mac users), an AppleScript exists to fix this issue. Released back in 2006, it still appears to do the trick quite nicely!
The complete Michael Jackson acapella collection? Looks like it to me! Thanks to Scott for sending this to me.
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.
Axis of Awesome — a comedy sketch band — prove how 4 simple chords can lay the foundation for most pop music.
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.
Pick Up the Phone (DJ Matt Hite Remix) / Dragonette
D Major, 124 bpm
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.
Hey gang — I’m playing at Bootie again this month (Oct. 24) in the Electro-Bootie lounge. Come get crunk with me!
This is what happens when you lay “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing” on top of each other in a DAW. Why reinvent the wheel, right?
