• Lemon & Einar K - Hope (Chillout Mix)

Soothes the day out. Moves you to sit still for five minutes.

Mix CD Life: Dub-Dub-Dub, Duuuubstep.

Long descriptions? Not for dubstep. Take this 320 kbps mix. It wobbles, shakes, and explodes. For an hour long. What else is there? Outside life? ..what’s that?

Datsik, Feed Me, Akira Kiteshi, Zomboy, Kode9, James Blake = highlights. This mix starts off silly, throws some Dragonette vocals in, and stays heavy for a long time. But I might catch you laughing when you hear the pinball sound effects from Akira Kiteshi or the dubstep version of Gerudo Valley from Zelda. Pendulum, usually d&b or whatever the hell they decide to be, throws in a few reggae influences, and Mt Eden quiets it down for our outro of Kode9 and James Blake - basically telling the rest of the mix to quiet the fuck down. Enjoy!

Mix CD Life: Relax a Little

Long story short, I haven’t had internet at my house for three weeks. What is my life?

But since I have no intention of living like a wireless hermit, crippled by lack of Tumblr, I’ve been bubbling away with slightly less than new music that’s been sifting its way throughout my laptop. Semi-zen? Semi-passionate? You tell me.

Agnes Obel walks in with a soft, siren’s lull; Bandini’s Ecstasy of Gold remix gives us a little more hope; Ooah’s remix of Emancipator’s First Snow offers up a first taste of strength (along with more than a few voice samples); Junior Boys chime in with a little dose of sexy (not everything relaxing has to be tame); and RAC’s Washed Out Remix patiently leads us up to an incredibly far-reaching outro: Royksopp’s version of In This Shirt - pure emotion held within the body of a 10+ minute track. Is it too soon to call it love?

Call it Heartbeats. Think about what that means to you. Feel something. Why are there still words here? Just listen.

  • Foster the People - Houdini (RAC Mix)

The Presets = fucking amazing. Anything produced or remixed or made by them = golden. Highly recommended. I don’t even care that this is Sam Sparro.

  • Sam Sparro - Pocket (The Presets Radio mix)

Appleblim. 1.5 hours of music. Download available.

Seriously. 1.5 hours of music. Mega mp3. Moody and atmospheric. Lovable.

Appleblim is playing in Pittsburgh on the 9th via VIA. Look it up if you’re in the area. Obsess over.

Seriously. Download this.

Clock Opera doing a mix with some of Hype Machine’s top tracks of 2010. So amazing.

My favorite parts:

  • The entire beginning? 3-3:30 to ~8:15 specifically.
  • When you hear the lyrics of LCD Soundsystem’s Drunk Girls come on around 11:40.
  • Around 17:30 when Deadmau5’s Some Chords is overlaid with Uffie’s Difficult. “Don’t worry if I write rhymes, I write checks.”
