Fright Night

Two Halloween bangers for the club tonight...both rocking the John Carpenter theme.

The first from the DiscoTech crew, the second from LA's all-star DJ Cobra.

Enjoy.

DiscoTech - Nowhere To Run

Three 6 Mafia - Lolli Lolli (DJ Cobra Remix)

Hip Hop Joints: C.R.E.A.M. (and now K.R.E.A.M.)

Earlier this week we heard from Ghostface Killah. Let's go back to the Wu-Tang classic...

Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.



Now check Los Scandalous duo U-N-I, who just won the MTV VMA for Best Breakout Artist in LA, as they flip the C.R.E.A.M. beat into a love letter for all the sneaker heads. K is for kicks, get it?

U-N-I - K.R.E.A.M.

that Bmore ish

Here at "DJ CAM$$$$: the blog" we not only like to break new slaps, but also to ensure your crates are full of essential bangers, even if they've been out for a minute. No doubt.

This week we roll through Baltimore. Shouts to Aaron Lacrate, Debonair Samir, King Tutt, Scottie B, and DJ Technics.

Make sure you have these...

Aaron Lacrate - Samir's Theme

Daft Punk - Robot Rock (B-Stee edit)

BONUS: DJ AM spinning the Justice slap at LIVE 105's BFD back in June...

Dream Date

Two fressssh tracks off Kid Sister's forthcoming album "Dream Date"...November 25th. Love this lady.

Kid Sister - Get Fresh

Hip Hop Joints: Be Easy

It's time to get this string going. Thus I present the first in a never-ending (and in no particular order) series of essential hop hop joints...from Tony Starks himself.

Ghostface Killah - Be Easy

the DJ bible

Check this excerpt from the book "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life"...

"In a good club, and even in most bad ones, the dancers are celebrating their youth, their energy, their sexuality. They are worshiping life through dance and music. Some worship with the heightened levels of perception that drugs bring; but most are carried away merely by the music and the people around them. The DJ is the key to all this. By playing records in the right way the average DJ has a tremendous power to affect people's states of mind. A truly great DJ, just for a moment, can make a whole room fall in love.
Because you see, DJ'ing is not just about choosing a few tunes. It is about generating shared moods; it's about understanding the feelings of a group of people and directing them to a better place. In the hands of a master, records become the tools for rituals of spiritual communion that for many people are the most powerful events of their lives."

Yeah, soak that in. Probably my favorite book of all time.

From Francis Grasso, David Mancuso, and Nicky Siano, to Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa, you'll read how guys like these paved the way for all the kids today with Serato on their laptops. If you don't own this book, you need to. Here, I'll help.

Klever the Killer

First saw Klever in Miami at the WMC back in 2007, and dude's become one of my favorite DJ's. He's original, his mixing is sick, and his productions are always on point.



Here's an oldy but goody exclusive mix he did for Discobelle back in the day. Classic.

DJ Klever: Discobelle exclusive mixxx

And here's one of my favorite tracks from the mix, a bonus track off Trick Daddy's "Back By Thug Demand."

Trick Daddy - Drop (Low, Low, Low)

and Justice for all...

According to Marke B., in his post "Bare your breasts for Justice" on San Francisco Bay Guardian's Noise blog, "...I must say I completely stand by my assertion that hardcore electro is the new hair metal."

Absolutely.

Is it November 24th yet? Cause this comes out then...

JUSTICE - A CROSS THE UNIVERSE (teaser)

Here's a riiiiidiculous live video mix, from my friends over at Stockholm Beat Connection.

JUSTICE @ REX CLUB
by extermitent

One of the classics from the mix...

Justice - Phantom Part II (Soulwax Nite Version)


Speaking of Soulwax, I really need to pick this up too.

Zero Machine

The homies at Discodust call this one of the top 10 bangers of 2008.
Yeah I'd agree.
Le Castle Vania turns the Pumpkins into straight dancefloor fire.

Le Castle Vania - Zero Machine

Another One Bites The Dust

My Bay Area brothers Solomon and Chris Harnett take Queen's classic and elevate it to banger status. I was after Chris a while back to shoot me this track, and now it's even better, all freshly remastered, all ready to knock in the clubs...

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust (DJ Solomon + DJ Chris Harnett remix)

Get on Travis and Adam's mix here.
So damn thankful they're doing better...
Adam, props homie for that Jay-Z tour!!!!

And so it begins.

Welcome to my "epic" blog...something I've been wanting to do for a long while. And I'm trying hard to find eloquent words to kick this thing off in a dignified manner, but hell, let's just get into it...
I am obsessed with all things music. Hence I'll be posting a lot of it on here. Bangers and two steps for both the "jet set" and the Dipset.
Can't promise to write everyday, but when I'm on to some shenanigans, I'll be sure to throw them on here.

I kick it off with a true banger from the DiscoTech guys...

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds (Gigamesh Remix)
