The last day of Outside Lands is almost underway! Can’t say I’m going to miss the cramped hotel room we stuffed in, but it’s always tough to leave SF. With that I bring you my 108th weekly playlist. I told my yoga-teacher-cousin how I’ve been doing this, and he explained to me the significance of the number 108. It’s a very sacred number in Hinduism and Budhism. It’s supposed to represent the ultimate reality of the universe simultaneously being one (1), nothing (0), and everything (8, infinite). Pretty cool! I love that kinda stuff. The most interesting thing I found out about it (and you can look this up): the distance from the Earth to the Sun divided by the Sun’s diameter is approximately 108. Same with the moon… He just stressed how great it was that I’ve stayed consisted for this long and how now these lists are now a part of me. I feel it! Enjoy #108:

LA’s premier music festival laid another milestone last weekend that’s not to be forgotten anytime soon. For everyone there, whether working at the fest or simply being a guest, HARD Summer was something special. This was our fourth HARD Summer, and we were able to get a behind the scenes look at one of our most anticipated festivals of the year. It’s always so tough narrowing these down to a “Best Of” list, but the festival would not have been the same without the contributions of the following artists. Check them out after the jump:

Sorry I have been lagging on getting this up. Been in full recovery-mode after HARD Summer. Now preparation-mode for T.E.E.D. this Thursday and OSL this weekend. Things are getting crazy! But that’s how I like it. Better than being bored out of my mind with no plans in the near future. I feel like that goes without saying though. Enjoy #107:
HARD Summer being over has finally given me time to focus my energy on this Thursday, where Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs will be playing at the Echo in LA to a sold out crowd. With this guy’s slow but steady rise to his well deserved fame comes an EP for the song that made me fall in love: Household Goods. This was the only song of its kind on his new album, which definitely adds to it being a standout track. Zeds Dead took the liberty of slowing it down, but maintaining the beauty that lies within. Sit back. Light up. Relax. Enjoy.
Household Goods EP will be released August 20th with remixes from Zeds Dead, Zinc, Li’l Silva, Enei and Mano Le Tough.

Alright let me catch my breath for a second, because I’m trying to contain my…..EXCITEMENT FOR HARD THIS WEEKEND!!! Damn. I lost it. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more off the wall about this weekend, I found out about these events:

I’m really happy I started this series, because sometimes I get so much new music so quick (i.e. All this stuff that I got yesterday), and it would be too much to individually post it all. Every track here is equally essential and have had me in a mood boost for the past 24 hours. I mean, look at the headline! That lineup of names isn’t a joke. Check what I mean after the jump:

Gosteffects FaceBook | Kick the Bass EP | SoundCloud
Our buddy John, better known by his ghastly ghoul of a moniker Gosteffects has been hard at work topping Beatport charts and getting support from DJs like Fatboy Slim, Laidback Luke and more. After his Kick the Bass EP blew out the speakers of thousands, he decided to release a series of the hardest hitting remixes in two volumes.
In Volume 1, .357 Magnum is locked and loaded with banging moombahton remix of Kick the Bass. Takes me back to that Delta Heavy Remix of Must be the feeling. With the recent release of Volume 2, John is gifting us with another free remix by Black Matter. For those of you who can never quench their electro thirst, pick that shit up! Head over to his soundcloud for more tracks to support.
You can download the track below by either going to the track’s page on his soundcloud or by clicking here.
