Artist Spotlight: DJ Slander

UCI’s very own trance/house specialists, Derek Anderson and Scott Land, are coming through with some solid mixes for our listening pleasure. They formed their alliance in Spring of 2010 and have been working their asses off ever since. Less than a year on the tables and they already have several free mixes up for download on iTunes and their facebook page. I’m not the biggest trance fan, but these mixes are easing me into a better understanding of the genre.

DJ Slander‘s love for music and concerts pretty much guarantees a quality mix of the best music the scene has to offer. I requested a harder more progressive set for this post, and they’ve delivered. Extra C+A+D points for starting off with Duck Sauce‘s “Barbara Streisand,” and Wolfgang Gartner‘s “Fire Power.” This mix hits hard as hell, and frankly, I can’t get enough. They’re going to be spinning at Monster Beach Party for Labor Day weekend. Tickets are $10 each night or $15 for the weekend. They’ll be headlining on Friday. Enjoy this delightful mix on us.
