Party people! It’s that time of the year again. It comes around 2-4 times a year, depending on how old you are, how smart you are, and whether or not you care about your life: finals week. Although I should have my nose pressed in the books, I’m spending my time scouring the depths of the internet for music to study to. I got you guys set up for this week. Along with the weekly list, I thought I’d add some essential mixes to help you guys with your studies. Leave all doubt out of your minds and get those A’s! We can celebrate this friday at Control Avalon with Treasure Fingers and Burns on the decks, or next Friday at the same place for AC Slater! Check the Upcoming Events page for links to buy tickets and more info. Use these tunes to your advantage and good luck on whatever subject The Man sends your way.

Essential Mixes/Livesets

I hate to overload you with all these…but I’ve studied to them a countless number of times, and they really came in handy. I tried to put them in order depending on how much I love them. This was NOT an easy task.

1. Soulwax Live at Soulwaxmas 2008
2. The Twelves Essential Mix
3. ***BONUS Nero Essential Mix (Prepare for TAO)
4. Wolfgang Gartner Live at Winter Music Conference
5. Fake Blood Essential Mix
6. ***BONUS Swedish House Mafia Essential Mix
7. Calvin Harris Essential Mix
8. Soulwax Live at Hard Summer 2010
9. Wolfgang Gartner Essential Mix

I’ve been making a lot of promises to get on with this post, and so the time has come. Wolfgang Gartner is coming up in a big way. I don’t know about you but with a weird ass name like that I assumed he was another European DJ making his name in the U.S. Wrong. Fool’s from Austin, Texas. How he stumbled on that name is beyond me.

I had heard his name here and there and got a few tracks from my buddy Maxim, but he really hit home with me when I saw him at coachella. He’s got the same glitchy, kinda dark, hard bass-y, progressive house thing going on that people who appreciate deadmau5 and Felguk would instantly love. The guy was my second favorite at EDC (followed closely behind Duck sauce). Not a moment of mediocrity in his entire set.

SO! I got a high quality live recording of his set from the Winter Music Conference in Miami that’s pretty comparable to the EDC set. I haven’t been able to stop listening to it. Jam out to these tracks.
