For some places it doesn’t matter what the calendar says, it will always be mostly warm and sunny, no matter what time of year (growing up in Southern California, I became very accustomed to this). However, just North of our good friends in SLO-town it seems that we start to feel the seasons a bit more extremely. It’s just now finally gotten nice out here in Santa Cruz and the past few days it’s seemed like summer isn’t just something to look forward to, it’s practically here. Everyone’s in Miami taking sunny tanned pictures, and if you’re not doing that, you’re drooling over your Coachella wristband or EDC pass or whatever it is you’ve planned…and seeing a bunch of people with sunglasses and tanks ‘n boardshorts/bikinis smiling in the sun this past weekend when I played a little spring-break launching day party here, made me feel really fucking stoked.

Here’s the tracks from my set that got the best reaction, some old, some new. Was stoked to see kids get down with songs consisting of a pretty heavy (post)techno element, maybe it was the jello shots. I ended up mixing all the tracks together into a quick 22 minute minimix, so head to my soundcloud to save your right click fingers some trouble :)

Aerotronic – Helicopter
Bart B More – Romane (Gucci Vump Remix)
Keith & Supabeatz vs Slap In The Bass – Smoka (Myam Myam Remix)
Hot City X LOL Boys – Hot Boys
Miike Snow – The Wave (Style Of Eye Remix)
Bart B More feat. TAI – Nobody Canna Cross It (Di Bus Can Swim)
Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg – Still D.R.E.(The Rox 2012 Remix)

And if you haven’t grabbed Style of Eye’s single from the new OWSLA compilation, do so immediately. Please use caution, it’s not called ‘Devastate’ for nothin’.

Style of Eye – Devastate

Hope these bring some sunny vibes your way, always wear good headphones and support the artists!

Good morning! Had to churn this one out post Audiotistic, because I don’t know if I’m going to have time to do it later. Have a final Monday…every minute of studying I didn’t do and that I’ll never get back was 100% worth it. Audiotistic was everything and more. I’ll have videos and my favorites from the night on the next post. (Don’t worry, by the way, I’ll handle this test. It’s all about balance!)

So I didn’t get much of a response from the last one, but I’m going to assume that you all loved it, because I do! I’m planning on keeping them at two songs at most per artist, so I can show you as many as possible as the weeks go by. Look into the artists you like, and feel free to let me know if you need more guidance. I tried to keep it random as fuck again, so expect to hear something new. These have been really fun to make so far. Keep me posted on who stood out or what genre you want more of, and I’ll keep that in mind for future YOLO Lists.

ALSO! As you’re listening to these lists, if you feel as though I might enjoy a band you like, please tell me in the comments or email me! I have an ever-expanding desire for new music, and if I put it up here, you’ll get your credit for sure.

Delightful Mention!

Miike Snow – Animal (Punks Jump Up Remix)
Miike Snow is definitely one of the better bands out there right now. All around, too..they were absolutely beautiful at Coachella. This is one of those songs that all the remixes are way better, but the original is still amazing. This one imparticular has a grip of remixes, but the Punks Jump Up mix will always stand out to me.

Artist: The Colour
The Colour…it feels like I’ve been listening to them forever. They used to throw flyers around my highschool, and I went to see them because the flyer looked cool. They were local, got really big, made an amazing album called “Between Earth & Sky”, traveled Europe, then broke up. Band conflicts are a damn shame..Regardless, this shit has been “go to” for me for all my music life. Todays Rolling Stones? ..or yesterdays I guess

Artist: Starfucker
Don’t let the name fool you!

Artist: Discovery
This is a side project of Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles. Considering I love Vampire Weekend and think Ra Ra Riot’s aiite, I thought I’d give it a shot. It’s got this weird R&B thing going on, that’s kinda funny, considering it’s these two white guys. Somehow they pull it off though..

Your week just got it’s own playlist!
