So the lease is up on my house and I was supposed to be out of here by 12 PM and it’s almost 4 now. Naturally, I’m looking for new music and my favorite rising star chose to go at another Steve Aoki tune. Even though his more recent works have strayed away from his bouncy moombahton sound I fell in love with, even though he’s kind of an asshole, I still stand by him. He’s pushing the envelope with his antics, but he’s still putting out hard hitting jams. This one in particular goes back to that bouncy style that I can’t get enough of. Reminds me of his earlier remixes like “She Blows (Whistle Tune)” and “Take It Back.” I was looking to download it online, but I figured this track was good enough to purchase.

Buy it now on BeatPort! Only $2. |‘Like’ His facebook. The dude is comedy.

Happy days friends! Still a trip to see I’ve broke into the century mark with these lists…next milestone: 1000! I’ll do it. Just you watch. It was nice to find some time to go hunting for new music last week. I feel like I haven’t done that in awhile. I don’t know why? I think I just got out of the usual loop of things, because of how busy life has been as of late. Plus, being caught up on T.E.E.D.’s album ‘Trouble’ didn’t help. I haven’t been able to give that album a rest! Anyhow, #101 got a little bit of this, and a lotta bit of that, so find something new, eh? It’s on us:

Alright guys…good to be back. For all who hadn’t noticed, I wasn’t able to get up a playlist last week after I got back from EDC. It was straight to the books for my last set of finals before I graduated from college! Crazy. Life is happening. I hate to make excuses, but hell, I’m not perfect. Neither are you! But that’s ok. I still love you. SO much so, that I’ve gathered up twice the usual amount of energizing tunage for this week’s list. Thought this one deserved to be special, because I finally hit the century mark. It feels like just yesterday when I got back from Audiotistic 2010 and did YOLO2 in the wee hours of the night because I couldn’t fall asleep. It was from that moment on that I knew I would want to do this for as long as possible. I just love music so much, and sharing it with like minded people just never gets old.

Oh by the way! Got a treat for our Southern California readers. There is a line of free shows headed our way in July: Moby, Portugal. the Man, Band of Skulls, and Raphael Saadiq. Alls you have to do is RSVP by clicking here! Pretty cool, huh? Just a lil summin’ summin’ to fill up your spare time this summer. It’s setting up to be a damn good one! Until then, enjoy #100.

<3,
C+A+D

Now here’s an artist that always gets me the weirdest look when I try to share him with a friend. “‘Totally Dino’ what?” It’s worth spreading, though, to everyone who’s willing to listen. He’s got a style that you won’t find anywhere else; a bass line crafted special for every song. Born Orlando Higginbottom, but otherwise known by his stage name as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (T.E.E.D.) His debut album Trouble is finally out today! Thanks to the music gods I got my hands on an early release and have been waiting to share the review. Check our praise of the album and the tracklist after the jump:

I just have to make it through these next few weeks and then it will officially be my last Summer as I know it now. The summer after I graduate from college and before I step into the part of my life that depends entirely on what I make of it. I’m ready! ‘Til then…I got Outside Lands (tickets) in San Francisco and HARD Summer (tickets) if I play my cards right. Both of which have been traditions since 2008. Shits getting real. Enjoy #98 everyone. I hope you find something new that you like.

Can dubstep really be dead if bass leaders are taking over the world one city at a time? I don’t know about you guys, but I still get the chills when I’m in a crowd of 1000+ people and the bass hits me. It’s a very special feeling at a dubstep show. For all y’all out there still feeling that sickness, Rusko is heading straight for Southern California before he hits EDC, and we have tickets for you at the LA date! Find out how to win after the jump:

Hello hello hello! Really happy that summer tracks are on steady flow and the southern California weather has been following. Concert and festival season is right around the corner! I can’t wait to have more time to get back on the ball with interviews and show reviews. I love doing that stuff. Speaking of shows…I’ve been waiting for tonight for too long. The Twelves are coming to LA tonight for an intimate showcase at Drai’s in Hollywood, and it’s completely sold out! Right before they come to LA, they’ll be finishing their set up at I Love This City in San Diego. Sounds stressful. +Jangbar and PHILM will be there shooting and covering that event. I wish I could clone myself and go to both..Til I figure that out, enjoy #97.
