YOLO Mentions bring attention to special
songs featured in that week’s YOLO List. Get the latest list here!

Another YOLO list native, Kids at the Bar, makes their way back on your weekly melting pot of Grade A sounds. I first heard these guys back when Chronic Mncher told me about the remix album of Daft Punk’s Human After All, aptly named Remix After All. After shuffling through some mediocre-at-best renditions of the originals, I landed on “Technologic (Kids At the Bar Remix).” After a few seconds you start to wonder if these guys are here to fuck around, and at about one minute you realize in fact, that, no..they’re not. Their sound encompasses some of the grimiest raved-out synths you can come by, much like that of Bloody Beetroots. They’re fairly liberal when it comes to hard hitting bass, and it all comes together in the best way possible. KATB still manages to stay lighthearted with their own versions of over-remixed indie greats like Empire of the Sun and Passion Pit. These guys are fairly consistent with their remixes/edits, and when it clicks, the music takes over. The only things that are missing are a warehouse, about 2-300 people, fog lights, and lasers…I can only imagine how fun it would be to catch these guys live.

So, I’ve been on a high all week from Nero‘s show in San Diego, and yet I’ve been fiending another concert more than usual. It’s probably because my lack of funds are catching up to me, and there are so many shows I want to go to. Time to be more selective. The grass is still greener here! There are a bunch of great events coming up, and Coachella is the closest it’s ever been. Had to turn down seeing my buddy’s in DJ Slander spin alongside Avicii at Radius Fest in San Diego on Friday. I’m happy to have at least been able to pass on the opportunity to Chronic Mncher. Turns out it was a hell of a show, and I’m not surprised.

Theme of this week’s YOLO list is know your rights! I’m tired of people getting taken advantage of by the cops. (I know this is random, but it’s relevant to life so go with it.) I got pulled over the other week because the cop said he thought I wasn’t going to stop at a red light I stopped at…If you know what’s good for you, you’ll watch this long video with horrible actors (some of which who wear puka shells) to edumucate yourself on what you can do when a cop is trying to get tricky. The advice from the video works. Fuck tha police and enjoy the choonz.
