You know it’s going to be an interesting day when you wake up to the sight of 6:45 am on the clock and you’re exhausted from partying to the sounds of SBTRKT, Laidback Luke, 2manydjs, Fatboy Slim, and Rusko the night before at HARD Haunted Mansion. Early last Saturday morning, my friends and I made our way back to the west side from downtown LA, only to rest and prepare for our journey inland to Insomniac’s first Halloween massive, Escape From Wonderland. See what it was all about after the jump…

Le Castle Vania‘s long awaited song Awake finally dropped today on Always Never Records. This banger was definitely worth the wait and will be used to smash dance floors across the globe. It’s a very full-bodied song, mashing elements of electro and dub while simultaneously streaming a melodic build and drizzling sexy female vocals on top. Don’t sleep on this one, STAY AWAKE!

Snoballing off of my new ‘Tropicool’ alter ego and the success that has been attributed to the new set chocked full of steel drums, ocean and breeze samples, synth, cowbells and keys, I have a very special treat for you. I’ve been digging deep into the genre and the archives surfacing with many goodies hidden in both my sleeves and trunks. Within the next week, there will be 2 more installments of Waves ≠ Raves inspired by the tropicool beginning of summer sun-kissed weather. Also to top things off, our friends The Ampal Creative who we put this collab on with are releasing the Summer line of Aloha hats, that for the lack of better words, are the Frothiest lids from here to Bali.
“The waves ≠ raves consists of hand-picked gems that inspire us, tickling and tempting our creative juices. Some are old, some are new, but it is what we are listening to now. They are groovey, flowing, and sun-kissed just like that perfect wave. They are uplifting and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They sound the best with a babe in one hand, a cold brewski in the other, and the sand beneath your feet. Stay Dreamy.”
Waves ≠ Raves Vol. 8
Familjen – Det Var Jag (Boeoes Kaelstigen’s Remix)
Penguin Prison – Golden Train (Penguin Prison Dub)
Pacific! – Unspoken (Anoraak Remix)
Cosmic Kids – Reginald’s Groove (Classixx Remix)
Jessica 6 – Prisoner of Love (ft. Antony)
Saint Etienne – Spring (Air France Remix)
¡¡Bonus!!
Dj Falcon & Thomas Bangalter – Together (Le Castle Vania & Computer Club Summer Bootleg Mix)
All Files Zipped —-> HERE <—- Kick off your shoes, put on some chapstick, and keep it casual.
Here’s the first little sneak peak of The Ampal Creative Summer line – More to come with future Waves ≠ Raves. Entitled “The Seven Seas”

What’s up my fellow dirty dancers, I hope your weekend is treating you as well as it is treating me. This has been a great week in music, whether your in Miami or not (and if you are, I want you to know I hate you a little bit). Anyways, I was very honored when FuzZ, Avedon and Zedex all decided to contribute to this weeks dirt! From complex IDM to French House, the three artists certainly differ in their sound, but not their unmistakable talent. With a wide range of songs to choose from on this weeks dirt, there is certainly something for all of you. So without further ado, myself, Fuzz, Avedon and Zedex present this week’s dirt after the jump!
*Check out the exclusive tracks from Fuzz, Zedex & St. Andrew!
The man, myth, and legend, Le Castle Vania just dropped the 2nd installment of what is hoped to be a continued mix-tape series entitled “BulletProof Tiger.” It is loud, fast, yet groovy at the same time. No tune unfinished, no transition not meticulously cared for. Heavy metal accents with hints of disco has never sounded so good. I ran into Dylan at SXSW and i gotta say the dude is rad. He was also nice enough to send over his two most recent remixes for both DIM and Rrrump. Enjoi!
