• Daft Punk – Derezzed (NTEIBINT Remix) √+
This was check plus’d before I’d even heard it.  In short, it’s perfect.  Not sure if this is the actual leak or not but this is their latest from the Disney’s Tron soundtrack.  UPDATE: This is We heard this in the Tron promo / Derezzed music video recently, saw it posted on Vacay and tracked it down via SpotHeads.  As Daft Punk are the primary reason my life is now dedicated to electronic music (+ I’m a Disney shareholder) here it is in low preview quality.  Be sure to purchase the digital release of this in full quality when it comes out.  Oh and be sure to nab a ticket to the most expensive IMAX theater you can find, this $35,000 street legal lightcycle and fresh pair of Hurley Tron boardshorts + Tron Oakleys at this pop up shop coming soon to Culver City. And this Tron high heel by Jerome C. Rousseau.

(purchase)
You know by now that techy weirdness is no stranger to the GDD Tribe post midnight but hearing this on proper system at Control’s Halloween Party damn neared grooved my tut headdress + sunnies off.  Nonchalant, thick and dynamic, best of all it samples Drop It Like It’s Hot in perfect taste.  Try to keep a floor empty with this one on, it’s all over the place.

Let me Introduce…Nightbreaker

Nightbreaker is an act that up until a few days ago  I did not know even existed. Even now that I have been introduced to him, I still cannot seem to find much background information on him or who he is. All i have been able to find is that he is from the U.K. and that he just released a 3 song E.P this past month on Juno records. His EP is a piece of work you definitely should not miss! It has all the sounds of Boys Noize dark techno mixed with a heavier Haezer-like ‘banger’ sound.

Here is his title track off his newest EP:

THE HARD WEEKEND TO REMEMBER

So after a day of recollecting our hearing and visual memory from an incredible Halloween weekend, we recap on the best moments of the once again amazing Hard Haunted Mansion. The 2 day sell-out fest had crowds swarming each night, but I did my best to catch a least a bit of each act’s set so I could report back the juice. Saturday definitely got packed quicker but the lines seemed to move pretty fast getting in. Sunday was for the die-HARD fans (pun intended) as lines seemed to takes years to move. However, dirty dancers in the know got a real treat just a few blocks away … the most epic after-party you could hope for.

SATURDAY
HARD STAGE
Off the bat Busy P got the night started for us, throwing down all the exclusive new tunes (in a Jack Skellington skull head) you could ask for. With Mr. Oizo and SBTRKT having to cancel (due to visa issues), Diplo answered the call and filled in as a surprise guest for Oizo’s slot. Although many wanted to see the Halloween weirdness of the Ed Banger mystery man, Diplo held it down pretty well and got the main stage crowd groovin’ fast, playing everything from new Mumbai Science to California Swag District – it was a Mad Decent set for sure. Crookers then followed and opened big with their recent remix for Faithless’ ‘Tweak Your Nipple’ (find that below). After a fun filled set of classic Crookers jams and their newer favs, Rusko followed with a high energy set that brought his heavy anthems full force among the warm October night.

A litte Dub for you (Borgore, Nero, Netsky and Doctor P)

What’s up dirty dancers?  My name is Travis (aka TRE) and for the most part I will be providing you with all your dubstep goodies and everything else that carries a massive and/or hectic bassline.  So I hope you kids enjoy, have a dirty Saturday night!


• Borgore – Sex Instructions Dub √

This is exactly what you want from Borgore. The man is like a fine wine and seems to develop more and more with every new track he puts out.  This track offers more than enough to turn the dance floor into a brutal mosh pit.  What I find particularly impressive about this track are its melodic elements.  Borgore seems to really be exploring new ground, while at the same time staying true to his evil roots—it sounds magnificent.
• Plan B – The Recluse (Nero Remix) √+
I’ve been listening to this monster all week and I swear it cannot be played out; Nero has done it again.  This tune is massive, heavy, catchy and perfectly balanced with a drop guaranteed to get you on your feet.  Prepare yourself for this on repeat.  Not a bad opener, either.
• Plan B – The Recluse (Netsky Remix)
Here is another take on Plan B’s The Recluse, this remix is carries a much more feel good liquid funk vibe, which is always refreshing.   Netsky has been blowing up lately and this remix is a good example why.   What I personally like about this track is that the bassline has a great wobble but is not the main attribute of the track.   Seriously grab this guy cause its fire!
• Blame – Star (Doctor P Remix)
Can Doctor P do no wrong?  This thing is an intricate beast that will lay waste to even the most stubborn dance floors.  Like Borgore, Doctor P is certainly exploring new sounds and getting away from his signature high-pitched wobble.

What’s Good With It 2?

Photobucket
For any of you dirty dancers on the westside of Los Angeles…

Tomorrow night @ Twelve & Highland in Manhattan Beach – Whats Good With It is throwing a little shin-dig with a few local deviants, transforming the swanky beach lounge into a bass heavy bunker. Drinks all around? You bet. I’m anxious to see what happens when college crazies, local alcoholics, South Bay cougars and divorcees mix into one dance floor. Things are gonna get a little dicey. Fantastic.
Can’t make it? Here’s some solid tunage from Germany’s nightcrawler:

deadmau5 collapses mid-set, cancels next nine shows citing exhaustion


no #teamrusko feud jokes from me today, this sounds pretty serious.  what do you think about the decision to cancel nearly three weeks of shows?  any updates?

“whilst performing onstage at the 9:30 club in Washington DC, @deadmau5 collapsed, suffering exhaustion and vomiting. Medics at the venue took him directly to hospital where he is now under supervision.”

“deadmau5 is sad to advise his fans that on the strict advice of the doctors, he now has no choice but to cancel the next 9 shows of his Summer tour schedule to allow for his recovery. The dates affected are listed below.”

“Deadmau5 hopes to reschedule appearing in these cities in due course but in the meantime thanks all his fans for their understanding and support.”

Hurry to the Hussle Club

Prince Terrence, the kid who is known primarily for bangin the drums for artists such as Santigold and Major Lazer, as well as being a staple in the grungy NYC divebar cool kid scene, has started Hussle Club (your new favorite band, or at least your future girlfriend’s) With an arrogantly long title, the track ‘I have high expectations…’ has this danceypunk attitude that describes our rebellious lifestyles so well without being cliche, and Felix Cartal absolutely murked the remix.

• Hussle Club – I have high expectations for what I want to be but in the mirror I don’t see them staring back at me
• Hussle Club – I have high expectations for what I want to be but in the mirror I don’t see them staring back at me (Felix Cartal Remix)
