HalloWeakEnd

Sorry for the wait, busy weekend, and horrible, because I lost my phone and glasses. So I couldn't get around to finishing up and perfecting the Halloweekend Mix, but since we're all ok with a little bit of error, I'm still going to post the mix for you guys to check out, and download if you think you're ready to settle down make its relationship with your ears a more steady and permanent thing.

Comment whatever you think if you want, criticism is always ok, you can even do it anonymously in case you think I'll slay you.

SHIELD YOUR EYES, OPEN YOUR EARS

/\ I'm here to penetrate your mind with my saber and then fill it with dirty electro. "That's not a saber!" Shut up nobody cares about correct sword terminology. I would've called it a rapier but then how inappropriate does that sentence sound? Exactly.

HalloWeakEnd - Tay

(See what I did there? Weak End Weekend because I lost my phone. But I hope it was fun for you! and I hope this mix is fun enough for you too. If it's not up to your standards, sorry hotshot, there's still better - and less depression-over-lost-phone influenced - mixes to come)

Tracklist:

Hahaha - Smf

(I love this kid)

You Used to Hold Me (APproject Remix) - Calvin Harris

Martyr - John Roman

Lemonade - Boys Noize & Erol Alkan

Lemonade (John Roman Remix) - Boys Noize & Erol Alkan

Heartbreak on Vinyl (LA Riots Radio Edit) - Blake Lewis

Boi's Noize

Here's some of da boi's noize, also known as two songs heard from the Boys Noize Electric Zoo set.

For a good twosday, I'm letting you get your ears bassified with some lovely humps of rhythm that don't come from the Black Eyed Peas

(see what I did there? Other artist's song reference points! Yeah!... "My Humps" in case you really didn't get it)

Lemonade - Boys Noize & Erol Alkan

(This song is one of those that remind you of a sick time, nostalgia-inducing hits, and then hits you in the face at the drop and makes, I mean MAKES you have a good time in the present. Wow that almost sounded philosophical. Right? Ok maybe not but whatever, I was distracted by the song)

Sweet Light (Boris Dlugosch Remix) - Boys Noize

(This has such a funky bass line in my opinion, it's one of those basslines that just sounds like a giant blob bouncing all around you, get loose and fluid to this, it's basically begging you to)

And since you're probably wondering what that image is from, behold, the Herculoids!

Electric Zoo Day 2

After having had the minute of silence for those who were lost on 9/11 (if I really got into talking about it, this would turn into an emotional rant rather than an optimistic music blog), now you can have many minutes of music filled enjoyment!

New York Love

This is the Day 2 post, so it features the artists we heard on the second day of E.Zoo (in chronological order), lots of wild electricity ahead!

*SONG OF THE ZOO* means it's a song that was played by numerous DJs and heard frequently throughout Electric Zoo

*King of the Jungle* is the best DJ of the Zoo in my opinion. (Mobymobymoby!)

"The Song of the Zoo" is the song that was played most!

Day Two

Laidback Luke

Blau! - Laidback Luke

(Laidback Luke was seriously killing it, but I didn't get to see that much of his set. BLAU!)

MOBY

*King of the Jungle*

Under the Sun (Herve Remix) - Kidda

(Moby is the king. He was playing a DJ Set so mostly not his own shit, and he came at us with some SERIOUS dubstep. These are the only two songs I knew that he played, and most people didn't know any. Fucking amazing. He was the best of the Zoo easily in my opinion)

Get Down - Jack Beats

(MOBYSTEP > ALL)

Boyz Noize

Nott - Boyz Noize

(This was his first or one of his first songs, crushed it)

Kontact Me - Boyz Noize

(I remember this shit, dopedopedope)

Jeffer - Boyz Noize

(Dope song, Boyz Noize killed it, don't even think he played this)

My Moon My Man (Boyz Noize Remix) - Feist

(Sick shit too)

A-Trak

Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

*SONG OF THE ZOO*

(Great song, got stuck in my head forever. The two drops are dope as hell, at 2:28 and 3:41)

Wolfgang Gartner

Wolfgang's 5th Symphony - Wolfgang Gartner

(Wolfgang was playing some nasty shit, really good stuff, sound system wasn't as great as the others, but this song really got the crowd hype, you can hear why)

Steve Aoki

I'm In the House - Steve Aoki

(He's in the motherfucking house. And he was in the tent. And we all loved it. Not much else to say, killer)

WARP (Ft. Steve Aoki) - the Bloody Beetroots

(I don't even want to talk about this song because I missed it 'cause I was accompanying someone to the bathroom.. It speaks for itself. Quick story: My friend Jon lost his shoe when the song started playing, crowd went in a full mosh circle, and he landed back on his shoe... Sick shit)

Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix) - Kid Cudi

*SONG OF THE ZOO*

(This song was played numerous times throughout Zoo, fucking dope stuff. Showed to me by Caveman of Ravemen a while ago. Ravemen approved!)

Bassnectar

LSD - Bassnectar

(Bassnectar likes bass, and he uses it extremely well. This song is one of my favorite finds in a while. He's sick.)

Blow - Bassnectar

(It'll blow your fucking face off, nuff said.)

Armin Van Buuren

That Morning - Leon Bolier

(Armin played this, pretty good, but I'm not really a big fan of trance music when it's not live... But yeah, pretty good shit! The classical music part a bit in is dope)

These Silent Hearts (Ft. BT) - Armin Van Buuren

(Again, trance = eh for me, but this is pretty good, and Armin is nasty live)

The Song of the Zoo

One - Swedish House Mafia

(This is quite easily the song of the entire Zoo. Heard it four times at least, and then it was the fucking ENCORE at the end of Armin's set. The song of the zoo. No competition. My vote for song of the summer too.)
