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

MOBY
*King of the Jungle*
(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)

(MOBYSTEP > ALL)

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

(I remember this shit, dopedopedope)


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

(Sick shit too)

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

(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)

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

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

Armin Van Buuren
(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)

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

The Song of the Zoo
(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.)

Bye Bye

It's been amazing to have been graced with such a great group of friends for most of my high school experience, and leaving to college has really put this entire stage of my life into perspective.
I should be coming back to New York fairly frequently in the coming year, so the biggest blow is the thought of not being able to see some of my friends that are going to be far away for such a long time. Names that come to my head are Max (my Norwegian instructor, fellow bear roller, fellow roller, guy who fucking rolls the way I roll in a hood way), Ian (triangle = all i need to say), and Lizzy (who forms thizzy with me, similar to Gotenks' formation or some shit). I'm expecting to see everyone else more often than I see those three in this coming year so it's a hard parting to make.
Basically,
I'm going to college and I'm going to miss my friends alot because we are a crew and a family, and this post is dedicated to every crew song we've been on, and maybe you'll learn a bit of our flavor by listening and downloading.
(I wrote this before finding out I can go to electric zoo and reunite with these mofuckas so soon, yee boiii!)

...I just realized, I don't know how to make descriptions for these songs, they're all so great, so you should just know that before listening, this is close to an entire group of friends' playlist for their years of friendship. That's sick shit.

The post is organized by genre, but each song is organized by date in each genre, so the oldest songs are at the top.

Rap
Barcelona '10
(This is an original classic, maybe the original classic. Everybody but the gremlin lady aka Kimbo in the picture above knows the lyrics perfectly, and we all knew it separately. It is a seriously dope song, no lie, no lie.)

(Mercer Street, H6, Boysenberry Cougars. This shit is too legit)

(Merker Street, H dot seis dot, put you in a case dot. Classic track. Cass da bomb!)

Chelsea's Backyard '08
(Oh shit, this song is poppin', really, it is)

Lizzy's '09
(A classic, emphasizes our crew's way of life when our crew's way of life is chillin 40in and bluntin, but we smoke Js mostly, get at us. Summer Ale and a J, you know our steelo)

(Another classic, but these are all classics. Who doesn't love this song? The crew does and did and we all know the words basically, it's fly, an anthem)

Central Park '10
(May not be B-Boy stances, but that is legit city Varsity fresh right there. Oh, and I told you, I can't really describe these songs, they're all just too good. This one is one of my personal favorites, so sick)

(Ah, not much else to say, just play it, and then we can all trip together! Fuck black salad)

Paris '10
(Another anthem, how catchy is that shit! Very catchy, I already know. It was a rhetorical question)

(You got the crew flu? Come and let the crew woo you. Good song but everyone knows that already. Props to Sherlz for showin' the Bean video)

Cava's '10
(A Thizzy favorite, love this song, you should too. Dope beat and dope punchlines, it's almost all punchlines too)

Waterside '09 or some shit
(This song makes everyone feel good, especially Mattia in the picture above. Oh no.
"Bitch I feel good, don't I look stupendous!")

Jammin' Shit
Crack Den '10
(This is just a classic song for any and every crew, or it should be)

UNIS '10, I think, maybe '09
(Yes, we all went on stage and sang this song with our friends S.H.I.T.C.U.N.T. when they performed it in school. Yes it is that much of a great song, became the anthem of our grade after being the anthem of our crew)

(This was the co-anthem at the same time as "Dreaming of You", except this stayed mostly within the crew, it's a GREAT song)

Berlin '10
(WE DON'T GET SLEEPY! Great song but most people know that, we just knew it before)

(Another really important crew song, wow I sense a theme amongst these. It's a great song and you should check it out and download it, I promise you'll like it)

(Good song. I love my friends, thas all imma say)

(Great song, this was basically our night's coming down song of summer 09, blasting it downstairs while chilling around the table, times I can't forget)

Senior Page, You Jealous! '10
(This is THE Tri/_\ngle song, Triangle song. Good song but more of a personal attachment, had to post it)

(Dope song, was into it towards the end of last year and til' who knows when, dope dope, dopity dope. The beginning is great)

(More recent crew song, but we all love it.)

Techno
Lou's Roof, '10
(THE SONG. This is what started us into techno. Basically.)

(The Other Song! This was the co-anthem when we were listening to "Love to Edit", we had some good times with these)

(This is an October 10th song that Crookers played, but it's not dubstep so I'm keeping it here. Great song, the 2nd drop is grimy)

Casa Sala, Summer '09
(Crew approved, Crewproved)

(The main build up and drop is too grimy, the amount of times we got pumped and hype to this song is uncountable, cause we can't remember... BUT IT WAS MAD TIMES)

Midtown, '10 or '09
(The whistle drop is a killer. Titty Team Track, showed by Tom)

(Oh this is too sick. Who couldn't love the throwback McDonald's commercial remix)

(Classic song... Psych. It's a classic crew approved funny video! And pretty catchy song, remix here)

Lizzy's, '09/'08/'10? Who the fuck knows
(Recent crew song. The instant party starter. Ravemen approved)

(Eurotrip special dedication. But whole crew digs it, new shit, good shit)

October 10th - Dubstep
Why We Go Harder Than You, Until Now
(we still probably go harder, but you can step up your game with these songs)
UNIS, Post Oct. 10th 2009, You pitieddd
(The original dubstep track in my opinion, whole crew loves and loved it, it started our dubstep craze, and Tom since he showed the genre to us)

(...Just listen to the opening words and you'll know why it goes hard, great song)

(I can't even describe "Apples", perfect dubstep track, CMON YALL!)

Terminal 5, October 10th 2009, yes!
(The lighter funner side of dubstep, a killer song)

(One of our original favorites, important song for dubstep, great song for everyone)

the Cave of the Caveman, '09
(One of the catchiest songs ever, and a grimy dubstep track too, no way! YES WAY)

(october10thoctober10thoctober10thoctober10th. Jack Beats killed it and this song kills it, after we heard it live, it became a classic)

(Just as "Drop the Pressure", "Get Down" shook our little younger bodies when we heard it live and then it became a classic for us)

Casa Sala, '09
(When I first heard this song, I thing a part of me may have died and gone to music heaven. Instantly turned into a crew favorite, and anyone who heard it, even who didn't like dubstep, liked it)

(One day I'll explain the full story behind this song, but it's such a good dirty motherfucking song that we actually have an ENTIRE story behind it. I'll give you a hint: Robots, war, survival, chainsaws, yeah)

(So sick.)

(Such a fly song, absolutely adore it! Ya! No but really, a crew lock)

Chill
Senior Retreat, Central Park, 2010
(The chillest, best, most beautiful song)

UNIS, UN Day
(S.H.I.T.C.U.N.T. played it at school and had the whole school shivering, it's one of the most important crew songs ever, easily)

(Beautiful beautiful song, we even loved it while pregaming for parties or dances. It's sick)

(No competition for what I think to be the best oldschool song, Fats Waller kills it, crew lovez)

Family Gathering, Lou's Roof, '10
(Super duper song)

(It's actually called "Breathe" but the file name on Itunes will be "Breath" because for some reason "Breathe" wasn't working when I uploaded.. Just to explain. It's fly shit, chill shit)

(The best version of this song, really great song. Norway!)

Senior Retreat, '09
(My morning alarm, it's a great song, Ravemen Approved, shown to me by Caveman)

(I LOVE THIS SONG. I really do. And so does the rest of the crew)

(Great song, we've all really enjoyed it)

Home, Always
(Home is with these guys, and some others who aren't in our grade)

Got a Passion for Pit?

Went to the Passion Pit concert last night at Governor's Island, they had just had their biggest concert ever in New York at Prospect Park the day before, and the one last night broke that record, so it was packed and pretty sick except for a bunch of people who were whiny.
(I know, it's a great picture especially with the blur, it shows how hectic it was, yeah!)

So, I've been inspired to have a Passion Pit dedicated post (predominantly remixes or what I think will be more difficult to find as compared to their bigger stuff - which I may have already posted).

(The drop is at like 1:50 so be patient, Jack Beats is a killer, a killer I tell you!)

(Both remixes of "Little Secrets" are ill so listen to both, download both)

Only problem was that they didn't play my favorite song "Cuddle Fuddle", which was posted earlier and you should definitely check out if you haven't already.

(This was the song at the concert that immediately caught my ear and I had to download it, one of the older ones I hadn't heard before, I'm late to it but it's cute and adorable so get it)

(This is my favorite Passion Pit remix of them all, it's catchy as fuck and the drops at like 0:45 and 1:52 are ridiculous)

(This isn't a Passion Pit song but it's their remix of the song "Symphonies" by Dan Black, had to post this cause it's my favorite version of an already good song, so not only can they play, but they can DJ too!)
