Sick Steve Saturday

Today's sure to be a Sick Saturday, my friend Lee (co-member of Leet and part of LIT) from New York came up from school in Vermont this morning at 7:00 AM and we're seeing Steve Aoki Tonight.
So in honor of today, get your sickness satiated:

Aoki on the left! Lindsay on the right!
(This is a sick song, but the build up that starts at 2:26 - when Lykke Li and Santogold come in, and the drop at 3:10 reaaally get me, that shit sounds so good. All troof, no lie)
"You be jammin to this beat, I rock it with ill technique!"
(You probably know this, the original "I'm in the House" by Steve Aoki, it's smooth and liked by most people)

(Here's a remix of the ever popular song, and a remix that I deeply appreciate, this is dope a la dope!)

*ICYSOI* *SONG OF THE ZOO*
(Anddd, In Case You Slept On It, this was Aoki's song that was heard numerous times throughout Electric Zoo, so it's regarded highly throughout the scene by other DJs, and by listeners since this gets you hype like not much else can. Enjoy!)

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.)
