Yuksek

Yuksek is yet another Parisian producer constantly killing it. Best part about him is he's down to remix Hip-Hop ( Wu Tangs Ghostface Killah and Ugod) and does a very fine job might I add. See for yourself below. Enjoy!


Yuksek - Deladeu2

Ugod - Ugodzilla (Yuksek Remix)

Yuksek - Little Dirty Trip

Yuksek - Everywhere In Town (Cosmo Viteli Remix)

Sebastien Tellier Live at The Knitting Factory L.A.
The super sexual and ultra sweaty Sebastien Tellier played one of two super exclusive US shows at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood last night. Sebastien looked like a hobo after scrounging though a theater companies dumpster, but was awesome none the less. He moaned and groaned through tracks off of his latest album Sexuality, performing some daunting moves on his innocent microphone and pounded out his famed multi-album track "La Ritournelle." Once again it was extremely dark, but you still need to check him out in action (when you can see him.) Enjoy!

HARD Fest Recap
Well HARD Fest is over and I still have yet to see The Bloody Beetroots. N.E.R.D. went on almost an hour late causing a chain reaction of lateness. So MSTRKRFT basically closed the show, giving the Beetroots a 20 minute set. All in all it was still a lot of fun. Some of the video I shot is below. Enjoy!

Chromeo - Fancier Footwork Remixes


Chromeo's Fancy Footwork just got a tad fancier. The recently released deluxe edition of the album contains an additional CD with a few of their greatest hits and some of the finer remixes to date. Below are a few of the remixes including the Laidback Luke Remix which is nothing short of stellar. Enjoy!

We Are Scientists Live at The Glass House
On Thursday, July 3 We Are Scientists gave everyone at the Glass House a double dose of entertainment. Not only did they play pretty much every track in their repertoire, but were also hilarious between songs. Definitely my idea of a good show.

The Avalanches Live Mix

I've always thought The Avalanches Since I left You was the perfect album to complement a nice summer afternoon. So in that respect I thought I'd post a mix with that same refreshing summer vibe by none other than The Avalanches. Enjoy!

Electric Daisy Carnival


This years EDC was quite the event. Thousands upon thousands of people with clenched jaws and eyes that looked like black olives congregating in little circles and along the fences. Most not really paying any attention to the music, but enjoying every second of the evening and early morning (except the girl puking in the trash next to me right before Shinichi.)

I spent most of my time walking from DJ to DJ trying to catch a little or lot of everyone important to me. Armand Van Helden was a good time, as was DJ Dan and Donald Glaude's 4x4 set. DJ Heather killed the OM stage and Shinichi Osawa was the absolute highlight of my morning (he played from 2AM -3AM.) Below are a few videos I shot of the spectacle. Enjoy!
