Tyler Tastemaker and Doctor Adam are two of the most respected DJ’s in the FBM crew, constantly playing out and opening shows as well as holding down several residencies. If you are unfamiliar with Tylers smooth dub and heavy blap or Adams party jams, minimal techno and hip hip edits here is your introduction.

Despite dependable outdoor parties and a strong drum and bass scene Portland’s raves took a slump for the worst in the last few years with many of the old heads reaching legal drinking age and flooding the clubs instead. In the last six months the all aged warehouse parties seem to be returning with force, largely thanks to 2410 and a renewed interest in house and minimal techno. Parties like Classic, Dirtybird X-Mas and Sweethearts were well organized, funded, attended and almost lavish and decadent in design. The next great party looks to be Wild Wild West, where we have the same energy, the same rave DJ’s and production but in a club setting.

By now, everyone who’s ever read a single music blog or go into an electro-themed or hipster dance party has heard this single by Cleveland rapper Kid Cudi. Perhaps you even seen at a somewhat explicit music video, that evidently Kid Cudi isn’t so jazzed about. I did learn one thing from the video though, his name is pronounced Cuud-ee, not like cootie.
Thanks to Minus for sending me his remix, and inspiring this post. Go read his blog, NoRequestsPlease

Some of the recent electro club bangers show no sign of dying out any time soon with new remixes and edits flooding my inbox. And this is the way it should be. Certain melodies are just to classic to ever go away. With each new version you can intrigue a crowd while maintaining familiarity.
Meddle (AC Slater and DJ Skeet Skeet remix featuring GoldieLocks) – Little Boots
Township Funk – Sinden Remix (Barletta Re Edit) – Mujava
Working out is overrated – Don Diablo vs Missy Elliot
&Down (Disco Trash Music edit) - Boys Noize

If you have any previous conceptions of DJ Hell please leave them at the door. The new sound is worlds away from the fuzzy, harsh electro clash and squelch he is most famous for. Now we have emotionally tinged melodies and music that reminds me more of the minmal M. Mayer then the 80’s reviving DMX Krew.
This song is a bit long. Sweeping with the vocals and flow of an Australian electro charmer (think PNAU, Empire of the Sun) with a heavy thumping organic sounding bass beat. It would be very easy for this to be over the top and cheesy but the refrain is so old it is unfuck-able with.

Los Angeles/ Brooklyn’s (Via Tacoma, Wa) Eliot Lipp might make quite a storm this year. Well it’s about time; what with the release of his excellent new album Peace Love Weed 3D dropping last month, and his current tour spanning most of the US with Ghostly International’s Michna. While this cloud of hype and praise may cast a shadow on his earlier work, there is a reason his sixth official album will be his breakthrough. Following a year that embraced genre-fuck artists like Ed Banger and Ghislain Porier, Eliot lipp comes to remind everyone culture clashing electronic music has been here for years. Consequentally he also reminds us how it’s done.

Many older jaded kids are already discounting Obama as a just another president and not a sign of change. If they came to my school they would see the effect on the younger generation. Especially the fourteen and fifteen year olds seem enthusiastic. Half our parents our out of work. We need to believe in something.

I’ll be upgrading the look of our site over the next month or so. And I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you want to see, or not. So I’ll be posting some polls once in a while to better tailor it to our readers needs.

25-year old Luca Venezia, aka Drop The Lime, has influences that range from Brian Eno to rockabilly (he’s well known for his 50s doo wop and soul sets) to Sonic Youth to Wu Tang. But things don’t just stop there. He also runs Trouble & Bass, an influential New York club night and label since 2006. The Trouble & Bass crew are the DJs who are defining a new New York sound. 2008 has been a year of serious breakthroughs for Drop the Lime; a moment when the talented lad who stuck to his guns in making bass heavy tunes to slay dancefloors all over the world has finally started to make it to the bigtime. London superclub Fabric were so gobsmacked by his DJ skills and vocals (yep, he sings like a bad boy Sinatra as he plays) that they instantly offered him a Main Room residency — a move that packs the club out every time. He’s also somehow found the time to complete remixes for Moby, Blaqstarr, Rex the Dog and Midnight Juggernauts, as well as writing songs with Diplo and Herve. No wonder the likes of MSTRKRFT, DJ Mehdi, Switch, Diplo, Sinden and ATrak are raving about him.
Here’s a great interview that XLR8R did with him, what a ham!
What I love about him is his wide ranging styles of production. For gods sake, he started off in the breakcore scene. He’s als0 got some solid support from locals Beyonda and Hoop Dreams
Tuesday 10 February, 9pm, $7, at Holocene.
here’s a mixtape of his: Drop the Lime on the XLR8R Podcast 11-15-07
Here’s some tracks:

Discovering Messer Chups is not without its perks. It all started with a breif mention in this month’s XLR8R. A look into their website reveals their amazing surf-sample sound; and, when you try to turn the audio off, Zombies yell at you(!). Not to mention their ‘Gallery’ section which has a link to photos, as well as pictures. Am I missing something?

Another day, another release by the Boredoms in their Super Roots Series. Today we have Super Roots 10, which has officially sold out in Japan, the only place it was pressed. As there have been no press statements by Thrill Jockey, or any indication that this release will see the light of day beyond way over priced E-bay auctions, here it is all for you.
Boredoms – Super Roots 10

Despite having a number of remixes this actually flows like a really decent little album. Certainly more acessible than one might normally consider Boredoms, but hey Lindstrom tends to have that effect on songs. And, finally we can forgive Altz for the terrible Max Motion EP.

A few of my friends and I decided to get out of Portland for a night and do something fun and random. There happened to be an rave that night in Renton, Washington. It sounded interesting and funny, a good chance to check in on the new generation of ravers.
We should have know what we were in for since the party was called “Slave to the Rave” and held in a skate park located deep in a suburb of Seattle.
The music was extremely hard, hard house to jump step, DJ’s with costumes and hundreds of kids under sixteen. We met some nice people, a lot of scary people and went to an extremely sketchy after party in Tacoma.
Along the way we handed out a lot of stickers, saw way too many fourteen year olds covered in candy and glow sticks and remembered everything wonderful and terrible about the suburban rave scene.
Here are the pictures.
