So though the booty sound has fallen out of disfavor here in the states to make way for the overpowering womp, ghetto style is alive and well and France thanks to several crews such as Bros Before Hoes and BootyCall. Jeanville, the man behind this mix, is one of my favorite because of his fast tempo, modern rap acappella is, manic techno, and his layering of vocal flows from Uffie to the classic Boom Boom Boom by the Outhere Brothers.
I had the pleasure & honor of having DJ Ravicher play at my birthday celebration. David Ravicher, who’s hometown is Portland but now lives in Mt Shasta, made this mix somewhat as an attempt to win himself a spot playing at the infamous 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami. So, if you like this mix, go to the originating page and vote for it by clicking the stars underneath the album cover.
holy shit, my mind is just absolutely blown away with how fast and furious Chase & Status have mixed so many new dubstep and drum & bass banger tracks into just five minutes. Yes, this Annie Mac Radio 1 mix isn’t something new, it’s over a year old, but it’s new to me, as I just got their amazing album, More Than a Lot. I only wish that this didn’t end with their track “Pieces” since it reminds me of some crappy alternative rock band.

Portland folks may remember DJ Kue from when we brought him to town last fall. This mixtape shit is so goddamn hyped up electroCrunk, full of amazing RapClash splendor, blast it right away.
Every morning, I wake up to the local community radio station KBOO, which is airing the political news show Democracy Now. Most days, it’s filled with stories like how there has been 1900 deaths in Gaza in the past 30 days, stories and news that encourage me to get up and do inspiring work in the world because without a concerted effort by mindful people like myself, injustice and oppression may prevail.
Today was a different day. Today I woke up to the inauguration speech of Barack Obama, a man in which so many Americans and people worldwide have placed so much hope that we may turn back the tide of oppression, ignorance, violence, and ecological destruction that the previous administration has ushered in. I woke up smiling. I woke up believing that this is actually a possibility. I truly believe that Barack Obama is a good man with great intentions. How well he is able to implement these policy changes and usher in a new ideological paradigm, that we will have to see. He’ll be fighting against the mammoth force of the federal government bureaucracy’s resistance to change and corporate interests undermining his efforts along the way.
Amy Goodman, the main journalist for Democracy Now, related the story of Obama at a small fundraising gathering in which the issue of the recent Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip was brought up. Not going to much into it, in essence, his response was “I agree with you, but you will have to make me.” Which to me means, that this administration will actually listen to the needs and opinions of the citizens, and it needs us to do this to keep them on track.
My mother and sister were lucky enough to get tickets to the inauguration. They said how it was amazing to be among a million people with hope in their hearts and smiles on their faces. My mom said how, in order to get a better look at the tiny figures on the stage, there was a crowd who broke down several fences in order to get closer. The cops, rather than responding in riot police fashion, allowed this to happen when it was clear that this was a nonviolent group.
So with that, I present to you the The Historical Barack Obama Inaugaration Mixtape, mixed by Pcutta. Credit goes to mp3hustle.com for bringing this to my attention. Track listings after the jump.
I’ve been rocking this on my mp3 player for about 9 months. Now that I’ve found a tracklisting, I’m ready to recommend it with 5 stars. Moonbootica is one of my favorite deep electro house groups. Their release of Moonlight Welfare was one of my favorite albums of 2008, which really stood out with the track Joan Landor.

In celebration of the election, I’m releasing a new mix I have been hard at work at for the past several weeks. “For several weeks?!” you say? yes, that’s right, I’ve been building it bit by bit using Traktor DJ studio 3.4. I don’t care what you say about replicating the authenticity of a live set, this mix is awesome and all the levels sound spot on because I can go back to any point in the mix and change the frequencies as much as I need.
So here it is, my “Fidgetal Love October 2008 mix.” For you Portlanders, if you like this, come to ElectriCity this Friday and every Friday after that; you’re likely to hear much of the same.
At our show Friday, we were really excited to announce that we’d booked Jokers of the Scene to play in November. But then a whole bunch of stuff happened, and that’s not going to happen. But if you don’t already know about them, you really should.
JOKERS OF THE SCENE are from Ottawa Canada, and are on Fool’s Gold, djs A-Track and Nick Catchdubs label . They’ve being putting out some amazing remixes, and a few of their own original tracks as well. I’d classify them in the fidget genre, though they’ve also got some epic electrotech productions, and their remix of SLUTT’s “Stop Copying Me” is pure brash noise. I played it last friday, and everyone hated me
Diggy has been holding it down for sometime, performing at and helping to put on The Fix and Rockbox, two of the most popular and dependable parties in town. He plays out on vinyl and made this mix on the same. FREE MIXTAPE DELIVERED BY HECKLEWOOD, 360 VINYL & THE FIX
Sometimes it’s nice to put aside, all the tweaked out noise, smash you in the face of fidget, and just relax with a nice HiJack house mix. good times. happy. bouncy. a totally solid mix of keep you going in good spirits. This crew from london has some other good mixes out there too, like the mix from june. HiJack’s September Mix (zShare)
Kill the Noise is an amazing producer/remixer/dj that will be gracing our fair city in a few weeks thanks to fubar. He also happens to be the man behind the amazing mashup project, ludachrist. Check out this amazing video of a live ludachrist concert featuring a dancing spongebob and barney!
KILL THE NOISE Presents: TURN OFF / TUNE IN – VOL. 2
Adam is a relatively new face around town, a transplant from Eugene who spent too much money on vinyl until his boss bought him Serato. Now he has been quickly embraced by the crew at FBM as a friend and soon to be fellow DJ- playing with us on Oct. 17th downstairs from the Kill The Noise show.
Here is a mix he made which is, quite, minimal and impressive. MINIMAL TO THE EXXXTREME

This shit is hyper fast, and features the best ghettotech turntablist action i’ve heard, except of course what you’ll hear at the upcoming DJ Assault show this upcoming friday at Branx. (plug plug plug!)
No, seriously, DJ Godfather’s skills are hella good. DJ Godfather (Brian Jeffries) comes from Detroit Michigan, and thus was one of my main influences, growing up in the region. I highly recommend buying one of his mixtapes in the “da bomb” series.
He is the co-owner of the Twilight 76 Records label with sublabels like: Databass Records, Juke Trax, and D.E.T. Only; these labels pioneered Ghettotech and made it famous outside Detroit.
As you may have figured out, I like to promote DJ’s who haven’t gotten so much love, perhaps because they’re primarily dj’s, rather than producers (like me). So here’s my latest promotion, of a french dj by the damn of Dactylo. Besides the fact it freatures noisy grinding electro, he really pays attention to transition timing and buildups.
I just got back from burning man, where I was finally able to see the legendary Carl Cox spin an awesome hard banging techno set, as well as see Adam Freeland spin a set mostly composed of tracks off of the Ed Banger label.
One of the tracks I heard out there was an awesome remix of Bangers and Cash “BOOTAY.” I spent all day today tracking it down. I discovered that the “Bootay Bitch Beat” remix was done by a crew by the name of Megasoid. Investigating this group led me to an mixtape composed purely of their remixes.

FBM is a blog written about all kinds of music. We often focus on small acts and DJs, promoting and loving what we consider to be the very best in Indy, Dubstep, House and far beyond. We are a collective of (currently) unpaid kids based out of Portland Oregon. We urge you to support this music and hence we will provide the the most accurate show listings and heads up on things to do in Portland.
This is all those things but more then anything else this is about community, about having as many authors contributing as much as possible and promoting all of our friends. I believe in politics as still being important and I believe in this generation still being relevant. Our culture is all we have.
Almost all of this music is sent to us by the creator and is entirely legal to download, if something slips through the cracks and you are the owner of a soundfile you wish removed, simply email us. Thank you.
