one song to not forget

This is not a particularly new mix and I imagine you dismissed the original a year ago. However some combinations of music need to be saved and appreciated, refreshed back to the top of your Itunes. I am a sucker for pop music and heavy synth, for catchy beats and crowd familiarity. And I safely assume you are the same.

lollipops are from Venice – Kanye West vs the Bloody Beetroots – DJ Gray mashup

Here’s a new mashup I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks.  I was very much inspired by The Hood Internet, but I found it impossible to DJ with the version found on thier third mix tape, so I made my own , which includes a couple more guest vocals by Kanye West and Trix, and I’m giving to you in a 320kpbs format.  Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you think you can make a better edit,  I’ve included the original instrumental and acappella elements (& video’s after the jump) for you to make your own mashup.

The funniest shit I’ve seen all month

2 Comments »

Somehow I’ve totally missed out knowing about this trio of SNL comedians who go by the name of the The Lonely Island and will be releasing their new album Incredibad, which is now in stores and online for sale.   TimesOnline wrote a great article about the Lonely Island.

Thank god DJ Kue remixed their track “I’m on a Boat” so that I gave it a chance.  I love the fact that T-Pain guests on this track, fully confirming that he’s in on the joke of his popularity and public persona.  My favorite line has got to be T-Pains

“I never thought I’d be on a boat / it’s a big blue watery road / Poooooseeeeiden !/  Look at me! / oh woh / I’d never thought I’d see the day/ When a big boat’d come my way/ Believe me when I say / I FUCKED A MERMAID!”

Holy shit, that’s genius.

and of course, you already have this track cuz Kellen dropped it on you 2 months ago, but here it is again with the video.

And then of course there’s this parody of the Ying Yang Twins that really make me question why their Whisper Song ever made it on the radio in the first place.

Kid Cudi – Day n’ Nite remixes

11 Comments »

kid_cudi_01

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

Here’s some right-click remix madness for you:

if you click here, you can buy most of these tracks as a super high quality .wav format

Not really remixes, just different rappers going over the original beat:

New Mix by DJ Gray – FidgetaLove Oct. 08

13 Comments »

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.

FidgetHouse/DirtyElectro Mix – DJ Gray, or download as individual MP3 tracks to easily skip through tracks (comes as a .zip file)

Track listings available after the jump.

Splitting the Difference

1 Comment »

Gavin Burrows is a producer and DJ from Derby in Northern England. His tracks will fit nicely into any and all playlists that bridge the gap between tech-house and the world of fidget and bangers (click on the image above to visit his myspace page where you can download two of his mixes, both of which vindicate the above claim). While he cites Justice, Daft Punk, and many other usual suspects amongst his influences, these tracks are distinctive insofar as they lean more towards the traditional house side of the sonic spectrum (and towards the techy side of that spectrum as well). He already has a number of tracks and remixes released, however, the tracks posted below are still being shopped around for release as The Eagle Has Landed EP. He is presently planning a U.S. tour for the upcoming summer, so keep your eyes peeled.

in case you didn’t know Jokers of the Scene – tons o mixes

2 Comments »

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 :)

Noisy and Poppy Electro Mix

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.
