I hit mix tape gold. This is the CD I’ll be playing before I hit the club, while I work on professional projects, and it’s shaping up to be the soundtrack of summer. The lyrics in this podcast are covering all the romance and drama in my life so perfectly, so of course I got to share

This mix is brought to you by DJ Edgartronic

I’ll introduce his style by a quote off his Myspace is ” Please, no wedding DJ inquiries (unless you want your wedding music to consist of electro, indie & rock remixes and some 80s).”

It was done for Faction 6, hosted by DJ Narcolept, who describe themselves as:

“We are independently owned and operated. We are not guided by persuasive music labels and all shows are commercial free. Every show is 100% free for download on iTunes. Faction-6 invites you to turn off your radio and turn yourself onto our shows.”

Here’s the track listing if you want to peep it before downloading and my ever famous youtube emeds:

One of the songs in the mix (wrong version though) but I gotta add it because the lyrics are exactly what I’m doing in the club (minus the drug references lol)

“I’m getting tired and i’m sweaty,
but i still want to touch you if you let me.
Because we hugged a few times
it was special
and we’ll be working all night cause its pumping.
And you were special

My hand slipped into your hand,
and it was awesome
and you were special.”

BONUS:

I wanted to give a shout out to this FR*A fan spotted at a curry and adobo bday party.

I heard out about Blue Scholars not too long ago through Evil Monito Magazine. Since then I’ve been a huge fan of the Seattle based hip hop duo.

I just checked out their new album, “Bayani” (Tagalog translates as “Hero” and in Farsi as “The Divine Word”), and must say the experience was amazing.

Real lyrics, covering everything from politics to spirituality crossed by flawless beats, makes this one of indie-rap at its finest.

If you’ve been catching the electropop wave, Sam Sparro is riding giants.

Born in Sydney, Australia, Sparro’s family moved to Los Angeles, where his father signed a recording contract. It was there where Sam Sparro’s early talent in music was discovered, having the likes of Chaka Khan becoming one of the early ones to unearth his gift. After leaving Los Angeles, back to Sydney to work at a public relations firm, Sam found himself in the UK where his music would soon launch. During the darkest period of his life working in coffee shops in England, Sam wrote “Black and Gold”, which subsequently rose to #2 on the UK Singles Charts. On the giant wave of electropop, Sam Sparro is looking to ride.
