Ric of the UK’s Billion Dollar DJs just passed this mixtape over to me, but it’s not just any average DJ promo mixtape.
This mixtape has quite the interesting concept. All of the tracks on this mixtape had to be downloadable from the artist’s myspace. Sort of a Myspace-music-promo-mixtape.
Ric says,
Tracks were selected regardless of genre and includes electro synths, noisy guitars, French rapping (French rap is always so much cooler…) nu-rave and dirty house and all in all i would say it sounds like a sweaty houseparty.
BRILLIANT idea. I had to do a run-through of this mixtape to make sure it was A+. and yes. it was.
Hey, Ric, let’s throw a TUFTSMANIA x BDDJ’s party at the myspace office in Beverly Hills. YOU DOWN????

Australia, awesome, sneaky sound system.
I’ve of course blogged about awesome music from Australia many times in the past, as I have also mentioned the amazing Sneaky Sound System a time or two.
In the midst of all the studying I’m doing right now, –I mean, hard partying; I found time to finally post one of my favorite tracks from these handsome, electro loving australians. You may have heard it at the end of my last mixtape (if you allowed it to get that far).
ace synth rhythm, perfect vocals, dirty synth bass, hot girls, an acoustic surprise, australia.
listen now, for this is your future.
Sneaky Sound System - Pictures (tonite only remix)
ed: I’m nominating this as the TUFTSvsCITS official theme song?
sorry about the bass

Yeah, weird thing to say huh? Usually it’s “sorry about kicking you in the face”, or “sorry about sleeping with your girlfriend”, or “sorry about eating your last frozen burrito”, or “sorry about borrowing your phone and dropping it in the toilet”.
Well, here’s my latest recorded set from a couple nights ago.
It was a really fun night, mostly of recent favorite tracks, but I was having EQ/output line troubles throughout the night and a lot of the tracks have disgusting bass. uuuuggggghhhhh. 
to redeem my mishap, here’s the amazing un-butchered:
Delegation - It’s Your Turn (Treasure Fingers Edit) (right click, save as)
well enjoy mes amis.

mercurius is back (EXCITING NEW UPDATE)
November 8, 2007 | Filed Under music | 16 Comments
this is how mercurius makes the music.
This track just flew into my mailbox on FIRE –sexual fire. It’s a remix of Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing.
here’s what the man himself said,
Don’t worry, this isn’t a plastic cheese dance track with an acapella.
I tried very hard to retain the soul of the original track, down to
the overall melody..
I’ll buy that.
this remix makes me think of a daft punk production. wait, no, it makes me think of a Mercurius FM production. Word on the streets is Mercurius is working on a couple of EPs. Be on the lookout for these in the near future.
loving the bass line, well done arizona.

also make sure to check out my other post about mercurius FM. the chromeo remix is deadly!
