Buffet Libre saved my life

I have more than 1 reason to be thankful for these guys right now. Pizza, double cheeseburgers, spaghetti, delicious… all you can eat in Buffet Libre.
1.
For the past year or so, these guys from Spain have been putting out some of the most tasteful mixtapes I’ve laid ears on (aka the Verbena series). It’s less of the ‘computer mixing trickery’ and more of just straight pure awesome track selection. The mixing is smooth, to the point, and seamless. No tacky trickery here to make up for the mindless process of building your tracklist around what ‘the blogs you follow on hypem‘ post weekly.
2.
Today after my hellish first block of finals, I was looking for some relief and Marc from Buffet Libre was chillin in my mailbox to the rescue. I may not have ever mentioned here, but for the past months, a song has been haunting my memory. Ever since the day I tried to remember the title of it to play at a party. It would NOT come to me. From then on, a day hasn’t passed without me hearing the intro/vocals/rhythm of that mystery song.
That went on for about 3 months………and finally ended today. All thanks to…
Verbena Selected vol. 4. (right click, save as). Tracklist is after the break.
If any of you guys are in Barcelona, Mardrid or Outer Space, make sure you check these spots out.

OH, and that one track that was stuck in my head FOREVER was from both paris natives–
The Shoes - Knock Out (Tom Deluxx Remix)
I can’t believe I forgot the artist/title of this track. It’s even 4 starred in my library. I’ve even blogged about The Shoes before. Hmm funny, that was right around finals time as well. anyways. time to study more.
it was about this time last year

It was about this time last year when I was fanboy-izing over the eminent Justice LP release.
Spring brings
Ed Banger flings.
It’s about that time again, and for their 5th year in existence, they’ve decided to put together Ed Rec Vol. III.
Yeah, it’s pretty good. More of the same guys, making some exquisitely new sounding shit and it’s just loveable.
Disco metal champion, Mr. Flash, goes “Over the Top” and it’s, ummmmmm pretty unbelievable/awesome/proper/tally ho.
Get the teaser mixed by Feadz over at missingtoof
When this track first breaks the main rhythm transition into the guitars I get retro metal shivers!!! (chivers?)
Mr. Flash - Over the Top
forget whatever you were just thinking

sebastiAn called, he wants you to start disco dancing ASAP. It’s imperative.
The track has signature sebastiAn breaks, decaying snares, and whining synths. He definitely steps up his game in the soul/funk division with some Shaft status strings/trumpets/guitars.
This track will be out on the latest sebastiAn EP/sampler called MMA, out on who else…ed banger soulja boy records
This is why you need to forget what you once knew, and learn how to listen again.
love,
this guy.
looks like someone has a case of the mondays

I woke to a chilly morning and rode my bike through the dense layer of tingling moisture to school. Same as every Monday morning. This Monday was destined to be different I thought.
Lo and behold, when I come home, what’s waiting for me? DAFT PUNK‘S ALIVE2007!!! I was beyond excited.
So. After the 5 or so hours I’ve been home, I’ve given the album 3 complete run throughs, (yes, including the encore disc).
verdict: daft punk live is apocalypse. in a good way.
Sorry that I don’t have more to say on this matter. Just buy/preorder it depending on where you live.
I was so hyped on this that I made a headache-induced, really poorly mixed, minimix. say that 10 times fast.
listen to it.
TUFTSMANIA - Monday Night Headache Banging
the illest trigger fingers you ever saw
