I’m headed to a New Years Eve party in Brooklyn tonight and was asked if I had a danceable version of “Auld Lang Syne” to drop at midnigt. I didn’t. Instead I made this medly of some memorable pop hits from the last decade, kicked off by a classic, Glen Miller version of “Auld.” Enjoy, and happy new year! MP3…

DJ C @ Beat Research
The Bassic party at Goodlife rocked! Thanks to all those who came out and danced, and to Jam2 and Dabu for holding down the decks with me. At the end of the night the lights came on but the crowd was not done, and neither was I, so it’s to be continued this Monday night at the Beat Research party,…
The Squire of Gothos
I’ve been lovin’ these guys’ bassline raver tracks. They just sent over the DJ mix below which is a great showcase of their sound. A couple of their tracks are posted for free DL over at Palms Out Sounds and they’re definitely worth checkin’, but I highly recommend their digi-EP called “Rave Lord” which is available at Juno Download ->…
Chrissy M-Bot Recession Mixtape!
Hi everybody! It’s been a really long while….I’ve been out in Europe on tour, and then back in the states working on a new album, moving into a new apartment, and doing a LOT of job-hunting and penny-pinching. Actually, it seems like everybody has been doing that, to not much avail, so I’ve whipped up this handy dandy little recession…
This Month in America
Earlier this month Barack Obama won the US Presidency. At Grant Park in Chicago hundreds of thousands of people celebrated in unity as he gave his victory speach.

DJ Elected
Last time I was touring around Europe DJ Elected invited me to play at one of his Harlem Jungle parties in Amsterdam. I can’t remember exactly how we made contact, but I hadn’t been aware of his music before that. Since that time I’ve become a big fan. He’s been producing and releasing some serious tunes on his Sirkus Recordings…

Spreading the Virus With “Paper Planes”
Wayne pointed out this post on Vibe’s blog about the abundance of M.I.A. “Paper Planes” remixes floating around. I had already collected a bunch over the past year, but recently they’ve been popping up like mushrooms on shit after a rain storm. Many of them seem to be legit/official (or semi-official) versions featuring prominent rappers like 50 Cent, Jim Jones,…
DJ Flack to Rock the Good Life
Our boy DJ Flack has been organizing a set of 2/dub/bass-step slammers for to rock the house at The Good Life in Boston on Wed: In the past year and a half, there’s been a small explosion of club nights in Boston devoted to bass-centric genres first spawned in the clubs of London: bassline, 2-step, and (most famously) dub step”…
