Lazer-Bass
Megasoid; Tank Thong Remix Tape [audio:https://archive.mashit.com/audio/TANK%20THONG%20MIXTAPE.mp3] I was reading the New Yorker this week and came across an article by Sasha Frere-Jones in which he coined the term “lazer bass” to describe the music of Montreal-based party crew Megasoid. Ghislain Poirier used to call the genre “big asshole bass” or “big ass bass.” accurate descriptions but less likely to fly…

DJ C Live in Milwaukee DJ Mix
Photo by Jeekoos Last month I DJed the Sublow Bounce party in Milwaukee. It was a blast and the kind folks who put it together also recorded my set. I’m not sure weather I should be happy about that or not ’cause it features drunken mixing and Serato glitching when folks were jumping up and down on the wood floors…

DJ Mix: Squincy Jones; “Nintendub”

In his words: I worked on this bad jackson for about 2-3 weeks. I had a couple beta versions I worked on and slowly kept adding to it. I’m…
