DJ Donna Summer (AKA Jason Forrest) asked me and a bunch of other crazies to remix his track Rock Rock Rock — the first single on his new Cock Rock Disco release Panther Tracks. The outcome is a 14-track, completely free download album of remixes by folks like Glowstyx, Aaron Spectre, Black Rabbit, and many more. It’s a wild variation…

Stepping-Steppers-Step
This post is inspired by a step-steeped day I had recently. While I was getting ready to head out for a night of dubSTEP with Caspa at Bass Goes Boom I was listening to the radio and learned that there’s a dance style called Chicago STEPping. From Wikipedia: Chicago stepping is a name given to a dance that has evolved…
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…
“Jumpfast” Van Halen, Supremes Mashup
Chapel Hill, NC-based Apple Juce Kid sent me his remix of Van Halen’s 1984 classic Jump a while back. He said I should feel free to re-remix it if I felt so inclined so I did. Well, actually I didn’t do much to it but lay the Supremes You Keep Me Hangin’ On acapella on top. Here’s what it sounds…

Track of the Week: Steak House Bodywork Bassline Mashup
In keeping with our last Track of the Week we bring you another bassline-house mashup, this time by Bristol, UK-based Steak House crew.

DJ Mix: Squincy Jones; “Nintendub”
This is crunkstep if I ever heard it. Houston, TX based Squincy Jones is on that screwed-dubstep-nintendo shit that you’ve heard in your dreams but you didn’t consciously realize existed yet. 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…

Speaking of Cumbia
The sounds of Central/South American cumbia have become a bit of an interweb phenom over the past year. This is no doubt due in large part to the extensive coverage on /rupture’s Mud Up blog. There’s now a steady stream of underground, electronic-dance-music influenced (less folk/traditional instrumentation) cumbia tracks bubbling up, and the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based crew Zizek Urban Beats…
Track of the Week: “Somebody’s a Flirt”
I wanted to have some new music for the FlosstraPROMus party; something at least slightly Valentine’s Day themed since the party fell on Feb. 14 (pictures here and here). What better combination than some adrenaline infused bassline-house with local Chi-Town hero R. Kelly’s vocals on top, I though to myself. Perhaps the lyrics to I’m a Flirt don’t capture the…
