Fox n Wolf - Young Alcoholic (Etienne de Crecy Remix)

Stumbled across this on iTunes. Been out for a month or so but i still though it was an excellent remix. For your listening pleasure....

The Gossip - Yr Mangled Heart (Guns N Bombs Trashbags Mix)

Blatantly taken from Missing Toof. It was just too good though. I couldn't help it. I'm addicted to excellent remixes of The Gossip. Not to mention I have a thing for girls in blue Spandex. 

The remixers on his track, Guns n Bombs, are excellent producers and have put out great work such as their remix of Chromeo's Fancy Footwork earlier this year. I expect to hearing this track more and more in the very near future...

Surkin "Fireworks Reloaded"

Surkin was just in LA last saturday and killed it as usual. Def one my favorite producers/DJs of the moment. Leave to the french once again. Check out a remix of his classic "Radio Fireworks" as well as the original.

Check him out on his Myspace and on Verb.com

New Contributor: Agent Lover

Gahahahaa omg this photo. It kill, it Kills!

I don't heart many people like I heart my friend Agent Lover. Her photos make me cry, and her tastes in music and art are Sextastic. She is, and always we be, the only other Panda I know.

I'm proud to announce that Agent Lover will be joining the ranks of the homeless living in Hell's Basement. Look out in the coming weeks for great photos, music, music news, or whatever else the hell she feels like! Love you Panda!

PS Post info on Titmas!!

Launch the Belarus

Please enjoy Hell's Basement's latest sonic offering appropriately entitled, 'Belarus' from one of the more underrated albums of the year - "Drums and Guns" by Duluth MN's very own Low.

Low - Belarus 

New Contributor: Sovetskaya

I am proud to announce the newest resident of Hell's Basement:

Straight from mother Russia, SOVETSKAYA!

There wouldn't be a Black Friday or Hell's Basement without a day of messing around in Sovetskaya's room tweaking knobs, playing Korgs, and playing one of the filthiest DJ sets I've ever recorded (mp3 coming soon).

This man likes his music. Expect a more noisy/experemental/laidback/whatever the fuck he wants kind of vibe. Sove also takes some great pic. Hell's Basement is proud to add Sove to the ranks of the homeless. God Bless.

Because I'm an attention whore....

Another link to my latest live DJ set. Posted a couple days ago but didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle. 

Live From Hell's Basement Volume 1

PS. Love the sweater darlin! 

Burial - Archangel (Boy 8-bits Simple Mix)

Something about this track blows just blows us away. So soulful it feels like it's straight out of the mid-90's but its also undeniable in  its power and grace. No big surprise considering the original comes from electronic music's current forerunner Burial. Peep a very good quality copy of the new album "Untrue" at Bleep.com or just go out and buy the CD. This one is worth the price and effort.

Autokratz

It would really be a crime not to give the UK's Autokratz their own blog entry. There is something wholly original about their sound and I'm expecting big things from them. I am really enjoying the new remix of Make Model's "The Was". Dark and mood until it breaks out into sing along fun.

Make Model - The Was (Autokratz Remix)

Also, just in case you missed it somewhere else here is a copy of their excellent track "It's On". Recently used in a live set and IT KILLS like OJ. Make sure to get yourself a 320 of "It's On" over at BEATPORT and I think its also on iTunes although I could be wrong.

Autokratz - It's On

Their Myspace also says they'll be touring the US in March '08. Mark your calenders. It's a can't miss.

WWMSD?

I have this strange feeling that my friend Marie of Agentlover.com will be making so many appearances on this blog that I might as well list her as a contributor. Speaking of contributers, I'm all about it! Mainly, a couple photo contributers (Kev? Panda?) and a music video contributer as I listen, dj, yet hardly watch and/or look. Perhaps another music contributor?

Got a great remix by MSTRKRFT's JFK from Missing Toof. You should check out Missing Toof if you get a sec. The music there is ALWAYS good.

Mr. Miyagi - Pick Your Poison (JFK Remix)

CLASSIX -Dial 1

Formally Young Americans, The newly named, LA based CLASSIX (better name anyway) just released a track that is quickly quickly becoming a personal favorite. I like starting sets off with songs like these. Fun, funky, lots of energy and great vocals. Check out more of the their stuff and show dates on their myspace.

Party Like It's 2004 (2D Micromix)

I recently permanently borrowed a pair of Beowulf 3D glasses from my pal Bryan. I am happy to tell you that I have gained the ability to DJ three-dimensionally. Needless to say, my upcoming mixes will now be presented in 3D. As for sound quality....ummmm.

Before I had this amazing ability, I still gave my mixes the college try. Below is a mix from my Ventura/Santa Barbara DJ days circa 2004-2005. 

It feels like just yesterday people were just getting excited about Annie, The Knife, etc. Not much has changed if you ask me. Just the same music getting better and better through the years.

Be Forewarned: This mix is in 2D, has a level problem or two, and is a dance party explosion. BOOOOOOM!

Party Like It's 2004 (2D Micromix) 

Grab Bag 1

Of all the tracks I never got hear on a big floor this year, I think this track takes the cake. Rogue Element's remix of Culprit 1's "Tricks" was played constantly in my car for about a month. It drove my girlfriend crazy. After hearing the track my taste in dance music got so loud and dirty that my mixes in the subsequent weeks were how you say.... unlistenable. Electro Banger? I hardly even know her! Ahahaha that's you Larry....

Culprit 1 - Tricks (Rogue Element Remix)

Still keep an eye on Rogue Element though. I still think he has some suprises up his sleeve. Check his Myspace...

Also some bonus future retro for you on this fine tuesday morning...

Tim Le El - Forward

Michael Jackson - Wanna Be (Streetlife DJs Cut n Run Edit)

20 Fingers - Short Dick Man (RFH Delfos Remix)

Snoop Dogg Hearts Roger from ZAPP

I for one am amazed. It was the only way Snoop could evolve and he went for it full force. He woke up one day and said "This Shizle needs some vocodizle"

This video is the best I've seen in a while and every time I watch it I can't help but think about Roger & Zapp. Zapp helped champion the vocoder love funk sound in the 80's and their sounds as fresh as the day it was made. THAT SIR IS A LIE. 

Roger & Zapp - Computer Love 

Live From Hell's Basement - Volume 1

I'm starting this series off with a bang! Boys and Ghouls, I'm proud to present the 1st in a series of live DJ sets I think you'll really like. More than just throwing full songs together, Live From Hell's Basement is more on a "tearing madly through songs in order to ignite dance floor explosion" kind of vibe. Something the homeless can dance to, you know? 

A true dedication to the days of dance past (Hello Panda!) and the days of dance future (Hello LA!). I hope it leaves you fully rocked.

Pt. 2 Coming Soon......

When steroids were acceptable "The Golden Ages"

I am beyond pumped, jazzed, and psyched at the notion of seeing AMERICAN GLADIATORS live next Saturday!!! HELLZ YES! To get myself pumped up I watch what is considered the greatest Gladiator finish of ALL TIME. Watch and enjoy.

PS. I am of the belief that Kap10Kurt should perform music while the gladiators race. The trick is to start the video below right when the race starts.... ahaha

In The Beginning.....

First Blog, First post.

Welcome friends new and old. In the upcoming months I hope to provide you with a steady stream of the best music being made as well as DJ mixes from myself and others. In addition to music expect random musings and the occasional rant. If you make music or Dj yourself, send me your shit and I'll put it up! Hail Satan.

PS. "Live From Hell's Basement Volume 1" Coming very soon!
