Mansions on the Moon- Paradise Falls Mixtape



Merry Christmas and 816 to all Bondies. Things are looking up for BB in the New Year. We have a new crew of "study" abroad students all set to invade the campus, the weather is sweltering hot, and I finally got my Ray Bans replaced!
It's bloody cold in Canadia but thankfully I have a mixtape to drive to in the MoTM Paradise Falls Mixtape. Featuring the likes of Chiddy Bang, Deadmau5 and Washed Out and Presented by none other than the legendary musical tastemaker Diplo, this dreamy slice of tune-age drifts perfectly with a drive through snowy peaked mountain tops. Enjoy it everybody.

Klaas Is Out

Introducing my favourite German DJ, Klaas Gerling. This guy has been around for a while, but hadn't really caught my attention until I heard "Bodybangers" a few weeks back. Since then I've been obsessed; he just knows what the party wants to hear. Mixing under the Scream & Shout label, Klaas has remixed power houses such as Armen Van Helden and Michael Mind instantly earning him respect in the world of music. Four days until class is out! Dance Bondies, dance!

Mighty Mouse says study!



All work no play makes Bondie Beats a dull blog. But exam time sadly means a kink in the hose for music, for now.
But lets get the water flowing, at least till the next exam.

Had a lengthy train journey back from brisbane and put on a mix without looking at the tracklisting or really knowing who it was by and I’m very, very happy I did.

I’m only 3/4 of the way through and it’s been a rollercoaster of energy.

Proper productive stuff considering the amount of work I’ve done whilst it’s been on. This could be the perfect study mix.

Top marks Mighty Mouse!

Move Over Milk Man

The general consensus throughout the uni community is that Girl Talk is the best mash-up artist; I for one disagree with this opinion. Girl Talk is considered to be the best because he markets himself phenomenally, not because of his talent. Now don't get me wrong the guy is pretty good, but there are others in the mash-up scene that do it better and deserve recognition. Super Mash Bros and the Milkman were introduced to me about a year ago by a drunken belligerent legend named Randy; they have remained my favorite mash-up artists since. They are always touring around the states so all you Americans keep an eye out when you're doomed to return home. I would also like to invite my fellow bloggers to share some of their favorite mash-up artists, lets get it goin!

EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE GREAT LETS TAKE MORE DRUGS



Eyeballs and earballs are pointed in the general direction of Tensnake after he peeled off Comacat (Yes ill give it to you) which inadvertently became THE dance anthem of 2010. One of those tracks that smuggled its way back from the sunny Balearic’s onto the Australian shores to brighten up our tupperware skies. Here mister Tensnake exercises a more subtle. slow burn approach to an early AM anthemic drop . Beautiful, swelling synths and warm a dunder headed bassline meet with motor-city strings to absolutely justify your deplorable behaviour and makes staying up for another 24 hours seem like a really fucking good idea.

Tiesto.....



"It was like he was standing at the podium talking to me telling me it would be all right; that everything would be all right." - anonymous Bondie.

Tiesto blew minds at the Sydney and Brisbane episodes of Stereosonic. That is a fact. It lives with such related facts as "Ocean water is salty" and "Herpes is bad". But the acknowledgement of this fact came as a suprise to a few Stereosonic Bondies. How could this Dutch Wunderkind make so many minds melt?

Well as a tremor to a far greater earthquake that I was not a part of, I offer to you some of my favorite DJ Tiesto mixtapes. Started back in the 90s, the In Search of Sunrise Series is one of the Iconic mix series out there. My personal favorite, and something that I'm going to share with you now, is his 6th release, In Search of Sunrise Vol. 6: Ibiza. Try to picture a sunset set on the beach somewhere warm and Mediterranean, with a group of mostly naked party goers from all over the world, enjoying the waves of sonic awesome rolling over them. Who's ready for a journey?!

Tiesto - In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza (CD 1)

And, probably his most famous track out there, an uber Euro trancy take on "Adagio for Strings". Face, prepare to be melted......

Throwback - This Will Make You Happy




These tracks will make any dance-floor that much happier. As soon as one of them pops on there will be smiled and energy all around. The synth work, pulsating beat, and smooth vocal combo creates a sound similar to that of Bob Marley‘s track Sun Is Shining (Fatboy Slim Remix posted below). Even the optimistic lyrics add to the right brightness that this song creates, setting a perfect mood for the listener. The five year old track, ' Lets get down' which reached #1 in charts in Spain, uses the perfect mix of reggae, hip hop, and dance to create an amazing classic. Supafly’s track Moving Too Fast, another hit, is also posted as a bonus below. You will undoubtedly enjoy.

Lucky Date



This track, that I present to you to has all! Sirens yelling and Incremental bass drops throughout the track, backed up with amazing reverbs only to lead to one apocalyptic style drop that is sure to wake the dead. Is that the end you ask? NO he says! to pop a cherry on top, this track slips right into some strange, mutated, sexy dub step...thing that frankenstein crater would be envious of.

DJ/Producer – Jordan Atkins-Loria aka Lucky Date, has remixed this Spencer & Hill track – coating it in gold. As well as working on his own sounds, Lucky Date is also a synth engineer and has worked with french star David Guetta on some of his tracks. If this tracks anything to go by, Lucky Date is showing that he really knows what he’s doing.


I give you

Spencer & Hill – Dub Disco (Lucky Date Remix)


BONUS - Bossasaurus Is an unsigned duo how are really starting to impress with what they have been producing. The duo specialize in a unique form of rapping an inch from peoples' faces and peeing in their household appliances. I’m not all for hip-hop, so I was a bit taken back when I took a look at the band, but they actually have pretty great remixes. Check them out on Facebook.

BREAKDOWN



Break. Down. The. Party.
Seriously, this duo of LA fame waves the Cali flag of massive tunes and drops that are likely to put some people into cardiac arrest. Even in my headphones during a library break I can sense that the people around me know something is different; that something is happening over here.
Of course it could be because my headphones are too loud. Fuck it.
This tag team of music makers has been making headway in the electro house remix scene and has been getting support from the likes of David Guetta and Dada Life for their releases and remixes. What caught my eye (but mostly my ears) was a banging good remix of my current analogue dirty dream du jour, Daft Punk's Derezzed. Sure to be hearing more from these guy in 2011 with a prospective list of live dates all over the states.

Comeandgetit!

HARD AND SOFT



MASSIVE ELECTRO RELEASE – Finally released into the wild , the much hyped F2L remix of Uffies MC’s Can Kiss lands smack bang in your lap. Ka-ching.

Uffie – MC’s Can Kiss (Far Too Loud Re-fix) 320kbps Download



EPIC PROG HOUSE REFIX - Soundprank makes good on his previous threats of lush production with this bootleg of Spooky- Belong. One of the best tracks on the cult Involver mix, one of the pioneering live/studio Ableton mixes. Everyone should have a copy. …..It.is.audio.bliss. The original of Belong can also be found on the Spooky studio album Open which should be avoided at all costs.
