I’m sick of all the political ads, and pundit commentary that I’ve been subjected with over the past two plus years. I’m loving the fact that it’s all done with after today. Unless of course, the election is too close to call, and one of the candidates is a sore loser and drags this thing [...]

I was going through all my records yesterday and found a bunch of stuff that I hadn’t played yet. I guess that’s what happens you have multiple thrift shops and antique stores within walking distance. I think that I got this one in a dollar bin at some shop on The Avenue in Hampden. This [...]

So, here is the much anticipated Volume XXX Mixtape. Enjoy it and share it with everyone you know. The Volume XXX Mixtape – Mixed by The State (ZS) Track Listing: DJ Excel – All Night LongChavy Boys of London – Zoe JawnDJ Unk – In Yo Face (Scottie B Remix)KW Griff – Foot StompinGlitch – [...]

So, I braved the cold ass weather, and weeknight scheduling to attend the Fools Gold Show at Ottobar last night. I love my town, but WTF, Bmore dance-floor’s are normally some of the craziest in the country, with ass shaking madness, and plenty of stage crashing, but apparently not last night. I’m hoping everyone was [...]

Today I’ve got a whole group of stuff to give you guys to make up for five days without posting. Carmine P. Filthy hooked it up with a bunch of fidget tracks from Australia’s Runt Records. Some very nice stuff, and I can’t wait to get home and drop them into Serato. If your into [...]

I’m getting kind of hyped up about these shows that are on the horizon for Baltimore. They’re both free with RSVP and should be absolute chaos. First we have the Fool’s Gold CD Release Party at the Ottobar on October, 29th, then there is the Sinden Show at Sonar on November 17th. The fact that [...]

Here’s a fun one I got the other day from a great bunch of San Francisco based producers, The Fingermonsters. I’m not really sure how I should classify it, so we shall call it “unclassifiable.” It’s heavy on the sub-bass that all the kids are going crazy for these days. It gets all sorts of [...]

I know there are thousands of Daft Punk remixes, but I really just couldn’t help myself. I’ve been listening to a lot of mutant disco, DFA stuff, and Larry Levan. I think that’s pretty apparent after you listen to this track. Enjoy, and spread the word.Daft Punk – Technologic (The State Remix) (ZS)

So this song has been killing it for me all weekend. I’ve always been down with Dizzee Rascal, but most of the remixes that people do of his shit always fall a little short. This one completely destroys that last statement. Shazam comes with it quite hard this time out. It’s great hearing Dizz flow [...]

So my boy Impakt sent me this mix last week and I’ve been getting on him to let me post it. It’s thirty minutes of ass shaking madness, so if you’re having a bad case of the Mondays, this will surely help get you back on the up and up. In the words of Jean [...]

So there are these two guys from San Francisco called Windsurf, and they’ve cut this really great track called “Pocket Check.” It’s a cross between something off The Avalanche’s first record (minus all the samples), and some DFA stuff. It’s my post party jam of the weekend; a great song for the car ride/train ride [...]

VIMBY – Sam Sparro The good folks over at Vimby sent me this Sam Sparro Video the other day, and I though it may be of interest for some of you. Vimby’s a great video/blog site, with a bunch of different videos covering music, fashion, partying, and general mayhem. They also have a really expansive [...]

I just got a new one in from Budapest’s

I’ve been listening to this Bounce track all fucking day. It’s the perfect tempo (109 bpm’s) to get a set started. Plus, who knew that you could speed up Akon’s voice that much and still have it sound so dope.Akon – Clap Again (Gutta Bounce Remix) (ZS)

All day I’ve been going through my music trying to come up with something to post up on this silly thing. First, I was thinking old school disco, or maybe a couple of mash-ups I’ve been working on. Well, maybe I’ll put that stuff up tomorrow. Tonight its gonna be some House. Sometimes I forget [...]

Here is a little rework by Chicago’s Alex Rage. He does a great job adding a little bump to Chicago’s (The actual band, not the city.) “Street Player”. When the original first came out it completely bewildered most of the bands fan-base, but I think it’s great. I’ve had Alex’s version bumping out of my [...]

What is there to say about Alien Delon, except that he makes some great fucking dance tracks. He hails from Moscow and is currently turning out some of the most innovative beats that I’ve heard in a long while. You can visit his myspace for more info, and hopefully some intelligent promoter will book him [...]

One of my favorite Miami Bass producers is DJ Magic Mike. He’s being making tracks for twenty years, which is a pretty huge accomplishment in the hip hop/dance music scene. The great thing about his tracks is that they all sound so fresh. Songs he produced 15 years ago sound like they could have been [...]

Sorry I’ve been so lax on the posts lately. I’ve been searching for jobs in this shit economy, and for any of you in the same boat, it fucking sucks. I thought getting a degree would help my chances but, as of right now, not so much. I went on this really shitty interview yesterday [...]

I haven’t posted any videos in a long time. Well that’s gonna change right now. This guy I know out in Los Angeles has been making these John McCain spoofs for a couple months now, and they are fucking hilarious. The scary thing is that he may actually be thinking some of these things.

XLR8R has released a nice little podcast from Nick Catchdubs. For those unfarmiliar with Nick, he’s one of the founders of Fools Gold Records, and has been lighting up the NYC DJ scene for quite a while now. You can grab the podcast over at XLR8R’s website, which is right here.
