Luvstep is upon us!

It’s finally out!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who’s listened to and enjoyed the mix pre-release—Joe and I shared the mix with lots of friends since it was finished back in October (woah right?) and no one leaked it! Well two of you did unintentionally but it was taken care of super quick so we can’t really blame you anyway. High fives all ‘round.

Would love to hear what yall think of the mix.. and if you ordered the gift package I’d love to hear how it was received. Happy Vday everyone!

Oh oh also (of course!), head over to the Mad Decent blog if you wanna cop the mix along with a Starkey interview and some exclusives from the man people have been aclamoring for..

If you’re in Philly come celebrate the release tonight at The Barbary, we’ll have copies of the mix along with Amber’s Valentine’s Day cards for the first 100 attendees.

My xx remix is up, finally!

Took me awhile to get around to posting this.. back in what, October I was trying to get The xx’s label to do something with this but never heard back from them. So I thought, well why not give it away, but the low end needed some serious attention my studio setup could not provide at the time. Fast forward a bit and I finally had some spare time to attend to this along with my newly-subwoofered studio setup. And here it is; enjoy!

The Jubilee and Star Eyes Experience

Some months back Jubilee and Star Eyes went on a Midwestern bass pilgrimage (visiting a Rad Summer warehouse party in Louisville, amongst other places), I gather it went a little something like this:

Playing throughout the video is Star Eyes’s interpretation of the Souixsie and the Banshees goth banger Happy House, expect that on her upcoming EP. Color me psyched.

As for Jess / 4AM Jess / Jubilee, she’s coming down from NY to play at The Barbary this week and at my Final Fridays party on the 26th—both free! I’d recommend attending each..

The Luvstep Valentine’s Day Gift Package

“I may not be a smart man, but I do know what <3 is…”

Have you heard of Luvstep? It’s a mix Dirty South Joe and I made that’s premiering pretty soon on Mad Decent Worldwide Radio. If dubstep is a tree with all sorts of subgenres going off in different directions as its branches, this mix is the heart carved on the side of the trunk.

Anyway, we’re teaming up with Amberella Gallery & Boutique to make a Luvstep gift package available! It comes with: a handmade card, a personal note of the sender’s specification, copious amounts of construction paper hearts, glitter, and we’ll be shipping ‘em out in time for Valentine’s Day! That’s when the mix comes out, so if you order you’ll both have this as a gift and be able to listen to the whole thing a little early.

We’ve been sending the mix out to friends and fam for awhile now but for those of you who haven’t heard any of it, here’s a small taste so you know this will be a good V-Day gift…

Order the gift package from LUVSTEP.COM; keep an eye over there for updates!

Dubstep? Bloomington? The Vid?!

Rad Summer peeps in Bloomington did event production for a Scion party this past Thursday at Bloomington’s go-to townie/hipster/now-also-college-kid/dive bar, The Video Saloon. In all the time that I lived there, never did one musician perform at The Vid, let alone a DJ. I also can’t ever remember anyone besides me playing dubstep, maybe Everything Continues at some point.. but in any event we never had a dubstep headliner, let alone one of the big names.

But yeah, times change: The Vid got an extra floor, dubstep blew up, and Rad Summer’s second event with Rusko & 12th Planet was by all accounts totally bonkers.

Subdivision Pics + Our next party

Subdivision’s first party at The Khyber (and our first of 2010) went really well! Thanks to everyone who came out and especially Buddy Leezle for the deftly performed hyping! Check out the pics over on the Subdivision blog or facebook page.

Our next party at The Khyber is in a little over a month and we’re having Subdiv pal and Nightshifters producer Jubilee perform a guest set! Should be more good times, wobbles, and sweaty fun for all. Here’s her in the amazing video for a song she co-produced with an ‘09 Subdivision guest Udachi called Smoke Rings:

Spotlight: Lifelounge + 60s Concept Cars

Spotlight is a new section on here where I’ll be highlighting content from some of my favorite websites, along with a brief writeup on the sites themselves.

(Pictured above: 1968 Alfa Romeo P33 Carabo) There’s this Australian blog Lifelounge that occupies a good chunk of my RSS feed reading time. They do a print magazine and I’m sure lots of other stuff but my favorite content on there, it’s like a curated ffffound!, full of great retro design that’s either kistchy or still totally right on. Case in point, they recently posted up a bunch of concept cars from 1967-1970:

1970 Ferrari 512 S Modulo

1967 Lamborghini Marzal

1970 Porsche Tapiro

OMG! New design is up.

Live, finally. Still some bugs to sort out (I’m looking at you, Gigpress) and still some sections to add, but all the old content has been shifted over and the good majority of my old mixes are accessible again!

I have a handful of tracks I’d like to post up, but I’m going to wait until I have a working subwoofer for my studio setup—all it does right now is blow fuses, but at least it does that really well?

Feed Me to the Wolves (Flufftronix Remix)

I did this remix for a Portland singer/songwriter named Logan Lynn, and am very happy with how it came out:

(Oh also; the new site is 90% complete.. someone please kick me in the shins if it’s not up before 2010 hits!)
