Heard this little gem on the most recent Trance Around the World with Above & Beyond (episode 368). Above & Beyond are in Boston at Royale tonight, playing a sold-out show. If I didn't have 3 shows in 4 days coming up, I would absolutely be there. Although I am not a huge trance fan, I love what Above & Beyond do and their Trance Around the World podcast is a great mix of sounds.
Mat Zo has been blowing up the trance world (from what I've read) and this track stood out to me when listening to episode 368. Check it homies.
Today's blog will combine some hump day hotness with a little "high holiday" 420ism. I'll be stuck in the office all day today, but that won't stop me from listening to reggae-esque music. Thanks to four years at UVM, this day as been ingrained in my head as a must-celebrate day and I can only look forward to that this evening. In the meantime, enjoy this "Welcome to Jamrock" Savoy remix, and also a little stoner comedy.
These guys have become one my favorite producer/DJ combos. Their original productions are awesome, their remixes are fire, and their DJ sets are the audio versions of a fucking party. These monthly mixes (available as Podcasts) have become a staple on my daily iPod listening. Check out the YouTube video of them at Ultra 2011. It was wild in that dome and I could barely get in the back beause it was so crowded.

Mf Grimm is an underground rapper and producer who I discovered via Pandora internet radio. While he isn't a throwback artist in the sense that he's been making songs since the early 90s, but this track has a throw back feel. Off the album American Hunger, it was released in 2006. American Hunger is a THREE DISC effort. You can barely find albums that last an hour these days, nevermind one that spans multiple discs. Enjoy the track below.
Not exactly the most original selection of mine, but I had to post it as a great warm up for the weekend. This track was basically the theme song of Ultra 2011 - everyone from Tiesto to Carl Cox to David Guetta to Sander Van Doorn dropped it and each time the crowd went nuts. Tiesto even threw this in his set last week in Boston, and needless the say the place went off.
Mostly just because I feel like it. I have a vivid memory of Benassi dropping this at Ultra. It was fun, it was wild, it was bass-heavy. See for yourself.
This should pick you right up out of your rainy day misery. Upon first listen I thought this was a Michael Woods track. It has that driving bassline that most of his records have, but I knew there was something different about it.
