Villa Diamante - ZZK Records Mixtape (MP3)

You might have caught a whiff of the ZZK Records stank thats been going around for a month or so. With a crucial nod from Diplo the Argentinian sound is poised to become next year's Baile Funk - stay tuned for a genre name! But regardless of the hype - peep the game they've got going on down under! A mix-up of the some Aregntine representative cuts from Villa Diamante as well as other gems from the ZZK catalog. The sound is hard to describe - a reggaeton beat is at the base of most of it - but then there is a def. Cumbia Digital sound as well as your standard crunked up sound that is moving the floor worldwide. Check it out - for future reference!

Genres: argentina, cumbia digital, hip-hop, reggaeton

Protokoll - No Men Mixtape (MP3)

Boston bred - San Diego based Protokoll had a stand out track ('Moving Forward') on the recent Scion/I heart comix remix CD. With their bauhaus inspired mood rock combined with a dancefloor friendly beat selection these boys look to be on the way up! They recently put this mixtape together which doesn't feature their own music but certainly serves as a good barometer of their own musical tastes (from Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam to Throbbing Gristle). A great mix of party jams, mashups and more.

Genres: blends, electro, indie, mash-up, remixes, rock

Pezzner - Spring Opening at the Polyclinic (MP3)

The random mixes that I get in my inbox are just NUTS! Some of them are done by drunken deaf mice who love recording 13 songs playing at the same time. But then at the other end of the spectrum I get these really polite introductions from really cool folks who just deeply dig their music. Case in Point: Dave Pezzner - the 2007 US Laptop DJ champion - who throws down a set that doesn't advertise that fact too heavily. He laptops all of the beats into this mix perfectly. A great Springtime mix to serve as your personal sound track.

Genres: broken beat, house, laptop, mash-up, soul

Schobbejak - Booty Balkan & Gypsy-Tech (MP3)

Taking our latest personal favorite genre (Balkan beats) and cranking up the BPMs - here comes Schobbejak with a killer blend of Gypsy remixes and more.
