Texture DJs - The Loft mix #33 (MP3)

Just get ready to boogie... a little nugget of hip wiggling electro - frisco - dancefloor grease from the Texture Djs. Who are the Texture Djs? Well I'm not really sure but they've been at it for over 2 yrs and have accrued 32 previous mixes worthy of a click-n-listen. I've had this mix open for the past week and whenever I was about to close the player I would start it up again and then be sucked in until that dope fidgit-style Beastie Boys remix at the end. Word to the Texture crew!

Nick Vidal - House Your Soul Sydney (MP3)

Ahh house music! The perfect soundtrack to a blissful summer of sunkissed parties. This mix comes to us from down under - where it is actually winter - but that is beside the point. Nonetheless this comes to us from Nick Vidal - one of the residents at Sydney's Soulful House Experience party. And it is a sweet and smooth cocktail of current vocal house gems alongside some classic basslines layered in the mix that'll tease your memory core.

Genres: deep house, house, soulful house, vocal house

Girl Talk Doesn't Understand Ecommerce (MP3)

Ummm while I love all of the unique methods artists are employing to sell their music (aka biting Trent Reznor's moves). I gotta mention that GirlTalks latest album sales mechanism is a bit flawed. 1. goto the site 2. fill in the donation fields with something more than 5.00 and click 3. click what type of file you want Mp3 of FLAC + click Paypal inside the US 4. On the final page you can disregard the "CLICK TO INITIATE PAYMENT" link and Just click download album as indiv files or seamless mix and the files download! Voila you just got that shit for free! NOTE to GirlTalk's web team - think about offering the download link AFTER people pay?!?!

Genres: mash-up, mashups, stupid

Newsflash: Breakbeat still exists! Yes you callous bastard the sound that was complete destroyed by rave has been licking it's wounds quietly. Getting more and more pissed off about being homogenized in the early 2000s. But with the bassline, dubstep sounds heating up - Breakbeat's ears perked up and were like "oh shit I can do THAT too!". And that brings us here where the BodySnatchers throw down a mighty set of breaks synthesized with wobbly basslines and filthy crunk samples. The Body Snatchers have a new album coming out late June 08 on Aquasky's label Passenger. Keep an eye out...
