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

Frankie Chan - Scion Mixtape (MP3)

First of all- for all you mixtape DJs out there - take a listen and witness what a recording engineer can do for your MP3-mix. Frankie had Greg from the Acid Girls engineer this tape and gotta say it TOTALLY sounds like it. Hats off for that alone! Oh yeah and the mix itself is completely devastating with all kinds of upfront tunes that only a dude who runs a record label can get their hands on. Frankie runs LA-Based IHEARTCOMIX and this mix runs through all of the remixes of that labels latest tracks. Originally this mix was made for Scion's mixtape series and now it is released into the inter-wild for your earbud rockin pleasure.

Genres: electro, house, indie, techno

Diplo PitchFork Mix (HTML→MP3)

Alright alright... consider my Pitchfork hating retracted. This mix pretty much does away with any dispersions cast upon the pitchfork media group. Diplo lines up a mix that will bring you back into the ranks of "fan-boy". Unlike that Fabric mix he did a while back that was good but mostly heard before. This one goes back to his Hollertronix roots with a mix of ecclectic bangers. He's been holed up recently in Jamaica with the other "hottest DJ around" Switch - making rekids with all of the top dancehall toasters. Also be sure to read the interview conducted by David Day (click source site for full text) NOTE: the link is dead and the mix cannot be found on Pitchfork - consider hating resumed!

Those folks over at Stones Throw continue to capitalize on that Adult Swim hook up. Robot Chicken is my shit!
