Experiencing major Déjà vu as I blast this quick write-up on yet another sucker free ticket giveaway from us full-time hype beasts here at CYV. Wasn’t it just a few months ago that we hooked up some lucky winners with the chance to see this moombahton menace live in action? Fresh from NYE escapades at the brand new SnowGlobe Festival (an icy fresh assortment of the most sought after names in electronic music) Dillon Francis is back at Manor West to give everyone another healthy dose of booty music.
Contest rules are simple: “like” our page, post the link to this article on your facebook timeline & winners will be announced Friday. The loot is 4 pairs of tickets (8 tickets total) so that makes 4 winners & their guests. Make sure you keep an eye out for us when we contact you!
IMPORTANT: In order to receive tickets you must have a valid email address.
Hijack is doing it right as usual. Today he brings us a brand new beat under the awesome Busta Rhymes sample he used previously in a collaboration with Santiago & Bushido. He titles the track “Pudding,” a potential obfuscation of the words in the sample (puttin’ it = pudding it), and uses a photo of Bill Cosby eating some kind of Jell-O pudding product as the artwork for the song. What more could we ask for?
A special treat are the pleasantly panned grinding gremlin sounds that enter at both 1:47 and 3:50.
I’d like to take a moment to speak with you about a musician who, surprisingly enough, has never been featured on CYV™ | CHW YR VTMNS before. Someone truly remarkable. A Swede-turned-Brit named Peo de Pitte who takes his beats with extra cream.
Fusing house, electro, breaks, and a trace of hip hop into unquestionable dancefloor gold, Peo has earnestly worked his way to clubland notoriety. He meticulously crafts tracks that could just as easily be heard in the DJ sets of heavy hitters like Benny Benassi and Laidback Luke as in the more underground world of fidget and breaks.
Peo puts a heavy focus on his mixdowns, which means when you hear that Peo sound on a festival-size system, you will be experiencing a top-of-the-line brain-vasion.
Please check out…
• Peo de Pitte’s new original, “Who Do You Love?” – which has been blasted across the blogosphere over the last few weeks. In this song a man’s voice confronts you with two very direct questions about your life. These questions quickly lose their urgency when Peo slaps you with a baby-powdered palm of wonk to the face.
• His Jay Robinson remix, a thumping peak-hour earthquake of a beat that could raise any nation’s security level to red.
• And his latest remix, uploaded a few days ago: Peo’s take on disco…
And of course I can’t leave out his two most well-known songs to date: “Burning Up” and his “Riverside” remix.
You’ll also want this melodic bass storm, which is one of the handful of free downloads posted on Peo de Pitte’s Soundcloud page.
The best music is grown in California. Good In The Hood showcases the freshest crops of dedicated Bay Area musicians and sound engineers, each carving out their own personal piece of the musicsphere. They may be young, new, and still deciding who they want to be, but the point is someday we feel they will figure it out and it will be epic. Till then, read up, listen up, dance and tell your friends.
Let’s talk about sexy. Let’s talk about silky, sweet seduction. Turn down the “in your face” and turn up the “on your knees.” The genres and sub-genres spanning Indie Electro, Disco House & beyond are almost like the romance languages of dance music. Their masters are few and far between. Artists like A-Trak, AC Slater, and Treasure Fingers are able to wield their sounds properly so that even the most resistant recipient won’t be able to avoid feeling coy, happy, and lustful. We are no stranger to San Francisco talent here at CYV so it shouldn’t surprise you that our latest disco fix is provided by Dynamics, a pair of genuine boogie aficionados; we often see them alongside SF nightlife favorites Realboy or performing at the famed Our House Records events. In a sea of newly minted DJ BRO’s mashing Beatport’s Top 100 Dubstep / Electro charts, this duo is stepping way outside the box & turning it into a damn disco ball.
One of your most promising options for New Year’s this year: the Snowglobe Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, December 29-31. The line-up guarantees three days of the nastiest dubstep, glitch-hop, hip-hop, and house. French YouTube mash-up star Madeon will be making one of his debut performances in the United States. Dillon Francis and Figure will be bringing in the exclusive new moombahton bangers in complement to their electro/fidget and dubstep roots (and a lot of drumstep in the case of Figure). Big Gigantic will represent the ever so common saxophone-with-live-EDM format. Underground glitch genius Dave Tipper will most likely be the favorite of anybody who’s had the pleasure of hearing him before. Porter Robinson, the 19- or 20- year-old electro house front-runner who’s been touring with Tiesto, will bring his sound to the Lake. “Community” TV star Donald Glover will be there as his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino. Also on the bill is Datsik, who was recently able to collab with the person who got him into bass music in the first place: Bassnectar. Bassnectar will be headlining the show alongside Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, and The Glitch Mob.
Check out the rest of the line-up here because the few artists I’ve mentioned hardly covers it.
This is for the weekend warriors, the nightlife ninjas, and the curbside crawlers; we are with you all the way. We at CYV encourage herbal remedies, Bloody Marys, and of course a daily dose of slaps to aide all the aches, bumps, and bruises you collected over the weekend.
