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.
To the weekend warriors, the nightlife ninjas, and the curbside crawlers, we are with you all the way. Here at CYV we encourage herbal remedies, Bloody Marys, and of course a daily dose of slap to recover from all the aches, bumps, and bruises collected over your weekend.
It’s simple: Save Sunday is five songs, one mixtape, easy to play, easy to repeat, and easy to download for mobile enjoyment. All sounds get love here so expect to find everything from beats to booms to bangs. Sundays never looked so good.
“Mourning everyone, I’m washed from work but here is today’s dirt-baggery. Yes, I made that word up. Yes, I’m tired. Yes, these tracks are going to make you feel nasty.” -joseph

A-trak‘s Dirty South Dance 2 mixtape dropped earlier this week, and ive been listening to it nonstop for the past couple days. Its one of those cds that hits the grounds running, and doesnt slow down, no filler. Its 15 super polished mash ups strung together with A-trak’s world renowned DJ skills. These mashups aren’t copy-paste, hes subtly adapted each vocal to the beat which gives each track that extra snap-crackle-pop.
The entire digital download is available for free at atrak.bandcamp.com. With artists like: Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Joker, David Guetta, Bag Raiders making appearances you can guarantee to get the party started. Full tracklisting below

I was rocking out to Waves today and thought this post would be appropriate. I really appreciate when an artist is well rounded, having backgrounds in different styles and compiling all into one. Boys Noize definitely fits the profile. Super versatile, always hard!
Ever since Annie Mac dropped this on her radio show in early October, kids have been scrambling to get a hold of this dance-floor killer! It’s pretty much the norm to expect nothing less than complete gold from Mr. Macklovich. (good thing we just call him A-Trak, right?)
Amidst a sea of internet rips and hype, I give you A-Trak’s remix of ‘Heads Will Roll’. Enjoy!
In another note, I’d like to apologize for the lack of posting. I’ve been on quite a mission to get this fidget / electro remix I’m producing finished up before this month’s party. I’ve got a couple more tracks to post a little bit later in the day to make up for a couple days worth of no music!
