I may have just creamed my pants a little. Broadcasting live from the Oh My! beat fortress, I bring you the latest and greatest from Dave Taylor. Switch has long since been one of my favorite producers, and honestly, I’ve been a little bummed about his left turn into the baile-daggering world of Major Lazer. Granted, Pon de Floor changed the game — but where did everyone’s favorite wonk-house wizard go?

Anyways, enough with the talk. I pressed play on this beast and have once again bestowed my faith upon Taylor. This track is nonsense. Just.. utter greatness. A nice chunky stuttered kick and punchy snare accompany the pumping atmospherics in the background. The bass wobbles are proper wonky, flashing me back to ’09 — and don’t forget that lead whistle-wobble that bounces in and out on its quick 1/16th beat rhythm. YUM!

Kool Keith -Drugs – Full Release Preview by Sugarcane

Coming out on Sugarcane Recordings on Dec. 15th. Oh yeah, and as you saw, the release also features remixes from Two Fingers (Amon Tobin & Doubleclick) and Hot Chip. Mark your calendars and grab da hotness!

Lets all take a second and hope that there is more of this juiciness to come. Thank you again, Dave. This track will be in my sets all damn month!

It was 2008. I had just downloaded (legally, of course) a whole trove of Ministry of Sound mixes. Oddly pushing its way to the forefront of my mind was a track called “Salmon Dance.” It was unlike anything I had heard at the time and I wasn’t sure how to feel. I warmed up soon enough, and found myself dropping baritone “Wows” when something merited enough of the gasp factor. I was hooked. I grabbed up as much Crookers as I could. Electro was the sound, and these guys delivered a hot steaming slice of banger right to my desktop speakers.

Fast forward to 2011, and Dr.Gonzo is the new monstrous sound of internationally renown Italian duo, Phra & Bot. The new Gonzo project, that features Swedish two-piece Savage Skulls alongside Canadian producers Neoteric and Wax Motif, sees Crookers go back to their roots, serving up three absolute club bangers!

Bust’em Up is an aggy assault on the senses, Get The F**k Out My House is another furious concoction of anger, energy and fun, whilst Springer, the third, is probably the most outlandish. With serious depth and venom this jaunt to another Crookers planet is helped along with an insane spring/bounce cartoon-esque sound effect that one can’t help but effected by.

Crookers are a force to be reckoned with, this new Dr.Gonzo (a nod to Hunter S Thompson’s Fear and Lothing…) project is testament to both their skills in the both the booth and in the studio, welcome back!

Hello boys and girls! This is Oh My!, captain of the S.S. CYV™, and I’m hear to tell you a story (..that rhymed. Boom!). I’ve been thoroughly preoccupied with finishing up my last semester of school, ever. I’ve taken my last finals, given my last presentations, and written the last “essays” I will ever have to write in my life. Let me tell you, it feels amazing! On top of all this, I’ve been busy working on various design projects and producing tracks non-stop. I let the blog fall pretty behind — this post consists of submissions from more than 30+ e-mails. Some of these posts definitely deserve their own spotlight, so I apologize for this cluster-fuck of downloads, mixes, and soundcloud embeds.

Let’s begin, shall we?

(more…)

(This was supposed to be posted yesterday — I’m gonna keep it all the same) Happy 420 folks! On this glorious of glorious days, I bring you some new fire from Prowley Burglars. I hadn’t heard about these Netherland-dwelling electro masters until about a month or two ago. Don’t know how I slept on that one, but I am now well aware of their awesome, and so are you!

Anyways, pop this mix in when you’re on you’re way to the club, after you’ve had copious amounts of caffeine (or maybe if you haven’t and just need to wake the fuck up!), or maybe when you just need to get super stoked, because damn, this thing is heavy! Upon first glance, I was ready for some epic tunage — Santiago & Bushido’s Puttin’ it Down, Breakdown’s remix of Bounce Camp, and South African fidget king, Geoff K’s, I’m Fred Astair. So much good stuff going on in this mix. Pick it up while it’s still spicy hot!

On my first note, I’d like to mention that I know today isn’t Friday, and that I know this post is a day late. My scanner went on the fritz yesterday, I was stacked with errands and I couldn’t quite get around to getting this all together. I decided to start Fidget Fridays in an effort to install yet another mandatory post day into my schedule. I’ll be brining you some of the best fidget / electro I can get my hands on!

So anyways…I was browsing Beatport the other day in an effort to come across some new gems, and I came across the following two. I wasn’t able to track these down on the interwebs otherwise, so I picked ‘em up and they are now here (at 192k) for your listening pleasure. I’m especially into the first one, with it’s salsa-vibe horn stabs mashed into that squelchy fidget bass. And that second track is probably my favorite remix of AC Slater’s BanGer—its quite different than the original, but I think that’s why I enjoy it.
