I recently had the huge honor of opening up the main stage at Insomniac’s Audiotistic Festival this July. It was a ridiculous experience and really just made me want to get back on a sound system that fat as soon as humanly possible. To commemorate the occasion, I am releasing my “Audiotistic 2011 Mix” for you to bump in your car, on the bus, or at a calm luncheon or dinner party.
Grinding fidget madness with traces of jackin’, tech and disco.

Whats crackinatin? Slurped up a nice selection of ear porn for you this weekend. Will start off with a free bootleg from my boy Sean Taylor. He jacked the bass proper, but kept many of the original parts to maintain some of that funky Calabria groove. Git it git it!

Calvertron came through to Public Works’ a few weeks ago. Repping hard for the bangerang crew he layed down a serious bass assault. Somewhere in between dubstep and bangers Calvertron’s tracks have bassy yet fully developed acid riffs. The video can’t do the tracks justice nearly as well as the Funktion One speaker system that public works has installed. Photo set of the night can be found here.
Calvertron has been picking up steam lately with some quality mainstream remixes:
Flat Beat just got phatter. Calvertron puts some extra woomp into Mr. Oizo’s Flat Beat wobbles, recreating the track with some new vocals while generally hyph’n up the whole mix. I’ve always been a fan of flat beat, so this remix was quite a treat.
Found this little gem on Wizards Are Better (Thanks guys!). Some dandy fine grinding, wobbling gnar gnar from Prowley Burglars. The track is quite fidget in nature, yet it teeters on the line between electrobanger and the former. It’s like a combination of GTRONIC’s grinding hard electro leads and Calvertrons wibble wobble.
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.
