Adrian Fox Haskell of Morgan Hill, CA, has been puttin’ his heart and soul into the Bay Area’s EDM scene by 1) co-founding Blockhead Entertainment and throwing underground gatherings in the Santa Cruz Mountains and 2) refining his music production skills so he can start changing the world one twitch and one smack at a time.

That being said, show some love by melting your brain to this twitchy, smacky, exuberantly dark minimal track by A-Fox:

DAT SHEEP by A_fox

Insomniac is hosting a shit ton of mid-size concerts in Hollywood through the end of the year, including Cosmic Gate, Axwell, Boys Noize, Porter Robinson, Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso, Borgore, and Nero, but the greatest one of them will be Loco Dice & Victor Calderone at the Music Box on December 17th, due to the excruciating perfection and straight forwardness of their dirty ass minimal and tech-house beats.

This remix by Loco Dice came out in July and it’s definitely one you would want to hear live. Skip to 2:00 where it starts getting funky. Or perhaps if you’re a true fan, you’ll just wait it out….

Also check out the Victor Calderone and Mike Frade remix of “Break It.” It’s got a super hard, jacked-up beat surrounded by some beautiful vocal samples both in the foreground and in the background.

Let’s Mix has been around for awhile now. I remember reading about the website through some blogs a while back and thought the concept was pretty sweet. When I first visited the site, it wasn’t too big, and not too many mixes had actually made there way onto the platform. It has since gained a lot of popularity and is now home to thousands of mixes!

I’ve just been loading up this site during work and randomly picking mixes — and for the most point I haven’t been disappointed. The site tells you exactly what track is playing during the mix, so hunting down them choonz just got a bit easier! Hoorah!

About Let’s Mix and the people behind it:
Simply: an online platform where you can listen to music mixes and upload, share and promote your own music mixes. The people behind Let’s mix spend pretty much all of our waking hours listening to or interacting with music. Some of us DJ on the regular when not writing code, others just love hearing new music, sharing it and giving new life to old tracks by mixing them up.

For some reason, we never really found a place on the web that catered to all our different needs. We wanted to find new music from our favorite DJ’s and labels. But also be able to easily upload, manage and promote the mixes we do ourselves, without all the hassle of using different FTP sites, copy-pasting track lists to blogs and social networks – and still end up with something that looks like crap because it’s just a boring old download link.
