It’s about time! The following artists are probably the most talented, and when it comes to hip hop have had more of an effect for its development, than any single rapper or group ever could – and they do it all from behind the scenes. Half of these guys you’ve never heard of but you’ve def. heard some of their work or work by someone who was inspired by their beats.
This is, in my opinion, the most important list rebellion will make..
Some of these guys rap as well, but what separates their music from others is the quality of their beats/their production value – I’d recommend grabbin’ a few songs from each one and studying them religiously if you call yourself a hip-hop fan..
Pretty crazy right? As soon as I saw that video I went out and bought Drink the Sea, the Glitch Mob’s newest album
Wanna give a HUGE shout out to THE Glitch Mobwhile I’m at it..
I have recently fallen in love with this group (bromance, you may call it..)
What I like about them: They truly bridge the gap between all the new age production capabilities (aka dubstep, drum n bass, house, electro music type) and yet with a solid, even old school hip hop influence. Most of their songs you could genuinely classify as hip-hop, and yet they infuse elements from all the previously mentioned genres.
I am a huge fan. 5 stars
Guess where they just performed on June 5 on their promotion tour for “Drink the Sea”?
MY HOMETOWN! Portland, Oregon
They also are performing in Los Angeles tonight – and I will most certainly be there as I am in love with their new album. (sorry no samples from it for you – as it just dropped I want to encourage you to purchase it and support the artists, it is worth the price)
Who are they?
“When four friends, Ooah, edIT, Boreta & Kraddy all noted fixtures on the West Coast underground team up with a creative vision and positive intentions
the result is
A relentless sonic assault on the dance floor of
ferocious drums, catastrophic sub bass, and sounds from another world
It is an unforgiving and punishing physical audio
experience that will leave your body beat to the
core and your soul wanting more
It is the gift of music from this four man
collaboration with the intention to unite the masses
on the dance floor through trying times
It is the experience of being slayed……

And now for something completely different…
I’d like to take today to announce that THIS BLOG WILL NOT EXIST in 2 days time
Now now… don’t cry (but, at least pretend you care a little bit..)
Actually, I decided recently to purchase some real domain spaces and I will be moving this blog hopefully into a much more large scale operation…
There will be a three day notice but in the meantime, take a moment to GET INFECTED
by..
SwineFluLives.com
“The Last music blog you will ever need”...
The launch of this site and multiple affiliates will ultimately allow me to do what I love doing: gathering music, learning about artists, making dj mixes and remixes, and sharing it all with you!!
PS, swine flu is pimped out.. check it:

“A blog site run by college students for students.”
Great for djs, promoters, blog enthusiasts, and people who just straight-up love music (especially lots of it, and WAYYY too loud, with a HUGE subwoofer so that the neighbors call the cops..)
Stay posted for upcoming blog-tastic following of the EDC, by the waty, which grows closer and closer..
pause..
seriously I’m really excited for Electric Daisy Carnival this year, it’s going to be raw this year and the first time I will have seen Dada Life live (who I have been listening to a lot of recently..)
Hey people, sorry I been MIA for a bit. Been in the process of moving all my stuff into the off-campus student housing at USC, and getting ready to start my summer jobs.
Also, met up with an old friend of mine, Yohei Nakajima, CMC class of 2009, who got me stoked and involved in EntertainLA, a new social media site focusing on REAL social interaction as opposed to online socializing. You sign up by invitation only, and then collect friends on the site – available to all members for free is a weekly party inform, access to hundreds of ratings of over 700 bars, clubs, and events in LA, made by fellow members whom you trust and know. See what your friends are up to at any given day on the calender, leave comments RSVPing for their events, share stories about last night or about a specific bar, and most importantly RECONNECT WITH OLD FRIENDS AND MEET NEW ONES!
Props to EntertainLA for reconnecting me with old- college friends and helping me to make new friends and have the hook-up for cool events going down in LA. I’m all for this site and wish it the best!
“Rebellion is a refusal of obedience or order [1]. It may, therefore, be seen as encompassing a range of behaviors from civil disobedience and mass nonviolent resistance, to violent and organized attempts to destroy an established authority such as the government. Those who participate in rebellions are known as “rebels”. A Rebel is distinguished from an outsider. An outsider is one who is excluded from a group whereas a rebel goes against it. Also, a rebel’s potential to overthrow the leadership is recognized and substantial, unless the rebellion is crushed, whereas an outsider has been marginalized and is considered to be degenerate.”
Swine Flu: According to reports, the virus is a “never-before-seen form of the flu that combines pig, bird and human viruses” which consists of an intercontinental mix of viruses from North America, Europe and Asia.
“CDC officials detected a virus with a unique combination of gene segments that have not been seen in people or pigs before,” according to an Associated Press report.
“This strain of swine influenza that’s beencultured in a laboratoryis something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified,” said Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director (video clip here).
Alarming reports are now filtering in about people catching the illness who have had no contact with pigs whatsoever. These include a man and his daughter in San Diego County, a 41-year-old woman in Imperial County and two teenagers in San Antonio, Texas. In fact, in all U.S. cases, the victims had no contact with any pigs.
Combine the two, and you are in a LOT of trouble.
My apologies…
I have been really busy the past couple days because I have a Macroeconomics midterm coming up on monday, but I was able to turn out one solid mix this weekend, as well as update the house session from April 7
A list of things to do that might show a girl how much you care about her, for all you romantics out there..
leave 2 dozen roses and a love note on her bed, secretly, so she finds it as a surprise (bonus points if you get her friends involved and she has no idea what you’re doing)
take her to the beach and teach her to surf, sunbathe, then get margaritas after
go get bagels, coffee, jamba juice, or Ihop after a night when you both had way too much to drink (bonus points if she stays the night in your bed)
go on a west coast roadtrip across minimum 2 states
bonus points if:
- you stay in a coastal hotel complete with hottub and queen size bed, and then you comp bottles of wine to the room like theres no tmrw
- extra bonus points if you go on a romantic walk and watch the waves hit the shore
- go up in the gondola and have an aerial view/hike through all the amazing huge redwood trees in Northern cal (also, if possible, go to the drive thru tree, and let her drive through it)
stay with her in an apartment in San Francisco **this one is a must** make sure you take her out to dinner, party and buy her drinks, and be sure to try the watermelon wheat beer from the Beanbag (but watch out for the crazy stalker guy..)
pick her up from the airport whenever she needs you to
share all of your music with her and make her playlists that remind you of her
buy her earrings and scarves from foreign countries to show how much you’ve missed her, and make sure they highlight/complement her beautiful eyes
take her on a tour of London and introduce her to the ‘snake-bite‘ (great drink, if you didn’t know..) – pretty much any major european city will do, just make sure you know where to take her
introduce her to your entire family, even if they’re strange..
take her to a super secret spot on the beach and watch shooting stars together **this one is tough but required**
write her a song on the piano
wait for her outside as long as you have to; in the end, its worthit
supply all the alcohol and come up with the theme for her birthday party and make friends with all her friends, so you can all hang out more often
watch ‘kitchen nightmares’, ‘modern family’, and/or ‘better off ted’ with her just to relax and snuggle, even when you have TONS of work you should be doing
spend hours editing her spanish HW, essays, and help edit her application essay for abroad, even when her getting accepted to abroad means she’s gone for the entire next semester
give her massages whenever she is stressed or pretty much just whenever she wants; soft kisses are also a plus
name your first imaginary child in advance, naturally after the best cereal ever (lucky charms, duhhh)
talk about/come up with super secret plots to steal cute adopted asian babies
brag to everyone about how beautiful and perfect she is, even if she doesn’t do the same for you
leave pictures of cute puppies on her computer
always forgive her for anything and everything she has ever done to upset you or break your heart, even if she doesn’t do the same for you
After I finish my midterm, I am going to be performing for a few days straight as well as making mixtapes, so please stay posted, got some interesting stuff coming soon..
- TNC/hiphop/R&B Party Mixtapes
-Reggaeton Mixtapes
- Tons more House/Electro and Dubstep/Grime
- Trance/HighER energy (what, you thought it wasn’t possible?)
So I guess what I have learned is that life is a process. It has its ups and downs, a lot more frequently than we all would like; it’s filled with injustice and sorrow sometimes, other times its beautiful and simple. Those times are the best, but we can’t have the good without the bad. That’s just reality.
The best we can do is keep our heads up and keep fighting for what we love. And every day we must remember, that not all of us are even fortunate enough to be blessed with life, so we who are must take nothing for granted.
‘It Was Written’ (Chasing Shadows Remix) – Damian Marley
Ghosts N Stuff (Nero Remix) – Deadmau5 ft. Rob Swire
Feeling’s Gone (Rusko’s Rock The Stadium Remix) – Shiny Toy Guns ft. Sam Sparro
Must apologize in advance, all the mixtapes are rough and unmastered, so there will be some places with normalization/sound issues. However, I think this is the best one yet.
I will be continually editing/fixing/mastering and reposting all my mixtapes, so stay posted. New ones are in the making as well.
This post is for all you music-lovers out there.. I know I spend a long time looking over the internet and elsewhere to find new tracks, and unlike many DJ’s who preciously guard their music collection, I am all about sharing the music that I love.
Following are photos of most of my current favorite house/electro/club artists.. If you have a similar music taste to myself, then you really need to get up on these artists..
