Mystery Old Mix of the Week - Lola NYC Clothing “Neverending Story” themed mix
Circa 2009 in the midst of my drug indused mental breakdown I bought this mix cd from a pop up Lola Clothing store here in Atlanta. My itunes crashed today so I had to re-add my library so I ran across this and thought I would post this as I can’t find it on the net. Unfortunately I forget the dj name I will hopefully find and add later please let me know in the comments if you know. This mix is Hip-Hop, 1980’s, Crunk, Indie Dance all mixed into one very NYC Club style and banging with Neverending Story samples throughout.

Billed as the dubstep/hip-hop/underwater video I kind of like this track from bedroom producer superstar Lane Weaver straight from Iowa. Will he become the dubstep older version of Bieber? Only time will tell but this video is well done. I kinda think there are already too many white rappers? This video might just be for all my women readers and believe me I’m always searching for more. Check out Lane’s facebook HERE.From Her by Lane Weaver

a dubstep music video, and there haven’t been too many so I had to post this which dropped today. Here is a quote from @Baggaz who commented this on youtube: “The video shows dubstep exactly for what it is today, it’s a genre perfect to get drunk/stoned and party to. Since the start of dubstep’s rapid growth all good tracks have sounded like this.” not sure I agree with that as I dont get high (anymore) and listen to plenty dubstep, but maybe the music just gives me a emotional recall to when I was high. I love reading youtube comments sometimes, as dubstep grows the debates continue online as the resistance to sellout remains in contrast with the goal to succeed as a movement. Is this a sellout “commercial” dubstep track? does it matter? Will dubstep “sellout” like hip-hop did?Dubba Jonny - All In (Music Video)

Alonzo feat. Anasia / Up All Night / DOWNLOAD
Exclusive release only here first, this is some ultra-modern Miami Bass, with attitude. Shouts to RAGE (BK+MIA - inkheads) for sending this one over. Both Alonzo + Anasia are Miami natives living in Brooklyn and I think the NYC influence can be felt with the hardness of the beat & lyrics but it also has that classic MIA bounce.

IDM (intelligent dance music) edition - Zone3’s Bonus Traxxxxxxxx
Once again this is the section where I post music I cannot fit into my daily posts by theme with direct download’s but no preview players. So you just have to trust me that all these songs are classic’s of IDM and worth downloading. For me these were the songs I used to bump at parties in college in the late 90’s. This is by no means a comprehensive deep selection of IDM but more my greatest hits from the heavyweights in the genre. Download and Enjoy.
1. Aphex Twin - We are the Music Makers - DOWNLOAD —- early bass heavy bouncy work from the album (my favorite of his) “Selected Ambient Works 85-92” perfect chill-out track.
2. Squarepusher - A Journey to Reedham (7AM mix) - DOWNLOAD —- This song is the jam great soundtrack for any road trip. From the album “Big Loada”.
3. Squarepusher - I Wish You Could Talk - DOWNLOAD —- More intense than the above track and super complex yet sublimely simple. From the album “Go Plastic”.
4. Squarepusher - Massif (Stay Strong) - DOWNLOAD —- A very cinematic track that has a funky breakdown. From the album “Big Loada”. Squarepusher has produced many albums and is a legend if you don’t know of him get familiar.
5. Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country - DOWNLOAD —- This is one of those songs that makes you feel like you are high without the cost of doing dope. This track slides down your ears like honey.
6. Autechre - Bike - DOWNLOAD —- Another dark bass track, I would love to hear someone rap over this. Autechre has been around since 1987 on warp records and have some of the illest music videos (click here to see one). From the album “Incunabula” made in 1993.
7. Autechre - Lowride - DOWNLOAD —- This verges very close to hip-hop sounding like some experimental space bass ala Bass 305. also from “Incunabula”.
8. Autechre - Montreal - DOWNLOAD —- A very accessible track compared to most this has a driving smooth’d out beat yet still dark. From the 1994 album “Amber”.
9. μ-Ziq - Slice - DOWNLOAD —- Pronounced like the word “music”. I discovered this dude in college when this album “Royal Astronomy” came out in 1999 I spent hours bumping this in my cd walkman walking the streets of NYC. He has many alias’s and side projects so read about him on wikipedia. He even did an album with Aphex Twin.
10. μ-Ziq - Goodbye, Goodbye - DOWNLOAD —- This is the late night coming down song definitely on the emo side of idm yet a great track for the end of the night. From “Royal Astronomy” as well.
If you don’t already have them in your collection these are a must download for any electronic music fan.
