Re:Generation Music Project

Attended the LA premiere of this film last night, complete with a Q&A from DJ Premier, Skrillex, Mark Ronson, The Crystal Method & Pretty Lights. Gotta say – I’m a big supporter of both the concept and this documentary itself. Premier last night said it best: when musicians and producers stop experimenting and trying new sounds, the whole community of music becomes stale. These collaborations were risky, but so worth it.

MP3Skrillex & The Doors – Breakn’ a Sweat

 

Dope Video! Orbital – Never

 

An extremely simple concept, but oh so perfectly executed. The timings and movements are so tightly in-synch with the structure of the song. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this was a montage lifted from a film!

NSFW Video! Duck Sauce – Big Bad Wolf

 

Wow, brave and amazing video, that actually enhances an otherwise rather repetitive song and gives it a full storyline. I have a feeling I’ll always have these visuals in my head when I drop the song (which will be many times on this Halloween weekend). Duck Sauce has been receiving some …..interesting…. props for this video:

 

 

Fresh Video! The Peach Kings – Thieves & Kings

 

Wow, great track with a great video. Loving the twisted time-warp visuals. I’ve also always had a soft spot for a gangster storyline with a sense of humor. Go grab TPK‘s single on iTunes!

 

Bassnectar ‘Color Storm’ Mixtape!

Bassnectar EDC

Bassnectar, definitely one of the top 3 dubstep producers in my book, has unreleased a dark, seamless mix of mainly original music. This baby was released 3 weeks ago (which equals what, 5 years in blog-time?) but it’s well worth the listen. It starts with in-the-pocket Bassnectar tunes, and ends up crazy rock, drum-n-bass and mashups.
