The Mix Mason is an LA-based nightclub and mixtape DJ, who spins hip-hop, b-more club, electro, funky lounge musica and knows his share of rock/dubstep/oldies. During the day he works for a well-known music supervisor in television, films, & trailers.
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.

tracklisting after the jump:
Was recently discussing with a friend how addicting Foster The People’s whole first album is. Clocking in at only 10 songs, it’s truly one you can pop on and listen to front-to-back, then repeat. And then comes the remixes: one from Gigamesh, who is one of top electro-pop producers in the game; an RAC remix that’s official through the band; and a Wiz Khalifa mashup which lifts the vocals from his somewhat awkward 2008 single “Say Yeah” (I definitely prefer the FTP backing track to the Alice Deejay sample).

When my Aubrey-Graham-obsessed lil sis told me last week that he tweeted just the word “wildfire”, I was crossing my fingers he discovered my 2009 mixtape called Wild Fire. No such luck. Instead, he was just adding a verse onto one of my favorite songs of 2011. I’ll take it!

Take a brief step away from the ketamine and ecstasy-fueled sounds of dubstep, rave-bass and glitch-house (no shots!). Kick back and enjoy this warm-weather journey to the percussion-filled lands of UK funky, tropical bass, moombahton, calypso and many other island-y destinations. Pop this on your ipod, close your eyes, and imagine you’re enjoying a Corona in the Caribbeans, Ibiza, or at the very least – your buddy’s summer beach house!
