And We Don't Stop


Looks like the leaked albums are just gonna keep coming and coming.  Currently listening, love what I hear so far.  If I had to say my favorite part so far, it's the abundance of awesome percussion.

LP4 - Ratatat

Also, Leland, if you're reading this, could you care to explain what THIS is?

Other Batch #2


This batch is pretty random, tracks that I like but wouldn't really consider playing live.

-M

Disco Science - Mirwais
Anyone seen that movie Snatch? This one's in it. What genre is this?

Classic (With the Pharcyde) (Remix) - Ancient Astronauts
AMAZING hip hop beat.

Rockin With The Best (Ernold Sane Remix) - Aaron Lecrate
Really cool, Indian influenced Hip Hop.

Big Truck Part II - Kazey & Bulldog
Bmore take on an unforgettable hip hop track. Let's say +10 Bastille Love and Admiration points for who can call the sample in this one.

Alive (Feat. Ratatat) - KiD CuDi
This is pretty old, but you still gotta love the beat.

Broerne Brænder ft. Fagget Fairys - Specktors
Weird/foreign hip hop, more electronic.

Cha Cha Slide (Original Live Platinum Band Mix) - Mr. C
Oh yeah. Cheers to Just Gravy crew.

Other Batch #2 Zipped

BONUS:
Frame of Mind (John Dahlback Remix) - DK7
Brand new remix from one of the masters.

Other Batch


This is my random batch. These are songs that I would probably never DJ in a set, but I just happened to enjoy. I hope you like them too:

-M

Five Step (Overdub Bootleg) - Radiohead VS Dave Brubeck
This is a FANTASTIC mashup. It's amazing how well these songs work together. Well done.

End It Tonight (Seekae Remix) - Teenagersintokyo

I love this song. It's so beautiful and relaxing and amazing.

Under The Sun - Kidda
There's a fantastic remix of this by Hervé, but the original is pretty damn good too.

I'm Not Human At All - Sleep Party People

Kinda like M83, but more rockish I guess. I don't know, just listen, you might find that you just like it.

Alive (Feat. Ratatat) - Kid Cudi

I mean, it's fucking Ratatat.

Witness Dub - Roots Manuva
Cool Experimental/Psychedelic Hip-hop track. Some Dub sounding basses.

Holiday (prod. by Calvin Harris) - Dizzee Rascal

Fun track, not much else to say.

Sunderland - MVSC
Good Electro/Dance Punk sort of thing going on here.

Die Slow - HEALTH

Crazy shit.

Sock You in the Face with Love - The XYZ Affair
J will love this song I think. I don't really like the voice, but there's something about the song that really draws me into it.

South Of The Border - Andy Cato

This is just a really nice, electronic song. Interesting.

P.S.
I might have been drunk for this one too...

Ratatashups


Jared Paul is a hip-hop producer that goes to my school and does a lot of collaborations with WordSmith. These are the guys I opened for Brother Ali with. Well, I recently acquired a mashup album Mr. Paul made in which he mashes every song from Ratatat's Classics in order. It's fantastic. The mashups are the exact kind of mashups I enjoy and try to make, aka, the ones that really make sense and last longer than Girl Talk's ADD ones. He really spent the time to find raps that really worked over these songs, and I really recommend this album, its a great alternative to those incredible Ratatat Remix albums.

Ratatashups - Jared Paul

Also, if you're interested in his other productions, you should definitely go check out an interview he did with Are You Here To Confuse Me, which you can see HERE. AYHTCM also interviewed Bastille, so you can check that out HERE. And here's a fantastic collaboration between Wordsmith and Jared Paul.

Book Of - WordSmith
Fucking beautiful. He samples a folk song to amazing effect. The chorus kills me every time.

Elena's Eruo Dance Birthday Party


Tonight, I got the pleasure of DJing for Elena's birthday party.  And yes, it is, or was I guess, a Sunday.  She's from Bulgaria, so she requested a lot of Euro House, especially the likes of David Guetta.  I went for 3 hours, playing tons of different stuff, even got to lay down some Flying Lotus and Ratatat beats while a kid from our dorm free styled over them, and well I might add.  But I also got a new challenge, as she handed me a few CDs during the show and asked me to play some of the songs from it.  I popped it into my computer and listened to them in iTunes, and they were Bulgarian songs, sort of like eastern hip-hop-ish around 180 BPM.  Some of them were songs off the Garden State soundtrack, the fuck am I supposed to do with that?  I thought I'd post some of the songs I ended up having to mix on the spot; it was a very interesting experience.  Track 10 I actually ended up mixing into Paper Planes (DFA Remix) - M.I.A. which worked quite nicely and went over really well.

Track 1 - Unkown Artist (to me at least)
