13 Time To Get Ill (3:37)

The Beastie Boys released this heavy hitter in 1986. 1986 god damn it. It broke sales records, told people they have a right to party, and instructed people on the proper way to drink brass monkey. Not only that but it was produced by Rick Rubin, imo the greatest producer of our generation.

Skream - Galassia (2008)



Skream has done it again. Well, this time its not dubstep. Following greats like Aesop Rock, A-Trak, Simian Mobile Disco, and LCD Soundsystem, Skream produced this track for Nike's project Nike+. Pretty cool concept. This was designed for runner's motivation. Skream has a tech and house feel during the first half of the track and gradually fades into trance. Again, not dubstep, but still great work.

15 Peace Division Voodoo (It's In The Wall) (Original Mix) (4:54)

An ill 70 minute mix from Deadmau5 and like the name suggests, its all about tech, trance, electro and some f'ing madness. This mix isn't exactly the progressive house Deadmau5 is known for. I'll save those club bangers for another day.

My hands down favorite venue, the Highline Ballroom, absolutely rocked this night. The show was an absolute blast, but I could not find any recordings of this show until I stumbled upon an audience recording yesterday. The Join is members of The New Deal, Darren Shearer (drums) and Jamie Shields (keys). They toured with various special guests but on this night they played with Marc Brownstein (bass) and Aron Magner (keys) of The Disco Biscuits.
