Silver Medallion is making a lot of moves these days. After bouncing between label negotiations, traveling the world, and taking over New York City, these dudes still find time to record some BANGERS with great producers! This one comes compliments of Overwerk – the production mind behind Canada’s The Girls Can Hear Us. Dude is flying solo now and is making some some crazy music that mixes the danceable elements of house with the bass madness of dubstep, topped off with some hip-hop vocals to keep the party moving. Check out the promo video below… it makes me want to travel to space, find the origins of man, and dance on the grave of god.
It’s insane to think that Brazilian home-boy, João Brasil, has been turning out tunes for 9 months already in his daunting series: 365 MashUps. With only 1/4 of the year to go, he delivers this CRAZY album that’s both abrasive and abstract, but overflowing with creativity.With great album artwork by Hardcuorethis is a pretty over the top concept, but definitely worth a mind-expanding listen.

Here’s a track we’re really excited to premier live for the first time tonight. The Girls Can Hear Us tore this song a new one with their remix and were about to take it up a notch on stage this evening.
FORGOT THAT I NEVER POSTED THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THIS SERIES!!! In my opinion, #4 this is the best disc in the collection. There are a dozen classics ranging from the east coast roots of Freestlye (the genre and the group), across the pond to the Brittish electro-glam of ABC, back to the wet coast with L.A. Dream Team and the Egyptian Lover (on here twice as himself and Jaime Jupitor). Along with the Dark Side of Disco compilation posted earlier, you’ve got enough computer music to rock any party back-to-the-future!
SUPER useful DJ tools for the working man! Ive been waiting to post this from Brooklyn as well, which makes this entry even more special. The file below contains 15 different track versions shouting out cities all over the country, from Miami to San Francisco.
Big thanks to the homie, Pickster One for making these. Check out his new website, www.picksterone.com, for TONS of useful cuts and upcoming events. Here’s what he had to say about making the tracks below…
“I grew up listening to West Coast & East Coast Hip-Hop. I’ve always been a fan of Biggie. He made so many club classics in such a short span of time , I’m convinced that you could drop a classic Biggie tune at any club night, in in city in the U.S., still today and it will go over fine, and the same for the next 10years. Which says alot considering he died 13 years ago. I’ve DJ’ed in many clubs in many cities all over the world, and have DJ homies that travel city to city all the time. So i’ve made a DJ Tool that you can use in different city’s utilizing the classic Biggie party break, ‘Where Brooklyn At?’ Flipping it up, ‘Where Phoenix At?’, ‘Where Vegas At?’, ‘Where Frisco at?’ etc. With a acapella loop at the end of the tune so you can mix into whatever you want after. (Dj Talk) haha Enjoy!”

Where Brooklyn At – Pickster One DJ Tool (All City Remixes)
My South American homeboy, Disco Killah is killing it pretty consistently these days. After the May release of his Savage EP, Mr. Killah follows up with a stellar remix album featuring producers big and small from around the world. I am really excited to be apart of this project and to be listed next to HUGE dance music names such as DJ Chernobyl and Mr. Vega. BIG thanks to Disco Killah for including my humble moombahton remix on here and go download the entire album for FREE on the Bang Records Soundcloud page.

This track got a lot of use this weekend @ the Theodore Hotel pool in Scottsdale and i figured you all might enjoy it as well. The track originally appears on Steve Aoki‘s Pillowface Mix and gives a fresh look to a classic track via the Kid Sis verse. The album version changes tempo and and is a pretty short edit so i threw on an extended intro/outro from the original Green Velvet track and now you have an easy yet effective DJ tool. Included as well is the Instrumental for your own grooving pleasure.
Totally forgot about posting this last week! Been working on a lot of music for my upcoming dates in the Midwest and New York. These beauties probably won’t get played at any of the shows unfortunately but if i stumble into some 1980′s B-boy battle in the Bronx, ill be lucky to have these. So will you!
