There really are no words for this. My only questions are: how much, how is the food and can we go? Just watch & scratch your head. (via Stoney Roads)

The French Keep Killing It. Stupendous Visual Work From IF
Can we just start installing these in places? The CityFox Experience had great success with this level of crazy good visualization, but Team IF has really taken it one step forward. This kind of build for visualizations is incredible and people need to start giving this team money toute suite.
Twice Baked Tom Waits: Mashups with Cookie Monster & Aphex Twin
The mind reels. Eskmo with this needs a thousand upvotes or whatever their preferred internet point currency is. Is BitCoin safe again yet? Because both this remix & the one below are fantastic examples of what Tom Waits can be combined with. Cookie Monster really could tour in the place of Mr. Waits, the first video has convinced me. The Aphex Twin mashup is fantastic, dropping Computer Control into some of Tom Waits more unnerving vocal work. Eskmo’s got an album coming out, so put that into your face as well, but before you do, make sure this gets played for your more jumpy friends. And if you know someone who actually knows Mr. Waits, make sure he knows about this stuff too.
The Prodigy Keep It Going With The Day Is My Enemy & Wild Frontier.
Because I’m your favorite internet music celebrity, I’ve got not one, but two new Prodigy singles for you. Wild Frontier brings in a classic amen break driven breakbeat track that screams remix. I’d make one myself if I wasn’t too busy shaking my ass to it. The Prodigy are certainly no strangers to hyping a new release, but these are my favorite kind of bread-crumbs. The Day Is My Enemy has a perfect mix of vintage Prodigy sounds and modern production values. You can almost hear The Glitch Mob in their vocal sampling, which could an homage to the way new producers are pushing being angry with female vocals these days. The red fox returns for a feature spot on the official video for The Day Is My Enemy, but in a different style than their first single. The music remains massive and if you told me The Prodigy paid to work with a drumline from a marching band I’d believe you. The drum work is perfect, backing up the syrupy smooth vocals in a way only The Prodigy can.
MellowEDM, The Lighter Side Of Drum & Bass, Electro & EDM.
Get in on the ground floor ladies & gentlemen. If you’re looking for another YouTube stream to get the soothing, more chill side of the dance music spectrum, MellowEDM is off to a great start. If you wanted to learn about how to produce a channel like MrSuicideSheep, just watch this one rise. If they can keep cranking out fantastic, chilled out remixes of some amazing tunes and the interesting artists I’ve never heard of before, there won’t be anything stopping them. Klrx & Hybrid Minds are just two of the crazy good artists featured on the channel and I think it’s less than a week old. You know what to do, especially to smooth your way into Monday.
Music Connects People.
I don’t often post content from Tumblr, because WP breaks the long line of heart/note chains that make for epic Tumblr sharing among the younglings. This caught my eye though. Share more things, listen to more music together. Sing, dance, laugh, shine on your crazy diamonds. (Via Higgins, originally from Zonixx)
The Crystal Method Mashed Up With Ice-T Is Kind Of Wonderful.
Got this from a friend and I’ve gotta say, I can’t wait to see what else she posts up for us. I am always a fan of people breaking out the classic dopeness for me, and she’s given us a delightful present. A vintage re-edit of The Crystal Method, using a 7″ of I’m Your Pusher, a 12″ copy of Busy Child & a whole bunch of Fender action. This getting pushed into a DJM909, with a whole lot of Jupiter 6 work. For anyone under the age of 35, all of those words and numbers probably made no sense. But suffice it to say, two different kinds of physical media and a closet full of hardware was needed to make this. I know, that doesn’t make any sense, since you could just bomp it all on a laptop now, but this was before laptops. When DJs who wanted to make beats had to walk 10 miles in the snow, up hill both ways to the record shop. This kind of breakbeat sound isn’t something you hear outside of Vitamin B here in NYC, but boy oh boy is it wonderful. Get at it and show Ms. Mancrack some love.
DJ Joman Is Weirder Than Ever. [Epic Always Sunny In Philadelphia Remix]
Well this is stunning. I’m not sure how you even storyboard something like this. Joman, after totally dominating my earholes for months in 2013 with Daymanstep, has returned with an even more ambitious project. Instead of just pulling from a couple of shows, he pulled from multiple seasons, all the way up to Season 9. To be clear, everything you’re seeing, was actually aired by It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, so keep that in mind. It takes 2min to even get to the explosive proglectro remix that we were waiting around for. Through and through, this is a stunning project that will make your relatives uncomfortable. This is up there with some Williams Street shit, except this one actually has a dance beat and not that sweet, sweet Aqua Teen Hunger Force money. To be clear, a tremendous effort that I’ll use on people who say they love illadelphia & hate dance music. Just try not to show this to someone who is tripping too hard. That might not go well for them.
E.A.S.Y. Comes Around Again With Coming Around Again.
The Dynamic Duo is back! E.A.S.Y. have returned (that title kinda kills it from an SEO perspective right?) with a new live remix. This time, they’re busting out all the stops and there’s a giant table of turntables, buttons, keys & knobs for them to use. They blow into good form and push into a point that I really needs to start being made about live production. Like, this kind of trick performance is stuff that we don’t see outside of the turntablism competition, but I think if we’re going to get out of the shallow end of the “EDM isn’t music” critique, we need to start adding some performance with the knob twisting. There are plenty of ways to make dance music a LIVE experience, and we’ve seen it from A-Trak, The Glitch Mob, Ratatat and plenty of others. Time to add E.A.S.Y. to the mix.
Phoebe Ryan Does The Best R. Kelly Ignition Cover Ever. Perfect For Valentine’s Day.
Wow. Can we get way more of this please? Just in case you needed some gender flipped fun in your Valentine’s Day, Phoebe Ryan has got you covered. I’ve been sitting on this for just this special occasion. This is easily be best thing that has ever come out of R. Kelly’s “Remix To Ignition” that scourge of frat room dance floors during the oughts. (zero’s? naughties?). The subtle infusion of “Do You Like Love?” is a potent uplift for the tune which she carries forth swimmingly. Kudos to Ms. Ryan, so check out her news single and go hug something. (via Stoney Roads)
