I am done hearing people whine about how electronic music isn’t performed live, isn’t an art and/or isn’t music. Watch DJ ENFERNO play 4 instruments and construct a song right in front of your eyes. The combination of dubstep, piano synth melody, MPC-sickness & some fantastic old school vinyl will blow your mind and someone needs to get this guy to hang out with Beardyman.

Midnight Music: Daft Punk & Jay-Z – Computerized. Not Kidding!
Leaked Daft Punky + Jay-Z collaboration from around the Tron era it looks like. Confirmed by Pitchfork, but who knows, Jay-Z could show up tomorrow and make me look like a dick. But check it out, and feel that unique DP vocoder analog synth wash over you & decide for yourself. “Computerized” is currently sweeping across the blogs, so I expect a dozen of your “with-it” friends will post about it tomorrow. Smile & know you’ve heard it already. Also, the tune seems to be from “Son of Flynn” from the Tron Soundtrack. (via Pitchfork & EDMTunes).
I got an iTouch, but I can’t feel. ~Jay-Z
Different Sports As Dance Music Genres
Mixmag threw together a great little feature showcasing different genres of music as different sports. It’s pretty spot on, and now I can’t think of Armin Van Buuren without imagining him in volleyball shorts. That and Jay-Z as a cloistered, shady darts champion? Classic.

Shawn Carter the resident Brooklyn mogul reminds us that you better be hustling if you want to get ahead. Rock out y’all.
Album of RIGHT NOW: Chrono Jigga by “2 Mello”
Anyone who was anyone in 2004 remembers The Grey Album, heralding the birth of legit mash-up culture and solidifying DJ Dangermouse’s up-and-coming don’t give fuck status. The playful beats and chords mixed wonderfully and created a laudable success. If you’ve never heard of this stuff, imagine if you saw this randomly 9 years ago.
Various mashup projects with the Black Album, with varying levels of success. The Linkin Park one came close to topping the Grey Album and then it all kind of petered out. Until now that is. This remix project is fantastic. The melodies are used excellently, the samples are dropped at just the right time and the project is neat and pay-what-you-can. Exactly what a hit should be, and I encourage you to toss a few bucks into the tip jar if you ever played the game or rocked the album. It’s worth it to reward people taking cool cross-boundary risks, plus hell, you probably spent more than that on corn you didn’t even want to day 😀
