Housewarming!

So i've been getting my stuff together for the first get-together at the new place and was going through my iTunes last night adding all the songs I thought people would like (plus a few guilty pleasures like this one: )

I was going through nearly everything I had, including all the new music I hadn't rated or listened to, and found a few block rockin' beats that I hadn't remembered ever hearing. Some of them are pretty old too. So I'll dedicate this post to stuff that isn't new but is really new to me and most likely songs you haven't ever heard either.


First, a jam Kris might like:
Gold Lion (Diplo's Optimo Remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
This is pretty fun though most certainly on the quirky side of quirky. It'll get you movin though. This played in a Diplo set at loud volumes before or after a bounce or dirty south jam would be sick. I am sitting here just imagining transitions into and out of this one.



Speaking of transitions, I would like to give a big shout out to Them Jeans who always comes through with tight ass tracks. Unfortunately for me, I can't stand to have parts of a song thrown out of rhythm. So I re-did a song he threw together a while back and made a few small changes to it to make it sync better. I sped it up a little to to keep some more integrity of the rap verses. So without anymore delay, the Bloc Party/Lil Scrappy masterpiece:

I Still Got Problems (TK Refix) - Them Jeans
I really really love both tracks. I might try to do it the other way around. Kele on top of the No Problems beat? We'll see.



I'll take a break to explain to everyone that I've accepted my fate as prey for big cats. Vail seems to be teeming with these ferocious felines and their claws are as sharp as their first marriage diamond engagement rings. Or their tiffany's bracelets. (Those are the two bracelets I seen so far btw.) Maybe I should just get into the thievery business. I'd probably come up hard. But I'm not like that. Plus I got a job! I'll be valeting cars at the Marriot in Lionshead at least until the ski season when I start my instruction job. The latter I'm incredibly pumped about. That means probably 6 days a week on the slopes if I get good hours. Which I will after I get recommended by all the people I teach. Woo!



Alright back to the music. The next one is incredible at the start and finish. And the rest is dubstep. You know how I am still a little on the fence on most of the dub movement... Here's the original track. I got the post taken down a second time. Dunno why so I deleted the original.

I think I'll actually go mix two remixes of In for the Kill together to eliminate the harshness that is the central theme of this track. Eh I dunno. on another listen it isn't too bad I guess. I mean it's well done, I just don't like some of the destructive wobbling.


Jesus H that took a long time. I first decided that it would be a good idea to spend time fixing the Michael Woods remix and then I would proceed to creating a super duper version of the Skrillex. Fun, but frustrating. Especially when the whole damn song depends on one insane transfer. And no it's not the one at the end that was the most important. I just listened to it and it was worth the time but dayum! I hope everyone enjoys the fruit of my labor. Shout out to Skream for helping me out with the Skrillex fix.

Here's the Skrillex:
In For The Kill (Skrillex Remix [TK Refix]) - La Roux

And the original Michael Woods:

------------------edit----------------------------------------------------------------
which is something I can't post on here. So i would like to say sincerely, fuck you to the Universal Music Group and the bitch asses at the DMCA who no only deleted the original of the michael woods, but felt they should also delete the fix-er-upper i did of the track. so fuck them and email me if you want either songs (ted.krause@me.com) I doubt la roux or michael woods (who i guess was professionally contracted by polydor (owned by universal) to do the remix of the song) had anything at all to do with hating on spreading the word about good music.
----------------------edit--------------------------------------------------------------


Woo. So now for one last one that isn't La Roux. I think I'll wake up with red hair after that...

Both are old independently, but I hadn't listened to this mash...ever. I've had it since November 9th last year! says my date modified column. Crazy that something this ridiculous can sit there for that long. Enjoy

Pon De Sexy Bitch (David Guetta vs. Major Lazer) - DJ Juicy (of White Folks Get Crunk fame)


That was a good ass post. Hope you enjoy it.



BONUS:
I can't help but post this. It's ridiculously tight. Counting Crows?!? Bitch I Might Be!

Pills (Proper Villains Remix) - Gucci Mane
