So I went to Kaskade at Beta yesterday night. I ended up dancing with this person for an hour and a quarter. I didn't get a name or a number and all I know is that she goes to school in LA somewhere and was friends with a girl who's a 2011 year at DU. Don't know her friend's name either.

All I can say is that I've never once felt so connected with and attracted to someone before. I dreamt of her, I thought about her all day, and I can't shake it. We'll see if time fixes this. My stomach is a pit.

Where are you?

Snowball

This almost died. But then I went to an event that needed posting about...


Start out with this one via KvB's audible coffee... It's mellow dubstep and I love it:
Rihanna - What's My Name (Blackmill Dubstep Remix)


Let me first say that Snowball was great. Everyone that I wanted to see and then got to see put it down. I was honestly not disappointed by anyone I was excited about seeing. Porter had some technical difficulties with his power cutting out, but everyone else was able to put up a dope set regardless of anything that might have come along.

I will say that my single favorite moment of the weekend was when Bassnectar dropped David Banner's Play into his set. It was only like 30 seconds, but i love that beat and was happy to hear a throwback. Go to 1:30
So Sick!
I was also dancing with a dope dancer when that came on. Which brings me to my "grinds my gears" section. How are you going to dance with somebody sexually for like two and a half hours and then after let them in on the fact that you have a boyfriend by having him come and pick you up. I mean.... what the fuck is up with girls talking massive game up here and then just acting like they were just being friendly about stuff? Cause you might have been on drugs or drunk but you still know what you're goddamn doing...

Oh and to the other person that I'm super interested in right now... how about you stop being so damn hard to get in touch with? We hung out, it was a good time, we wanted to hang out again, it's now been like 2 weeks and no fault of my own. I can only text and call so much.

Bitches be Wildin!


Back to Snowball... Diplo was bananas. The dancehall/afrikaans type stuff that's popping up in his music more and more frequently is really really dope to dance to. Porter was great. Pretty Lights was mediocre at best simply because I didn't like the music. They put on a good show but the music wasn't my cup of tea. Savoy was incredible. I hadn't seen them but they were dope. Classixx threw down on some 80s inspired groove shit that was super fun. Bassnectar, like I already said, was fantastic. Baths and Afroman were the dopest part of Sunday. Flaming Lips...not my vibe. Eskimo was basically a poor man's Baths. He was basically trying the same stuff but not getting even close to as technical with it. Eodo was pretty good. Cool to see some old guys killing it.

The weekend was an overall triumph...with the exception of the ice to slip on, the puddles to soak in, and the mud to cover your clothes with. Concrete venue next year.

Now all I want to do it go to a great trance and/or prog house show. That was the only thing missing. And you all know how much I love my techno....




Check this little re-master I did of: "Let Go" by Frou Frou
It was just an idea I had had for a while and thought would work. It turned out pretty decent.




I'm out! Don't be a slut!

Hoodrat Shit

So my recent trip to Breck to hit freeway still has me so krunk that I feel like posting some ignant ass jams.

So enjoy these:



This is a burner. Beat is fire.




Dayum. This is so ignorant. Get Buck!





Like Wally World, open all night long. Had to shout to texas on this one.

I'm probably going to get all the links pulled if i put them up, so hit me up if you want the tracks.


Here's a bonus:

Got It Sowed Up - Mike Jones.
(The American Dream is still coming soon)

Please take a long hard look through your textbook...cause I'm history

Start off with this one cause it came on random on my iTunes and it's buttery smooth blues:


I've recently been listening to alot of the same horrible pop music that I have always listened to while I snowboard. But this is the list of songs that made today possibly the best day of shredding I've ever had. I just had thrown on some random stuff on the iPod and it turned out pretty awesome (incredibly cheesy).


Here I Am - The Explosion
I remember seeing these guys at Warped Tour. Cool show.



Cave In - Owl City
I said cheesy...this song just makes me happy.



C'est Beau La Bourgeoisie (Kylian Mash Remix) - Discobitch
Like....Duh!



Camera Phone - Da Musicianz
This beat is UNDENIABLE!!



On a side note, screw people who talk crap about Bluesky basin. Oh yeah, you're completely right...It does have "the worst traffic on the mountain and some of the worst snow and worst lifts and it just sucks cause I hate it." Which brings me quickly to my next point. Don't be a shit-talking mean drunk. That especially goes for people that have names that translate to "without worry." Lets try to pick a fight in a bar with a dude who has tattoos and is sitting quietly at the bar with a beer because he obviously "thinks he's sooo cool cause he has tattoos. look at mr cool over here." Holy crap. Gurl, you dumb!


I just heard the song "Some Cut" by Trillville again. So great.

Stranger Danger

I realize I haven't posted anything for a month. Oh well. You're not missing much. I haven't really gotten anything new since I've been working alot. Except for this one song that I found on Pandora.
It's beautiful...

Oceanlab - Lonely Girl by MEACULPAKSK

I was going to write up a whole bunch of philosophical nonsense that describes my constant yearning for company, but I'll save you the time. I can hear beautiful songs about an unnamed love and I have no one to insert into those lyrics. I feel like I've always had a crush on somebody since I was in middle school. Not anymore. I guess I'm just jaded by what comes down to a simple lack of self-respect that I see in so many people these days.


À bientôt.

Where Do You Draw The Line?

This post is for Jeff first and foremost, but also for anyone who wants to slay a party. I am about to post party party tracks. I have 4 in the quiver right now but we'll see how many end up here.

Enjoy all you dance fanatics...


1. Ke$ha. How could it not be her? She drinks whiskey out of waterbottles... She's down to party.
This joint is incredible in it's original state. But this 128bpm version by my man Liam Keegan is even doper. (Also. the Teenage Dream mix is also super tight).
We R Who We R (Liam Keegan Radio Edit) - Ke$ha




2. Gagayonce. The Telephone video was awesome. The song is decent. This remix adds intricacies and intrigue. It definately gives those that are intoxicated plenty of time to get hyped and then it drops a fast dance beat that would stoke the hardiest of the female party-goers. The re-drum reminds me a little bit of the back beat in Lose Control by Missy. It's also super easy to mix into anything. Which is good if you're DJing.
Telephone (Alphabeat Remix) - Lady Gaga & Beyonce




3. DeadEastMovement. I hate this track. But that doesn't mean that it won't get the 99% of people that aren't jaded with both tunes to dance. I actually am not completely opposed to Like a G6 yet but I'm not a fan of the mau5 anymore since his current live sets are bullshit. There. I said it. Don't pay to see deadmau5. Just buy the music somewhere else. What a waste of 45 dollars. If you can find a ticket for 15, by all means, go. It's 15 dollars better than listening to his tracks at your friend's house...cause the lights. Anyway, enough of that rant. This song is pretty well done and, like I said, will make anyone dance.
Ghosts On A G6 - Basic Physics




4. DubDubBub. So what's up with DJ sets without any dubstep? is what your audience is asking. Thats why you need these two tracks. Both are face-melting. I'll just consider them a double dose because my number 5 is mind-blowing. Wait for it. So number 4.1 is a Metric jam called Gold, Guns, Girls. But it is nothing like the original. Not only is it more beautiful, but it is also a dose of pure brain dynamite. If you come to a lull in your set/want to take a small break, you have a minute and a half to chill before you unleash destruction on the crowd.
Gold Guns Girls ( Philthy B & Metaphase Remix ) - Metric

The 4.2 choice I'm not so sure about. It's a pop-dub remix of Keep It Goin Louder by Major Lazer. It's a maybe play. Hear your crowd, Jeff. I don't know how Dallas gets down. They'd love it in Denver. It's pretty standard dubstep even though it's not as grimy as some tracks. It still finishes with the main melody so you can mix it into anything. Or a fade-out might work cause the siren drums are loud enough to make the lyrics inaudible if you mix it right.
Keep It Going Louder (DZ vs NTRLD Remix) - Major Lazer




5. Sexy Miley Cyrus? This track is a mistake. It is too hot. I openly admit I love the original Party in the USA. No problem saying that. I also loved David Banner's filthy beats before he fell off that map (really, has anyone heard a banner beat in a while? maybe i'm out of the loop). So I want you to combine filth with pro-America pop music. Here you go. It's a little slow, but you can honestly just cut, play the whole thing, and then start with something different. It's that good.
Party in the U.S.PLAY (David Banner x Miley Cyrus) - Yo! Huckleberry


So enjoy those. They will help your average living-in-the-present under 30 girl dance. And what's what you want as a DJ anyway...

I would put a bonus but I wouldn't have anything to post for next time.

BTW, I like brown. And I was trying out a late-fall color scheme...

Chill Mix v2

So I decided to go ahead and do it.

I put the track list in the comments of the file. I've over trying to keep my music a secret... :)

I did it about 6 times and remastered the 4th and 5th time together to see if I could get it really pro. Unfortunately, it sounded way way way more bunk than I had heard it going in the first time. So I did it a 6th time just for poops and giggles as kind of a last try effort to see if I could hit it on the head. I think it turned out much better than the times before.

This isn't the first chill mix. Not even close. It's super minimal compared to what you're used to hearing from my blog. But I like it and I like the way it turned out.

Now I release it to you to decide. I think it fits the bill of a 'chill mix.'



Chill Mix 2 by Ted Krause
Remember, you can download with the down arrow on the side of the player.

The bass is really heavy and there are alot of intricacies in there so I hope you enjoy the result of my boredom. Holla if you want all the original tracks. I don't feel like posting them up tonight cause I got shit to do tomorrow!

ENJOI

First Snow

I would like to dedicate this post to the inevitable feeling of detest I will probably have for snow after the winter is done. I mean I'll still love some aspects of it but I anticipate hating the annoying aspects that will make themselves evident soon enough. So cheers to you, white stuff.



I've been struggling to think of stuff to post. I'm overwhelmed by the unceasing posting ability of Todd and the daily methodical music emails from Kyle. I can't do that anymore. I just don't have the gusto.

But speaking of gusto, I learned yesterday that skating is still way up there on the list of things I love to do. A little too late because a short 12 hours after I was battered and bloody thanks to mal-performed trickery, the snow was upon us. I don't know if I ever wrote this down when I was in Paris, but since this acts as a type of journal, I'll recount the story now. So I was skating in front of my apart at the musée d'orsay ledges one sunday evening in (probably) may or june when I met a brazillian kid that just came to skate the ledges. We proceeded to talk and skate and try to get 15 foot boardslides on the marble. I remember being stoked to meet another random person that just wanted to skate. That's all. Good story right? Well let me transition to my Saturday night.

So I got off work and went to Whiskey Jacks with Kevin. Kev wanna be like Ted. haha. Anyway, I was there chillin and trying to find somebody that would dance with me. (On a side note, why are white girls so creeped out when you ask them to dance? I'm not asking for you to conceive my child... Dance with a guy if he asks you and if you're not feeling it, then tell him to get lost. Don't dance seductively in front of me and then act like I demanded one of your kidneys when I ask to dance.) Anyway, Walz and LJ and Dan show up and start dancing too. Then! out of the corner of my eye I say this red-latex-dress clad female. Dayum. So I go talk to her and ask her the reason for her sexy nurse halloween costume. I got an answer and was about to leave her alone (because of all the previous weird looks I'd gotten from chicks that night) and then she asked me what my name was...keeping me there. I was blown away. Wait, you want to talk to me?!? Okay... So we talk a little and dance a little and then talk a little more. But damn it, her cousin had to leave and since she was from not Vail, she had to go with. 'Edwards is a long ass taxi ride' was the thought process, I'm sure. So she left. I was bummed. She was really awesome. The power ended up going out and then I went to some other peeps house, met some chillers, and finally returned home. As it turns out, the foxy lady from the club had found me on facebook. I woke up to a call that said I didn't have to go to work and then a facebook request from her. That was a good way to wake up. So she left to go back to her state of residence, but she might be coming back for Thanksgiving. It would really be cool to hang out with her more. She seemed sweet and incredibly genuine (not to mention, seductive). Oh and she was Brazilian. There! Tied the two stories together.


I watched the movie Holy Rollers this afternoon. Pretty good flick. It was shot really well even though they didn't get into the personal sentiments of some of the characters enough. I would most certainly recommend it. It also had a pretty awesome soundtrack. And the song at the top that you're probably listening to now, is from the movie. I'd recommend buying some of the tracks here.

Living with John has been great so far. I'm happy to have someone else to be around. The by-myself living situation was okay, but I missed the human contact. Of course there are some things that he does that I don't and vice-versa, but we'll figure it out.



I want to make another chill mix pretty soon. Maybe tomorrow? We'll see. I have alot of songs that I've already added to a potentially-using-this playlist on iTunes. I could take it in a few directions. I'm trying to decide between a mellow drum & bass feel or a more indie rock feel. Maybe I'll do two. Maybe not. Regardless, this song kinda spurred the desire: If you like this, buy it or dirpy it.

My last song is a remix of a video I posted a really long time ago when I was still in France. Mimosa killed it: DAYS GO BY (MiMOSA REMiXXX)- DiRTY VEGAS by TigranMiMoSA Also, if you're not familiar with soundcloud, you can download by clicking the little down arrow above...

Enjoi.



BONUS
Oh shoot. I'll post this one. It's Heavy, but the melody of the song might get used in the chill mix. Can't decide yet. Gold Guns Girls ( Philthy B & Metaphase Remix ) by Philthy B
