Hello - Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette


Heard this new track at the Alex Metric show in Toronto at Wrongbar last weekend and had to add it, even though it isn't an Alex Metric song. Martin Solveig is a DJ and producer from Paris, France and has collaborated with Dragonette on a previous single 'Boys & Girls'. Check him out here.

"Un-Break My Heart" - Weezer (Toni Braxton cover)


Possibly the best thing Ive heard from Weezer in a long time...possibly because it was recorded 5 years ago. Rivers dropped the tune just this week. Apparently Rick Rubin suggested that they cover it. Yet more proof that Rick Rubin is the fuckin man.

Suck on These: Part 1



It's been a while and I have a lot of dope tracks that I wanted to share but it was too much for one post. So instead I've decided to split them up into two. Recently I've been listening to a lot of hip hop and rnb. So this post will cover those genres and the next will be everything else grouped together.



First up we have one of my favs., hometown hero Drizzy Drake. Off of his mixtape Young Sweet Jones 2, track number 16: Greatness. His smooth flow compliments an even smoother beat. Id like to see Jay go off on this one.

Greatness - Drake









Next we have something off of Mar Variations. Netherlands vocalist Mar is apparently releasing a different variation of a popular song every month on his website marvariations.net. The one that caught my attention is his take on Lil Wayne's Single. Check it out and let it take over your speakers and genitals.

I'm Single (Lil Wayne cover) - Mar










N.E.R.D. has a new song! That's good. But someone other than them produced it. That's bad. It was Daft Punk that produced it! That's good. But the song comes with a curse! That's bad. But it comes with a free frogurt! That's good. The frogurt is also cursed. That's bad. But you get your choice of toppings. That's good! The toppings contain potassium benzoate...That's bad. Anyways now that I've made my simpsons halloween reference. Here is the damn track.

Hypnotize You - N.E.R.D. (Produced by Daft Punk)









Kid Cudderrrrrrrr. Switchin' up the flow and goin a little faster here really works well with this beat. It just clicks. Hope he does more like dis one hyere! (last sentence to be spoken in tone of Leo Dicaprio's fakie south african accent from Blood Diamond).

Switchin Lanes - Kid Cudi









You ready for some west coast gangsta shit?! Game feat. Dre and Busta. When I heard the track I instantly liked it and you will too...if not, game will come to your home and murder you.

Shot Down - The Game feat. Dre and Busta Rhymes










50!!!!!! Man I love this guy. He's so easy to hate, its part of why I like him. Get Rich or Die Tryin' is the main reason why I love the guy though. That album got worrrrnn out on my cd player. Thats right, cd player. Bumped the shit out of that album. Anyways here is a new track from mah dood that im feelin'

They Burn Me - 50 Cent










Ya know I couldn't go long without posting a mash-up. Hood Internet back at it again with a smooth mixdown of Andre 3000 and John Legend vs Local Natives. Seriously does Hood Internet ever not deliver?

Cards and Quarters and Green Lights - The Hood Internet (Andre 3000/John Legend vs. Local Natives)








Nicki motherfuckin' Minaj. Either you love her or hate her. Either way shes here and slaying some serious rappers on their own tracks. Here is one of hers:

700's - Nicki Minaj feat. St. Laz










Warning: Highly addictive song. Chris "Ladies Man" Brown beating this song down like it was his girlfriend. Oh and he brought some friends with him. Kanye West, T.I., Drake, Rick Ross, Fabolous and Andre 3000. Need I say more? This is the extended version and also 0:37 - 0:57 of this song is tooooo good.

Deuces (Extended Version) - Chris Brown feat. Drake, T.I., Kanye West, Fabolous, Rick Ross and Andre 3000












Stay tuned for Suck on These Part 2

Relics of Warmer Weather


After too long away from the site I've finally got around to posting some new tracks. Actually, it simply took me this long to sit down with JTokyo and have him teach me how to upload songs onto the new hosting site...but now I'm good so enjoy these:

First up is my favortie track of the summer from Ron Reesor & Dan Saenz. The duo are resident DJ's at the Playboy Mansion! so they must be doing something right. Also the artists have signed with Ultra Records, the label the brought us David Guetta, Kaskade, and Deadmau5. The track 'Everything' feat. Myah reminds me of the first time I heard Morgan Page's 'The Longest Road'. With haunting vocals and catchy hooks it will pull you right in.

Everything (feat. Myah) - Ron Reesor & Dan Saenz









Speaking of Morgan Page, I saw him again this summer in Toronto at the Guvernment for a great set with alot of his new material. It reminded my about the first time I saw him and heard a great remix of Tegan & Sara's 'Alligator' and at the time I couldn't find it but now about 6 months later here it is! As I'm a huge fan you will be hearing more from him I'm sure but also check him out here
Alligator (Morgan Page Remix) - Tegan & Sara










Porter Robinson is an upcoming artist from North Carolina with a hard hitting house sound infused with dubstep elements.
Say My Name - Porter Robinson








I know we already posted a remix of Shelter by The xx but I couldn't pass up posting this mashup with Kaskade & Deadmau5.
I Remember Shelter - The xx vs. Kaskade & Deadmau5










The Tings Tings are back! they have a new single out called 'Hands' which is pretty awesome, look for their new album tentatively titled 'Kunst' (which apparently means 'art' in German) to be out soon - no release date has been set, their label is probably still busy convincing them to change the album title..
Hands - The Ting Tings
