OCTOBER SECOND HARVEST
So here's another mix on time for the end of October as we finish up our last harvest. As we continue to grow and progress in our music features we also hope to shortly be sending our subscribers some interviews with some of these artists; asking them how they might see music providing an influential ground for a sustainable ecological culture. The idea that art, media, and design will influence our society is indubitable but the necessary belief in that potential in it's ability to make true positive change, is that there? That's what these artists will perhaps pitch to us, and even their causes for making music and creating the atmosphere as they see fit. Stay tuned, and you wont regret it: November's gonna be another good month for music!
So here it is!
Thanks Much, Mando
Tracklist Run-down:
Matthewdavid - 2012
California grown artist beat-maker is just setting the tone with his new EP "Producers in 2012 Learn to Spread Love". So True! I'm feelin' it! Woot! Catch a free download via selftitledmag!

eerojohannes - HEYGURLGIMMIEURURL
Give it up. As mentioned on the upload itself "It's 2012". So this song is here to keep it totally 2012! Not only does eerojohannes produce but his talents are strongly exemplified in his artwork and design. Again, no brainer for an artist feature to wrap up this October.

Real Connoisseur - So What
"So what? So what about you?" This is the begging of a fat night of dance and vibes and is a necessary feature for any music blog entry. The jungle dance groove at the end fires up the mood for endless bouncing and get'n'down. Get wild! At the age of 19, it's unbelievable how much this guy is killin' it. Woopwoop free download, too!

Endlines - You Make Me
This track comes from an exceptional British house artist by the name of Endlines. With a fat dance line like that it can deffs switch up the pace and keep the groove alive. Cheers!

Destiny's Child - Cater 2 U (Carling Rose Remix)
This song is more then romantic, I can't even grip how much I love the original and this remix is such a dope rework. I recently played this at a party and a good friend of mine and I started vibin' so hard when he really got listening in on what Beyonce was actually singing about. Who wouldn't want to be treated this way after a long hard days work? Carling Rose, this is a fat remix and my favorite of the recent release of renditions.

Sweater Beats - MLLN DLLR (Karma Kid Remix)
Whoa! Sick launch and perfect timing to end October on a killer note. This remix also compliments Karma Kid's last feature on our playlist as well as Sweater Beats' track "MLLN DLLR". It's pretty self explanatory, just by listening one can hear the careful thought and detail put into layers of the track. Karma Kid always keeps the atmosphere moving, and the motions created in the mix are mindblowing. All that with more MC chatta on this track and it keeps bumpin'...

Cassie - Me & U (Mak & Pasteman Bootleg)
This is the hottest track of the century, or am I just imagining this? Whatever it is.. this track takes you there.. I was asked "Can you play something I can like sing to and dance too? as if the grooves weren't phat enough. Needless to say I sent this track their way and it was bullseye! Also, it's a free download because Mak & Pasteman themselves knew it would be unruly to prevent any kind of access to this one. So add it to your library, because you just might need it one day.
Highstreet, Fion & Aaron Lipsett - Around
This Rick Astley rework is insane. Sounds like I'm skipping on the breaks. This trio remix is an ultimate release for this month and with a free remix to boot! Woot Highstreet proves to be a sick collaboration and now teaming up with an even greater line-up as if they weren't already like the Swedish House Mafia of 2012's future beats!

Tempogeist x Lisa Dank - Romeo (Monitor 66 Remix)

George Fitzgerald - Child (Geeeman Rework)
Ok, Ok, so "Child" is my favorite track of the year and I don't take lightly to remixes of my favorite songs... Yeah right I usually dig anyone's true rework -like Geeman's interpretation on this one. Get wonky! This is a hyped up dance jam with such a comical upbeat loose dance vibe that I chose to feature this track of the recently released remixes.

Feed Me & Crystal Fighters - Love Is All I Got (Larse Remix)
For some reason Crystal Fighters is so on point with their vocals and rhythm that I haven't been able to refute their unique and, for me, a highly desired sound. I'm not a big fan of the new anthemic electro that's been coming out so I didn't enjoy to original too much, It is worth the listen, personally my desired flavor was for something much more smooth... So when I saw the new rework I was excited to listen and Larse delivered with this one it's perfect!

Justin Timberlake - My Love (Bear//Face Remix)
I love these slowed and throw'd remixes that completely disregard people's previous familiarity with the track. Listen for the cowbell, it's there.

Druid Cloak - The Blessing of the Grove
If you know me in my personal life you would know that I work with citrus and specifically the many orchards and groves in California, so when I saw this I was stoked. As if the artists name, Druid Cloak, wasn't appealing enough with my incredible fascination for classical fantasy roleplay lore and Celtic theology, this album brings a unique sound for your enjoyment. I was actually able to contact him and see if he was down to answer some questions I had after he mentioned that he "makes what the earth tells [him]". I saw a good opportunity to get his views on nature and music and perhaps how something as mechanical as electronic music can remain as organic as the wilderness.

Kirko Bangz & French Montana - Walk on Green (The Principle Edit)
This is a feel good song if you got a little bit of cash and a little bit of green. :O The Principal is puttin' out the fire with his remixes.

$leepyhead - Can't Fade Me

Flume - Sleepless (Cosmo&Paat Remix)
This remix is in my top songs of all 2012. I am so hooked on this groove that I wont ever let it go! My pops even walked in (he himself also a musician) and said, "This music sounds broken..." To Which I responded, "Aw, you don't like this one?" and he replied, "No I love this... it's just so fresh I wouldn't expect to see anything like this come out until this point in year." I'm always surprised how smart he is sometimes. -___-

Husky - Wuts Luv
This kid has got it, wherever he's at ladies are gonna be followin'. These remixes he spits are more then I can chew and I can't even put it down enough for this guy. This is another artist who I was able to connect with for a possible interview and we're super stoked for this one. So again, stay plugged in!
Television Sky - Nowhere Fast (Husky's Cool Calm Revision)
Another fresh Husky track. This one is so hot that Husky had to drop it!

Disclosure - Latch ft. Sam Smith (T. Williams Club Edit)
Remember earlier when I mentioned remixes of my favorite songs of all time? No? Well Latch is one of my favorites of the year, if not in all time. This T. Williams Remix does some justice too so I couldn't/wouldn't not feature it as an October selection! :D
