Made this today. Enjoy, playlist soon.
St. Vincent - Cruel
From the amazing Strange Mercy. Does this belong in a special topical segment of the blog? NO. I posted this because it is a fantastic piece of music. Enjoy it and shut up.
TRACK OF THE WEEK: In which I pick a the best single piece of music for the week.
Sanctuary - SBTRTK
This track is fire.
FRESH, FRESH, FRESH!: In which I post a brand new track that still lacks a full album or EP and was just released.
The Zone - The Weeknd
From The Weeknd’s new EP Thursday. Dope.
My mixtape is now officially part of Yewknee’s Summer Mix Series 2011, it’s called The Whitest Hip Hop You Know: Indie Kids Edition, it’s available for download now through their website (which leads back to my website) featuring 10 awesome rap tracks handpicked specially for those of you who want to get into hip hop but don’t really know what to jump into. It also has a very special audio foreword by Dr. Stephen Hawking (author of History of The Universe, The Universe Explained Vol.2 and History of Hip Hop In Space).
I think it’s pretty neat. If you downloaded it and liked it then please help me out by commenting through their website or reblogging (sharing it) to your other followers and friends.
PS: Last year I made another Mixtape for them called RESPECT: A Compliation of Badass Electro which also received good reviews and hits (it still gets downloads and reblogs today) so If you like this mixtape give the 2010 one a try, really dancy stuff.

STARFOXX
Corneria is the breakout single from Mexico City based producer StarFoxx. Sampling quite a few tracks with quite a few pop-culture references, StarFoxx creates music using both original composition and borrowed samples from famous tracks combining them to generate dance tracks with eclectic melodies and baselines. Influenced by electro/dance bands like Miami Horror, Midnight Juggernauts and Cut/Copy; StarFoxx is a brand new up and comer producer with great potential, give Corneria a track and if you like visit his official releases website and official soundlcloud for extraofficial content:
