DJ Ayres – Flashing Lights.


Eleven’s Rollin’ In The Deep remix



It took a minute, but I FINALLY got this remix of John Legend’s take on Adele’s monster hit polished up just hours before heading to the airport for my European jaunt. (A rougher version is on the promo mix I put up for the trip over here.) Thanks to the Yum Yum guys in Germany for providing the inspiration, Eugene Tamborine for the additional keys, and Icewater for his deft engineering hand. I hope you enjoy!

Heavy Warmup



I’m starting a new mix series on my site called Heavy Warmup. I love this DJ slot, it’s the time of the night when people are getting their second drink, the dancefloor is just starting to fill up, and the DJ can tease the crowd with great forgotten jams and new secret weapons. So I’ve asked a bunch of my favorite DJs to record a heavy warmup mix and I’ll be posting a new one every couple of weeks on my website.

DJ Eleven – Heavy Warmup Vol 2

DJ Eleven throws down a Heavy Warmup set! Tony Toni Tone, Pharrell, Stevie Wonder, Nate Dogg and loads more of your favorite 11 PM jams, quick mixed to perfection. 

DJ Ayres – Heavy Warmup Vol 1

Here is Volume 1, recorded live at Bond in Las Vegas. Expect LL Cool J, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Ruff Ryders, Madonna, Neyo, Sharon Brown, Lil Louis, Janelle Monae, Robin S and a ton of unexpected 11 PM heat. Pre-bangers!   Read the rest of this entry »


Free T&A / Crookers / Munchi



The Zombies for Money remix of Torro Torro “Blue Blouse” is free on RCRDLBL. EP out May 8! Listen to the whole thing on Soundcloud now.


Torro Torro – Blue Blouse by T&ARecords

Crookers remixed Munchi’s “Shottas” featuring Mr Lexx! And lucky for you they’re giving it away for free on their blog. We have a whole EP of Shottas remixes coming in the next month or so on T&A records, and you can buy the original on the Murda Sounds EP.

As many of you know, Munchi suffered a seizure while on tour in Hawaii two weeks ago.  He was in a coma for 9 hours and in the hospital for 11 days.  The seizure was the result of a intracerebral hemorrhage in the left side of his brain, with no prior history of illness.  He’s doing a lot better now, out of the hospital and resting up.  Yesterday we started a fundraiser and raised over $5000, bought Munchi a flight home to Rotterdam and covered the cost of his meds.  Today we’re working on getting his hospital bills, which will surely be very high.  If you haven’t given yet, please visit his page and do what you can to help:  http://giveloop.com/help-munchi

The Freshest



TheRub_2-5-11

This Saturday we’ll be joined at Southpaw by The Freshest.  All four dudes are incredible DJs, and obscenely overqualified to play the basement at The Rub, but that’s how we do!  For a preview of Marvel, Rico Uno, Kutcorners and Seko, listen to the madness that is their What the F mixtape:

Vinyl Mondays: Meez 7″s



Kenny Meez (Federation Sound) released a handful of great medleys and refixes in the late 90s which made it a whole lot easier to run dancehall for hip-hop crowds.  These 7″s had me chasing down all the originals, I remember this is definitely the first place I heard Joseph Stepper “Wife” and Cobra “Gundalero.”  Recently Kenny sent out links for these records and gave me the blessing to share them, so here you go:

Sade – Love is Stronger Than Pride (Meez remix) (mediafire)

Kenny Meez – Old School Medley (mediafire)

L-Boogie – That Ting (Dance Hall Mix) (mediafire)

Faith Evans – Love Like This (Meez remix) (mediafire)

I start of every week with Vinyl Monday on the Flashing Lights blog.  Go download tons of classic and rare dance music ripped straight from my record collection!
