FUCK + A MINDBLOWING PERFORMANCE FROM DEADMAU5, FEED ME, A-TRAK & FATBOY SLIM

Part I:
Take me back.  Take me back to Halloween, to the crazy fucking weekend that just passed, to raging my face off at Deadmau5 in San Francisco . . . because I seem to be having some difficulty readjusting to real life -- and I know most of you fuckers are probably feeling the same way. So you know what? Get ready to get down with some filthy beats, and then I'll take you back with me. Back in time to Saturday night to relive all the madness. Here we go.

I Need To Feel Dangerously Alive (Kane Michael's Mega Smashup) - Dirty South & Thomas Gold vs James Blunt vs Loops of Fury Posted this massive smashup on our Facebook page last week; so no worries if you missed it. I mean, it's not like it's kinda fucking epic or anything.


We Found Love (Chuckie Remix) - Rihanna feat Calvin Harris Rihanna's girly, pop-infused sound combines with Calvin Harris' euphoric beat to create an instant hit, while Chuckie's remix dominates the track to drop an eargasm far more satisfying than the original. Yuuup, you pretty much can't help but smile when you hear it.


Happy Violence (Kaskade Remix) - Dada Life Not only were we here at SleepFuckParty™ already obsessed with this banger (and the several versions of it previously released), but Kaskade just takes it to the next level . . . as always. Enjoy the fuck out of this.


Dark Side Of The Tomahawk (Myon & Shane 54 Mashup) - BT & Adam K. vs Ernesto vs Bastian Yeah, in case you couldn't tell -- I'm kinda sorta addicted to mashups. Not a lot tho, just a lil bit. (Oh who am I kidding here . . . I fucking love them.) This one starts off slow, then picks up just in time to blow your mind. Don't say I didn't warn you.

  
Helena Beat (Lenno Remix) - Foster the People More funky beats and feel good vibes coming your way from Foster the People.


City Kids - Mustard Pimp feat Dirtyphonics It's a difficult task to describe Mustard Pimp's sound in one genre; their music, along with the addition of Dirtyphonics, is a distinct and refreshing mix of hard electro, dubstep and house. "Society has rules, you know," the song goes. "Ha! We don't wag our tails for anyone." Bring on the filth and bass, baby. 


Beautician 2.0 - Dillon Francis Beautiful remake of an already amazing song. By slowing it down and chilling it out, Dillon Francis amplifies the beat and delivers Beautician 2.0. Let me just say that you're killin it, Dillon. Killin it.


Trust Issues (OVOXO Remix) - Drake x The Weeknd Ch-ch-check out Drake's new shit -- OVOXO is his Canadian-based collabo with the Weeknd. OVO stands for Drake's part in the group, "October's Very Own", while the XO is the Weeknd's counterpart; an X for a kiss, O for a hug. Pretty fucking dope.


And finally, I went to see AC Slater in SF last Wednesday; he rocked EPR hard (Electro Pop Rocks, a popular electronic event that takes place weekly in the city). "I don't waste time with the bassline" -- well, you heard him! And you know I love bass. o_O






Bassline Time - AC Slater by acslater

Part II:
Ready for a trip down the rabbit hole with me? As we travel back in time to Saturday evening, to a night of pounding bass, flashing lights and trippy beats. Picture Deadmau5, A-Trak, Feed Me, and Fatboy Slim tearing it UP in the city of San Francisco. Now let me tell you all about it.

The night got off to an early start: the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium opened its doors around 5:15 to a crowd of excited ravers and partygoers all decked out in Halloween costumes and sparkly, fluorescent colors. Girls in cat ears and butterfly wings, glitter all over their faces; boys in bright neon shirts and (my personal favorite) guys walking around in mau5 heads, everyone pumped and ready for the epic and crazy night ahead of them. 

By the time I got in at about 7:30, Feed Me was already playing. Past the main entrance out onto the dance floor overlooking a surprisingly small stage, the energy of the crowd just wasn't at its maximum potential; as much as I love me some Feed Me, it was still just too early to really get in the zone. 

Though I can appreciate his dubby sound and filthy drops, it wasn't until halfway through A-Trak's set that the dance floor started to come to life. He dropped classic after classic -- like Daft Punk's Robot Rock and Barbara Streisand, just to get everyone going -- and when Heads Will Roll came on, the crowd went all-out nuts. Not to mention his remix of The Rapture's How Deep Is Your Love, another crowd pleaser. 

Fatboy Slim opening with Praise You

When Fatboy Slim came on, though, the whole vibe of the event completely changed. They had re-done the stage after Feed Me and  A-Trak were done playing (which wasn't really fair to them in my opinion, but it is what it is). Just his opening itself blew me away. Suddenly the world became a hallucinogenic mess of color and light, playing in a swirling haze in the air; spooky images flickered on the screen as the song repeated, "What the Fuck." and the crowd sang along. That's all I could think -- "What the fuck is going on!?"

After images and psychedelic sweeps of color flashed through the air, imprinting themselves in my vision, not unlike a kaleidoscope. One of my favorite songs from his set, Push the Tempo, just filled the whole place with euphoria and left me smiling nonstop. After climbing the stairs to the seats overlooking the stage, I couldn't help but marvel at the auditorium's setup; by the time we could hear the first striking chords of Deadmau5's Where My Keys, the entire stage had been transformed.


My absolute favorite moment was when Sofi came out to perform Sofi Needs a Ladder. The girl is just way too fucking badass. As a friend of mine commented, "She's just on top of the world right now!" True that bitches.

It's no wonder he's such a famous DJ; Deadmau5's Meowingtons Hax Tour has been a complete and total fucking success. His music is an eclectic mix of hauntingly sweet notes with dirty, dubby lil wobbles interspersed throughout the melodies. The results are songs that both pump you up and chill you out, whatever you're feelin at the time. Which means this: Every beat he dropped -- Some ChordsMathsRaise Your Weapon (Noisia Remix), One Trick Pony (feat SOFI), and more -- was guaranteed to make the crowd go wild.

My only complaint was that the night ended way too early for me. The Mau5 stopped playing around 11:30, almost as if he were about to leave his fans begging for more. After hearing the crowd chant, "One more song! One more song!" He finally came back on to play until midnight. So many other DJ's of his fame and caliber go hard until at least 2 A.M. or later, so why such a fuss over playing until 12? My question to you, Mr. Mau5: Your fans can all hang. So why can't you?

Other than that, the night was absolutely unreal. Can't say I would mind jumping into a time machine and going back to do it all over again and again . . . and again. 

Much love from your favorite degenerate,

FUCK

Yeah, you wish.

Love Electric (Marcus Maison & Will Dragen Remix) – Roma Pafos Dreamy lil progressive tune dropped by upcoming duo Marcus Maison and Will Dragen.  Pretty much perfect for that all-night cuddle sesh.  Or, uh… whatever else you might be in the mood for. ;) 

Walking Alone feat Erik Hecht – Dirty South & Those Usual Suspects Fell in love with this low-key melody from Dirty South and Those Usual Suspects as soon as I heard it.  Whatever this Australian DJ/producer dream team are smoking down under, can’t say I would say no to some of that. 

Pressure (Zomboy Remix) – Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji I know what you’re thinking: as good as it is, we’ve all heard this bangin’ summertime anthem.  Here’s what I’m thinking though… Not like this you haven’t.

I Wanna Go (Felix Cartal Bootleg) – Britney Spears // Felix Cartal Had to throw in Felix Cartal’s filthy bootleg of the ever-popular Britney Spears single.  Lay down his beat on her vocals and you get a complete fucking winner.  That’s right, you’re not taking this dirty lil slut home to mama anytime soon.

Hot Mess (23 Dubstep Remix) – Chromeo Get down to this funky shit.

Giving Me Life – SuperVision Chillwave straight off SuperVision’s debut album, Telescopic.  DJ and music producer Richard Blake Hansen, the mastermind behind SuperVision, just signed with the Pretty Lights label, so you already know he’s fucking legit.

All I Ask (OVERWERK Remix) – Silver Medallion This fresh new beat from Arizona native Silver Medallion is the perfect combo of electro, dubstep and hip-hop. 

Midnight Run (Flux Pavilion Remix) – Example Looks like Flux is trying out some new sound with this release.  He tones the track down a notch by not going for his usual hard-hitting heavy dubstep, but still injecting it with enough bass to make your sound system shudder.  Try not to lick the speakers kiddies.  @___@

Flashback (Avicii’s Bootleg) – ID & Calvin Harris, Otto Knows This one’s got Avicii’s signature bubbly, exuberant cloud 9 sound written all over it.  Nothing left for you to do but hit play.  Then lay back, close your eyes, and enjoy. 

Drunk Text feat Lea Luna – Manufactured Superstars Deliciously dirty and just an all-around good time. 

Is You (Le Castle Vania Remix) – D.I.M. Funny story behind this one: Dylan Eiland, otherwise known as Le Castle Vania, finally dropped his dirty take on the track from D.I.M., after originally being asked to do it way back when it was released on Boys Noize Records in 2007.  Guess the guy forgot all about it up till March of this year.  Well, it’s all good cause he throws it down! Pulling off an epic remix of the classic, he makes us fall in love with it all over again.  Not to mention that the twists and turns of this gnarly beat make me feel like I’m trying to find my way through an electronic maze.  I just can’t resist the bass… or that funky cowbell.

Lookin for Sizzurp – Lil Wayne vs. Pretty Lights // DJ T3K Dooope mashup from DJ T3K.  He keeps the song upbeat by combining vocals from several Weezy favorites, while letting Pretty Lights do his thing with an underlying smooth electronic beat.  All I gotta say about this one is, Fuck yeah.

And of course I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Kaskade's new album, Fire & Ice, out October 25th. Can't fucking wait!

Sending dirty beats & good vibes,

FUCK

Unlike your dick, this post can be described as "short and sweet."
Digital Sex - High Rankin Digital sex? Holy fucking shit, that's what we're all about. It's like the porn industry should realize they have a new demographic, the kinky dubstep freaks, and they betta recognize that what we really wanna see is two robots mounting each other until they implode and your new Macbook Pro melts and you never wanna watch porn again.


Menage A Trois (Cover Art) - Wolfgang Gartner If you didn't know ménage à trois meant threesome in French, then we have bigger problems here. Check the Gang's new single. It's electrifying. Yeah, I said it.


Indian Flute 2011 (Moombahton) - ETC!ETC! Okay so remember "Indian Flute" by Timbaland? And the ridiculously ridiculous video? Yeah, it is dangerously 2003. Well picture that sped up a few BPM and morphed in some sick, twisted, magickal way into a moombahton remix by LA- based produced, ETC!ETC! Yeah fuck yeah you just jizzed. +++

And if you like to pussy pop...
Lady - Twerk It (ETC!ETC! MoombahFix) *Download* by ETC!ETC!

Feel So Close (Dillon Francis Remix) - Calvin Harris Calvin Harris must have a permanent hard-on knowing just about every major DJ/producer I give a shit about is getting his hands on his new track. Well of course Dillon's Mad Decent so this particular remix is like no other you've heard before. Get down.


Fibreoptic (12th Planet & Flinch Remix) - Echo Park I can't wait to get sweaty to 12th planet September 3rd @ Electric Zoo in NYC. Shit, "it's a high definition transmission of love."

FUCK

I slept and fucked, and partied, with a girl... and I liked it! The taste of her cigaretteeeeeee....
I'm starting off with this because Dillon Francis is the fucking man. Yeah, I'm obsessed.
Gym Class Heroes - Stereo Hearts Feat. Adam Levine (Dillon Francis Remix) INSTRUMENTAL by DILLONFRANCIS


Stereo Hearts (Drunkmaster Flex Edit) - Gym Class Hereos x Easy Does It Here's the same track sans Dillon + Drunkmaster Flex.


And because I have the most infinite respect for Mad Decent, I'm posting the dope album cover. Basically everything from them deserves endless promotion. Oh and apropos, Diplo was in my dream last night. Yeah. I know.
Feel So Close (Nero Remix) - Calvin Harris  Pretty sure Calvin Harris doesn't sing this track, but these are the same vocals from his legendary track you used to get down to, 'You Used to Hold Me.' In November of 2010 he said he'd never sing again, but would begin hiring vocalists instead. He said he's taken the singing "as far as [he] can, but he's not really "cut out for that role." As per this track, not sure-- but it's still good as ever. 


Unleash The Scary Side (Skrillex vs Dada Life vs Dirtyloud) - Felguk Don't jizz just yet. Listen first. And yes this is thee Felguk, the electronic duo from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil who have gained much popularity since they fucked shit up at Electric Daisy Carnival 2011.


God's Calling - The Noisy Freaks & Blaster The Noisy Freaks: two dudes from France who have been combining delicious fucking melodies and overpowering bass to deliver the perfect concoction of debauchery to their listeners. And remember the Corpus de Textes Porno Chic EP we posted a few days back? Well the dub & glitch remix was by them. Fuck yeah, for the win.


Dead Bodies (Drivepilot Remix) - Void Camp Laced with more-than-seductive female vocals. Orgasmic all around. You may not have heard of Void Camp, but you know Drivepilot makes some the rowdiest dubstep around.



And from our DROPBOX:

PARTY

Yo yo yo. How do you guys like the new player? Zippyshare was getting a little out of control with the advertisements. Waaaack. We're back with some convenient playin for your lovin', sonnnn.
Last Night (Mind Electric Remix) - Ian Carey ft Snoop Dogg & Bobby Anthony
A total house banger with those Snoop Dogg vocals you really can't get enough of. "If you're low, come with me, 'cus I can get you hella hot." Especially after "Sweat" with David Guetta and Afrojack, it seems like Snoop has been and probably will continue to be collaborating with house DJs. And we dig it.

Last Night (Sneaker Fox Disco Remix) - Ian Carey ft Snoop Dogg & Bobby Anthony
Another remix to that. In case you can't get enough (and you can't).

Bounce (Extended Mix)  - Calvin Harris feat. Kelis 
Hot damn, it's the chick whose milkshake brought all the boys to the yard. Well she's back with Mr. Harris, and it sounds fan-fucking-tastic. Happy tunes for the even happier fumes.


God Always (Take It) - Sharam
A bit of a more minimalist and electro take on the genre. Check it.

And this right here is undoubtedly the sickest track on the post. MAD DECENT WINS. +++
Beastie Boys - Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win (Feat. Santigold) (Major Lazer Remix Edition) by thisisfakediy
