Here's my latest monthly mixtape! This one was made EXCLUSIVELY for URB.COM (that's why it's gettin to y'all a little late). It's full of all of my favorite tracks at the moment. I also squeezed in about twice as many tracks within my typical mix length. More for your free buck I say (and hopefully more jmmy jam times as well)!

Get it now!

It's blogger label day here at IHC!

Some more of our good buddies over at DISCOBELLE also recently began their own label! They've decided to stick with the dancier side of things, kicking off their label with a very solid release from MVSEVM!

This track is a powerhouse w enough elements within to make just about any kind of DJ happy. The suite of remixes it comes (EDU K, STYLE OF EYE, DADA LIFE,among others) only kicks this already solid track up another notch. It's one of my favorite releases of the year so far.

Grab the original for FREE below, but remember to grab the rest of BEATPORT as it's well worth it! GRAB IT HERE.

MVSEVM - FRENCH JEANS

Our buddies and blogger peers over at BIG STEREO have finally let loose their first release on their just launched label. The band is BABY MONSTER.

I couldn't think of a better debut for BIG STEREO than these guys. In a lot of ways they are the quintessential BIG STEREO band. Dreamy vocals and melodies, dancy, great pop hooks. BABY MONSTER are the personification of all the great music BIG STEREO have delivered to the masses these last 5 years. Can't wait to hear more!

Grab a free track below and if you like it, go grab the rest HERE.

Hounds of Hate are an up-and-coming London band who make real good music, but I can’t go on any further at the moment because that would get in the way of you watching this video of them covering Snoop Dogg’s Sensual Seduction, with a melodica, which you must do, right now.

I contacted the boys and have included a couple mp3s below so you can hear what they sound like normally. They have a single coming out on Back Yard Recordings later this month, and did a mixtape with Hype Williams last year.

If I were America, I would definitely pay them lots of money to bring their chopped and screwed acid boogie underwater hip hop house live sets to me. They are exciting quite a few people here in London and have a proper video coming out for their single fairly soon, but I couldn’t wait for that, so if you look around youtube you can find some weird video a random fan made. I heard it’s showed up on gay porn web sites. Plausible.

Hounds of Hate – Head Anthem

Hounds of Hate – Tumble Down Real Real Slow (Chopped & Screwed)

WOW.

Most Awesome Sunday is happening NOW at Best Fish Tacos of Ensenada on Hillhurst. Come on down and nurse that hangover from the super fun Boogie Monster last night with some great food, and great friends. Enjoy some music by St. Andrew, MoreDillon, myself, and special guests! Byob to keep the weekend going.

Thanks again to everyone who came out last night to celebrate the birthdays. Truly a memorable event.

Have you heard of Luvstep? It's a mix Dirty South Joe and I made that's premiering pretty soon on Mad Decent Worldwide Radio. If dubstep is a tree with all sorts of subgenres going off in different directions as its branches, this mix is the heart carved on the side of the trunk.

Anyway, we're teaming up with Amberella Gallery & Boutique to make a Luvstep gift package available! It comes with: a handmade card, a personal note of the sender's specification, copious amounts of construction paper hearts, glitter, and we'll be shipping 'em out in time for Valentine's Day! That's when the mix comes out, so if you order you'll both have this as a gift and be able to listen to the whole thing a little early.

We've been sending the mix out to friends and fam for awhile now but for those of you who haven't heard any of it, here's a small taste so you know this will be a good V-Day gift...

Order the gift package from LUVSTEP.COM; keep an eye over there for updates!
