I downloaded Crave You off the Adventure Club Dubstep soundcloud about a week or two ago, thought it was a great track. Hadn’t gotten around to checking out any of their other stuff until this morning…. Great dub, for someone (me) that isn’t a HUGE dubstep fan… I like the stuff with at least some [...]

I again, haven’t posted on here in forever. Mainly because posting MP3s to the server takes forever from my home connection. However, yesterday they more than doubled my speed. I figured it was time to give it another go! I’m heading to the Calvin Harris / Laidback Luke / Felguk / Lazy Rich show tonight [...]

Yes, it has been a very long time since i’ve posted on here. I’m sorry, hopefully you all still find a place for me in your itunes libraries The main reason being that when I’m at home, uploading takes forever (1mbps), and when I’m at work (100mbps) I don’t have time to post. Anyways, here [...]

Never been to either club, so should be fun! Went to the brunny last night, a “Roxy” equivelant (so I’ve been told) and … from what I remember, [...]

Last night was Calvin Harris and Steve Aoki at Celebrities. Therefore, I’m somewhat in recovery mode this evening and felt a post was in order. I’ve found a few tracks in the past week that I’m really into, hope you like them!

This weekend I’ve been checking out Montréal, visiting friends, etc. It’s a pretty cool city, SO different from Vancouver! The taxi drivers are all Haitian, and hate anyone that doesn’t speak english. Everyone else has been SUPER pleasant and we had a blast last night at The Belmont for The XX Afterparty!

The_District_Sleeps_Alone_Tonight-Postal_ServiceX_The_480

The District Sleeps Alone by The Postal Service is a long time favourite of mine. It takes me back a few years, is a great calm track and always had the potential for great remix. I came across this Dubstep mix of it today, and while not a huge Dub fan, was impressed with its [...]

This past weekend was pretty fun filled, went to see Boys Noize at The Commodore on Friday, sandwiched in between visits to VENUE and followed with a trip up the stairs  to Gorgamish… Hours of dancing for all. A laid back Sunday ended up turning into a search for new music, a fruitful search it [...]

I’ve got myself setup in a new office in Gastown, loving the atmosphere around here and the space is sweet. You can expect more frequent updates as I’ve got a crazy internet connection that takes about 2 seconds to upload a song. Also switched hosting for the uploads over to the Amazon S3 so everything [...]

Two of my great friends have their birthdays this weekend… After a month of hiding from downtown after the 2010 Olympics, I figured it was time to catch up on some partying and break out some new tracks from the interwebs… This is a pretty diverse mix of hip-hop/mashup/electro-dance so check it out and let [...]

I am STOKED for the upcoming Stereotype Friday show for Jack Beats. After the olympics it is time to chill out, but I guess March 12 is going to be MY return to partying in Van. I heard the “I’m not your toy” mix a while ago, just before this night was announced!

Categories: Remix | Add a Comment

After two LONG weeks of going out almost every night to INK HOUSE and other shows in the city, the Olympics are gone and it’s time to rest up! The deadmau5 show was last night, and I did some surfing this morning to come across a couple tracks I hadn’t heard before, random but not [...]

Last night deadmau5 was announced as the final show for Alvaro/Blueprint’s INK HOUSE series of events at Gossip Nightclub in Vancouver, BC for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games!

Armin van Buuren released the A State of Trance 2009 on December 31. I’ve listened to it a few times and have chosen a few tracks that I think are pretty great. This isn’t the usual dance electro that makes it up here, but is worthy of a listen while doing homework, work, or just [...]

Just when I had started listening to a few Shiny Toy Gun tracks again, hoping that they would release some new material, this came along. While it doesn’t quite satisfy my longing for a new track, the remixes of existing gems are working for me in the mean time. Here are a few picks from [...]

This song is really popular, but I can’t quite handle the original, so Fred Falke has whipped off a mix that is much better than the original. Club hit for sure!

I found a bunch of remixes by Sam La More that are pretty sick. They’ve got a bit of the Hook ‘N Sling vibe goin on that keep you into the track all the way through… Here’s a remix of Lover Electric’s Honey and the original track, I Wish It Could Last.
