Still sick, recovering at home, so here's a ton of new music

I am still getting over this nasty cold that has completely dominated me the last few days. I finally am feeling better today, but no more snowboarding for a few more days until I am 100%, I need to be sickness-free for my Jackson Hole trip that is coming up here in a little over a week. In the meantime, I have put together a ton of tracks that I have been hooked on the last week or so. I've got a little bit of everything here today: hip-hop/drumstep remixes, some electro-house, a mash-up and some filthy dubstep.

Since my last post was about Snowglobe, let's start this off with some tracks featuring artists from this past year's festival. Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover, aka Troy from Community) put on one of the sickest sets on the main stage this year.

Childish Gambino, main stage Snowglobe 12-31-11. We were pretty close up front!

 I am a huge Community fan and have really enjoyed Glover's more recent stand up specials on Comedy Central, so I was expecting big things from Glover performing as his rap alter-ego, and did he ever deliver. At one point, he got the whole crowd to sing Adele's Rolling in the Deep acappella, and then transitioned it perfectly back into his set, carrying the momentum from the crowd's involvement. The man certainly knows how to work the crowd and get them super stoked and involved in the set, and his live band was incredible. If you haven't checked out Childish Gambino's album 'Camp' from last year, do yourself a favor and grab it up, or check the man himself out when he embarks on another tour later this year.

Comedy or rapping, dude is killing it.

Anyways, this track is a mashup done by Styles & Complete combining Childish Gambino's 'Heartbreak' with Zedd's 'Slam The Door,' and the result is awesome, Zedd's new electro-house banger with Gambino's lyrics mixed in. Check it out.



Another artist I really enjoyed at Snowglobe was drumstep madman Figure. I only caught a few minutes of his set at the actual festival, but I did see him at Blu at the after-party on Friday with Mimosa.

Figure @ Blu afterparty 12-30-11. Always sick to see big names in small venues.

 That was probably one of the highlights of the weekend for me, Figure and Mimosa absolutely crushing it at Blu in the wee hours of the morning. His live set was amazing, and I highly recommend checking him out if you have the chance in the future.

Here's a new remix he just released of XV & Wiz Khalifa's 'Gobstopper.'



I just can't get enough of this next track, the Camo & Krooked remix of 'Hot Right Now,' by DJ Fresh ft. Rita Ora. You've probably heard this track or other remixes of it floating around recently, but Camo & Krooked absolutely murder this remix. If this doesn't get you jumping around, then you might want to check your pulse, because you may be dead. Camo & Krooked are on fire right now, having just released their new album, 'Cross the Line,' and touring the U.S. later this year. I am really hoping to get down to San Fran to see these Austrian drum&bass beasts live in March.

C'mon, dude is rocking a Burton shirt, this music is made to shred to.

This song has been out for a few weeks, but it is still making its rounds on my playlists lately, HULK's 'Run Train.' This is a fun new dubstep mix heavily sampling Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train,' and CLAW and Ritchie August (HULK) kill it on this track creating a really fun remix of a classic.

Here's a sick remix by an up-and-coming producer out of California named RUNVS. This is definitely a more mellow track compared to the rest of the tracks in this post, but it still packs a serious punch. RUNVS gives this track a much needed melodic dubstep makeover, and coupled with Wynter Gordon's soothing vocals makes this so much better than Laidback Luke's remix of the same tune.



This is a drumstep remix by Eliminate of a sick hip-hop song that samples Perry Band 'If I Die Young.' An interesting combination to say the least, but the result is really dope, check this out.



And lastly, an electro house mix from R3hab that he made for his show at the infamous Ruby Skye in San Fransisco recently. R3hab has been dropping so many incredible official and unofficial remixes lately that it is a bit overwhelming at times. This one is certainly one of his better ones as of late, and it is makes it that much cooler that it was made to be dropped at Ruby Skye. I am in no way a Lil' Wayne fan, but he has a minimal verse in this track, and R3hab makes this track into a straight electro house banger. This should get the party dancing for sure, turn up the bass and enjoy!



That's it for today, enjoy some (or all) of the tracks and happy Super Bowl Sunday everybody!
