Vancouver's own Paul Devro whipped up this delicious mix as part of Mad Decent's weekly free mixtape series. Charting Maluca's musical influences - past, present & future - "China Mix" has loads of big tunes you've probably never heard before. Best of all it's free!!!
From what i been reading it's all dubstep, dancehall, & cuts from the Major Lazer release. Should be sick!
Check this interview with Diplo from seen-site.com - pretty cool piece with seen & diplo discussing the ways that jamaican, american, and european dancehall are influencing one another. Get lerned!
Mad Decent this Thursday @ Richards!!! Gonna be killer - DO NOT MISS THIS!!!
Diplo's an absolute floor killer, loads of production & a million remix credits under his belt - he's done production for Santogold, & M.I.A., to name some of his bigger collabs. I mean, he's the guy that blew M.I.A. up in the States... Check the mix out below, electro, danchall, hip hop, bmore, you name it, he'll mash it up in there - don't miss it!!!
Mad Decent might just be the most important label you've heard of, this decade or next. Diplo started it in 2006 & if you wanna know what music's gonna look like after another decade or so of global mashups, this is where you need to be looking. Bonde do Role, DJ Blaqstarr, Boy 8-Bit, South Rakkas Crew (mad again!!!), Hollertronix, Crookers (do I need to go on???). If Ninja Tune was the last of the old British Guard on their way out the door, then Mad Decent's what it sounded like when the locals finally got their hands on the controls.
Wicked... wicked, wicked, wicked, week coming up, kids! bu-sy!!! Crystal Castles (can-con alert!) were supposed toset if off next Monday at the Commodore, but seems the shows been cancelled (booo...). S'ok tho, Soulwax are doing a live set on Wednesday at the Plaza as part of their "Part of the Weekend Never Dies" documentary tour. Check the teaser video, there's a couple of brilliant one-liners in there, you'll see what i mean...
what'd I say, yeah??? These guys tour all the time(just not up here) & their sets are supposed to be pro. They've got an album of remixes that came out a while ago that you should absolutely be listening to, right now. Seriously. Right now.
And then,and THEN... of course... the one we've all been waiting for... MAD DECENT!!! yeeeaaaahhhh!!! Oct30 at Richards it's Diplo, Boy 8-bit & more - gonna be killer, no lie. More posts on Diplo & the Mad Decent crew to come for sure, got a mix by Boy 8bit & a killer Diplo mix that I'll be posting in a bit so check back soon!!!
