OWSLA Free Treats Vol. II

OWSLA, Skrillex's record label, just dropped a compilation of free songs featuring technicians like Kill The Noise, KOAN sound, The Juggernaut, Porter Robinson, as well as a new remix of RUffneck (Full Flex) by Skrilly. So download it.

DOWNLOAD them all!

gotta do it individually sorry.

In case you ever wondered why Skrillex's label is called OWSLA, OWSLA is in fact the name of the society in Watership Down, a book containing a lot of social commentary and social thoughts, but it's a society run by rabbits. One of the best books I've ever read.

Dave Nada

To be honest I think I was too harsh on Dave Nada in my Moombahton post. Guy invented the style and he has sick sick songs. Below are a couple as well as a link to the original Moombahton EP that he made. Which was soon after picked up by Diplo and produced into a full Moombahton aldum, Blow Your Head Vol. 2: Dave Nada Presents Moombahton

So, Moombahton...

Moombahton is a new up'n'coming form of music. I will tentatively call it dance music. It's basically dance music slowed down, and by dance music I include Dubstep, Trance, Techno, Glitch, and Electronic, and by slowed down I specifically mean 108 bpm. The creator of this new style of music, Dave Nada, came upon what he later called Moombahton at a party he was invited to Dj for. The music he, at that point, played was fast paced techno, but upon arrival the guests were dancing to the slower beats of Reggaeton. So in an effort to keep with the theme he took Afrojack's "Moombah" and slowed it from about 130 bpm to 108 bpm, "And God said let there be Moombahton." I congratulate Dave Nada for creating a wonderful new form of music but the torch must be passed on. Dillon Francis can be described in one word, Sick. The more I've listened to Moombahton the more I've realized that there are several very different styles of it. More ambient Moombahton where there isn't really a base drop, which dance music generally revolves around, and then there is Moombahton with really massive base drops. Dillon Francis has the really massive base drops. Coming up alongside DF we have Munchi. Munchi is much softer, less bass, more ambient. Both are incredible so sit back, relax, and Moom.

Carnival

Today, while driving to the Cape, I listened to a variety of music including the new release of a Deadmau5 song. pretty ill.
Professional Griefers

(Not that good of quality since its live, DOWNLOAD REAL TRACK HERE Also doesn't have the Daft Punk at the end)
Since I'm driving to Provincetown and gonna be there for Carnival what better to do then rock to some amazing dance music. Here are a compilation of my recent favorites including some Dubstep, Glitch Hop, and Moombathon (If you are wondering what the hell Moombathon is I'll be doing a huge write up on it soon.).

Good Thymes (Ray Charles) Opiuo

Cloud Low (feed me x Ludacris) Smash and Destroy

Take it back remix (Toddla T) Dillon Francis

Sunlight Modestep

On a side note, Skrillex and Deadmau5 went on a concert tour together and half way through one of Skrillex's sets, Deadmau5 came on stage and cut him off... Not gonna give my opinion on that but I would pay more to go see Skrillex than Deadmau5, just saying. But regardless, this song is sick! Download it and Enjoy!
