Punk will ALWAYS be better than dubstep
Spotify introduced its embeddable play button today, but this one isn’t working for me — and it won’t work for many international readers either. Working for you?
Been listening to this on loop a lot
New embeddable #Spotify button doesn’t work - it launches the full client (What’s the point of embed then?) and they need to work on chrome formatting inline.
Also the original posted Pitbull track is TERRIBLE. I’ve replaced it with THEESatisfaction’s Enchantruss - check it
Artist: A Tribe Called Quest

In the movie, whenever DiCaprio and his gang are about to wake up, they hear the song Non, je ne regrette nien by Edith Piaf. But you knew that part — they never hide the fact that they’re using that particular song as part of the plot. What you might not have realized is that you’re hearing it even when you think you aren’t.
Remember that ultra-dramatic instrumental theme you hear over and over for the last 45 minutes of the movie? It sounds like a typical summer movie soundtrack meant to let you know that shit’s getting real … but it’s actually that same Edith Piaf song, slowed down almost beyond recognition.
The really cool part is that it makes perfect sense. The Edith Piaf song is a way for the characters to know they’re about to wake up — but since time passes more slowly inside dreams, what seems like two minutes and 23 seconds in reality can last a lot longer for them. While the song is playing at normal speed in the waking world, the characters should hear it all slowed down.
Hans Zimmer, the film’s composer, said that in order to achieve this, they actually went to France and extracted two notes from the original master of the song. Apparently those two notes went a long way, because he also said that “all the music in the score is subdivisions and multiplications of the tempo of the Edith Piaf track.” So basically, old song + math = Oscar nomination.
Oliver Huntemann’s Rikarda (128 kbs) - this gets really interesting at the 4:30 mark. Got distracted tonight and dusted off the CDJs again…
Jay-z at MSG last night
I’m not 15 yrs old so I guess I don’t get the rise in Skrillex’s popularity - it’s right time, right place, right look I guess because it certainly isn’t DJ skills.
I’ve got my share of dubstep (more like the original form of dubstep, from the late 90’s which were darker versions of experimental 2-step & UK garage tracks) including a few Skrillex tracks but I’ve never heard him live so I had to listen to a few live mixes and live shot videos of Skrillex before I commented on this … anyone can spend 30 days on midi touch pad controller and tweak some samples cut over some pre produced remixes and show up with the same performance.
I’ll give him the nods on having some production cred, he’s getting better with each release but I don’t hear anything nearly as mind blowing from his live performances to warrant any of the jizz these kids are sputtering about this guy.
If you’re hear for the hate, make sure you check out “Chase and Status”, Benga, Pendulum and Rusko - them some technical production masters.
