Happy Friday everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I thought I would take things in a bit of a different direction this week. We’re gonna get a little more vibe-y than usual with some great deep house tracks from Tensnake, Maya Jane Coles, Scuba and a few others. So sit back, relax and let the grooves take you away. Our mixtape this week comes from my partner in crime for DJing and producing: K431….

As expected, the 2012 installment of Igloofest has been an amazing success thus far. A-Trak, Buraka Som Systema, French Fries, Max Cooper, Sebastian Leger and many more have already managed to melt faces in the sub-zero temperatures, and the festival isn’t even close to finished yet. So far we’ve already seen the first ever sell-out in Igloofest history, with over 10,000 rabid fans descending on the Quays on Saturday night, so be sure to get your tickets for this weekend…

If you’ve lived in this city for a decent amount of time, I think you will agree that it hasn’t felt much like a Montreal winter for the last few weeks. The roads were clear of brown slush, the sidewalks weren’t completely covered in ice, and you could even walk outside freely without the snot in your nose immediately freezing. Given all of that, it seems perfectly fitting that the snow has finally returned to Montreal just in time for…

  It’s no secret that as time passes by, your tastes in music, clothes, friends etc. will inevitably change. While I still love my EDM music as much as ever before, I’ve recently found myself more and more seeking out new down-tempo, chilled out tracks from younger, up-and-coming producers, and New York’s Cream Dream is one of the producers who’s caught my ear because of his infectious hip hop instrumental beats. His music is in a somewhat similar vein as…

Happy Friday everyone. I have to say I’m pretty excited for my first weekend back in Montreal since I left for my final winter break ever (sadface..) For those of you who are heading back to school in the next few days or are stuck traveling when you would rather be out partying, here are some tracks to get you through until you reach your final destination. Today for my first Mixtape Friday of 2012 I have tunes from Angger…

What’s up everyone? Well I’m back from my self-imposed hiatus, I needed some time to recuperate and be generally lazy while I had the chance, but I hope you all had a happy and healthy holiday season. Over the break my friends over at the New Philadelphia threw an absolute banger of a new years party, head over to their facebook page to check out some of the great pics. For today I’m back with a new crop of great…

Happy Friday everyone. The holiday season has arrived, which means its once again time to stand in long lines at the mall while listening to horrible Christmas songs that no one actually likes. In other words, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. That being said, I do hope you all have a good holiday weekend coming up where you have a chance to rest and relax with family and good friends. I have a few holiday goodies for…

Well finals are finally over with, which means I’ve officially made it to my last semester as an undergraduate. I prefer not to think about the consequences of that just yet, but either way it also means that I’m on my way back to Philly tomorrow for a few weeks of R and R with the New Philadelphia crew. I’m already starting to get excited for their new years party with Trouble & Bass residents Samo Sound Boy and The…

Happy Friday everyone. Unfortunately it’s not feeling much like the weekend around here due to the fact that I’m buried in a pile of work and need to somehow crawl out by Monday. So for all of you who are stressing about your finals, I hope these tunes can talk you off the edge and provide a good soundtrack for your late nights at the library, cafe, or wherever you choose to waste (i mean wisely spend) your time studying….

So I was browsing through Mad Decent’s most recent Soundcloud Roundup, a feature they run every week to promote up and coming unsigned artists, when guess who’s name should appear but Montreal’s own Jaekwon Waxmoney (aka Jacob Waxman). I’ve featured his tracks before on the blog, and this most recent track “Off Balance” is a slice of bass-heavy goodness layered in between very chill melodic vibes. Big ups to the man for getting some recognition from one of the biggest…
