What’s up everyone? It doesn’t seem possible, but after finishing my last final exam at McGill yesterday I’ve finally made the big jump from “broke college kid” to “unemployed 20-something.” In honor of that wonderful life transition, here are a few tracks to get you through the last weekend in April. Good luck to anyone out there still writing exams and enjoy the weekend. Cheers

 Wipe Out- Marble Players

High Lite (Sinjin Hawke Remix)- Boylan

Iced Up- Baauer ft. BHB

Bloodsport- Dreams

Mixtape Fridays is back from the dead this week because it provides me with a convenient excuse not to write my final paper for McGill University. While this may be procrastination at its finest for me, it does mean that you get a fix of great tunes for your weekend, so let’s get to it.

Our mixtape this week comes from the 15th annual Awakenings Festival that went down last week in Amsterdam. I’m insanely jealous that I had to miss out this year, because some of the best deep house and techno artists in the world (Carl Cox, Stimming, Dubfire etc.) were in attendance to throw down in what must have been an amazing environment. This is the live recording of Joris Voorn’s set, but I’ve also posted a video clip from the show below so you can get a taste of one of the best electronic music festivals in Europe.

And now your tunes for the weekend

Sherlock (Original Mix)- Foamo

Sprawl II (Soulwax Remix)- The Arcade Fire

The Night Out (A-Trak Remix)- Martin Solveig

What’s up everyone? Today marks the first day of spring and the weather in Montreal couldn’t be any more perfect. The permafrost is breaking up, the slush has dissipated and it’s finally time to start enjoying the outdoors once again. So break out your grill, your jean shorts and your favorite pair of shades and go post up in the fresh air. While you’re out doing that, here are some tunes to help you enjoy the warm vibes. Cheers

Wut (Claude VonStroke Remix)- Girl Unit

Candil De La Calle (Dub Mix)- Apparat

Spring Break has finally come to Montreal, and seeing as how this is my last vacation as an undergraduate (which is horrifying to even think about) I’m doing it right and heading down to New Orleans for Mardis Gras. That being said I’ll be away from my computer and the blog for about a week, so today I’m going to leave you with some music you can enjoy this weekend. The last few days have been big, with new releases from Deadmau5, Kavinsky and Mad Decent head honchos Diplo and Dillon Francis, so let’s get down to it.

Our mixtape this week is the always stellar monthly mix from Fools Gold Radio, check er out

And now your tunes for the weekend.

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. This is the first installment of the Eighty Six sessions, a more laidback take on some of our favorite tracks from the last few months. Enjoy the mix and be sure to show him some love on Soundcloud.

And now your tunes for the weekend.

Something About You (Original Mix)- Tensnake

Stay High Baby (Original Mix)- Maceo Plex

Flash Addict- Scuba

Ritual Union (Maya Jane Coles Remix)- Little Dragon

Born To Die (Clams Casino Remix)- Lana Del Rey

 Ain’t Hard- Epworth

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 Dimas, LAZRtag, Bart B More & TAI and others, as well as a great new mixtape from an EDM legend.

It seems like everyone and their mothers did a “best of 2011″ mixtape over the last week or so, but I don’t think any could surpass this Year Mix from Laidback Luke. This epic hour-and-a-half mix contains some of the best jams of 2011, and I have to admit, I get all nostalgic when I think of where I was when I first heard some of these tracks. So find a place to relax and chill and let this one take you away. I can’t wait to see what Luke has in store for us in 2012…

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 music and a hilarious new video from French Fries, so let’s get down to business.

Laquisha (J-Wow Remix)- French Fries

Cool S#@!- Spank Rock

More Than Me- Eliphino

Cbat- Hudson Mohawke

Owe Me (Nicolas Jaar Remix)- No Regular Play

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 you all today courtesy of Pleasurekraft, NT89, Nic Fanciulli, Clouds and a few others.

The mixtape this week is a perfect present for anyone who enjoys some good ol’ fashioned techno music. The hard-hitting Scottish duo Clouds just released this banging December mix in promotion of their new EP “Matter,” which was released this month with Turbo Recordings.

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.

Our mixtape this week is another installment of the Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix Luvstep mixtape series. Something about the combination of melancholy vocals and big dubstep beats makes these songs extremely catchy and perfect for those winter days where you barely see any natural sunlight. Enjoy

Happy Friday everyone. For those of you were at the Bassnectar show last Friday I promise pictures are coming very soon! It was a sick show and the pictures turned out great, so stay tuned. As for the music today, I have to say that I think this was the best week for new releases in quite some time. For you all today, I have new tracks from Pleasurekraft, Congorock, NT89 and Avicii….plus a new remix from the Bloody Beetroots, so let’s get to it.

But first, our mixtape this week is from Mumbai Science, a Belgian duo growing in popularity who were good enough to put this excellent mixtape up for free download. Check it out
