Taiki & Nulight- Grotesque (dubstep)

Shinny, shimmering synth-based house music that makes you want to do nothing more but reach for the sky and dance the night away will always have a place in our hearts. It’s been awhile since anything in that field has had a lasting impression on us, but thanks to this song here we can officially say that drought is over. “You Said You Loved Me” is the kind of track that combines everything that is good about dance music. Like, if we had to give someone who didn’t know the most broad example of what “dance music” is, this would be it. From the very first drop, it’s instant elation, and that jovial feeling lasts all the way through to the very last drum kick.

Let’s face it, our Monthly Mixes last year–although cool–lacked one very important thing: actually “mixed” songs. There’s a reason we’re bloggers people. Stringing together words comes a lot easier to us than stringing together songs. So rather than buying a copy of Traktor and embarrassing ourselves, we did the next best thing: recruited an in-house DJ. For now on, Texas based DJ/producer Skrause–who you may remember from his stellar Purple Slab Mixtape we posted last month–will be handling our Monthly Mixes, taking the curated playlists we give him and turning them into seamless streams of swagged-out frequencies. We are extremely happy to welcome Skrause into the LFTF family, and once you click play below, we think you will be too. We have big things planned for 2102. Ride with us.

One of our favorite dubsteppers, Dub Police representative Subscape, recently lended his earth rattling bass delicacies over to the infamous Mishka Keep Watch Series, stringing together one of the best dubstep mixes we’ve heard in a minute. If you’re one of those “I use to like dubstep before Skrillex came around” type people, then this mix is for you, as it brings the genre back to its glory days–when you didn’t have to make a song full of chainsaw noises to be considered going hard.

And now, thanks to the good folks over at OkayPlayer, we can have a D’Angelo concert in the comfort of our own bedrooms. Below, check out a 15-track compilation of high-quality live recordings from a recent D’Angelo concert in Sweden, featuring the dude going through his classics (“One Mo’ Gin”, “Chicken Grease”) as well as a few other tidbits (A pair of J Dilla covers).

“Live fast die young, bad girls do it well”. Everyone’s favorite bad girl M.I.A. is finally back, ready to attempt to take over the music world once again. Her brand new single has just released, which comes as a full version of a song that originally appeared on her previous Vicki Leekz mixtape. And that’s not all. A video for the track, which is headed by “Born Free” director Romain Gavras, will come this Friday, and a full-length album set due this summer. Check out “Bad Girls” below.
