RAC's December Mix

The fine young gents of RAC have released a new mix for the month of December. The Portland transplants have combined some of their favorite tracks and a multitude of their own stellar remixes of electro artists such as Deadmau5, Empire of the Sun, Boyz Noize and Soulwax. Oh and yesss they threw in my personal favorite, their remix of Penguin Prison's Worse It Gets. Its a pretty great state of the union address for RAC, remixes, and electronic music in general. No download option as of right now, but you can stream it below from their soundcloud.

Well done, fellas! Check the complete tracklisting in the full post if you want, but there are a few fun surprises, so maybe keep it hidden for now.

Kings Don't Die

What a cool guy.

A smattering of Michael Jackson news for you this afternoon:

Presale for Cirque Du Soleil's new "Immortal" Michael Jackson tribute show has begun. The awesomeness they did with the Beatles' LOVE show will almost certainly be rivaled.

A new album of Michael Jackson songs, entitled Michael, will be released on December 14th. Are we graverobbing at this point? Would Michael Jackson's ALIVE movie have been a success at all if he was still alive? Here's the cover:

 

This Renaissance-style retrospective album cover is kind of wacky. But then again its Jacko. Hee-hee!

And last but not least, DJ Mars One has made a bangin' Michael Jackson (is that redundant?) mix called Who's Bad. I believe it to be chronologically correct, and its got all your favorites. I got it from the LifeIsAParty mailing list, and after you join up Grab it here!

So, Volcano Citizens, I propose a question to you: Does our culture excuse 'genius'? Michael Jackson may or may not have invited children to his home for merry-go-rounds, treeclimbing and fellatio. I personally doubt it because children are easily malleable and false memories can be incepted, but certainly the accusations plagued him for the rest of his days. Yet, people still bought his albums and went to see him live. I say the same of Roman Polanski, who was charged with the rape of a 13 year old girl but still enjoys the celebrity of such landmark award-winning films of Chinatown and The Pianist. And brilliant orator Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990, but his talk show is first in the nation! Do we just glass over the horrible aspects of our most cherished minds? Or is it something that comes with or perhaps from the genius? Did Einstein eat his neighbors' cats? Did Leonardo masturbate to the Teletubbies, or would he if he were alive today? We live in a strange world, everybody. At least we have the beautiful music of Michael Jackson to keep us company.

Shiny Disco Club - "Millenium Disco" (SDCR 001) by Shiny Disco Club

I noticed that there is only one Go Go Bizkitt! song in this mix and it is not his best, so I'm going to link you to more of his (again, free) french house remixes.

Donna Summer-Spring Affair (Go Go Bizkitt! Remix) by Go Go Bizkitt!

I was just waiting for somebody to turn "I Look to You" by Miami Horror song into a dancefloor slammer for my next set, and finally Biz' has followed through. Bangin!

Aeroplane Late July Mix

Aeroplane absolutely kills it. Period. Unsurprisingly their late July mix is no exception.

It's still summer right?

The Twelves are almost here

We all know that the Brazil'z finest, The fucking Twelves will be tearing up the Whiskey Bar this weekend in Portland so to put all you fine Portlanders in the mood for it, here's a live set Luciano (1/2 of the Twelves) did over Valentines day earlier this year. They've done plenty of live mixes before but this one for me takes the cake. It's TWO HOURS LONG. A few good tracks to listen for are a Justin Timberlake remix, Hot Chip remix and of course a Radiohead remix. A few of us were lucky enough to see them last summer in Vancouver BC and it was the most fun I've ever had dancing at a show. Get fucking jacked people. This weekend is going to be EPIC!

Volcano City Thirsty Thursday Sasquatch Mix

We know you've been waiting 364 days for this time of year, when hipsters, hippies, punks (maybe not so much), old people, young people and music lovers of all ilk flock to the beautiful Gorge Amphitheater for the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival. The festival boasts great music, manageable and friendly crowds, campground parties and above all, the most beautiful venue you'll ever see music in (at least until the first concert is held on the moon). The Gorge Amphitheater is a natural amphitheater that overlooks the Columbia River Gorge, and the contours and texture of the landscape seemed to have been carved straight from the hands of Aphrodite. If you've been before, you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't been before, get there now, and if this is gonna be your first year, start getting excited. To commemorate the fact that Sasquatch! is finally here, our weekly Thirsty Thursday Mix is made up of bands that are playing at Sasquatch!, and we took the liberty of putting the artists you should see in bold text.
