I am FINALLY caught up with my emails, MySpace messages and voicemails (though I can’t account for my Facebook, I still leave that one kind of by the wayside). Mexico, Canada and California were all rockin over the past couple of weeks and I’m in the process of finalizing Las Vegas and Atlanta for the end of this month.

I have some choice photos from the trips, including the one above. That was from Tabasco, Mexico. Towards the end of my set, I saw a guy that was completely passed out on a couch so I started taking ice from my drink and chucking it at his head. Nothing. So I climbed down off stage, gave my camera to the promoter and told him to start snapping away as I stood over him. As I was laughing, I was told the passed out guy was part of Los Zetas - an armed criminal gang that operates as a hired army for the Gulf Cartel. If that was true or not I don’t know, but I booked it pretty soon afterwards.

And on to the tunes. People have been sending me lots of great stuff over the past couple of weeks, and I’m sure some other blogs have beaten me to the punch on a couple of these, but I’m posting them anyway because I love them. Things are relatively smooth here over the next two weeks so I should be able to update on a regular basis.

Every time Miscellaneous Chocolate sends me a track I feel like the quality of the tunes keeps getting better. “Fuckin’ Bitches” sounds like if DJ Funk decided to make electro. A nice basic ghetto vox sits in unpretentious synth work that, while uncomplicated, doesn’t sound simplistic.

Nadastrom pulls out another banger! I can’t stop listening to this remix - between the rolling drum patterns and the disgusting dark synths, this remix makes me want to get up and dance every time I press play.

When Dmerit first sent me some of their remixes, I was thrilled and asked them to keep me updated with all their new material. These two intrigue me. They are both high school teachers at a JROTC public charter school in Northeast DC. One teaches math while the other teaches remedial reading. Though it seems like they are very left brain/right brain, apparently the two intersect when it comes to musical tastes. Their newest is a remix of a song that is both their guilty pleasure and mine (gulp).

I just posted the BSBTRGDClub remix of Teen Wolf a couple posts ago and…good lord…they have another one ready to go! This one is called “Britney” and despite the title, is not yet another mediocre remix of “Break The Ice” or whatever tune it is she has at the moment. Take a listen, you might be surprised.

California’s Meterhead just sent over these two banging remixes featuring hip-hop’s finest. It’s nice to hear hip hop remixes that don’t sample the same old classics or go for the jugular of the latest top 100 on Billboard. Geez, it’s starting to look like Remix Sunday over here today.
