Inspiration Exploitation Mixtape by Body Rock

Drop droppin it!  MDD’s resident DJ Body Rock is bringing more of that hott mixtape action to you:  It has been months since the last mixtape, which by our calculation is far too long.  It’s time to freshen thy earloins with the sweet sounds of the Body Rock selects.

From Body Rock hisself:

A lot of amazing music in this mix.  Setting the tone right with DCUP’s SMASHING remix of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, we keep the funk alive as we move into Best Party Ever by one of my favorite producers Shazam.

The mix moves into a deeper, but still plenty funky direction as we get into the UK sounds of Joy Orbison and MJ Cole. That MJ Cole remix, which blows me away every time I hear it, actually came to my attention when myself and the rest of My Dear Disco put our brains on a remix of that same tune for Todd Edwards and Scion A/V Records.  MJ Cole took such a different approach in him mix, I just really love it.  I am quickly becoming a sucker for those pseduo-half-time dance feels Cole and Orbison demonstrate so nicely in this mix.

Another of my favorite producers, Phonat, is nicely featured in this mix with his incredible journey of a track Set Me Free, and his remix of the Young Punx Rockall.  The mix moves on and into some tight indie-house remix joyousness featuring an amazing A-trak remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Boy 8-but crushing Dj Touches track “Paddle” and the perfect ending is found in Tommie Sunshine’s amazing acid edit of “Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap.  Check it.

These tracks come to you dancefloor tested, meaning these are the jams I play out when we rock out.  Play it loud and play it often!

LOVE.

Yay-yuh.  It happened.  I imagine that by now you have completely worn out your little free mp3 downloads of my latest mix, The Summer ReMixTape.  You know, these mp3s have a life span, and I hope that you have been caring after them diligently.

So I decided it was time to update the world on the tracks I have been diggin on and playing out.  Actually, this little mix was a lot of fun to put together and make and it has been on play consistently since I finished it. These have been some massively inspirational tunes for me lately in the production work that I have been working on.

-

Also, we got some Body Rock gigs coming up in Ann Arbor: October 23rd at Cavern Club wsg/Seek Selecta (Aaron Gold).  Hopefully another one at Ashley’s Underground.  That’s in the works, so more to come on that.

NEWS
Have you heard of Bodyrock?  He’s this crazy DJ.  At his last show, peeps got naked.  I started listening to his latest mix and my socks started to sneak off my feet.  Bodyrock’s got some serious chops.  Seriously, he’s got facial hair, and mad DJ skills to boot.  Check him out.

BT tweeted about this guy/these guys.  It’s kind of creepy that one guy is singing all the parts and swaying all over the stage, but that’s also what makes this so impressive.  Ok, around 3:00, this dude sounds just like MJ.  Crazy.

MUSIC
High Places – “From Stardust to Sentience”

(recommended by Sabina Sciubba of the Brazilian Girls in a strange interview with the Bostonist)

Sabina Sciubba – “So Close and Yet So Far”

Jeff Beck ft. Imogen Heap – “Rollin’ and Tumblin’”
(I couldn’t find a link for you guys, but check it out on iTunes)

Sara Bareilles – “Gravity”
(I first heard this song while watching Fox’s best of So You Think You Can Dance.  Mia Michaels’s choreography is heartbreakingly beautiful.  I can’t tell if this song would have moved me as much without having seen Mia Michaels’s dance about addiction. Thoughts?  )

omg, I got chills just watching it start up again. I wish there was some way to turn off the psycho screaming crowd.  Oh Fox).

Mute Math – “The Nerve”

TOYS
Here is a relaxing online musical toy my friend sent me.  It’s called the Tone Matrix.  OOOOoooh.
