C2C – Happy ft. Derek Martin (+ Video)

A couple of weeks ago we posted the article below covering the likes of a French group by then name of C2C, today we are lucky enough to be giving away two tickets to tomorrow nights show in Denver, Colorado at the Summit Music Hall! Since this is only a 24 hour giveaway head over to the MMIBTY Twitter Page, follow us and retweet our post about the show for a chance to win. After a reportedly huge showing at Coachella this rare night in America with C2C is not a night to miss out on! All info regarding tomorrows show can be found here and if you haven’t already be sure to check out the amazing sounds these guys have been producing below.

C2C is a French “band” consisting of four internationally renowned turntablists with a fondness for a very unique “electro urban sound,” as it is described on their SoundCloud. I’m pretty new to them but that doesn’t mean they haven’t accrued quite the decent following. Having made a name for themselves by winning the DMC turntabilism contest as a quartet four years in a row, they have since started in on the production side of things and put out their debut album Tetra last fall. I must say I have absolutely fallen in love with these guys listening through to the LP on Spotify and after seeing the new video to one of the more upbeat singles from it, “Happy”. Hearing the way they were able to combine serious soul flavor, turntablism and an absolutely infectious beat really reflects on their seemingly endless creative talent. This song does as promised and will put a smile on your face. I also included another favorite of mine off the album. Check out the video for a very appropriate take on “Happy” after the jump. Also, any producers out there who would be interested in taking on remix duties for this great track, C2C is hosting a remix content that you can enter over here.

Just Blaze & Baauer Have a Valentine’s Day Date with Boston

If you’re anything like me, you spent quite a bit of time with hip-hop before electronic music came into your life and you can’t mention formative hip-hop without speaking about Jay-Z. Perhaps most famous for his production on Jay-Z’s records, Just Blaze has been a undeniable force in hip-hop production for close to 15 years and has, whether you’re aware or not, probably produced some of your favorite songs. While he may not have been on the radar as much the past few years, he has come back onto the scene by announcing his collaborative tour with Brooklyn’s trap sensation Baauer. Seeing these two on the same bill can only mean great things and there’s little I could say that hasn’t already been said about the two. One thing’s for sure: you can’t miss this show. So ditch the girlfriend (or bring her along, if she’s into this kinda thing) this Valentines Day (Thursday, 2/14) to the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge for what’s sure to be night full of booties down and elbows up. Grab your advance tickets here and read up on more details on the show here. Be sure to check out the latest collaboration from Baauer & Just Blaze below and keep your eyes peeled for Just Blaze’s upcoming EP on Fool’s Gold Records.

WiLDKATS Rock the Playa in 2012 + BONUS TRACK

I posted about WiLDKATS this past summer, the UK-based production trio with a penchant for bassy deep house sounds. They continue to pump out awesome tunes and they recently made their performance on Robot Heart at Burning Man 2012 available on Soundcloud. This set is filled with funky deep house with touches of hip hop and funk. I particularly love the build up to Roberto Palmero – Sweet So [Pura] at around 20 minutes in.  This track typifies the sounds that these gents like to spin and produce. Overall, their track selection is fabulous; from Alex Arnout- Science Friction [Turquoise Blue] to Kolombo- My Own Business [Diynamic], and even a bad ass re-work of Too $hort-Freaky Tales by WiLDKATS member Corey Baker + Jon Lee. Enjoy this, and check out some WiLDKATS tracks (I’ve included a bonus favorite of mine below…) on Beatport because these guys will be a force in 2013.

PS: Grab a listen to some of the other sets from Robot Heart this year, really great stuff. Shout out to Blond:ish, Thugfucker, and Audiofly!

A Very Wick-it Christmas

Wick-it the Instigator wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas so he threw together this little holiday inspired theme mix of tracks that are sure to get your ugly sweater party jumping. Wick-it samples classic tracks like Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, and with a little help from a few friends he really brings this holiday classic to a whole new level. DMX, Run DMC, ODB, Jay-Z and James Brown also make guest performances along with the kid who shot his eye out in The Christmas Story. I am not suggesting you toss this on the family sound system in front of the fireplace tonight by any means, Wick-it will still give your grandmother a heart-attack with his intricate beats and hip-hop samples. So although this one might not fly at my mothers house on Christmas eve, this is a new era of christmas music for the EDM generation and I couldn’t be happier to have something other then “Eric Clapton’s Christmas” to serenade me through the holidays. Enjoy this holiday treat from Wick-it and have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Wick-it the Instigator and all of us here at MMIBTY.COM!

Wild Belle – It’s Too Late (Snakehips Remix)

This is one creative piece of remixing work. Snakehips takes on this indie track from Wild Belle and adds to it with a very raw hip-hop drum kit, along with an array of digital sounds. It’s euphoric and melodic. The head bobbing is involuntary. Could you dance to it? Sure. But my recommendation is to complement it with your relaxing poison of choice, whatever that may be.

Diplo and Friends Radio – Halloween Edition

Last night on his weekly radio show for BBC radio 1 Diplo opened up the doors to his own haunted house of sorts bringing us two mind bending hours of spooky Halloween tunes, frightening beats, and even a ghost story! As usual in his mixes Diplo runs through an awesome set of tracks skipping from genre to genre flawlessly while providing us with a great blend of electro, moombahton, trap, and just about every other genre of EDM you can think of Including the classic Misfits track Monster Mash. Be sure to check out the lineup at Hard’s event Day of the Dead where Major Lazer and Diplo will be throwing down next saturday along with a massive lineup from Justice to Tommy Trash to Zeds Dead. Tracklist to the best of my knowledge after the Jump, happy Halloween.
