In the past couple of months, I have been getting into Hookah's and somewhat starting to become an enthusiast of sorts. I started off my adventure by going to The Hookah Lounge in Clearwater, Fl. It's a cool little spot and the owner Dustin is a man of knowledge when it comes to Hookah's. They have really good deals on smoking hookahs. It's $15.00 bucks for unlimited and $8.00 for a single. They also have over 65 different flavors to meet anyone's needs.
I will be playing on June 18th, 2011 from 10pm-2am at the Hookah Lounge. Since it's a lounge I will be playing ambient/indie/chill dubstep all night. You should come and check it out. It will be a good night of music and hookah's!

My buddy was in town last weekend and while he was here we decided to throw together a dubstep mix. It was a one time run through so there maybe some mistakes but there is no mistaking that this mix is raw and dirty. My friend DJ Indigenous who started up his Unit2Productions blog also has it on his site. So if you want more mixes then head on over to his site. In the mean time take a step into this Dubstep!
The Collective Loop is proud to start The Collective Loop Mixed Series. So welcome to Volume I of this series. I asked my good friend Skillz to start off this mixed series with a mix of some good old 2-Step. If you remember, I did a post about Skillz last year almost to this date about him taking all of his vinyl and turning it into a collection of mixed speed garage sets called the "Speed Garage Chronicles". Well he is up to Chapter 14 so if you're a Speed Garage junkie like we are then I suggest you start filling those ears with dirty basslines. In the mean time have a listen to the new mixed series below.
So I have been getting down to some chilled out DnB. I know what your thinking DnB is a little to hardcore for me. Well no one says that DnB has to be intense or overwhelming sometimes it's just chill and soothing. Two DJ's know this for a fact and you can hear it in their styles.Bachelors Of Sciencehave just released their fourth album "Warehouse Dayz" which is full of great tracks that consistently surprise you with a diverse palette of sounds, ensuring that things never get stale. Although this duo has just released their new album they have been getting more of a response on their two remixes they produced. The first remix that they did was Death Cab for Cutie's "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" which by itself is a great track. In this remix though it doesn't disappoint the ears with it's clean drums and shimmering vocals which gives it a dreamy sound which I enjoy. The second remix they did was The XX "Infinity" which keeps the drums minimal while still keeping it's rhythm and keeping the song focused yet soothing. If you want to check out the new album by Bachelors Of Science then check out their website where they have the album streaming. If you want to download the two remixes then just click on the titles of the tracks in the post.
Bonobo became a favorite of mine after hearing his song "Terrapin" which was release back in 1999 by Tru Thoughts. He then in 2000 released his first LP "Animal Magic" which was self produced and he grew quickly to become the new down-tempo pioneer. In 2003 Bonobo switched labels and came over to Ninja Tune in which he produced three albums under this label. This includes his new album"Black Sands".
The new album "Black Sands" is Bonobo's newest album since 2006. This album was release in March of 2010 and it couldn't have came at a better time. Simon Green has once again provided us with a electronic plethora of hip hop/ jazzy hybrid mixed with the already well achieved textured sounds from his previous albums. Bonobo I guess you can say is a medley of jazz, funk, soul, electronic, pop, hip-hop, trip-hop, drum and bass, lounge, classical, and so on. Its very hard to stick him into one genre of music due to his vast style and arrangements of his songs. In listening to the new album you will find this to be true as you go from one song to the next. The album has a flow to it that will go by unnoticed throughout the album. So check it out and let me know what you think of the album. Below is a 10 minute teaser of the album.
Last Thursday when I was in Ohio I played at a Sushi Spot called: Kasai. Nice place. I had an amazing time eating good sushi and playing with my DJ friends from back up north. Dom and Diddle both played some good tunes to keep me listening while delighting in my decadent sushi. If you didn't get a chance to listen to the live stream of my set then don't you worry your little self's because I recorded a mix the night before. So have a listen to Thoroughly Raw or download the sethere.
