Pretty Lights: NYE Chicago 2009

A pre-midnight AND a post-midnight mix from Pretty Lights' NYE show in Chicago a few months back. A tip for all future auteurs, musicians, djs, etc.: using "The Final Countdown" by Europe in any capacity is a surefire avenue to success i.e Gob in Arrested Development. Enjoy the beats!

Common and Kanye West - The Food

Set Adrift On Memory Bliss

A forgotten (or never known) R&B duo from the late 80's P.M. Dawn did know how to sample. They have sampled "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles, Wham! and Boogie Down Productions and on this, perhaps their most remembered song, they use a real groovy sample from Spandau Ballet's "True."

Liam Neeson

Release the Kraken sound bite Zeus sound bites

Grant Green "Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho"

Jay Elec.

Fat Freddys Drop

A New Zealand band whose music often weaves between genres during songs, these guys have so many songs worth listening to. This is "Wandering Eye" off their debut album.

Travis Barker

MSTRKRFT

While Justice produces superior original work, MSTRKRFT are far superior when it comes to remixes. Plug in some headphones and jam out to this super tight "Love In This Club" remix.

Dj Numark

The most fun party mix I've heard in awhile. Would be great to throw this on for a house party or at a bar. Keep people drinking and moving all night.
