O.C.’s Dan Sena, former hardcore vocalist in Bullet Train to Vegas, Dim Mak alumni and lynch-pin in the Orange County dance music scene with Busywork (which, was run and residented alongside our buddy and featured artist, Clifford Lidell—formerly CASIO), has something for you to hear under a discoball.

We’ve got a couple fresh Dan Sena tracks. The first and original ditty with a disco-house vibe and some electro-house “oomph” titled ‘Panther’ that makes a brother just wanna move. Uncleared samples for some unclean dancing(!), just as the music gods—in all their purple crushed velvet glory—have intended.

Next up, a remix for Dim Mak’s Scanners which was released as a single December 8th with this Dan Sena remix alongside mixes by Tittsworth, Don Diablo and Dirty Disco Youth. The Scanners always remind me of the David Cronenberg’s 1981 flick of the same name (IMDb). There’s a scene in it that resembles what listening to these Dan Sena tunes looks like and it goes like this.

One more for good measure, because Yeah Yeah Yeah’s ‘Heads Will Roll’ is, like, song of the year, and this is a pretty good mixdown.

Dan Sena’s upcoming EP, ‘AYEMGEE’, will be out in 2010. Eyes peeled. ‘Panther’ is likely to prowl it’s way on it.

Also, keep ‘em peeled for a party Missingtoof is supporting with Dan Sena and our UK homie Sharooz in January at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa, O.C. Keep lurking for details.

Steve Aoki: ‘Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles’ out today! Exclusives from Pase Rock, Uffie, Todd Fink of The Faint, Mickey Avalon & more

steveaoki Steve Aoki: Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles out today! Exclusives from Pase Rock, Uffie, Todd Fink of The Faint, Mickey Avalon & more

Steve Aoki (a.k.a Kid Millionaire)—the founder of Dim Mak Records and co-founder of Hollywood’s premier indie/dance weekly, Cinespace (Tuesdays)—is known the world over as a int’l party rocker and so-called celebrity DJ. Today, Steve Aoki droped his debut mix album, ‘Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles’ on Thrive Records.

And what did I tell you? Aoki starts his record off with Refused’s hardcore punk classic ‘New Noise’ and from there on it, it’s three thick layers deep of partytime. Layer one: take a club hit: Justice’s ‘Waters of Nazereth’. Layer two: find the most balls-out remix from one of the biggest names in dance music, Erol Alkan. Layer three: (now here’s the tricky part) enlist your hip and talented friends, say, Spank Rock affiliate Pase Rock to put a special verse in the mix.

Now do that over and over again. You’ve got a pretty unique and phenomenal mix. Here are some layered excerpts pulled from the mix:

All up in the internets’ guts.

Monday through Thursday’s I spend most of the day ducking and dodging responsibility and/or my boss. My usual unkempt appearance (a.k.a. hangover) has been known to draw attention from the higher ups, so I try to lay low most of the day, pretending to work.

Ah, but Fridays! Everyone is preoccupied with turning in their timesheets and trying to get out of the office early, to be worried about why my hair isn’t combed or why my pants are far beyond acceptably wrinkled. It’s the only work day where I get the chance to spend some quality time with my mistress, the internet. We both snuggle up in my cube, I dim the lights and get all up in them guts.

RepertoireR All up in the internets guts.

A while back the Chazology empire came tumbling down and their absence left a gaping hole in our RSS readers. But, after retreating underground to regroup and plan their counterattack they have returned under the guise of RepertoireR! They’ve got a nice new look, but still the same great content. You know there’s always room in our hearts and iPods for Chaz. Should be the same for you. Visit them NYC boys and tell them we sent you.

ATL is the birth place of that legendary dirty south hip hop and has produced many great acts that we know and love. They’ve also produced one of the best blogs out there right now. Kiss Atlanta is run by Preston Craig, who is not only an exceptional blogger but he curates some of the biggest electro parties the ATL has ever seen. He’s like a young, white P. Diddy. Digging through Kiss Atlanta’s archives I found these gems:

And it’s hard to pop on the internet, and read any blog without getting linked to a MySpace page. It’s inevitable, BUT! Facebook, is coming up. It’s already bigger than MySpace in Canada and worldwide it’s the 10th most utilized website. Myspace is number 6.

It seems as though MySpace is feeling Facebook breathing down their neck with all their cool features and sleekly designed site because MySpace is soon changing their (ugly ass) layout & it’s chock full of new stuff. Here’s a screen cap of what the new MySpace will look like:

new myspace sm All up in the internets guts.

And speaking of MySpace, did you see that Aesop Rock was their featured artist last week? Which is not unheard of for an indie rapper to make it up there, BUT now Aesop is MTV’s artist of the week?! Not that I’m complaining, but it’s just strange to me, like when your aunt tries to kiss you on the mouth. I was going to touch on the whole MTV VMA thing but there’s not enough hours in the work day.

Shit, since we’re talking about social networks, we know you guys are on them. ADD US!

It’s almost quitting time for me and as soon at the clock strikes 6 o’clock I will be on my way to see the Institubes‘ PARIS TERROR CLUB tear San Francisco in half! If you’re smart you will be in attendance.

LA Riots: Justice, Scanners, Mystery Jets remixes

lariots LA Riots: Justice, Scanners, Mystery Jets remixes

LA Riots are (metaphorically speaking) burning L.A. down!

LA Riots is a recent formation of two well striped DJ/producers. One is Daniel LeDisko, who is known for his years of residencies at Hollywood’s 82, Moscow, and Le Disko. The other is Jo’B, who formerly DJ’d many-a jungle parties and raves under the name Orion and concurrently produces, the indie pop group Edison Gem.

With LA Riots, the sound is made for electro dance parties. Their stuttering vocal edits and four on the floor basslines are done with finesse and we all notice. Some of the right people certainly noticed the early unofficial remix of Justice with Uffie and recently have been busy doing commissioned remix work for EDM artists Ocelot, Hatiras, indie rock artists Scanners and Mystery Jets, d’n'b heavyweight Photek, pop superstars The Cure, and funky favorites Chromeo.

Nice resume for a band that is nearly fresh out of the gate, eh? Listen and learn:

MP3: LA Riots – Kill Bill

LA and OC heads can check out LA Riots this weekend at a new little multi-genre dance music club in Santa Ana called Trust. I’m favoring this place because I dig that they play breakbeat, garage and other sub-genres in with the electro, because it can’t all be electro/ electro/ electro all the time.

SF heads can see LA Riots play with us at Blow Up on Aug. 31st.

Errybody else sit tight and LA Riots will slowly glaze themselves across the earth. Keep checking LA Riots on MySpace for tour dates.

Teenage wasteland.

Over in the UK store owners have employed a new technique to get rid of loitering youngsters called ‘Mosquito Teen Repelent‘. It’s a device that emits a high pitched noise that most people over the age of 25 can’t here. Supposedly it works exceptionally well.

My question is why the hell would shop owners want to repel UK’s new punk-funk-pop-thrash band ‘The Teenagers‘? Must be miffed that they didn’t make it into their top 8.

teenz Teenage wasteland.

This band is definitely one to watch in 2007. Aside from their own kick ass songs, they aren’t to bad at remixing other bands work either. So far they’ve taken on The Black Ghosts’ ‘Face’, Scanners’ – ‘Lowlife’ & Lo-Fi-Fnk’s ‘City’.
