Graduation Mix for Gus Bus

So. Its that time of the year when people graduate.  And I just graduated.  Me and loads of my friends won't be sitting on porches, drinking beers, and playing obnoxious music together for a long time.  But the one thing I can take from it is a list of songs that we thoroughly played out on that porch.  That, and new songs that we would have rocked, and can rock together in spirit.  My friend Gus, whose grad party I will be going to tomorrow, inspired me to make an hour long mix of some of these songs.  I know we will enjoy it thoroughly.  I hope you will too.  Enjoy!

Nero, Delta Heavy, and the most amazing song in EDM (arguably).

Nero may possibly be the most remixed EDM artist in recent history.  It seems that each single released off of Nero's first album, Welcome Reality, received a guest remix by some big name artist.  Whether it was Knife Party's (Pendulum's side project) remix of "Crush On You," Nero & Skrillex's remix of "Promises" or Roksonix's remix of "Me & You," it was always phenomenal.  Then came the multitude of remixes of Nero's single "Must Be The Feeling" which samples "Time to Move" by Carmen.  In the UK, Nero released an EP with the original version, a live version, and 5 remixes including one remixed by Nero & Flux Pavilion, and another remixed by Kill The Noise.  Other remixes include SebastiAn, Brookes Brothers,  and South Central.

Then, six months ago, Delta Heavy, the innovative Drum & Bass powerhouse, released their remix of "Must Be The Feeling."  I cannot express in words how amazing this song sounded the first time I heard it.  Or the 100th time.  To make it even better, it has been released by Nero on his soundcloud.  I figure if you haven't gotten your hands on it yet, now is the time. Enjoy!

12th Planet's The End Is Near, courtesy of Skrillex and the North American Mothership Tour

You always remember that moment or reason why an artist ascends into the ranks of the permanent replay list.  On November 9th, 2011, at the LC Pavilion was the first time I saw Nadastrom, Two Fresh, 12th Planet, and Skrillex on the Mothership Tour.  Coincidentally it was also the first time I saw Machine Gun Kelly, the first time I went to an EDM set, and it was when I discovered Moombahton (via Nadastrom's El Baile Diabluma EP).  Nadastrom was super intense with the heavy beats; Two Fresh has a great concept, but it wasn't in my taste.  12th Planet came out like a god-send from planet party.  Regardless of skill as a DJ, his ability to read the crowd and his minimix with MGK on stage created a once in a life time event for me.  Skrillex's show was great too, but it was what I expected: The Cell, mainly Skrillex's own tracks, heavy bass and bright lights.

If you couldn't tell yet, I was geeked through the entirety of 12th Planet's set.  Opening with "Niggas In Paris" and following with some of his own tracks plus others by Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, and a whole slew of artists I loved.  After the concert ended (some five and a half hours later) I couldn't hear right for three days.  At that point, I went back to my hobby of discovering new music.  And discover I did.  Through 12th Planet's partnership with Scion and his The End Is Near Tour, he released Scion A/V Presents: The End Is Near EP for free.  Five tracks of American-made wobble for the masses to enjoy.  This EP includes two of his bigger tracks including Burst ft. GMCFOSHO (with Skrillex & Kill The Noise) and one of my favorite tracks of all time The End Is Near pt. 1 (with Flinch).  Enjoy!
