Leave it to Alex Metric to do a re-edit of Beastie Boys‘ Sabotage that I could see myself droppn’ on the dance floor. There’s a ton of these edits and remixes out there but I think this one takes the cake! Taking me back with this one, nice work! Beastie Boys – Sabotage (Alex Metric Re-Edit) ps. the static/fuzzy noise is how it is at the beginning. Just let it play through. It’s not a corrupt file or what ever Read More

There’s a new weekly starting this Wednesday at the Hunter Gatherer Lodge featuring local DJs, Darwin, CaseOne, and FileJerks and is hosted by Anna Taylor. From what I’m hearing you can expect to hear everything from Electro House to Hip Hop and Mashup as well as other styles of dance music. There’s no cover charge on locals night and they have plans on bringing in some out of town headliners where cover will vary. Love the name, love the vibe they’re trying to create, Read More

As most of you know, we’re celebrating 12 years of the Lost Boys family this Saturday at the Baltic Room on Capitol Hill. Many years of hard work and dedication have put these guys on the top of the Seattle music scene. Playing everything from funk and soul to party rock and mash up, electro and indie dance to top 40 and hip hop and back again, these guys have done it all. Aside from displaying a wealth of talent, they’ve also put together some incredibly successful nights, Read More

Director Stephen Alex Vasquez has taken on the challenge to document growth of the electro genre in America dubbed “The Electro Wars” which was inspired by my favorite blogger and bro Carles of Hipster Runoff. I really want this documentary to succeed, especially if it will bring more awareness for the music. I wish I had the time to film something for Seattle. There are some really fun parties happening right here in our city that more people should know about. There’s a lot Read More

Miike Snow is a favorite band of mine that will be in my iTunes rotation for a long time. Their self-titled album “Miike Snow” released last year made it on my top 10 list for 2009. I always love finding albums like “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” and Passion Pit’s “Manners” where every single track from beginning to end is top notch. Miike Snow’s album does the same for me and when bands of this caliber have quality releases, I can only anticipate Read More

I got turned on to Two Door Cinema Club a few months back when “I Can Talk” first dropped and have been a fan ever since. Two Door Cinema Club is coming to the States in April/May but yet again Seattle is not lucky enough to get a show as good as this. They are how ever going to be down in Portland so maybe someone will wise up and pick up a date out here. If not… road trip! I’m posting “I Can Talk” plus a couple remixes and the newest remix of Read More

Currently he holds a weekly residency at Cinespace Dim Mak Tuesdays in Hollywood alongside the internationally renowned Steve Aoki, and Them Jeans, the tallest DJ in the world. He is committed to proper and creative mixing, finding his most satisfying dj moments to be with house music at the 128 bpm level.

Here is another favorite video of mine that stretches back to 2008. It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new from Ladyhawke so I figured I would make a quick post to share this with you. I totally missed her swing through Seattle last year with Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head (amazing seattle radness) so I hope she finds her way back out here. What else….oh yeah, keep an eye out for a remix of Ladyhawke’s ‘Back of the Van’ by our very own Flat Read More

Model: Alena Dawn | Photographer: Richard Clements | Design: Flat Black I put together a best of FTF 2009 mix titled ‘Indie Anna’. It features tracks you can find on our previous blog. I tried to cover as much as I could with this one so it features Indie Dubstep, Bassline and Dance. If you like a track head over to the old blog and search it. I actually recorded this a little bit ago but in the recording there’s a couple glitches, not the mixing just the way it recorded so Read More
