So for those of you who didn’t get to tune into BBC Radio 1 last night, Skrillex put on a massive 2 hour essential mix! It’s no secret that Skirllex is my favorite producer out there, so I may be a little biased in saying this but, this was the most amazing essential mix ever. Everyone expected it to be typical old Skrillex playing Scary Monsters and Bangarang. But what people don’t realize is Skrillex didn’t go away to create the same old music. He took some time off to produce some crazy new sounds and tracks and as a fan and music lover I was more than pleased with what I heard. Not only did he play some new tracks and some Dog Blood edits, but the overall selection of songs and genres he covered was incredible. The transitions were perfect and almost unnoticeable. It’s crazy how that man made 2 hours seem like 5 minutes. Needless to say I was blown away so take a listen below, check out the crazy track list and start your Saturday off right! Enjoy!

I for real spent the majority of my day watching movies. I saw that ‘Man of Steel’ flick and even though it was almost as long as ‘Cast Away’ it was still SUPER legit. Drank something with my best friends sister at BDubs. Came home and watched ‘Batman:The Movie’: circa 1966 on Netflix. My little neff wanted to watch it. I was half watching/half busy posting that new Asher Roth track. When I was taking him back home I get a call from my little bro talking about “We’re going to see that Superman movie. We got Logan’s Superman Shirt and Batman Cape on deck. Bring him back to change then we’re about to go.” So I went back to the movies and saw ‘This Is The End’ for the second time this week… That shit is hilarious! I know you seen the preview. James Franco, Seth Rogan, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill and Jay Baruchel all go through the apocalypse together. Plus they got the sequel to ‘Pineapple Express’ in there! After that was over I jumped theaters in time to catch the final battle between Superman and General Zod. Holy Demolition! That last fight scene is tight as fuck I swear to Yeezus! These two dudes got Neo and Agent Smith on SMASH! Definitely spark something up and check those out when you get the time. After this great day at the movies I come home and see this video pop up on my news feed. It’s from that muhfucka with the most dope family, Mac Miller, who along with Rex Arrow films, put out a most dope video in anticipation of his new album. It’s nasty. Mac drops some biblical bars on this epic beat that his alter ego, Larry Fisherman (who I think comes out for a cruise in this one) and Sap (DA BEAT MAN from Delaware) cooked up and produced. This is RAW! The video, the females, the females, the beat, the lyrics, the delivery, it’s all there. After watching/hearing this you should have extinguished all your doubts about Mac Miller as a rap superstar. Shit really everything he did the last 2-3 years should have taken care of that but you know everybody got haters. June 18th is the date. Go pre-order ‘Watching Movies With The Sound Off’ on iTunes and watch the official video of ‘Watching Movies’ below. Just make sure you hit that full screen button because you don’t want to miss any of this!

This track has been the topic of strong conversation for months now since the debut in Avicii’s Ultra Music Festival set back in March. It has received both negative and positive reviews since Tim’s courageous stunt . It was due to premiere out tonight while Skrillex was airing his BBC essential mix, the first once he has done since 2011. I dont know why anyone would ever premiere something the same thing as Skrillex’s BBC essential mix but hey.. Anyways, when I was watching Avicii Ultra live stream hating my life because I wasn’t at Ultra and when I witnessed what Avicii pulled I was absolutely pissed. I thanked god I wasn’t at that set and thought Avicii blew all credit he has as a DJ and producer. Now that I listen to it…It might have grown on me. I dont know if it’s because I like country music or if it’s just actually really well produced. Either way, check out the track below.

“The new tune is set to be premiered today by Pete Tong on Radio 1 despite it being played – to some controversy – at Ultra in Miami this year.”

Ash went ahead and hit us with another preview off his forthcoming mixtape ‘The GreenHouse Effect Vol.2′ this time remixing one of the hottest tracks of the year. This one is for the ladies. Asher gets his smooth criminal on over Robin Thicke and Pharrell’s ‘Blurred Lines’ instrumental. And uhh if you haven’t seen the unrated video of their original then you need to check it out over at VEVO. After watching that vid I can see why Ash was bummed that Pharrell didn’t ask him to feature on it… Those good girls are some bad bitches! There still isn’t a release date on GEV2 but DJ Drama and Don Cannon are both confirmed back for round 2. Look out for more hott shit from Asher as he’s sure to keep it coming but for now turn this one up and get to vibing!

Little bit of background of Mosaiq before we get started on the track description. Mosaiq resides in Northampton, MA and produces Big room, psychedelic, furious, dirt-stomping, ego-destructive, sense-offending, dance music, according to his page. He has decided to throw his hat in the ring for the Insomniac Discovery Project and I’m all about supporting local talent so I thought I’d share this with you guys. As for the track…This…this is something different. A sound I have personally never heard before and it intrigues me so I wanted to post it and get your feedback. Mosaiq is calling this genre Psy-trap and his new original titled Olmeca, is beyond unique. Honestly, I like it too, I like it a lot. It has that evident trap sound but at the same time its so trippy and intricate. It’s definitely worth the listen and free download so check it out!

PS. I saw this quote posted all over his social media links and I like it “FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR ASS WILL FOLLOW”

The Chicago duo decided to release this killer bootleg of Chief Keef’s track ‘Hate Being Sober’ just before they drop it all over their hometown this weekend at Spring Awakening Music Festival. In class Team Bayside High style, they took Chief Keef’s hood joint and turned it into some festival trap gold. Heavy 808′s, chopped Chief Keef vocals give this that festival feel, and I wish I could be out in Chicago this weekend to see them drop this live along with all the crazy bootlegs, remixes and originals they’ve been hooking all of us up with for free lately. Go grab this one for free and get turnt in your own home if you can’t make it out to Spring Awakening. If you are at Spring Awakening be sure to make time in your schedule to check these dudes out, and be on the lookout for some of our team out there!

Can we just take a minute to talk about how talented Anna Yvette is?! Amazing vocalist and producer! She truly is the whole package. Her new tune Mercurial contains her own beautiful vocals with powerful lyrics and a hard hitting electro bass line. At the beginning I didn’t expect to be blown away by the bass because the melody was so soothing. But as the build up continued the drop just hit so hard and the vocals continued the overall takeover of this amazing musical piece. So as a little gift from Anna before her album comes out, TSS presents to you Mercurial for FREE download! Enjoy!
