Diplo - About That Life ft. Jahan Lennon (Music Video) [DWNLD]

Mad Decent head honcho, Diplo, switches up his usual dance floor stylings to a mellow psychedelic shift on his latest track, "About That Life". The hypnotizing visuals are backed up by the peace and love evoking vocals of Jahan Lennon, sending you on a vintage acid trip. You'll find yourself unexpectedly listening to this on repeat all the time, trust me. Watch the video and download the single below if your "About That Life"!

Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix - Luvstep 2.5 [DWNLD]

Here's a laid back mix by Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix which they recorded during Philadelphia's Mad Decent Block Party. When i say laid back, I'm referring solely to the vocals cause this shit comes with some bass. Keep your ears open to that Ali Love / Alvin Risk track cause its a whole new level of craziness. Enjoy!  - Sabes

DJ Sega - The Throne Is Watching Me (EP) [DWNLD]

A couple of summers ago I was at the Mad Decent Block Party in New York where I was enlightened by an array of up and coming musical talents. Ask anyone that was there though, DJ Sega was the standout.  From the second that I heard his Riot Music remix blow up the crowd that day I've been hooked on his Philly club bangers. Most recently, Sega just dropped his free EP, The Throne Is Watching Me, which features hot remixes of O.T.I.S, H.A.M, 2Pac Back, Finito and more! Listen and grab the EP below.

Bird Peterson - Drankenstein 2 (Mix) [DWNLD]

I never got a chance to grab the first Drankenstein mix but after about 30 seconds into this one, I went back and grabbed it. There's nothing more amazing then dirty southern rap mixed over filthy trance beats which is exactly what goes down in this mix.

All I want to do is play this over and over, "when the sun goes down!"

Hover over album cover with mouse to view track list

I'm not usually a huge fan of mixtapes like these but I've found that they usually have a couple of diamonds in rough in there by artists on the rise.

Heres one of the tracks I was really feelin' on this project:

Gucci Mane - It's Alive featuring Swizz Beatz (Funkineven Remix)
 It's Alive (Feat. Swizz Beats) (Funkineven Remix) by ccconr

Keep a look out for Funkineven, the man is bringing an interestingly dope new flavor to electronic music.

Savage Skulls and Douster have released an album together that is available at Beatport and iTunes. The collaboration named, Get Rich or High Tryin, gives off a sound that is borderline pop and underground beats. Mad Decent is letting us preview the tracks and also download a couple!

The Weekly Electronic Smash!

It's that time of the week again and a lot has been happening in the electronic world. We'll start off by checking out Mad Decent! This week Mad Decent released two dope mixtapes. The first one is by none other but the legend that is Mumdance. Last week I wrote about how Mumdance was dubbing the new hit from France but to be honest, he is so legendary he shouldn't even be worried about dubbing the next big French hit. A while ago he dropped another mixtape with AC Slater on Trouble and Bass, but this Mad Decent mixtape has so much unreleased music some of the songs don't even have titles! Download it below and blast it!

Mad Decent also released the Lazerproof mixtape which was made by both Diplo and Switch for La Roux while they were in Jamaica working on new stuff. It has a think reggae feel to it and it definitely fits with the whole Major Lazer outfit. The album is available below so download it!

Fool's Gold did something quite spectacular this week: they started up a side blog - Food's Gold. And yes, you guessed it, it's completely and utterly about food! How dope is that? Not only can you check out new releases but now you can check out awesome recipes! Now all we need are foolishly golden drinks and we're set for the best nights out!

Fool's Gold also released the L.A. Riot's Summer mix which can be downloaded below. Personally, I enjoyed their spring mix more, but check it out and post me some feedback on which you prefer!

Ed Banger Records have finally released the digital version of Mr. Oizo and Gaspard Auge's Rubber EP. As a bonus on the EP, and this one goes out to all our dubstep fans, Flying Lotus remixed the shit out of the song Rubber. In fact, he remixed it so much, that it's officially called the 'Flying Lotus Unprotected Sex' remix. It's that legit. A while back Mr. Oizo had remixed a FlyLo song, so FlyLo has just paid the man back.

Finally, as a bonus this week I offer two specials:

1. The Fool's Gold x Creators Project : Explaining the origins and the work at Fool's Gold, exclusive to the Slow Roast Records blog.

2. A Mux Mool remix! I'm a big fan of Mux Mool and their work and this remix is dope. Check out the song below!

Until next week people!

Hold Yuh (Major Lazer Remix) - Gyptian [DWNLD]

I ran into this song a week ago right when it first came out on the Major Lazer summer mix which can be downloaded off the Mad Decent website. This reggae infused dancehall song is right up Major Lazer's street and fits perfectly into the summer mix. Although there is a strong hint of reggae remnants within the song, the bass rhythm sounds a lot like Steve Angello and Laidback Luke's Show Me Love. In any case, this song is a definite tribute to the summer and if you're at a BBQ, a foam party or just simply out in the sun, all you need is to press play!

Here's the link to the Major Lazer Summer mix to listen and download: Major Lazer - Summer Mix

And this is "Hold Yuh" (Major Lazer Remix) - Gyptian
