“This mixtape is pretty massive. The night after the death of Michael Jackson, Cookin’ Soul headed into the studio to make a tribute to the King of Pop. They took a handful of his greatest hits and mashed them up with some of the biggest names in the biz today: Kid Cudi, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, Nas. Grab a few of our favorite tracks below, and if you like what you hear, pick up the entire mixtape HERE. Peep the track list below – hot shit, huh??” -Kick In The Peanuts Blog

Sounds of Summer mixtapes by PalmsOutSounds
“It appears that, for those of us in Europe at least, Summer could finally be here. If England is seeing some sunshine then it’s a good bet that the rest of the world is basking in the golden sunshine that seems to elude us Brits for 11 months of the year. If not slightly more. Whether you’re planning to shmooze it up on the terraces of Ibizan superclubs, trudge around mud-filled stages at a list of festivals the size of your arm or simply charcoal your sausages on the coals of a hastily arranged BBQ – one thing is essential to the success of your summer….the soundtrack. This year we’ve decided to take all the hard work out of at least that aspect; with the launch of PALMS OUT SOUNDS: OF SUMMER! Twice a week all through the season we will be offering up summer themed mixtapes from some of the world biggest, and fastest rising producers and DJs; meaning an end to bickering about who gets to put the next track on the iPod! These mixes are designed to bring out the best of the summer and provide you with perfect party music; we don’t just want 20 bangers put in an order, we want something a little bit different with some tracks that might just make your day / night / early morning! So expect to hear some sublime selections and even some exclsuive track giveaways from the likes of Utah Saints, Shadow Dancer, Louis La Roche, Shinichi Osawa and many many more….kicking off in SEVEN DAYS TIME (2nd July) with the mighty FOAMO (plus as a bonus the world exclusive of his huge dubstep remix of La Roux…) and then three days later with the synthtastic SIDECHAINS!!”
“We could think of no better way to start the series than with a mix from one of our favorite producers – an all-round nice guy whose been rising faster than recent BBQ sales since we gave you the exclusive on his defining remix of Mystery Jets, this past Autumn. Foamo now finds himself incredibly in demand; with a summer calendar peppered with residency slots in the Chew The Fat room at Space, Ibiza – and we’re super pleased he managed to find time to put together a collection of sure-fire seasonal anthems. Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out Sounds of Summer 02 – Sidechains, coming this Friday!!”
“Next up in our Summer music drive is a name that has been catching eyes and ears around the world for the past few months whilst spearheading the “filter-nu-house-diso-french-revivalist” movement. Take a look at the tracklist before you listen, and you know it’s going to be something special – this mix has got more classics than the British Library and more funk than a gallon of James Brown’s manjuice. I’ve had a listen on a gloomy Thursday night whilst watching sixteen nobodies grasp hopelessly at fame and yet it felt like I was in Rio. In 1999.
It’s safe to say that this should be on your iPod’s allllll summer… ladies and gentlemen – SIDECHAINS! Check back on Tuesday for 03 – Jaymo and Andy George! Tracklist after the jump…”
“Last week saw a dip in our Summer mixtape-athon (and concurrently the weather); for which we can all only apologise and work profusely hard to make it up this week! First up is a chap who seems to have found his way firmly on to the front page of remixers for any self respecting label looking for a big bassy remix. One would like to say it’s because his name notoriously puts him first in the Yellow Pages, but it’s probably more to do with his outrageously consistent style. Serving up a garage-tastic summer mix with a few belters for good measure, and offering up a different style of Summer Goodness than we’ve previously featured, we give you…A1 BASSLINE! Also this week we’re bringing you His Majesty Andre and Louis La Roche; keep em locked!”
THROW THEM THREES UP HIGH!!! iPhonic will be playing at Peabody’s on Saturday, June 20th so if you are in Cleveland make sure you hit up the show. They also play June 30th at The Symposium. 10$ at the door, 8$ if you get it in advnace. I can get you some in adnvance if you want, or ask the band. I have been following Dave’s musical path since his first beats like Puppet, Each and Everyday, So Soothing, Sick chill, etc. and have been a big fan as well as a frat brother, friend, and now housemate. I know I say it a lot but they are about to explode and take Ohio to the top with em. I can never say enough good things about these guys. If you haven’t seen em yet, get to Peabody’s on Saturday! Buy a shirt and a CD too! You won’t be disappointed, I promise. Some rowdy party tracks, a lot of crowd interaction, singing along & jumpin, lots of sweat and energy, and a lot of beer and partying. Here’s a little preview from there last show at Peabody’s.
“Stretching across the cannon of great American music of the 20th century, iPhonic is bringing you anything but the standard hip-hop infused rock we have all come to know and love. We have spent our time and energy this winter 2008-2009 producing our own and first tracks at The Lava Room Recording Studios in Cleveland, Ohio with Dustin Mapes. Here we turned what were once strictly hip-hop songs into something we are proud to say is collectively our own. With influences too vast in numbers and too unique to each individual member of iPhonic to list, it is very hard to pinpoint the exact style of music we have achieved. We would say that we draw alot from the blues, classic rock, motown, pop, and early 90’s hip-hop. Each member of iPhonic brings intense energy to our live show and we are eager to see you bodies moving as we rock the show!!”
Summer time is here and I have found a very chill mixtape to kick it to while on the porch grillin out or for whenever your catchin some rays outside.

With a diverse track selection from Jay-Z, Shirley Bassey, Roy Ayers, Beastie Boys, Bob Marley, J5, Roots, Nas, to Debarge , and Switch & Midnight Starr. I’m diggin it, hope you guys like it as well.
“It’s like digital reggae and dancehall from Mars in the future….pop culture run through a Jamaican filter!” -Diplo
“The world is likely not ready for the arrival of Diplo & Switch’s musical machination Major Lazer; a renegade commando with a lazer arm and a rocket-powered skateboard who fights legions of Vampires, Zombies, Pimps, Mummies and other unsavory forces of evil. The first album in years of original material by these two highly regarded producers, the music is Diplo & Switch’s interpretation and homage to the songs and sounds they have discovered through the years.. The identity of Major Lazer was created by the two producers as a conduit to express their affinity for Jamaican music. The album references dancehall, ska, reggae, dub, calypso, and soca music recontextualized via Diplo and Switch’s club friendly background.” -maddecent
Four-man laptop powerhouse The Glitch Mob has been performing recent shows with only three members onstage, and that’s a setup that, according to the group, is likely to stick, as member Matthew “Kraddy” Kratz (right side in above pic) has announced his departure. A recent posting on the group’s site had this to say:
“Due to creative differences, we have decided, as a group, to part ways. We believe that this will be a positive change for everyone involved and we continue to support Kraddy as both a friend and a musician.”
Kratz confirmed the above information, simply saying, “The Glitch Mob and I decided it would be best to part ways,” and also added, “I will continue performing and producing as Kraddy and I will have some new tunes for you soon.”
