New mixes

ScatBoarding

I have decided to close up shop here. :( Consolidating all my web efforts into one place - http://www.JustinBaum.com Had a blast with this site but haven't been able to keep it up the way I originally intended. Simply not enough time in the day. Thanks to everyone who listened and gave me feedback. I will still be making mixes (hopefully once a month again!) and will be posting them up on my personal blog. The old itunes podcast / feed will still work fine. If your not interested in anything else I have to say about the internet and other blather you can always just view mixes at - http://www.justinbaum.com/djmixes

Mix 013: A few wobbles short of a rinse out


Bare with me while I get curmudgeonly for a post. Whats with the tail-spin that this "fidget-house" stuff has gone into? Fidget-House, as the kids seem to be calling it, takes cues from pre-millennial UK jungle, 2step and speed garage, basically all the stuff that Switch and his Dubsided co-horts spawned. 90% of it is just awful. The worst of it can be found in the Blogosphere, but have you heard the latest Dubsided releases (Switch's label)? Its like Nu-Jump-Up-Jungle! Anyone remember Joker Recordings and Urban Takeover? Ironically all those Dubsided records are totally sold out (I blame Diplo and Sinden!). Switch and the Dubsided camp produced some pretty amazing tunes in the past few years (Worry about it later rmx / Bump rmx), but the shelf-life and creativity of the recent stuff is a few wobbles short of rinse out. Just one man's opinion. Not trying to be a hater. The cream of the crop fidget can be found on Made to Play. Jessie Rose's label from Germany does a nice job of riding the fine line between disposable dance floor fodder and unique noteworthy tunes that are still a lot of fun. The last two releases by Oliver S are fantastic. There is a CD compilation / mix coming out this month on Made to Play aptly title "Paying Around." It should be a good listen. Potty Mouth Music from Chicago has also grabbed my attention. A lot of their releases channel Tuff Jam and are absolutely solid.

The signal went dead here for about 10 months. To the subscribers that stuck around, I appreciate it. I'm offering this 80 minute mix (3x longer than usual) as a humble apology for the absence... I know its not really summer yet, but I always get summer mixes when the leaves are falling off the trees. So I am seeding this one early. Full disclosure: there really isn't anything summery about it. Just a lot of my favorite tracks.
