Brandon’s TBE Digest is a place where I gather up all the recent jams that are worth a listen (or 10) but don’t necessarily need their own post. Here you will find new tracks by known bands, remixes, covers, and even mashups if they are interesting. My favorites of the lot are in bold.

We got a beast here. A lot of great tracks bubbling up to the surface of this summer jam cauldron we call TBE. You all know what to do. Be safe and stay awesome.

NEW RELEVENT JAMS

♫ Casiokids – Gront lys I alle ledd / New Casiokids! I got it off some compilation and while it’s no “Fin Bikkjen”, it’s still too good not to share. Summer lives!

♫ Big Talk – Getaways / The Killers’ drummer (and fellow Vassar alum!) goes solo. What’s not to love? Certainly better than what Read more

See that nifty little intro in italics up there? Yeah, it was brought to my attention that these Digests didn’t come with much in the way of explanation and even dedicated TBE readers may not really understand what the heck these are considering I haven’t explained them in about 22 volumes. Oops. Anyway, this Digest has some real jam-a-roonies so quit reading my baloney and get in there!

NEW RELEVENT JAMS

♫ The Rapture – How Deep Is Your Love / The Rapture return after waaaay too many years absent with a jam. It’s no “Whoo Alright” but it does bode well for more sweetness from these guys.

♫ Toro y Moi – Saturday Love / Toro y Moi gave us a Summer present! Thanks Chad!

♫ Teddybears – Weed In A Rizzla (feat. Trimbal) / I really don’t know what to Read more

NEW RELEVENT JAMS

♫ Frank Ocean – Dreamkilla / New (or maybe old) Frank Ocean produced by the Midi Mafia who also did one of the best songs of the year so far, “Swim Good.” Butter.

♫ Boots Electric – Boots Electric Theme / The first single from Eagles Of Death Metal’s frontman Jesse “Boots Electric” Hughes. Hmm… I wanna love it but it’s just no EODM track.

♫ Wale – Lacefrontin’ / Remember when this guy was supposed to be the big thing? Just not feeling it. So much going on here but kinda nothing going on.

♫ Star Slinger – Dutchie Courage / Star Slinger bringing the Read more

[PLAYLIST] The Best REMIXES of 2011 – Part 1 (Jan-June)

/37 Comments/in , , , /by

Strap on your shufflin’ shoes and make sure to stretch ’cause this list is an unmerciful messenger delivering jams of the highest quality. Some of these remixes have been banned by certain unenlightened governments for igniting dance parties and group high-fives so share with care.

This edition is chock full of TBE Remix alums and a few newbies shaking things up. Everyone’s favorite, Passion Pit, nab two spots while newbie Star Slinger clinches two more. In a massive non-surprise, RAC takes a heavy slice of this pie with a full 5 slots. Hey, it’s not my fault the guy is a genius. Stay tuned to the number 1 spot to see which brand-newcomers got the number 1 spot and then make sure to leave your thoughts and additions in the comments.

25 – ♫ Britney Spears – Till The World Ends (DOCTOR ROSEN ROSEN Remix) / This isn’t so much “Till The World Ends” but more “After The World Ended.” The Britney comeback party starter gets a post-apocalyptic haunted castle treatment with the “oooh oooh”s providing a completely different effect..

24 – ♫ Miami Horror – Holidays (Butcher Blades Recreational Disaster Remix) / Best name for a remix.

23 – ♫ Jump Jump Dance Dance – Modern Eyes (Vindata Remix) / Why doesn’t this remix have it’s own video of Read more

I’ve had this digest simmering for an extended minute now so cool kids take a chill pill if you are already up on these. Rock on folks and expect vol. 25 sooner than soon.

NEW RELEVENT JAMS

♫ J. Cole – Work Out / Another smooth jam from J. Cole. I like this guy’s flavor.

♫ Portugal, The Man – Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now) / New Portugal! Not my favorite of their tracks but their stuff is generally on a different level anyway.

♫ Hercules & Love Affair – Painted Eyes (Radio Edit) / I’ve heard a few of the new Hercules tracks and while they are no “Blind” this one definitely has Read more

[MASHUP] TBE EXCLUSIVE – DJ INVISIBOY invites us to an R. KELLY PANCE PARTY

/1 Comment/in , , /by

so baby gimme that toot toot , lemme give you that beep beep

♫ R. Kelly vs Pance Party – Ignition Remix (DJ Invisiboy’s Kells Can’t Drive 55 on Rainbow Road Mashup)

Because sometimes a bit of R. Kelly goes a long way. Because sometimes the weekend starts on Thursday. Because sometimes an awesome DJ mixes up an exclusive remix for your site cause you tuned him on to a sweet band. Because always seatbelts.

DJ Invisiboy made some waves a few months ago with his fresh mashup album. After that he found himself trolling our Best Of 2011 sidebar (far right) and stumbled across the magical Pance Party. Inspired by said magical-ness he whipped up this litt jam-o for us. Did I mention he is also a UYD fan? Word.
