Mighty Mouse - Summer 2019 Mixtape

Disco magician Mighty Mouse has just offered up his latest mixtape with over an hour of gorgeous grooves and intoxicating edits. Right from the jump the "Summer 2019 Mixtape" is downright divine, opening with dope Defected release The Vision's "Heaven" and half of the duo, Kon's edit.

Killer cuts continue to flow with Mighty Mouse's own edit of Diana Ross riffing relentlessly onward. After the heat of James Curd comes back to back cool numbers from Coflo and Jasper Street Co., both of whom take us to disco church. The next Mighty Mouse edit comes in the form of Change's incredible beauty "Angel In My Pocket" which is yet to be released, but I'm hoping comes available in the next email update (sign up here). After some awesome horns and brilliant bongos, we're greeted by the giant groove of Boston Bun's "Don't Wanna Dance," which is the kind of track that sure to "Blow Your Mind." And jokes aside, the next track of the same name lives up to its title as the sample at its core, "The Rubberband Man" is one of my all-time favourite tracks. Wrapping up the mix Mighty Mouse unleashes yet another edit, this time taking on ABBA before bidding adieu with the sensational "Thunder In My Heart."

A-Trak - Hollerboard Redux Set

There's no debating A-Trak's spot on the Mount Rushmore of DJs. You could literally spend days, if not weeks, enjoying his wide range of sets and mixes. Back in October of 2015 he dropped his "Bloghaus Revival Mix," with the followup coming about about six months later, here. While he didn't directly reference the Erol Alkan forum, it no doubt played part in the track selection as a hub for electronic music aficionados from around 2007-2009. Last night he released a recording of a September 28th set in Philadelphia entitled "Hollerboard Redux Set."

As he mentions in the description, this Hollerboard Redux party arose from the message board of the same name, based around Diplo and Low Budget's Hollertronix parties. Before Soundcloud and EDM, it was message boards and forums like Erol Alkan's and Hollerboard where DJs and fans alike shared mashups and "lesser-known regional styles," bringing incredible creativity and experimentation to DJ sets. The result below, a mix of tracks from the Hollerboard Era and new songs with the same spirit, is one of the widest ranging sets you'll ever hear. Where else are you going to get Billy Joel pitted against A$AP Rocky & Skepta in the same hour as Justin Timberlake, Parliament, Bloc Party and Kraftwerk.
The back and forth in the mix is incredible. One minute you're popping off to Cajmere "Percolator" the next your gliding across the floor to A-Trak's ABBA aided "Voulez-Vous" or pumping up the jam before releasing the beast on Hall & Oates. That said, A-Trak's made all of those transitions fit together better than PB&J. Like Kid Sister's "Pro Nails," which he helped write, this mix is dressed to the nines, "toes done up with her finger nails matchin'." Just one look at the massive tracklist, almost as wide as it is tall, and you'll realize what kind of treat you're in for. It's some serious "Laffy Taffy" as A-Trak's journey is sure to leave your head spinning.

Finally, as writing this A-Trak tweeted out a list of his DJ sets from Hollerboard to Bloghaus to Rap and Cut It Out (here). If you've missed any of these, make sure to save or download for your holiday parties!
