Swedish electronica/hiphop/glitch/8-bit producer Leoparden is finally releasing his first LP. It’s an intense moodswing that takes you on a journey. Take an hour, relax, put on some headphones and enjoy.
Download the complete 10 track album on Leopardens MySpace.
Leoparden - “Oneone” (zShare)
DJ AM and Travis Barker are recovering from a planecrash this last friday. But they lost close friends and we wanted to give a shoutout in respect.
They made a mixtape together called “Fix Your Face”, download it here.
We caught up with Miss Moretti in NYC where we got a chance to tag team it with her on the 1’s and 2’s, but now she’s back in LA where she has been a club fixture holding it down alongside pals DJ AM, Steve Aoki and Cut Chemist. We also got her brand new official remix of the Katy Perry track “Hot N Cold” to share. It’s a B-more tasting club banger with some classic old school samples that rocks any dancefloor. Mia, take it away!
“If I had to draw a picture of this mixtape it would be a 1989 white Volkswagon Cabriolet with four sixteen year old girls squeezed in the back, Ken in the driver seat and me riding shotgun. It’s my ode to summer. I’ve never really played a pop set, but since i’ve been out on tour with my girl Katy Perry, I finally had to go there. I made this mix to see how many layers of cheese I could pile on and I think I got it pretty thick. Thick n tasty. Enjoy!”

And the tracklist:
LMFAO - I Am NOT A Whore
These guys are fucking rad, those dirty sexy hard electro beats with even dirtier nasty ass lyrics, ugh, so good. I liked this beat so much I used it on my Biggie remix. They are actually hip hop guys, they just put a new twist to their act with some mad catchy homemade electro sounds, they like to call it “New 80s” I just call it “UGHHHH!”
Good As Gold For Top Billin - Shake My Ass
Holdin it down in Helsinki!!! Top Billin released a limited edition 12″ EP, Tales From Top Billin, and Shake Your Ass is just one of the 6 jems on it. This particular track was produced by the fine fellow Finnish folks know as Good As Gold. This shit is my weapon of mass destruction.
Trina – Pull Over
I love me some Trina. Pull Over was on her first album that came out in 2000 and it’s the dirty-ass freak-rap strawberry jamz.
The Marvelettes - Mr. Postman (DJ Technics BMore Remix)
Mr. Aoki Jr. has just about killed this one for me, but this is a classic BMore flip by bodymore’s own, and it works perfect so pfffffff, oh well.
Shirelles - My Boyfriend’s Back (DJ Fashen Edit)
I’ve played Banana Split with Fashen twice now and he can hold it down on the 1s and 2s like nobodies biz. All his edits I’ve heard are on point. He doesn’t funk with the OG too much, it’s a solid oldies rework w/ some drums that go bum bum bum.
Nelly Furtado – Maneater
OH no I didn’t. Gaspard told me this was the “Girl Only Mix Tape” and I think it’s because of this cheese pizza I delivered, but I decided it’s been off the charts long enough to start playing it again, even though I’ve never played it before and it is just about as “girls only” as it gets.
Salt and Peppa - Push It
The first ultimate nasty song. The end.
Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80’s
The first official single off Calvin’s record, which is basically an electroclash tribute to a decade of Raybans, Rubics Cubes and sneakers, wooowzers! No wonder it’s a hit. Not quite a “sample” of You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) but close enough, the song (like the whole album) is a bouncy infectious ode to the decadent decade when everything was acceptable! Damn Calvy, it still is.. I got hugs!
P.S. Calvin himself was born in 1984, hugs all round, drugs all round!
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round
1980s one hit wonderful. Nothing more nothing less. If it works for Calvin, it works for me.
CSS - Let’s Make Love (Calvin Harris Remix)
Calvin Harris makes this song bearable again by speeding it up, giving it a thick layer of dirty synth beats and adding those little special Calvy touches, most notably the cowbell.
Chromeo - Bonafied Lovin (Yuksek remix)
I thought I was sold on the LA Riots remix of this Chromeo fav until I heard this version by Yuksek. Whhhaaat. I was sleepin! Yuksek is comin up on the French electro tip, running a one man show a la our man Calvin and def holding it down with the remixes too. It’s just so smooth and sexy and dare I say.. techno! Peep the Lolipop remix where he gets his funky techno fresh on.
Bonde Do Role - Solta O Frango (Mia Moretti remix)
I love this band, I get a little bit of a Justice vibe from them, but I wanted to take Solta O Frango and just dirty it up a tad. It translates to “Free The Chickens” which made me think it’s the Brazilian version of “Who Let The Dogs Out” with that in mind I just added some reverb, delay, sirens… to me it’s a party jam, backyard style mom’s out of town lets have a kegger rage.. Free the Chickens, Woof Woof!!!! It also could be a political statement, but I’m taking the low road.
Baltimore Club - I Just Wanna Fuck (BMore Edit)
After all those beers there is only one thing to do. FUCK. This track is less of a song and more of a bad ass acappella with a funky conga line drum beat that creeps in and out like a bad ex, “boy you in luck.”
Britney Spears - Gimmie More (DJ Barletta Remix)
If Brit’s original version of this track rated R then DJ Barletta picks it up and puts it behind the curtain in the XXX corner. It’s faster, harder and dirtier. I love me some Britney, this new album has killer electro beats and naughty lyrics, but they are a little slow and thin, problem solved.
Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl (Dr. Luke & Benny Blanco Remix)
Im sitting on KP’s tour bus so I can’t hate on the pop hit of the summer.. #1 for 6 weeks… can’t walk into a store, elevator, mall or club without hearing it, but Dr. Luke who produced the summer hit also released a remix he did with Mr. Blanco and it’s a little more our steaz. It’s basically a straight up electro dance remix, the boys sample about every electronic programmed beat you could ask for so just pick the part you want, I call it a DJ salad bar.
Katy Perry vs. Dr. Hollywood - She Kissed My Girl
Dr. Luke may make millions producing hit singles, but there’s a new doc in town. My boys Dr. Hollywood impressed both Katy and me with their super sultry “cover” of I Kissed A Girl. Simon Rex (aka Dirt Nasty) raps on the last verse of the track, but he didn’t get the memo, “I like electro, I like retro, I like ghetto, house and techno,” so he didn’t make the cut.
Kid CuDi - Day ‘N’ Nite (Crookers Remix)
Everyone is up on Kid CuDi tip, but it was Crookers who put the newbie rapper on the map in the electro club scene. I gotta give CuDi mad props though on the lil mixtape I just peeped (thanks discobelle); I am feeling that 50 Ways To Make A Record track, the whole thing came just in time for my 90s obsession, it’s giving me Pharcyde meets Cut Chemist. Uh, na nana na.
Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize (Mia Moretti remix)
90’s what!!! I wanted to make this slammin, so I just sped it up and laid a hard beat under the acappella. I love that crazy synth sound I found too, it sounds like robots makin babies. Speaking of babies, my favorite part in the song is the “ménage a trois’ I looped it twice and slowed it way way down on the second one. Those sexy little floppy noises (a la Freaks of the Industry) were actually a mistake, they were the tail end of a beat I chopped in half and forgot to delete, but they worked so perfect for the freak nasty nast vibe I was going for that I just moved em over a little and dropped the other beat.
Green Velvet - Shake & Pop
The electro anthem.
MSTRKRFT - She’s Good For Business
My fav track off their EP, The Looks, this tune wins my heart with that crispy clap under the fun vocal hook. The boys left plenty of room in this tune for us to play, it’s clean enough to even layer the vocals, which usually makes me cringe. This song is like a chameleon, it’s strong enough to be the lead, but it doesn’t have too big of an ego to take the back seat and just meld into another track.
LMFAO - Lil’ Hipster Girl
LMFAO shows a little more of their hip hop side in this track, and it’s a song about me, so what’s not to love.
Michael Jackson - Thriller
At my house it’s Halloween every night.
BOOM!
Our boy Krames hit us up with a dancefloor friendly hard hitting version of this hiphop anthem of the month. He takes away the unnessary, speeds it up and BOOM! Download and play in your local club tonight!
DLakes new EP “Bmore of a Hipster v2.0″ (out on Unruly) has been out for a while now but I still haven’t heard anyone play “White Pants” in Sweden. I totally love that track, it makes my face light up and my feet move. Do I really need to buy a pair of white pants… probably now.
Actually the whole EP is filled with party baltimore bangers and you should buy it at TTL or Itunes or wherever today. DJs with self respect play 320 mp3s only but you all know that.
Also, if you get the chance check out Claire Huxtable that’s a 100% live show with DLakes music. They are frequently touring the states and are looking for gigs overseas. So hopefully I get to dance to the live version soon. I think I’m saving my new pants.
@C: This one is 4 u.
DLake - White Pants (192 kbps) (zShare)
Bonus: Get the mixtape/promo “Bmore Of a Hipster - The Mixtape v2.0″ here.
The hardworking crew over att Nossa seems to be on top of things as always. Here is a new hard hitting mix from Cassiano pushing that Rio sound.
I’m only wondering when the new collection is coming out, I need new tees!!!!!
Update: Unruly is turning 15 and they are throwing a big ass party in Baltimore on friday. Check out that lineup and then ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out. And if good music isen’t enough they have free kegs all over the club and serving free breakfast at 4am (ha)!
The original post:
Hey, it’s christmas time in the middle of the summer and this time it’s the legendary Scottie B who plays the part of Santa. Unruly is bringing it big with this 2nd generation baltimore club. This might be the best thing to happen to club music since the SL1200. All these releases are already or soon up at Turntable Lab. You need this and lots of it!
GrownUps can talk for themselves:
“Since 1994 Unruly Records, owned and operated by Baltimore’s legendary DJ’s Scottie B. and Shawn Caesar, has been hailed as the home of Baltimore Club. People around the globe have asked the question: WHAT IS BALTIMORE CLUB? The brand of Baltimore, the foundation of club combined with the element, art and passion of music is what drives the genre most people know as Baltimore club music. This art form of music captivates millions & millions around the globe, crossing racial lines and trends. Our music transcends and revives partying while bringing life back to the dance world. Expanding on the brand, Unruly has branched out and is now recognized for much more than just its Baltimore Club records. For many years, Baltimore hip hop has gone unheard.

Tracklist after jump:
Discobelle loves Top Billin. They rule the clubscene in Scandinavia and when they release something new our hq transforms into this studio 54 disco. This track is superdope clubmusic strictly for all the lovely ladies. We’re playing this one peaktime tonight!
“Here’s what’s up:
We were discussing about the records we put out and since we play alot of sweet stuff, not just only the club bangers and rave numbers, so why don’t we put some of our sweet favourites on a 12″? You all remember “Girlfriend” by DJ Technics? A huge record for us. The new EP is entitled “Sexytime” as it’s got some joints for the ladies (that’s what out club night is all about, see it for yourself). We wanted to put out the secret weapons we play all the time such as Bounce Camp’s “Big Dancin” and “Fuck n Tell” by DJ J.Laini (who’s one the best hip hop djs in Finland and a long time associate). Riskay also needed some remixing by yours truly (that we made ages ago) and DJ Anonymous killed it with his Romanthony sampling “U Fine”. France is blazin on the juke scene right now and Candyman & Leatherface of the Violator Squad (aka The Bootycall crew) gave us “Ultimate Feeling”, which will stay in your head until you go crazy! We also wanted to finish the ep with a track from Eli Escobar (who killed it at our club Redrum last year), and needed to have his Keyshia Cole remix on wax (one of the best remixes EVER)! Hopefully you’ll all enjoy these tracks as much as we do. Big thanks to you all, let’s keep club music alive.”
-TOP BILLIN
Next EP from the Top Billin label will be the “MAPLE LEAF EP” with JOTS, SMOKE&MIRROS (aka U-TERN and NEOTERIC), HATCHMATIK, SMALLTOWN DJS, etc. EH!
Top Billin - Big Dancin (zShare)
Them Jeans is at it again with this remix of the absolutely over the top amazing icelandic artpopband Sigur Ros.
Maybe not for the club but perfect for that time when your preparing to go out and you’re dancing around in your undies with a glass of cava in your hand (what, am I the only one?)
Tricky is back, no one could have missed that. We got our hands on a mix that’s only on the Australian release and produced by the dj crew Outlaws. The remix brings the tempo down a bit to easily fit into your clubplaylist. It’s also got a monster bassline and loads of druggy spaced out noises. What’s not to like?
“REMEMBER BOY YOU’RE A SUPERSTAR! BOOOM”
Tricky - Council Estate (Outlaws VIP Monster mix) (zShare)

Outlaws Mixtape - It’s Not French But It’s F*cking ‘Aving It… (zShare)
