Great mix right here (Hardstyle)!

When I'm looking around for good music I check places like YouTube, SoundCloud and BeatPort.  This mix I found on youtube, and it's the kind of hardstyle that I could listen to ALL day.

This mix is a full Wasted Penguinz mix of the more melodic/Euphoric type of hardstyle.  The type that makes you want to kiss your hand and touch the lasers.

Do yourself a favor and listen to this.

00:10 Wasted Penguinz - Stay Alive

04:15 Wasted Penguinz - Circle of Life

09:00 Code Black & Wasted Penguinz - Your Moment 

13:54 Code Black & Wasted Penguinz - Activated

17:38 Wasted Penguinz - Play the Game

21:27 Wasted Penguinz - Crea Diem

26:05 Wasted Penguinz - Freedom is Me

31:25 Wasted Penguinz - Melancholia

Spinning Tonight

Twisted Tuesdays is a weekly EDM party that brings in the best local DJs.  I happen to be opening tonight.  I'm pretty excited as this is my first show in a long while.  I haven't performed in quite some time, so I am a bit nervous. 

I'm just going to jump on stage and rock face.  It's just what I do.  :D

Wish me luck!

TOTD: Pay Your Own Way (Original Mix) - Tantrum Desire

I know I know I know... You guys are like "FINALLY SOME NEW EDM!!!"  But hey, I will deliver... eventually.

So here we have a sick Drum and Bass track that rocks the bass with a bit of synth that throws you for a loop.  Just give it a listen and you'll love it.  :D

Da Beatport Mon...

Da youtube mon!

DJ's  This song has SICK breaks, don't mess with them, they really compliment the music.  If anything add some extra vocals while shearing away it's own to add some effect.

Cheers!

TOTD: Work Hard, Play Hard (Original Mix) - Tiësto Feat. Kay

Another Tiesto track is born here today!  I am here to tell you that this track is truly something.  Classified as electro house, but I believe it to be Electro house with some prog in it.  So therefore Progressive Electro House.

I'll let the music speak for itself, Tiësto is just that good. :]

Beatport. 'nuff said.

Youtube, because it's easy?

For the DJ's:  Tiesto has been releasing and endorsing a lot of good music.  Don't be afraid to play many of his tracks.  

Also!  There is a remix contest for this track.  I'm thinking of taking part in it.  I'll be going up against many other very talented DJs.  and this will be my first chance to remix a track.  This won't be the remixing that I go into audacity copy and paste all that jazz.  I'm talking the different parts on a turntable and cueing them up and completely remaking the song on the spot.

Tell me what you think about this track in the comments below, hopefully if I make a good remix I will post it in the blog!

Wish me luck!

TOTD: Hazard (Original Mix) - Leon B

Hard dance is a genre that is very popular in small places.  What I mean is, it's not like house where quite a few people can say: "I know this song" or "I know that artist".  Hard dance tends to feed itself to a specific audience.  Most of these members know how to do a type of dance that goes well with the music.  Two examples of the dancing are the Melbourne Shuffle and Jumpstyle.  Both of these dances work well with the hard dance genre, or if you want to call it: Hardstyle.

This track, Hazard has topped beatport for a while, and it's a sweet track.  I'm going to share it with you guys.

Beatport for you high quality DJing needs!

No youtube on this one, instead this website will let you listen to it.

For the DJs:  most of you won't have to worry about mixing music like this because like I said, fans of it are few far and in between.  But when you have to, it might be hard.  The beat along with the bass in this music can be tricky, and can actually make it feel like a 5 beat per measure track every once in a while.  This is a kind of song that you mix in at the beginning and out at the end.  Don't try and mix this with most regular house, if anything use it with prog house because they tend to have the same buildup pattern.

Cheers

New Blog address

So just an FYI to all you followers.  This blog will no longer be a blogspot adress.  That's right! I bought a domain name and I will be using it here very soon.  Possibly in the next week.  The domain name currently holds my website that I never use, so I'll just have it on my blog.  It's www.djbasscadet.com

Hope you guys can follow me there!

Cheers

PS:  Here is a video of Tiesto's concert that I went to in Kansas City this year.
