On The Wheels Of Steel

To kick off this blog:

I'm gonna use this blog to spread new music/stuff you may not have heard of (probably a lot of the stuff), holler at friends with stuff coming out, and most importantly, hype myself up. I'm going to try to keep it to stuff you should listen to, and keep out stuff that's just there because it's weird and shows that I know more about post-minimal-breakbeat music from Sweden than you do (less art house music in the basement). That said, I'm gonna try to find fresh stuff you won't find on itunes top 100 and bring you the best of other blogs. When I can, I'm gonna try to give you a youtube link, and a download link.

I'm DJ Chris BP, BPM, or BP on the wheels of steel (please hire me). Check out some tracks on the myspace page (new one in the works): http://www.myspace.com/onlydjbpm

But who really cares. More music.

My genre of the day: 2-Step Garage

What you need to be listening to:

Meddle (AC Slater & DJ Skeet Skeet Remix feat. GoldieLocks) - Little Boots
This has been circulating the blogs, but since I'm just kicking it off, I figured I'd include it in mine. Tight electro-grime beat with GoldieLocks (see pic) dropping her signature flow on the track.

Little Bit (AutoErotique Bootleg Remix) - Lykke Li
If you don't have the original though, get it. I went searching for a remix with a little more energy and came up with this electro mix of the song.

What You Think About It (DJ Pyro Mix) - Lil Wayne ft. Kayne West
I got this little mashup by way of my boy Otega (holler). Adds some house electro flair to weezy and kanyeezy.

Provider (GoldieLocks N.E.R.D. Refix) - GoldieLocks
More of the girl from Croydon laying it down over this N.E.R.D. tune. Couldn't find a YouTube link, but just imagine Provider by N.E.R.D. as sung by GoldieLocks. Or you could just not be lazy, take my word for it, and download it.

Also, holler at my boy ZP Boy Wonder out of NYC who just dropped his first mixtape. Check out his facebook/myspace for some info and some funny vids.
