As we approach the halfway mark of the 2010s, music from the aughts is now considered “vintage”. Brought to you by LA’s premier vintage boutique, Tried and True Co., this mix is chock full of semi-old school jams. The tracklist includes iconic hip-hop hits like Mystikal‘s “Shake It Fast” and “Sunshine” by Lil’ Flip.

In 2014, music is all about aesthetic or having a distinct persona. The Selector Series is a another prime example of the recent wave of beatmakers pairing up with fashion brands to release killer tunes via the inner. Fuck a record deal!

Put this mix on at any party this summer; do it, I dare you. If people were wearing clothes before, they won’t be for very long.

There’s something about oldies that make people virtually lose their shit. Think about the last time “Pass the Courvoisier” came on in public. What did you do? That’s right….

(TurtleTip: If your friends are embarrassed by your random krumping outbursts, they’re problem not cool enough to be your friends.)

Thanks for tuning in to TGT this week. Keep on getting buck, and stay PLURsty peeps! <3

I got roughly an hour of sleep, cranked out two final projects, and took my car to the local Pep Boys. Safe to say, it’s time for some unwinding.

Thus, I sit here calmly sipping a Lagunitas limited release ale, listening to Dubbel Dutch’s dancehall fusion mix. And I must say, it perfectly compliments not only the egregious amount of hops swirly around in my craft brew, but the overarching necessity for relaxation.

It’s no secret that FADER Magazine is a staple of contemporary youth culture, especially music. If you’re not familiar with it, you’ve got some catching up to do.

Dubbel Dutch, however, is a much lesser known entity (ZOMG can’t you tell I’ve been putting my creative writing juices to use all day?!).

The Brooklyn artist has been described as “An accomplished producer of cosmic tone poems and club anthems from the abyss”.

His Caribbean-influenced mix a perfect example of one such “tone poem”. Packed with poppy dancehall tracks and stanzas of Jamaican pidgin, Dubbel Dutch establishes himself as a master of aestheticism, remaining loyal to the island jam #vibezz throughout.

Again, this mix is perfect for maxin’ and relaxin’. Throw some of this rudeboy flava on after a hard days work and you’ll be feeling like a Rasta in no time.

(TurtleTip: Be sure to snag the free download. Jah would want you to have it.)

Peace be unto you fools. Stay irie and PLURsty and shit. <3

Straight up, the Doc knows best. This LA-based beat selektah/ ill producer dropped a refreshing EP last year (it’s still up for free download on his Soundcloud, do yourself a favor and grab it) and has been putting out remixes, and mixes on the reg ever since.

The Too Future feature perfectly exemplifies LA dance music culture. The second track is a rework of Dr. Dre‘s “Xxplosive”, a clear shout out to his fellow medical practitioner and Angelino producer extraordinaire.

Rest assured you can count on Fresch to put the city on his back this summer with loads of sonic gems.

It’s rumored that the two M.D.s will use their specialized skill sets for a summer collab on a track to teach kids the dangers of marijuana. Because everyone knows that dope is for losers and you’ll never be successful if you try it…

(TurtleTip: I’m being serious okay? NOT EVEN ONCE. JUST SAY NO AND STUFF.)

Hope you all enjoyed the mix! Tune in next week for another edition of TGT!

Stay PLURsty baes <3

The mix was released for Spanish futurewear brand SHOOP Clothing in conjunction with Cloud Castle Radio. Self-constructed trap heaters, obscure Jersey club remixes, Promnite R&B cuts—you name it, Falcons has it.

Keep an ear out for remixes from a multitude of big names in the rising bass scene. STWO, DJ Hoodboi, GANZ, and Falcons himself all contribute reworks, each flip vastly different from all the others.

Play this mix for all your hypebeast friends when they come to your Spring/Summer collection release party. It’ll make them feel right at home. Maybe they’ll even do a spontaneous runway show for you because that’s how #swag this mix is.

(TurtleTip: Develop your own style, live a little. Pyrex only looks good on so many dudes all at once.)

Next week I’ll try to come up with some more relatable funnies. Leave a comment, should I switch back over to Bieber jokes? Or is that soooo January?? Idk…

~KEEP IT PLURsty~

BeauDamian hails from the Netherlands and is chief of Doggtown Records, a Dutch outfit consisting of Damian, GANZ, Guerilla Speakerz, and others.

The first half of the Too Future mix laden with uplifting lovetrap jawns, a few Smash Bros. samples, and some quasi-tribal 808 patterns. The back end contains a substantial amount of clubby Damian originals and reworks.

Shining moments include UK producer Melé‘s ghettotech track, “The Boogaloo” and Doggtown labelmate GANZ’s orchestral remix of “Tell Me”. He even drops a remix of Chance the Rapper‘s “Good Ass Intro”. The Amsterdam DJ is undoubtedly among the growing number of other Dutch artists to look out for this summer.

As soon as I started bumping this mix, I knew almost instantly I had to feature it for TGT. Damian evokes a diverse array of feelies without losing his overarching voice—the sign of a true selektah. He had me feelin’ some type of way for sure. In fact, I probably looked a little something like this…

(TurtleTip: Listening to loud music in the car and dancing like a fool is super liberating. So what if the cute girls next to you at the light laugh at you? They’re just #h8rs tbh.)

Hope you enjoy the mixerooni. Keep dancing and enjoying the shit out of life. It’s where it’s at.

Stay PLURsty, comrades!

That said, this week’s TGT features two TS‘s lesser known beat warlocks, LION KNGS.

This Run the Trap exclusive is textbook Team Supreme behavior: dreamy, R&B influenced trap music littered with tons of unreleased remixes and codeine-laced originals. Combining traditional chopped ‘n’ screwed techno trap heaters with tribal club rump shakers, LION KNGS achieves a new level of nasty.

Comprised of TK Kayembe of Boulder, CO and King Henry of LA, underground overlords bring a gritty soundscape to the table complimented by their crispy transitions and cinematic builds.

I imagine this mix sounds a lot like the type of music Lil’ Wayne would hear if he gave up on his prestigious career as a rock musician and copped a pair of paisley, red CDJs.

(TurtleTip: Know when to quit. That applies to everything… Looking at you Weezy.)

Enjoy the mix and hit the comment section letting us know what you think! Later Scouts!

Team Supreme epitomizes the LA beat scene. Renowned for having a forward-thinking approach to the art of mixing as well as being perhaps LA’s most prolific DJ crew, Team Supreme is home to some personal favorites like Djemba Djemba, Mr. Carmack, Great Dane, and Penthouse Penthouse.

Having a huge hand in the progression of the LA underground and EDM in general (think the recent rise of booty tech and Jersey/Baltimore club), footwork music serves as the basis for a variety of budding dance music genres. That said, the EDM community has a lot to thank DJ Rashad for, despite the fact that he passed way before his time.

Nevertheless, it’s tributes like this mix as well as the success of a new generation of artists that will ensure Rashad’s widespread influence is carried on.

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.”

Stay PLURsty, scouts!

Proud to say I signed my first record deal ever with Columbia Records! http://t.co/91dNhgzHvt
— DILLONSELLOUTFRANCIS (@DILLONFRANCIS) May 5, 2014

The album, originally expected to drop sometime this month, will be titled ‘Money Sucks, Friends Rule’ and is slated for a July release after being pushed back. Naturally, fans are divided on whether or not the record deal will be beneficial to Francis’ career and EDM as a whole. Dillon quickly took to Twitter to address the haters:

It’s insane that people are calling me a sell out and I haven’t even put a record out to compromise the integrity of my music

— DILLONSELLOUTFRANCIS (@DILLONFRANCIS) May 5, 2014

Known for his internet antics and his lighthearted persona, Francis poked fun at everyone throwing shade by changing his Twitter handle to “DILLONSELLOUTFRANCIS”. Take that EDM snobs! And to all you diehard Dillon fangirls out there, fret not. DJ Hanzel remains forever faithful…

In the record deal we wrote a clause that Columbia has to send me a 20 dollar gift card to @TacoBell the 5th of each month for 12 months

— DILLONSELLOUTFRANCIS (@DILLONFRANCIS) May 5, 2014

Leave a comment and let us know what you think about the record deal. How will it effect the scene and the upcoming album release?

We were thoroughly impressed with the release of Wuki’s Framework EP back in January. This mix is a continuation of the Denver-based artist’s booty bass crusade. Including contributions from other musicians spanning the booty movement spectrum.

Catch a fierce intro from My Nu Leng, a remix of Southern classic “Still Tippin” by Slim Thug, Skrillex‘s new deepstep track “F**k That”, and even a couple of joints from AZ native Ballast (big ups). If you’re not on that summer booty tip yet, best get with it!

Spring break may very will be overAF. But temperatures are on the rise and clothes are starting to become optional. What better way to set the backdrop for your summer festivities than with some cutting-edge bootytech #vibes? Look, I know I keep bringing up the word booty, but let’s be real….

(TurtleTip: A great man once said, “SPRING BREAK FO EVA Y’ALL!”)

Tune in again next week for more of the latest and greatest internet tunes, right here on TGT!

Chicago footwork/juke pioneer, DJ Rashad has been reported dead.

Born Rashad Harden, the rising music producer/DJ appears to have overdosed on an undisclosed narcotic.

An official report has yet to be released, but his passing has been confirmed on Twitter by some of his closest friends and collaborators including Chance the Rapper and DJ Godfather.

Music lost a legend today. And he was my friend. Love you DJ Rashad. RIP

— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) April 27, 2014

R.I.P. to my long time friend DJ Rashad. Great friend & producer. I loved all the music we released over the years. U will be missed!

— DJ Godfather (@DJ_Godfather) April 27, 2014

It’s a sad day for not only his friends and family, but for music as well. Rashad was a growing name in the underground music scene, and one of Chicago bass music’s most influential artists.

Rest easy, DJ Rashad. You will be missed.
