DJ OB-ONE & DJ Fashen are two of the top clubs DJs out today. OB-ONE is based out of Vegas and kills it all over the southwest, while Fashen has been Phoenix’s top DJ for 20 years and plays everywhere from Montreal to LA then Hong Kong. Anyknow these two guys got together to release “Nu Rave Vol. 1″ which is a collection of your favorite blog house/club/rave songs that are killing it now and bring them together for a seemless mix. Its good, download it.

08 In The HOOOUUUSE!!!

Written By : Rome // Comments (0)

This is my “best of ‘08″ music edition.

I mean it was a really good year for alot of people, not so good for others.

Musically speaking Kanye took a super risk, and depending on your take of the album it could be deemed as successful or not. Is they jury still out? Not for me, I think the album is dope and will continue to think so for years. My 9 year old niece was singing Street Lights on XMAS day and it was a beautiful thing.

Shout out to Black Milk, Elzhi, Shawn Jackson, Blu & Exile, Wayne, Jeezy, Bussa Bus and a host of other people I’m forgetting that put out a bunch of quality music.

2008 was a HUGE year for dance music as well. Was there anything bigger than the Day N Night remix?

DC did it big with Nadastrom and Tittsworth having worldwide success, and locally with parties such as Nouveau Riche, Blisspop, and Sorted going strong and getting stronger.

Everyone’s musical tastes are different, including mine. At the same time I’m not really a critical person so I’m not gonna say who sucked, who is going to suck in ‘09 or any of that stuff. I use EVERY type of music for inspiration whether its a mix from Cosmo Baker, a video from The Death Set or Ninja Sonik, or the latest Authentic Shit podcast.

As a general rule it seemed that people stepped their game up this year, and ‘09 is going to only be better. Fire up the ableton, logic or MPC and get it crackn!

Free My Mind

Written By : Rome // Comments (6)

Yo.

I need everyone’s opinion on this song (that means leave comments for some of you smart dumb cats). I “executive produced” (found the beat/it was a favorite of mine, etc.) this single for a mixtape I am hosting with The Paxtons, a dope group out of DC by way of Chicago.

The Paxtons - Free My Mind 09

and if you grew up on the west coast the beat should be familiar
