DJ Teridactyl

Over the weekend I DJ'd a wedding reception at Maggiano's, a swanky Italian restaurant in Woodland Hills. It was short and sweet, and everything went smoothly! Congrats to the happy couple, and a big thank you to them for trusting me to handle the music :)

A slightly off-beat choice for pick of the week, but if you've seen the movie, you'll know that the musical score for The Social Network helped make the movie what it is. I admit, I was already a fan of Trent Reznor's instrumental work with Nine Inch Nails, but his work here with Atticus, takes it to a whole other level. Sorry I couldn't post a preview of the entire album, but enjoy my favorite track from the album below!

In Motion

Am I the only one amazed that she's only 9 years old!? People are starting to call her "Baby Rihanna," and I can see why! Enjoy Willow Smith's just released video for her single "Whip My Hair".

I stumbled upon this album last week when I heard one of Sleigh Bells songs play on Jonesy's Jukebox here in LA on KROQ. They sound similar to Crystal Castles, although Sleigh Bells utilizes more guitars than synth. They're signed to M.I.A.'s N.E.E.T. label, and their riffs have even been sampled into her music. Sleigh Bells has managed to win me over with their debut albumTreats. What about you?

I realized that I haven't given much mention to Little Boots on this blog, and figured it was about time. Her debut album Hands, was released earlier this year in the States, and is a perfect meld of Electronic and Pop. Plus, you have to respect the fact that the girl can write and compose her own music!

Rye Rye garnered quite a bit of attention when she was the first artist to be signed to M.I.A.'s N.E.E.T. record label over two years. She's finally preparing to release her first full-length album, Go! Pop! Bang! next year, with "Sunshine" being promoted as the first single. It's a chill song with some sassy lyrics, check it out!

The follow-up to my first dance mix has arrived! I went with a theme for this one, can you guess what it is?

Rude Gurls (Continuous Dance Mix, Vol. 2) by DJ Teridactyl

One of the best DJ's to hit the dance music genre in recent years released a compilation mix album this week, and it does not disappoint! The album consists partly of remixed Kaskade tracks, as well as other musician's music, remixed by Kaskade himself, or others. All I can say is that some of what's on here is going into my setlists, ASAP!
