Everyone knows about the horrible licensing flukes that can come out of video game franchises; you can look at any cartoon, and almost all movies based off videos games and be certain that it’ll probably suck. Today I have something to share with you that sucks just as much as the Super Mario Show and the movie, although I must say that John Leguizamo makes a fine Luigi.
Back in ‘93 Nintendo of Japan got Ambassadors of Funk to create an atrocious but awesomely nostalgic, inaccurate, and laughable sampler based electro hip hop album under the pseudonym, MC Mario. It’s terrible, but if you haven’t heard this shit yet than you owe to yourself to download these tracks and don’t worry, I won’t be sad at you for deleting it from iTunes after you play it.
Go on, right click these, I dare you.

30hz

Remember a few months ago when you friend sent you that Burial CD and you were like “holy balls dubstep is sweet! no one could ever come close to this?” Well, get a new pair of underwear ready, because 30hz will make you pee yourself. While the album is far from straight dubstep (more “tech-funk” as the label likes to call it), “Mutate” will hit all your buttons sequentially.
James Grinzburg, the dude behind the project, just released his debut album with the moniker a few months ago. Electric Sheep reminds me a little of what Entroducing… did to me the first time I heard it, although in a very different way. Grinzburg’s sense of idiosyncratic ryhthm and penchant for weirdly beautiful samples has really turned me on to the techno/house/breakbeat family. Hopefully it’ll do the same to you, dear reader.

Hi everyone! Kyle here. I hope you enjoyed Ben’s 30Hz post and the 30Hz track but I feel that you need a second track of dubsteppy goodness! One of my favorites from the album:
30Hz- Dissosociate

This week is final exams week at my university and If you’re in the same boat as me; this song goes out to people like us. People who wish they could be playing Wii instead of studying Communication Theory.
A lot of times when I’m studying I listen to music and you could say that’s true for a lot of students. However, the one particular genre of music I listen to the most is instrumental because often times I find vocals to be distracting. One particular artist that I’ve been listening to lately would have to be British DJ and producer, Dave Tipper. Tipper’s nu breakbeat and ambient workings are phenomenal and the particular song I’m sharing with you seems to have excellent tempo and energy for what I’m studying so hopefully it fits whatever you’re working on.

music: a short lesson in electro
It’s been fun to watch the evolution of electro, hasn’t it? The word ‘electro’ started out as such an odd creature, no one was sure quite exactly what it meant. To some, electro meant anything with synthesizers (i.e. electro-rock). To others, electro meant the more avant garde side of dance music, with harder and heavier elements. In the end, it became neither. I feel a lynching coming on, but to me electro has become the ‘indie’ of electronic music – you’ll find the most obscure samples in it, you’ll hear the most innovative things the scene has to offer, and you’ll hear good music that your average candy kid or gamer won’t. And yes, that makes the whole genre seem quite pretentious to me; but why else would I like it so much?
That being said, when you go looking for electro; you’re reaching into a grab bag of genres. You never really know what you’re going to get. It’s fun when you get a few songs that you can group into their very own special category. Today’s episode is brought to you by pounding, driving and grinding beats mixed with soaring, easy to remember melodies! Shake your groove thangs all the way into the weekend with these tracks.
