Second, last week MixRev favorite KLEVER, we jock the dude too much but it’s because of his greatness, posted a new Mix in honor of a new ATL club night TOPLESS! KLEV always kills it so go grab the mix now and jump on your bed and start a pillow fight with your girls!

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD!

Last, SRC Records, home to some of the coolest Record people ever, has signed ASHER ROTH, another great white hope for Hip-Hop. Now I am not going to lie, I haven’t heard too many of this kids tunes but I like it and some blogs I trust have been buzzing about it. So due to the fact I love Steve and the rest of his crew, I know this Suburban Rap could be the next Hype to bring some hopeful change to the boring Mainstream game! The best part is yet to come, DJ Drama and Cannon have just released a mixtape titled “ASHER ROTH: The Greenhouse Effect.” Not sure which green they are talking about but it’s free so give a spin and take my advice. Don’t sleep on this!

As for now this will be all my free albums and mixes for the week. But I will have another post later with my Tuesday picks to get and some other new LEAKS floating around the net! Check it yo! I am out! Look out for Reed’s dope post above to come!

Viva el NOVA!

New Music NINdays!

May 05th, 2008 | Category: Album Reviews, Music

So I felt like adding to the New Music Monday’s gig by adding my post on something new and free to download.

This morning Trent Reznor decided to celebrate Cinco De Mayo be giving us his latest Nine Inch Nails album, THE SLIP. This one is a non-instrumental record. I like that. The amazing thing is you can dowload it for free and in the format and sound quality you choose. Ah Trent you are beginning to amaze me again.

I have already given it a spin in iTunes and it has some good tunes, especially for all you remixers out there!

So for all you Dance DJs, Rockers or Music Fans click on the pic below and just download it. It’s free. What more could you ask for.

It’s all about the Hamiltons baby!

December 18th, 2007 | Category: Album Reviews, Music, News

Not the most clever tittle but hey, the year is ending and my mind is out of it!

So to finish off the year that was 2007 and pretty much MixRevolution’s first complete year in action, we reached out to many of our friends and asked them to send us their Top 10 albums and/or single of 2007.

For me I find it only fitting that the first two list come courtesy of some close friends of mine, Shala Esquire of Qualo and JustinJay (The DJ to break in ‘08).

Shala is a member of Chicago’s most infamous undeground group Qualo. They are Chicago’s hype masters! With appearances on CNN defending Hip Hop and representing the new Chicago sound all over the US, Shala is one of the men behind Chi Towns new musical movement. So here is his list of favorite albums that came out in 2007:

1.Graduation- Kanye West
2.American Gangster- Jay Z
3.Make Sure They See My Face- Kenna
4.Finding Forever- Common
5.The GetBack- Little Brother
6.Kala- M.I.A.
7.The Cool- Lupe Fiasco
8. The Big Doe Rehab- Ghostface Killah
9.Fancy Footwork- Chromeo
10.As I Am- Alicia Keys

If you want to hear more about THE MOVEMENT he is behind in the Chi then go download Shala’s latest mix for FADER magazine HERE.

On a different note, JustinJay, is sort of part of the MixRevolution.com family, he helps with some of our behind the scenes junk you all don’t care about. But, on the side he has been mixing it up for over 10 years and has been helping promote raves in the LA area for over 15 years. He loves spinning the Indie/ElectroClash sound that is killing LA right now Most recently though, he was the winner of Beatport’s “Open for Felix Da Housecat” contest. he was flown out to NYC and open for the Master at Club Rebel back in November. Click here to read more. Here were his favorite albums of ‘07, even though one was released in ‘06. I’ll let it slide.

1. lcd soundsystem - sound of silver
2. Goose - Bring it On
3. The Chemical Brothers - We Are the Night
4. Justice - Cross
5. !!! - Myth Takes
6. Radiohead - In Rainbows
7. Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future
8. Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City
9. CSS - Cansei De Ser Sexy
10. The Black Ghost- Self Titled

Head on over to JustinJayMusic.com and download some of his latest mixes including his set from Rebel.

Well there will be more lists to come. So enjoy, check out new music and spin some dope tracks this Holiday Season. Peace!
