Diplo teamed up with an up and coming Mad Decent producer by the name of Swick. Keep It Gully is a Moombahton party monster of a track. Usually I’m not a huge fan of Moombahton but I do like to dabble every so often. I love the bouncy bass line in this one, it is truly addicting. Enjoy a little bounce for your humpday routine.
Flosstradamus is back with their second Banned mixtape. This is a dream come true for any Trap fan. The duo that is Flosstradamus easily sit atop the list of best Trap producers right now. In my list of 10 best trap songs of 2012, Flosstradamus took two of the top 5 spots, and probably could have taken more. A-trak signed the duo to his Fools Gold label and they’ve also worked with Diplo’s Mad Decent label. Just in time for the weekend, over an hour of filthy Trap and Hip-Hop.
Below are both the first Banned Mixtape and the most recent release Banned II.
Michael Woods and Chris Lake recently producer an anthem titled Black Thong, and I love the way it works with the classic from David Guetta and Afrojack Toyfriend.
RL Grime aka Clockwork aka Henry Steinway is not so quietly crushing the scene with his massive trap remix of Benny Benassi’s classic track Satisfaction. It is a fresh trap take on what is quite possibly the most remixed song ever.
The Satisfaction remix is dope, no doubt. But I think his remix of Look At Me Now and his original production Flood are honestly better.
The hollow sounding beat RL Grime puts with Look At Me Now just smashes, not to mention he makes the best edit of the song ever by taking fucking Chris Brown’s verse out. Good riddance. A must download- enjoy!
Hey Ma is a timeless classic, Cam’ron and Juelz Santana at their finest. This remix is slowed down, screwed up, whatever you wanna call it. If you have some syrup- this song would make a nice compliment.
RL Grime’s original production Flood is just mean, nasty bass line and just enough of a dope little lyric accompanying trap style high hats. One of my new favorite songs out there- definitely snag this one its a beast.
Hope you guys enjoy this mix from yours truly, BigBird, as much as I’ve enjoyed working on it. Just a collection of some of my favorite songs from this past year, and a couple newer tracks I couldn’t resist. Don’t hesitate to share any comments, all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Starting off, a brand new collaboration from Diplo and Skrillex. I’m not a huge fan of bro-step or of Skrillex in general, in fact those who know me know that I hate on Skrillex like its my job. However, when he teams up with Diplo to do a Moombahton track- I bite my tounge. Love this one- great sample from DJ Shadow’s Organ Donor, and a nasty drop to top it off.
Next up- the obligatory Dutch House section of all my posts.
Dada Life’s new single, Happy Violence, finally makes me appreciate Chris Brown’s work. Just kidding. Violence is bad, mmmkay? But this track is bad-ass. Go bananas.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. What happens in Chuckie’s studio, leaves quickly and goes right into my eardrums. This song isn’t the most impressive thing I’ve heard come out of said studio, but live, no doubt the crowd goes ape-shit on that drop.
What Happens in Vegas (Club Mix) – Chuckie ft. Gregor Salto
I first heard this remix from Laidback Luke at USC 14 a few months back, I distinctly remember turning to my friend Rich and saying, “what the fuck is this!” as we both shook our faces onto the floor. Rich then heard Kaskade drop it at Identity Festival last week. Banger alert.
Speak Up (Instrumental Mix)- Laidback Luke ft Wynter Gordon
After the high-energy dutch house from Dada Life, Chuckie and Laidback, time for something a little more relaxed to wind down. This fantastic edit of the Nervo twins’ We’re All No One from Steve Aoki, Afrojack and Cheyenne Giles Is anyone else just loving these collabo’s from Aoki and Afrojack? Keep em comin’ gents!
