Upside of Down: House Mix Saturday: DJ Erok - The Cut / We In Cloudz - WKND

I have eclectic tastes, but I always enjoy a good beat. I've recently been inspired and prompted to post a new house mix, something I've never really done before. I've added house and electro tracks to my mixes when they fit, but this is the first time I recorded a full house/electro mix. Take a listen, and while you're at it listen to my DJ friend Nick Mourgue and his NYC house party crew WE IN CLOUDZ. Deep, funky, house and electro for your weekend!

Drift to Center - Eclectic EDM Mix by Sounds Defy Gravity

Last night I came across this fantastic mix by MIKE NOUVEAU - a Los Angeles based DJ and musician, and author behind the Sounds Defy Gravity music blog. When I mixes catch my attention, its because I either get drawn in by the first song or I click through the mix and scan for interesting music or mixing techniques. This mix immediately got my attention with a slightly glitchy downtempo trip hop beat that then increases and decreases tempo throughout the mix and wanders between different types of house and bass music. This mix is quite impressive - the music selection works so well together and remains interesting throughout, and the transitions are incredibly smooth. It's a great spring/summer mix that you can lounge to or get up and move to - very versatile listening that doesn't disappoint. Listen and download it here, and check out Sounds Defy Gravity for the tracklist:
