Summer is upon us, and even though in the 206 it doesn’t feel like it, I still like to jam out under cloudy skies like it’s 75 degrees and sunny.
Here are some helpful suggestions on what to jam to:
Skrillex:
Sonny Moore, DJ of Skrillex, is easily one of the most impressive electrohouse/ dubstep DJ’s of our time. His beats make you want to move, smile, and shudder all at the same time. Check out his album, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, if you want to drive fast.
My favorite songs of his are: “With You, Friends (Long Drive),” and Cinema by Benni Benassi (Skrillex Remix).
Notorious Lights:
DJ LJC mixed two of my favorite artists and came out with not one but two albums that make me so warm and happy inside. Combining Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie) and Pretty Lights is no easy feat, however he does it flawlessly.

The Beatles:
Obviously, everyone has heard of The Beatles, and if you haven’t, then you aren’t a real person. (But seriously, if you haven’t comment below. We need to chat.) Anyway, The Beatles are some of the greatest artists to ever walk this planet and their music will always be relevant.
Lately, I’ve been jamming out to their album Let it Be, but of course everything else by them is awesome as well. You should also check out the live videos of them on youtube, because Ringo Star is easily the funniest drummer that has ever walked this planet.
Bon Iver:
Bon Iver’s new album is up on NPR’s website for first listening, and it’s so calming and creative. I have listened to it at least five or six times through and it still gives me chills.
Check out the new album here. Some of the other songs that I love to listen to by Bon Iver are: Blood Bank, Woods, Skinny Love, and Wisconsin.
Oldies:
I’ve also been jamming to the Oldies station here in Seattle, WA. The station is 95.7 and if you’re not from around here, you can find it on the “I Heart Radio” app or streaming live online at www.oldiesseattle.com
Some of my favorite songs from the oldies are:
Spinning Wheel by Blood Sweat and Tears
Joy to the World by Three Dog Night
Here’s the thing about dubstep, you have to actively listen to enjoy it. You have the like the beat carry you or else it’s going to sound really annoying or busy or scary. You have to give it your all, and if you do, it will blow your mind.

Best Drop Ever.
Slats, Slats, slats is my favorite
The most perfect song for Roadies.
I really like the artist who follows and I tend to talk about each of his news,
Alfiya Glow
There is something addictive about this style of dance music that makes you want to shuffle until your legs fall off. Today we have a bounce banger straight out of U.S.A from Andrea Rubino.
This music has every main ingredient to be considered an anthem: a bitchin’ bass-line to make the booty bounce, along with a breakdown that’ll have grandma needing a hip replacement. That just screams ‘anthem.’ Andrea Rubino haS really set the bar with this one, so put on your best shuffling shoes, turn up the volume, and dance the day away! this track is out on Beatport, so make sure to get your copy now!
I came across today’s new music discovery several weeks ago and I have been waiting for the perfect time to feature it on the blog… and that time is now. Dj Ak is a Dj formation that delivers songs that are filled with impeccable sounds, driving audio, massive hooks and huge choruses. What I love about Dj Ak is how this Dj is able to draw upon the many influences to the next level.
See you guys next update!
If you don’t know what EDM stands for, let me fill you in.
Electronic dance music (EDM) is an ever-evolving plethora of named genres, styles and sub-styles. With many types of dance music, the number of beats per minute (BPM) helps define a separation between genres. Some genres, such as Techno, House, Trance, Electro, Hardstyle, breakbeat, drum and bass are primarily intended to promote dancing which is what you’ll hear at our EDM events.
At FLUXX, EDM stands for a mix of some of the biggest electronic house DJ’s, the best sound and lighting system of any venue in San Diego and a sexy crowd that you’ve grown to expect from us at FLUXX.
Dress code is a little more relaxed than our regular Friday and Saturday nights so feel free to put on your dancing shoes on and skinny jeans.
Tickets for these shows are always available on our website http://www.fluxxsd.com or through http://www.eventvibe.com
Bottle service is recommended for these shows.
Think about it, if you’re spending $40 on a ticket and $60 on drinks, that’s already $100 a person. Might as well have everyone in your group chip in $100 and you can get special seating at one of our VIP tables as well as a bottle of liquor or two (depending on how many are in your group).
Hit me up for pricing, info and reservations.
Also, check out the upcoming EDM line up at FLUXX…it’s going to be a good summer for all you EDM fans 😉
