Check out some his tunes below:

He will also be playing in Los Angeles, May 18th at Muevelo.

Watch this personal video from Pavo inviting y’all kids to participate.

Did you catch them in Miami? Watch the video to see if you can find yourself (or wish desperately that you had gone!)

Next week they are doing 3 shows at The Shrine. May 17th tickets still on sale, other 2 days are sold out. Or just head out to Vegas and catch them at Marquee on the 20th. But if you see them in LA, use your handy dandy smartphone to record the journey.

Born in the Windy City, West from his current New York residence, Brenmar will be spinning at VERSUS this Thursday with a perfect fusion of hip hop, R&B, juke, and silky, drummy, house. House music that is perfect to step to, to vibe to, true “club music for the present.” Opening will be our good buddies from the Planet Rock trio and The KiD so get there early for a lovely summer night full of cold beer and smokin’ beats.

A new remix of the crew love track by Drake. filled with bass and mellow vibes.

Similar to the Shlohmo remix, this track is mostly low end heavy bass and mellow spaced out tunes.

A well constructed mashup of the classic hip hop tracks we know and love; re-drummed a bit to give an east coast vibe.

Dubstep track from our friend Aris Emprex. Always making complex dubstep tunes for us to enjoy.

There seems to be a new trend to mix rave style synths and samples with trap drum beats. The trap style is receiving mad support from R.L. Grime, Flosstradamus, and even Diplo. This track is another great example of the style. Solid Track!

New remix by @llen Wrench, A great producer making some of the hardest Dubstep. A must have for your Dubstep collection.

Man oh man it’s been a rough week, eh kids?  MCA, Maurice Sendak AND Vidal Sassoon all passed away, and I just think we need a big fat pick me up to chase the bad day blues away.  I’ve got this AMAZING mixtape by Beateaz, which was actually made FOR Danceism Radio back in Decemeber. Welp, Danceism Radio kind of fizzled, and this fantastic LIVE mix went tragically under-promoted/underplayed.

I was stuck in Obama-induced Traffic this morning for nearly two hours, and I must say, if I hadn’t found this mixtape on a CD in my center console… y’all woulda seen me all over the news for some very very violent acts.  Some of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE tracks are on here, and you can grab it FREE!!

And one more for the road… a new original track from a personal favorite, Girl X:

This. Track. OH WOW. Girl X brings a sexy flair to Drum and Bass, taking me back HARD to the old school EDM I used to live for.  Sounds like the theme song for a super hot super hero bitch (or maybe a villian? Who cares, if she’s in latex WE ALL WIN, am I right?) This track will be available on Viper Recordings May 28, so mark your calendars!! FOLLOW GIRL X  // FACEBOOK GIRL X

RL Grime‘s set at April 12′s Versus blew my mind a little bit. Circling hi-hat triplets versus booming, undulating bass of Dirty South hiphop makes music that you can dance to at three speeds. I like slowest one, when the music feels like bursts of hot, sweet Southern air. The following night, Rizzla and Nguzunguzu did the same thing at Los Globos, and I knew something was up. Listen to this mix and remember that slow groove.

New tunes this month!  Wowowowow.  Fuck the intros, let’s get into it.

Santigold’s newest album is amazing from front to back, but this Diplo produced tune keeps it coming hard. She’s “so damn cold”.

If you haven’t heard of Mykki Blanco, he she is a transvestite Harlem based MC that tears up the mic.  Get over your initial shock that she’s completely upsetting the heterosexual hierarchy of Hip Hop, and you’ll see that Blanco’s got too much talent to be overlooked… especially when teaming up with DJ/Producer Brenmar, who absolutely murders it on the beat.  Get Wavvy.

More after the Jump

Homies Leeboy and Marvel the Gr8 just put out a BIG single, titled “Get it”.  Leeboy, formerly the child star on All That, is all grown up, uncensored and always hilarious.  Good vibes on this one all day.  Shout out to J. Hyphen and Random Citizens on the beat.

Too much hip hop for you already?  Alright, lets get into it.  A-trak’s remix of Surkin’s “Never Let Go” is massive.  Yet again, Trizzy proves how much of a veteran to the game he is, by giving us something unusual, and breaking expectations of what the “A-trak sound” is.  At the same time, he retains his familiar electropop synth progressions, and hip hop influenced samples.  I can’t wait to hear his new Justice remix (coming out soon).

My boys, Ian and Dan, aka gLAdiator, just put out a remix of Butterbox’s “Human” that I’ve been lovin recently.  Moombahton and Hip-Hop fusion is what these boys specialize in, and this track makes that abundantly clear.

Sinjin Hawke has recently become one of my favorite producers.  His sound is so unique that I wouldn’t even know how to genre-fy him.  Most would categorize him with names like Flosstradamus, Lunice, or Hudson Mohawke, but even that doesn’t give a full picture of the depth of his sound.  Listen to his “The Lights” EP and you will be ENlightend.

The homie Cavalry just turned me on to Modeselektor’s new track, “Berlin”.  Needless to say, I’ve been hooked.  Such good vibes from this German duo.  They never cease to impress.

Flux Pavillion just put out a remix EP for his new “DayDreamer” single feat. Example.  Coming in at number one, in my opinion, is Jack Beats.  You can certainly hear the classic Jack Beats sound in the track, but it also has a very different composition than most of their material.  Still, the synth at the drop is something I’ve never heard before.  So crunchy.

Lastly, a quick update on my new material since I last posted.  Got 2 free remixes for you.  Both featuring my boy Marvel the Gr8.  I also premiered my debut music video for “Denzel Washington” off #RPC2 last week.

Enjoy.

All too often EDM producing and DJing is considered to be a man’s game, but come Thursday that notion will be all but forgotten. This week’s Versus is all about the ladies, with our headliner, trapstep temptress Tamara Sky showing us that women can throw down just as hard as their male counterparts and look good while they do it. Opening for her will be deep house hottie and Bromance member, Louisahhh. Get there early and pay homage to the lovely ladies of EDM!
