I know, I know, it's been forever since we actually posted anything but at this point I'm only going to be blogging my favorite new tracks b/c there's simply no reason to re-post everything that's already being covered by the heavy hitters. Speaking of which, I saw the new Chiddy Bang track over at one of my favorite blogs, Dirty Mexican Lemonade, and I was just blown away. Granted, the

Ridgewood Social Club Presents D.I.Y.

2011-10-24T17:52:00.001-04:00

Finally, we're back! Sorry for the month-long hiatus, but I've been really busy working on D.I.Y. with Zach, and here it is, our first full-length mashup album as the RSC. On D.I.Y., we hope to resurrect a number of popular hits that have stood the test of time by mashing them with the best of today’s electronic dance and pop music, which virtually dominates today's music culture. I'll stop

How Do I Get a Pair of These Stunner Shades?

After hearing this new-ish TV in the Radio track, I stumbled across the music video on YouTube and was blown away by its cool visual concept....enjoy Sorry for the short post today but I'm super busy trying to get work done before heading out to see The National and Yo La Tengo at Merriweather Post Pavilion, happy Tuesday!

A Very Belated OtBP

Two great songs for you from The Stone Foxes. The first is their take on an Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Be," a song that has been covered by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, Pink Floyd, oh... and, um John Belushi. That's some pretty good company to be in. And you know what? This version takes the cake. The Stone Foxes do something none of the other acts could, inject a guitar sound

Ben G is Blowing Up!!!

2011-08-29T23:19:00.000-04:00

I obviously hafta start this post with a huge shout out to B-FAM for absolutely killing it this summer, but for everybody who isn't celebrating May Day yet, Ben G is a name that you'll soon come to know pretty well. I was first introduced to the South Carolina native through one of Audionugs' most kick ass readers (what up KUNI), and was instantly blown away by Ben G's uber summer party track

Mashup Your Labor Day Weekend

2011-08-28T19:41:00.002-04:00

Hopefully everyone is ok in the District post-Irene (sigh......first world problems), just wanted to quickly let you know that I'll be back at the Black Squirrel next Sunday night to mashup your Labor Day Weekend! In the meantime enjoy my newest mashup set, Welcome to the Apocamix..... Welcome to the Apocamix by Ridgewood Social Club

Moombahton Gets Massive

2011-08-23T08:50:00.016-04:00

In case you haven't noticed, MOOMBAHTON is blowing up! With a recent feature in SPIN Magazine - 'Hot New Sound: Moombahton Goes Boom!' - the genre has gone from Dave Nada's luck party foul to the electronic world's new big thing. Last Thursday I had the pleasure of spending the day at IDentity Festival in Bristow, VA. Seeing Modeselektor, Chuckie, Nervo, Le Castle Vania, Avicii, Rusko, and

Monday Mash: Ridgewood Social Club is Expanding

2011-08-22T01:09:00.000-04:00

Since launching the RSC mashup project earlier this year, I've always had a vision of expanding beyond an army of one, and that time has finally come! Basscamp and I are joining forces to take CAUTION to a whole new level - yes, a new Ridgewood Social Club mashup album is in the works, so brace yourself for a wild fall. In even better news (because two things are always better than one), Mark

Mind Your Moombah

2011-08-16T07:48:00.002-04:00

Merry Moombahton everyone! DJ Basscamp back again to give you your week's fix of this wild genre. Although only in its enfant stage, Moombahton has made a meteoric rise to fame around the world thanks to the work of an amazing (albeit few) group of producers. Below, I've included my newest summer mix, which highlights some of the most unique tracks that the genre has to offer. Beginning with my

Monday Mash: The Dance Floor Loves Avicii

2011-08-15T00:03:00.002-04:00

After the 21 year-old Swedish electro sensation blew up in the EDM scene last year, it was only natural for mashup producers (myself included) to take their scalpels to Avicii's inspirational and upbeat club bangers. I had the pleasure of dropping a few this weekend during two Ridgewood Social Club sets at Bourbon and Third Edition, and as you can tell from the picture above,

Monday Mash: This One's For the Ladies

2011-08-08T08:36:00.000-04:00

Every DJ has their own way of dealing with song requests, and while I'm not a huge fan (or a fan at all for that matter) of the Gaga/Perry/Britney tracks that dominate the radio waves, at the Ridgewood Social Club, I've got no problem spinning their devilish mashup counterparts. After, and I quote, sending chills through the spines of a few exotic dervishes, I figured that it was time to go

Beautician Gets A Moombah-Makeover

2011-08-02T06:32:00.001-04:00

DJ Basscamp here. I've joined up with Audionugs to bring you some periodic pulsing pleasure from the bowels of the electro world. I've been keeping a blog myself over at djbasscamp.com and every Monday I like to post a feature on Moombahton. My reasoning is two-fold: First, as a DC resident, I want to do everything in my power to promote this "local" genre, which has made a meteoric rise

Monday Mash: Open the Door to RSC

2011-08-01T09:20:00.001-04:00

Happy Monday bitches!!! If you had the pleasure of joining the Ridgewood Social Club this weekend at Third Edition and/or Public, thanks for all of the mashup love. I can't explain how awesome July has been as a DJ, and I'm really stoked to let ya'll know that I'll be back at the Black Squirrel this Saturday 8/6, and then Basscamp and I will be rolling out our Caution party at Bourbon on 8/

I'm Loving That Baltimore House Right Now

2011-07-28T08:17:00.001-04:00

Maybe it was all those months of tearing through The Wire dvds, but I am on a serious Bmore house binge right now. There's something really sexy about the combination of motown and house music, so enjoy the durrrrty remixes of Cee Lo, Montana, Santana (my personal fav) and that spoiled brat named Ke$ha...

2011-07-25T00:05:00.000-04:00

There's never been a better way to start a Monday than with Cookie Monster and the rest of the Sesame Street gang, so enjoy their rendition of the Beastie Boys' 'Sure Shot'. Sesame Street breaks it down from Wonderful Creative on Vimeo. On another note, I wanna thank DJ Basscamp and our gang of merry pranksters who all came out to party in full force on the first night of Operation

Behind the Turntables with DJ Eskay

2011-07-19T08:47:00.001-04:00

DJ Eskay and I have casually been friends for a while now, so I thought it would be good to sit down with him to discuss his new Discotecha Thursday parties at El Centro. Ben: So Adam (I can't really call people by their DJ names, for some reason it just comes off so strange), I know that you've really picked up in the last few months with regular gigs at Third Edition in Georgetown and

Monday Mash: We Want More Alanis!!!

2011-07-18T08:46:00.000-04:00

I hope everyone had a great time at the Squirrel this weekend - we tried to take it back to the 90's, and after checking out our weekend Twitter stream, it looks like everyone was really digging the Alanis Morissette mashups. It was kind of funny, one of my friends texted me after dropping Mighty Mike's 'Nothin Ironic' about how much she loved the B.O.B. vs. Alanis mash, so there was no

Behind The Turntables: Meet me at Basscamp

2011-07-14T08:34:00.001-04:00

So I don’t want to make this sound weird or anything, but Zach Gorman is my first real friend that I met over the Internet. It wasn’t creepy or anything (I am a blogger after all), and it’s not like either of us was responding to a random Craigslist ad. I had in fact been invited to a Facebook group that he created called Because Electro is my Drug and I Need my Fix, and to be honest, that

Aloe Black Makes Everything Sound Better

2011-07-12T08:54:00.001-04:00

Now that I'm DJ'ing a bit more often, I've had to spend a lot more time working on set lists and less time exploring the gamut of music available in the music blogosphere, so I've got to give full credit to infrequent Audionugs contributor Ike on finding the Aloe Blacc covers. While we've all obviously been jamming out to 'I Need a Dollar' since that awful HBO show came out last year,
