We’ve been so busy with our upcoming festival season, we forgot to release music! To make up for it, we’re giving away this wonderful EP of dark downtempo and ambient tunes by Teig (a.k.a Derek Roberts) — an Atlanta native currently residing in Chicago who has spent most of his life involved with music. His latest release, Chord Collection One is a free digital release for all to enjoy.

Following in last month’s format, here’s another hour-long mix of high-energy club tunes. This set was spun live by R_Garcia at the ATL Paint Party, which was completely insane! In the coming months, we will be highlighting more talent from the ATL with mixtapes, interviews,  in-studio performances and special releases. We’re excited to “bring it on home” for 2012, and we’ve got some awesome things on tap!

Track List:

1. Deadmau5 – Where’s my Keys?
2. Avicii – Levels (Instrumental Version)
3. Aphex Twin – Windowlicker (Albin Myers Bootleg Remix)
4. Foster the People – Pumped up Kicks (ELIM Remix)
5. Orbital – Wonky
6. Daft Punk – Robot Rock (Cold Blank Mix)
7. Justice – Civilization (Lazrtag Bootleg Remix)
8. Mr. Oizo – Flat Beat
9. Sharaab – Mathabhanga (Sonny Hancock Mix)

Here’s a video of the ATL Paint Party, at which R_Garcia dropped a 90-minute DJ set. Beware, this video is NSFW and features gobs of filthy bass and psychedelic colors. Also included are brief clips of TRICIL and Mayhem‘s sets, which were also burners!

Here’s an hour-long mix of dirty club bangers from one of Atlanta’s most formidable (and nicest) DJ’s: Respire.
