Meet Cyclist, a DJ / Electronic artists that had recently migrated from Winnipeg to Vancouver. Now picture yourself in a rave that’s happening in an empty subway tunnel in an early 80’s flashback, that should be about the right spot. This man has got a sonic identity that’s all own, blending the pulse of the club with swooping melodramatic atmospheres.

Forgot to post this bad boy last week, but lucky for us, there are 5 (five!) Tuesdays in May, and tonight, much like I did seven short days ago, will take to the tables at the ACE Hotel lobby bar again to spin jams for some hot hours. Check it out and come by between 8p-12a, give me a high five, and I'll buy you a drink. RAD STUFF!

And yes, you're seeing that song on the real as below. Grab it. It's still good.

You have nothing better to do on Thursday night. I'm making that a firm full-on fact right now, because you will instead, be present at the Free Williamsburg holiday party. It's got some backing love from SPIN Magazine as well as Newcastle Brown Ale. Our buddies The Hundred in the Hands are performing, and my grrrrll Whitney Fierce and I will be tag teaming on the 1's. And the 2's. Or on my laptop. So, you know... it's free, and rad, and you should probably go.

Want to go? RSVP here.

See you nerds Thursday.

Sometimes it's nice just to check in on buddy boy Yuksek, because every time we do, we somehow stumble across a piece of his pretty little pie that eventually, nay, almost immediately goes straight to the top of our currently most played tracks. And so goes the case today, with not one, but two, fine fixes; the first comes from an outfit we already hold dear, and the second bonus bumper, well, we're all gonna start learning about this lass...real hard.

The tight troupe of lads from Kings Cliffe, Fenech-Soler, have been hovering on tongues' tips for a solid set of time now, and since early 2009, they've released all of 3 official singles. 2011, however, sees them grab album cut, Demons, from their debut and toss it into the "on it's own output" arena. Well, with subsequent remixes, including one from the man we're heralding: Yuksek.

You can stream that after I ramble on wee bit more.

As your bonus beast-approved cut, gobble up the dude's fix of Anything Maria's Cook Him Up, which is a whole lot of words thrown together to form an artist name / song title that I have never heard of prior to earlier this week. Apparently AM is the next "it" one in France, or so sayeth these verbs and nouns: "Eclectique, polymorphe, la musique d'Anything MARIA s'oriente vers un songwriting POP, mutant et moderne, sans complexe ni frontière."

Admission: I cannot read or translate that, but I can spin this song and love it. Which I've already done a ton, including on this past week's Belly of the Beast on East Village Radio. Proof! Stick it through to the 2:52 mark when the soaring really starts to, well, soar.

Holy crap, I have no idea who these people are but sometimes names in random emails stick out at you...or more importantly. it's the track list of what's used in a mini-mix. That said, Phoebe Killdeer and Cedric Le Roux turn in a tidy 25 minute package that I've already played three times in a row. Not your typical Beastly tunes, but dear dude above, this hits on all the sweet spots right about now. It's like everything I never knew I wanted to hear today but am glad I did.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Wait, yes I do. In mid-October, some kid(s) we all know and love within our respective blogosphere and online networks were at an event to which the tweets began to fly that a "human mashup" was spinning the party. Said mash was a mix of ugh, Snooki, and well, me. If you know me IRL, then you know I don't resemble the pickle puckered dwarf in any way, shape or form, but c'est la vie, this encounter has spawned all sorts of net-worthy treats.

The first of which is a twitter account by the name of SNOOKI BEASTON. out of which reveal some of the funnier tweets this side of the Jersey Shore. Recently, an AIM name came to the surface in which conversations are all typed in caps, DUH.

The latest and greatest of all extremities of said virtual encounters is a minimix of verifiably fist-pump worthy tunes, lovingly dubbed the SNOOKI BEASTON BIG TINGS MIXXX. (track list after the player, with a super duper bonus cut after that)

Now let it be known, I have NO association with the online persona or presence of this evil little mastermind. But I do have an idea of who's behind it. No fun in revealing the secrets...so let's just drop this mix on you before we jet out the door for a night time GTL sesh.
