Song Of The Day: RAC - Hollywood Feat. Penguin Prison (Cassian Remix)

Australian producer Cassian just released an incredible house remix of "Hollywood," RAC's original track from this summer featuring Penguin Prison on Mountain Dew's record label Green Label Sound. This remix comes on the heels of two earlier remixes of "Hollywood" by The Magician, and Felix Da Housecat earlier this year.

Cassian released a 2-track EP The Love Cuts this past June featuring the tracks "I Love It," and "Reach For Love," and several other hard-hitting remixes of tracks by Hot Chip, Bag Raiders, Two Door Cinema Club, as well as various other artists.  Cassian is currently touring internationally with an upcoming Halloween show in Sydney, Australia, two shows in Sao Paulo, Brazil and a show in Louisville, Kentucky at the end of the month.

November - December 2012 Upcoming EDM Events for NYC

Oktoberfest may have to an end, but the real party is just around the corner. Even after such an impressive October lineup of shows, NYC is really getting ready to throw down between now and the biggest party of all, New Years Eve 2012! This city is no stranger to a good time, but the sheer number of incredible bands, DJs, producers and artists descending on us over such a short period of time could only mean the End of Days.

From the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival to Boys Noize, The Magician to Minnesota, Dan Deacon to DJ Shadow, Paper Diamond to Pretty Lights, and Squarepusher to Sound Tribe Sector 9, I cannot remember the last time I saw a more exciting concert schedule for the beginning of Winter in NYC. So here is a comprehensive list of every great show you're going to want to attend in November and December 2012.*

New Mixtape: The Magician - Magic Tape Twenty Six

The Magician has just released his 26th Magic Tape, and it's full of all the funky music we've come to expect from him. After a brief hiatus this Summer, The Magician is back to releasing his monthly mixtape series. For those of you in New York, The Magician will be performing at (le) poisson rouge on Saturday, November 3rd with Mighty Mouse and JDH & Dave P. Ticket are available here.

Fall Tour Announcement: The Magician

The Belgian nu-disco sensation the Magician has recently announced a brief fall tour hitting four major U.S. cities. Beginning with a Halloween show in Miami at the Electric Pickle, The Magician will then be heading to Voyeur in Philadelphia, PA on November 1st, The Mid in Chicago, IL on November 2nd, and finally (le) poisson rouge in New York, NY on Saturday, November 3rd. This tour is highly anticipated as the Magician cancelled the last leg of his Summer tour in New York City for an undisclosed emergency. Peter (Yuksek) & The Magician's recent EP Memory took off this past summer. And who can forget The Magician's chart-topping 2011 remix of Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers."

Peter & The Magician - "Memory" (Original Mix)


Lykke Li - "I Follow Rivers" (The Magician Remix)


Having not seen The Magician perform since last Halloween at the Public Assembly, and having missed his cancelled performance this past summer, I am certainly looking forward to seeing him again this Fall at (le) poisson rouge. Tickets for that show are available here.

Song Of The Day - Mark Ronson - Record Collection (Perseus Remix)

Today's song of the day comes from Perseus, remixing the song, "Record Collection," off mark ronson and the business intl's album, Record Collection. I wasn't able to find out a whole lot about the artist, Perseus, other than his SoundCloud page, but I have posted some of his other remixes that I'm quite fond of. His remix of New Life by Jeremy Glenn was prominently featured on The Magician's Magic Tape Twelve, and who in their right mind doesn't like Grum?

The Magician: Magic Tape Fourteen

Yesterday, the Magician, aka Stephen Fasano, released his fourteenth installment of his recurring Magic Tape mixtape series, available free for download here. This has become one of my favorite monthly mixtapes, regularly incorporating elements of Nu-Disco, House, Synthpop, and Funk with all sorts of musical styles. It is a very light-hearted, feel good experience from start to finish.

The Magician will be performing a special Halloween show, live at the JDH & Dave P. Though I've yet to pick out a costume, you can certainly expect to see me there.
