The Billboard Music Awards were last night for the second time since 2007, when it went dormant until returning last year. The show was eh to me, just another complete over-exposure to how much EDM has taken over the pop scene. I was flipping back-and-forth between this and a guilty pleasure of mine, Jerseylicious.





I was surprised to see Wiz Khalifa win Top New Artist over Foster The People, Scotty Mcreery, Big Sean, and Bad Meets Evil (why were they even nominated?). Looks like Wiz has been letting his fiance, Amber Rose, get in on his munchies because it seemed like she was carrying some extra weight and I’m not talking about whats in Wiz’s tour bus. She is still fine as wine though.


Adele continuing to show what an absolute BEAST not only she is, but her album 21 is and that it STILL shows no signs of slowing down as it creeps its way to Diamond status. She would be the nights top winner with 12 awards.


The guys in the animal print pants that are out of control, LMFAO, would take the runner-up spot with 6 awards. I still just cannot believe that these fucking guys, the “I Am Not A Whore” guys we use to play in 2008 at Saturday/Thursday Phase 2, are on an ARENA tour right, not some House of Blues or Hard Rock Live tour, but in ARENAS, cleaning up awards shows, and show no sign of stopping anytime soon. I personally wish they would get back to some remixing like they use to do because anytime you use to see an LMFAO remix it was sure to be some fire. What I want to know is, how soon until we see Red Foo break off and go on a solo career? He is clearly the star of the Duo so it is bound to happen sooner or later.


More than half of the performances at the show were AWFUL. Whoever the sound guy was is clearly fired.


Best performance of the night I would have to say, at least from what I saw clicking back-and-forth between Tracy & Olivia, would have to go to Urrsher because he was actually SINGING while being able to do the choreography of his performance.


Chris Brown came on and beat up the stage (HIYO!) with the worst performance of the night, as he was lip-syncing but apparently forgot the ‘syncing’ part which earned him a trending topic on Twitter. Brown also had the worst acceptance speech of the night as you can tell he is still intimated being in a room full of his music peers after he has shown countless times what a dumbass he is.


Natasha Bedingfield getting no love for her Donna Summer tribute, as the execs cut her off mid-performance for the WTF moment of the night. Kind of an odd choice to do the tribute anyway.


Justin Bieber took the stage to what was easily the biggest pop of the night. His performance was rather lack-luster in my opinion though. I don’t know if you can blame it on the sound guy, who didn’t have his vocals high enough for his whipering tone of the “Boyfriend” track, or that the heir to Justin Timberlakes throne is just not good live. His dance moves seemed on point but he did not steal the show by any means.


The Soul Machine, Cee-Lo Green, was reunited with Goodie Mob for the first time in years as they performed some terrible new song. They obviously should have performed “They Don’t Dance No Mo”. Their performance also segwayed into the MCA tribute for the night as the Mob performed the opening verses from “Fight For Your Right” which was just kinda ehhh. The lyrical ability of that group could have chosen some better rhymes than that but I suppose they had to go with what was familiar as this is the Billboard awards and I’m sure they were TOLD what they were going to perform.


Katy Perrys acceptance speech I thought was better than her performance, as she was not going to get rushed to finish up her speech which I thought was awesome. The set for her performance was pretty cool though with a Cirque De Sole esque stage meshed with what looked like the Smashing Pumpkins “Tonight, Tonight” video.


Like I said at the beginning, all in all the show was kinda lame I thought. Was surprised to see that EDMs golden boy, Skrillex, didn’t get any awards but I suppose thats for the better. What did you guys think?

My favorite DJ and my favorite rapper ever have come together to release a collaboration that can only be describe in one phrase, trippy mane. This is off the latest Fools Gold offering, Loosies.


This is very similar to the slept-on banger from A-Trak & Cy-Hy Da Prynce “Ray Ban Vision” released last year. Track and download link below…

The worst news for all women has hit the internet. The biggest entertainment release of all-time, no not Battlefield 3, but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, has upped the ante on its Prestige Levels, jumping from 10 to 15. This is also along with their latest content drop for Elite users, which was a whopping ONE map. They clearly took a lot of time to think of the designs for these new emblems as well.


“Creative Strategist” aka the guy that speaks for all things Call of Duty on the Infinity Ward side, Robert Bowling, posted on his twitter that they added 400 new rank levels and 5 prestige levels.



What does this mean? Well if you are already a level 10 prestige you should probably consider getting a breath of fresh air, maybe speak to someone of the opposite sex, get a job or I don’t know, maybe even take a shower because the amount of time that you have spent on Modern Warfare 3 is completely unhealthy unless you are getting paid for it. But basically it means that Activision just gave out free video game crack to millions of people that are guaranteed to pick up the pipe controller.


As you may know, when I am not DJing, changing diapers, or writing these incredible witty blogs, I am a Call of Duty fiend. Yes, I am one of those guys that was at Gamestop at midnight for the launch, bought the $100 Hardened Edition for the extra stuff, has no problem talking shit to a 14 year old that just got worked, then posting said footage on YouTube. Take a look at what happens when you step into my crosshairs when I am being a dick with a sniper rifle…

If you have any videos that you think are worthy of me posting on here I would love to post them. Email me the YouTube link to djdlux@lastnightshype.com

Nicki Minaj has finally jumped the shark and released a full-scale Pop record. Her new song “Starships” which was released yesterday from her upcoming sophomore LP Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is a 125 BPM bubble gum song sure to be requested by everyone. Song is produced by the guy who put Lady Gaga on the map, RedOne.


Would I have rather heard her beasting lyrically with a straight hip-hop song? Of course. Do I understand that she is just trying to soak up that market that she introduced herself to on the Britney Spears tour? Duh.


I’m sure this song will get remixed out the ass, and Brian Dawe will be the catalyst for it. Just send me the non-hype edits, ok buddy?


What do you guys think of the song?

As we start this new year, I think it is important as a DJ to be out with the old and in with the new. A couple years ago I posted a blog about songs that needed to go away starting the new year, and it actually got reposted on the Orlando Weekly Blog.


With another new year approaching, I decided to do it again. So here we go, the Top 5 songs that I feel all DJs should cut out of their playlists.


5. LMFAO “Party Rock Anthem”

4. Katy Perry “Firework”

3. ALL songs by or featuring Flo Rida

2. Waka Flocka Flame “No Hands”


And the #1 song that not only needs to not be played anymore in 2012, let alone anymore period is….


1. Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go “Cinema” (Skrillex Remix)


Now I’m sure some of you Top 40 DJs, if not most of you, are going to deny that these aren’t in your playlist anymore and to that I say bullshit. I know you want everyone to hear the latest Porter Robinson remix or your Moombahton transition, but most of the time people just don’t know what it is and you have to dig in your Sell Out bag and play one of the songs above to get your dancefloor back (sadly).


What songs do you feel should be nixed starting 2012? Comment and let us know!

Has anyone had the displeasure of having to suffer and listen to the absolute torture that is FM Radio lately? Holy. Fucking. Shit. I really don’t think there is anything more painful to listen to. Instead of torturing terrorists with Metallica, put them in a room and and make them listen to 102 Jamz or XL 106.7 for a 8 hour time span and I guarantee they will be reaching for the nearest gun to blow their brains out after the 10th time “Party Rock Anthem” (or now “Sexy and I know It) comes on, and if that doesn’t do it then surely they will be hanging themselves by the 20th Adele song in a 2 hour period.


My distain for FM Radio is an unbelievable hatred. I despise it more than anything. If I get into your car and you are listening to the radio, you are immediatley failing in my eyes. Why would someone choose to listen to the same fucking songs in a 45 minute period? I do not understand it. This just isn’t Top 40, this is ALL genres. Country (that stupid fucking “I Hear Voices” song, or “Farmers Daughter” bullshit), Hip-Hop, Rock, its all the same shit, constantly. Are these companies really surprised that people are turning to Pandora, Grooveshark, or their own choices on their smartphones and mp3 players? Some people do not though, some people willingly get into their car, fire up 106.7, and start “Rolling In The Deep”.


Working in the 9-5 world has reignited my absolute hatred for this awful format of music. I sit here, and hear Adele, every. fucking. twenty. minutes. Is it really that hard to believe that this chick has the #1 album of the year? She basically owns the radio. How can people stand this? How are they able to just tune out Pitbull, LMFAO, Lady Gaga & J-Lo coming on repeatedly through an 8-hour day? Then whats funny, after their work week, they come out to the clubs, and harass the DJs to play the same shit! Isn’t the point of going out to the clubs to hear something you can’t hop in your car and hear? Apparently not, because we are still getting “Moves Like Jagger” requests every single night. I understand that you’re drunk, and that makes it better, or that you want to hear it on a big sound system and dance to it because you can’t in the office, but that still doesn’t change the fact that you probably have already heard it 7x today, and when you’re driving home you are probably going to hear it again.


Can we talk about 102 Jamz playing things that aren’t anywhere near hip-hop? Since when did Maroon 5 crossover into that genre? I must have missed that. LMFAO I can kind of undertand, because they have that little tingent of Rap in their songs, but there is absolutely no reason I should be hearing “Someone Like You” on what is supposedly a hip-hop station. Is DJ Nasty going to mix “Set Fire To Rain” into the 5′oclock traffic jam? I highly doubt you are going to hear him drop some Marc Anthony on his Friday nights at Roxy, so why is it being played on the station that is promoted on all the flyers of the clubs that he is playing at? I don’t get it.


FM Radio has always and will clearly continue to be awful and thats why I will gladly bring my iPhone in and play things off it whether it be custom playlists, podcasts, SoundCloud mixes, or just firing up the I Heart Radio app (ironic, I know) and listening to talk radio. Do you hate FM Radio as much as I do? I ask you to please “Like” this blog at the bottom, tweet about it, repost it, comment about it, do whatever you can to get my rant out there because I am positive there are other people out there that feel as strongly as I do about this.

The guy who sold out House of Blues Orlando 4 months early and THE king of dubstep whether you like it or not, Skrillex, has been nominated for a Grammy.

 

The obvious nomination is for Best Dance Recording which features his breakout hit “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites”. The curve-ball nomination however, is for Best New Artist, a category for which no DJ/Producer has ever been nominated for, ever. Who would have thought the guy inspiring 14 year olds to shave one side of their head and wear thick black frame glasses would break a Grammy mold.

 

Although I would love to hear this kids acceptance speech, thanking Deadmau5 and all the kids buying his tracks on Beatport, he is going up against some stiff competition, one being the Queen of Hip-Hop right now, Nicki Minaj. Other nominees are Bon Iver, J. Cole, and The Band Perry.

 

Now the obvious choice for a winner would be Minaj, but let’s not forget this is The Grammys and they like to make stupid decisions when it comes to picking a winner. Case in point would be Metallica losing in 1988 while in their prime for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance to Jethro Tull, or Will Smith beating out Notorious B.I.G. a decade later in 1998 with “Men in Black over “Hypnotize”. Maybe it was because Biggie was actually lighting the cigars and Smith was doing it just for the look? We’ll never know.

 

Tune in February 12th for The Grammys on CBS, or just watch Twitter that night and see if Skrillex wins. In the meantime be sure to check out the video in the top right corner for the preview of his remix to Avicii’s “Levels” which just sounds fucking incredible.

If you were at The Beacham this past Tuesday Night then you got to witness true greatness as the #1 scratch DJ on the planet graced Orlando with his presence.

 

He’s not just the guy from Duck Sauce, or the guy who put out that catchy hit “Barbara Streisand”, this is the guy who at 16 years old was a DMC World Champion and has played venues worldwide for years before acclaiming fame from those songs. He also was Kanye Wests touring DJ while everyone still hated him, this is A-Trak and he put on a 2 hour CLINIC.

 

When I arrived to The Beacham, Henry Fong and some other guy I didn’t recognize were finishing up their set and I saw that they werent using a computer so that was commendable to see in the year 2011. Anyways, they finished up,  then A-Rock and Nova started their 4-turntable set, which I had never seen before outside of maybe a song or two. Those two were more than impressive the way they went back-and-forth with each other I must say. I know A-Rock didn’t wanna completely steal the show, so he held off from playing the new Flo Rida single.

After A-Rock & Nova, the man himself was ready to take the decks. Starting out with a blistering scratch routine like only he could,  A-Traks set was full of Disco-Funk with a touch of Electro flavor. If you have ever listened to one of his Fools Gold Radio entries then you recognized most of the tracks but he kept it fresh by throwing in enough tracks not played. The absolute highlight of the set for myself and The Donk was when he pulled out the Dirty South Hip-Hop. Dropping “Tupac Back” by Meek Mill, followed by the highly unexpected “Tony Montana” by Future. To hear these tracks with the bass that The Beacham provides was sooo fucking sick. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, he drops my favorite rapper, Juicy J, and his “Who Da Neighbors” track off his Lex Luger produced mixtape Rubba Band Business 2. Sadly he only played the chorus but that was good enough for me. After he was done with the Dirty South, he went right back to the dancefloor and did his famous Daft Punk scratch routine for their hit “Robot”. Now, I’ve seen this routine on YouTube but it still is just mind-blowing to see how much control this guy has over two 1200s (check out Mr. Riots Facebook for a clip of the jaw-dropping  routine). I was also surprised to see that A-Trak, once a very vocal spokesperson for Serato, had switched his tune and was using Traktor for his performance. Now whether they paid him to start using their software (most likely) or whether he just had a true change of heart, I do not know but I did find it interesting.

 

Now the show was amazing, the venue had incredible sound, but there was one let down and that is the turnout from Orlando. This show was very reminiscent to when DJ AM came to town years before his death and he played at Club Destiny on I-Drive and there was LITERALLY 50 people there total, one being a young Brian Dawe.

 

When I first heard about A-Trak coming to town I was sure that it would be a sell-out show, without question. With how many times we bring Steve Aoki, Diplo, Avicii, etc. and the turnouts they receive as if they weren’t just here less than 6 months ago, I was sure that the city would show up in droves to see someone way more talented than those guys and brought here much less (and I like those guys so no disrespect…well, maybe not Avicii).  I’d say there was maybe a total of 400 people there, and that is being extremely generous. Of course all the local DJs were there including myself, Rincon, Y-Not?, Justin James, Justin James’ hair, and Justin James’ 5 o’clock shadow, among others, but where was everybody else? Our good friend @TheHollywoodHog took his talents to Roxy that night and said it was packed and that was for Chuckie, another DJ who has been here 3 times in less than a year. Chuckie and A-Trak are obviously two totally different DJs when it comes to track selection, but when it comes to skill and technical prowess, A-Trak will blow that guy out of the water blind-folded. This night truly showed that Roxy and the Smile For Camera guys can seriously book any DJ they want right now, even if it is that DJ standing on stage brushing his teeth into a microphone with a 128-140 bpm bass-line, and the kids will flock to it no matter what. Kind of sad really, but good for them.

 

All in all it was a great show and afterwards A-Trak came down to take pictures and meet everybody in the crowd. I, of course, had already left at this point and I could kick myself in the ass for doing so. If you were one of the few people in the crowd then you know you witnessed something truly great and I hope the small crowd didn’t taint Orlando from having the opportunity to have him play again.

The best DJ alive (yeah I said it), the man, the champ, Mr. Fool’s Gold, DJ A-Trak, now blesses Sirius XM for one hour every month and it is tremendous. Highly suggest you download either the mix or the Soundcloud app on your phone and give this a full listen.


Fool’s Gold Radio – August 2011 Mix by A-Trak

Lets say you just clocked in to work. You’re sayin fuck the man and check your twitter or facebook on your iPhone and see that Docta Dawe or DJ dLux just released another mix and it is in torrent form.  Now I know you wanna bang that bitch on the way home but how are you going to download it while your working right. Your phone isn’t set up to remote desktop to your home computer to set up the download so it will be there when you get home so you are pissed. Well ease your worries friend s cause I have a way for you to download torrents on your iPhone or Android with no problems . I have included pictures to go with the corresponding numbers below for help.

First, go to the appstore on the iPhone and download an app called Filer. You can download filer lite if you don’t want to pay but you can only manage 3 downloads at a time, most people wont have an issue with this but hey throw some money to the develpoer who made the app they probably have to pay rent too. On Android go into the Market place and search for Download All Files, it should have a blue icon with a downward arrow. Get these apps installed.

Next, point your browser to www.torrific.com . In the top right corner you are going to click sign up. When you enter your email remember exactly how it is typed as it is very case sensitive when you go to log in at a later date. Make sure this is an email address you can access on your phone as they are going to send you a verification email.

Next we are going to go to where ever this torrent is located on the web. This will work for all torrent hosting websites so pick your poison. Find your torrent and when you see the download torrent link, press and hold until you see copy⁽¹⁾.

Make sure the link you copy ends in .torrent. Go in another tab/window of your browser back to torrific.com and log in if you need. Then at the top input field paste your torrent in there. This is a good point to check that .torrent file ending. Now click get⁽²⁾.

On the next page about midway down to the right you are going to see a button that says “initiate bittorrent download” click this⁽³⁾.

Now, from here you are going to have 1 of 2 screens load. If you’re torrent has already been uploaded to their server you are going to have access to download all files within that torrent immediately to the right⁽⁴⁾

Or you are going to get a screen that will tell you that you have to wait for your download. Check the box to alert you when you are done. They will send you an email  when you can download.Click the link in the email and you will get the first screen.(5)

Once you have the first screen click and hold the file you want to download and select copy to that file, if you have a lot of files like a mixtape download a nice thing this website does is allows you to download them all as a zip file. Not really useful on the iPhone as you cant open it but nice for when you get home.

Once you have selected the file you want to download and copied the link they give you if you are on an iPhone go to filer. If you are on Android I believe when you click and hold you have the option to download right there. For the iPhone when you go to Filer click get link to the far left and your link should already be in the input field and click download.  Now sit back and wait for your file to download.

I only know how to get the files off your iPhone and on to your computer since I don’t own an android but feel free to contact me with a solution for Android. Plug your iPhone into your computer when you get home and click on the apps category under your iPhone. Then scroll down to file sharing and click Filer. Then click the file you want to transfer and click save to and it will transfer the file to your computer pretty quickly.

As a disclaimer, I know some of you are going to say hey I can go download some movie torrents now and watch them at work. Yes you can, however if you seem to initiate enough movies that this website gets a DCMA take down for you will have your account deleted. I have had this happen to me all I did was turn around and make a new account with a different email address. One other thing, if you aren’t on an unlimited data plan try to not be downloading unless you are connected to WiFi. Torrents can get to some pretty hefty sizes and with data fees being at a ridiculous rate it would suck to have to pay for something you could have just waited to get home to download.
