New Set, New Remix

My friends from Barrington formed a new band recently that's been receiving quite a bit of positive attention. Mike Sanfillippo, the lead singer, recently made it to the top 50 round on American Idol, and the band has been featured on the NY Times as well as The Next Big Sound. Mike recently asked me if I could try remixing one of their tracks, Saving Seconds. I'm not fully satisfied with my remix yet, but you can hear it in the set I posted today at about 13 minutes in. Their band is Bright Like Japan and I would recommend checking out their Myspace.

Recorded a new live set earlier today with a lot of new tracks I've had stuck on repeat. I'm currently in love with Yuksek, especially the track Extraball on their first album, Away From The Sea, released February 2nd. I'd definitely check out the album as it features other great artists like Chromeo and Sh!t Disco. You'll hear Extraball, Saving Seconds, and many other new tracks in my latest live set, 2-26-09

Legalization Legislation!

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of California will announce legislation on Monday to legalize marijuana and earn perhaps $1 billion annually by taxing it. Ammiano's proposed bill "would remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21." That would bring in roughly $1 billion for the state, according to estimates made by marijuana advocacy organizations. source

I was going to play this set on-air, but as I was in a rush to burn the mix my piece of sh!t CD burner didn't write correctly. Either way, it's up for download free here:

Enjoy, and if you are looking for any one song in particular I would recommend using elbo.ws to search for it, most are available for download.

It has begun

Kage's music blog is officially up and running, w00t!1

Now that I landed a spot on KRUI Radio [kruiradio.org] I decided to create this primarily for posting set lists of my live show that you can listen to on 89.7 FM from 2-4 AM on Sundays.

I will also be posting new live sets, remixes, and mash-ups as I create them for free download here, so be sure to click "follow this blog" on the right side of this page. Currently, there are 5 live sets available for download: 2009, 2010, Thanksgiving, Warm-up, and Fifth, as well as 5 remixes.

And that's my cat Meebles. She's gangsta.
