YESSIR. OUT OF THE DARKNESS, EXTREME ANIMALS PUSHES THRU LIKE A TON OF BRICKS. “RIP MCA/2K12/SAN DIEGO FIREWORKS FAIL, LOUD +UP CLOSE THE MEGAMIX” IS ON THE INTERNET NOW AND MAN IT FEELS GOOD. JACOB AND DAVID ARE TWO RAGERS CLOSE TO MY HEART AND THIS MIX PRETTY MUCH “SAYS IT ALL” ABOUT THE JAM BAND WITH PAPER RAD ROOTS.
SERIOUSLY CONCEPTUAL WITH EXCEPTIONAL “COURT VISION”, THIS MIX DOES THE DAMN THING SO I MEAN YOU GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO LISTEN. SOMETIMES EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE IS THE ONLY ANSWER. EXTREME ANIMALS ARE TRUE “NO DEPRESSION” MUSIC. CHECK OUT A MUST READ INTERVIEW AND LISTEN RIGHT HERE.
LAST SUMMER I MADE TWO DIGI MIXTAPES (VOLUME ONE AND TWO) THAT TRY TO BREAK DOWN WHERE MY HEAD IS AT WITH THIS RAP ROCK SHIT, ESPECIALLY ON MY NEWEST LP “I DON’T WANNA GO INTO THE DARKNESS”. I CALLED THEM “HEARTLAND CLASSICS” BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT IS. TIMELESS AMERICAN MUSIC!
I’M TRYING TO CONNECT THE DOTS AND FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MY HEROES. THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF KIDS FREAKING OUT IN THE USA AND ALL I’M TRYING TO DO IS TAKE IT TO THE LOGICAL NEXT LEVEL. THESE MIXES ARE A BLUEPRINT FOR THE NEW STYLE. RAP. POP. SPRINGSTEEN. YOU FEEL ME? WELCOME TO THE THUNDER ZONE.
THEY WERE ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE IMPOSE AND MISKA BLOGS AND YOU CAN GRAB THEM BELOW. NEVER SURRENDER FOREVER.
YEAH YEAH YEAH A LIL’ LATE BUT I’VE BEEN ON THE ROAD BREAKING HEARTS VIA THE POWER OF ROCK AND ROLL SO JUST BEAR WITH ME, PEOPLE. THIS ONE COMES AT U LIVE FROM TOKYO AT 2AM, HUNKERED DOWN IN A TINY APARTMENT FUCKING KICKING OUT THE JAMS. WHISPERING YING YANG TWINS STYLE.
PLAYING ALL THE NEW HITS FOR ALL YOU KIDS OUT THERE PLUS A TRULY AMAZING SLAP BASS-FOCUED MINI MIX FROM THE LEGENDARY ADAM FORKNER AKA WHITE RAINBOW. ROCK BLOCK FROM MY BUDDIES BONDE DO ROLE. POWER POP THROWBACK.

I KNOW THIS IS A LITTLE LATE BUT FUCK IT. THUNDER ZONE RADIO FOR SEPTEMBER 2K12 IS HERE AND IT IS SICK. THE SAME WILD STYLE GENRE FLIPPING THAT YOU HAVE COME TO EXPECT PLUS A MICRO MIX FROM THE FANTASTIC JUBILEE!
1 HOUR OF ALL THE STYLES FROM THE THUNDER ZONE AND BEYOND HOSTED BY JUICEBOY. A ROCK BLOCK FROM THE ONE AND ONLY FESTIVAL AMBIENT KINGPINS TEENGIRL FANTASY. A THROWBACK TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE LATE 90′S RAP SONGS. ALSO, JUST SOME GOOD ROCK AND ROLL!

THURSDAY NIGHT I’M DOING A RARE DJ SET AT THE BEAUTY BAR IN CHICAGO ALONGSIDE THE CORAL RECORDS #SEAPUNK CREW. PLAYING DANCE MUSIC, FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!

SEPTEMBER 20TH-BEAUTY BAR CHICAGO (DJ SET)
SEPTEMBER 21ST-GRINNELL COLLEGE IOWA (WITH FAT TONY)
SEPTEMBER 22ND-HOUSE PARTY RAGER (WITH TALKING MOUNTAIN AND DRRT?!??!)
NEW RECORD FROM FESTIVAL AMBIENT KINGPINS TEENGIRL FANTASY. WENT ON TOUR WITH THESE NUTTERS IN 2K9 AND IT WAS A REAL WILD TIME NO DOUBT! THIS NEW ONE RAISES THE STAKES AND TAKES YOU ON A RIDE THRU DANCE MUSIC PAST AND PRESENT IN A WAY THAT FEELS GREAT.
THE LAST TWO TRACKS ON THIS RECORD ELEVATE THINGS TO BASEMENT JAXX LEVELS OF POP DANCE BEAUTY, EVEN ENLISTING THE LEGENDARY ROMANTHONY ON “DO IT”. WE ARE TALKING THEE ROMANTHONY HERE PEOPLE!
TEENGIRL FANTASY: COMING TO A FIELD IN EUROPE NEAR YOU.
JUICEBOY APPROVED DANCE MUSIC FOR 2K12.
NEW (OLD) STYLES FROM THE MAN BEHIND THE THUNDER ZONE ENT. LOGO, THE ONE AND ONLY ZANE REYNOLDS AKA SFV ACID. HIS NEW RECORD ON PPM IS SOME OF HIS EARLIEST RECORDED WORK MADE YEARS AGO AS AN UNDERAGE KID JUST FUCKING EXPLORING THE GAME.
TEENAGE BEDROOM ACID FROM DEEP IN THE VALLEY. SICK HIGH SCHOOL HOUSE WITH AN EAR FOR MELODY. WHATEVER YOU WANNA SAY MAN, THIS SHIT WILL BE TREASURED FOR YEARS TO COME. SOMETHING SLIGHTLY TWEAKED AND HARD TO PLACE, A CERTAIN FEELING: THIS IS SFV ACID IN A NUTSHELL.
ALSO MAN DO NOT SLEEP ON ZANE’S ARTWORK. ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
MY HOMETOWN OF MILWAUKEE HAS A STORIED HISTORY WHEN IT COMES TO AGGRESSIVE HARDCORE TECHNO. WHAT STARTED IN THE 90′S WITH THE FABLED DROP BASS NETWORK CONTINUED ON INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM THROUGH MORE EXPERIMENTAL LABELS LIKE ADDICT AND ZOD, PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF RAVE MUSIC AND CULTURE THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.
ALTHOUGH THE SALAD DAYS OF THIS MOVEMENT ARE OVER, LOCAL MILWAUKEE LABEL RADIO GRAFFITI IS KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE WITH A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF REALLY SICK RECORDS. STYLES RANGE FROM LO-FI GABBER TO CHIPTUNE TO ACID TO BREAKCORE, BUT A HIGH QUALITY CONTROL AND FOCUS RUNS THROUGHOUT THE LABEL’S ENTIRE CATALOG.
OWNER TYLER ST CLAIR MAKES MUSIC UNDER THE STAGEDIVER AND DISPYZ HANDLES AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE LABEL’S BEST RELEASES. THIS SHIT WILL ALWAYS HOLD A PLACE IN MY HEART AND I’M PSYCHED TO SEE KIDS DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY. NEVER STOP RAVING AND RAGING PEOPLE!
“GO TO THE CLUB ALONE” IS A DJ MIX I MADE A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT I HAVE BEEN SITTING ON UNTIL NOW. UPTEMPO MUSIC TRYING TO TELL A LIL’ STORY ABOUT HEADING EAST AND WEST FROM THE HEARTLAND IN SEARCH OF SOMETHING. NOTHING REALLY TOO OBSCURE OR NEW OR OLD OR COOL OR UNCOOL AND A LITTLE BIT BLOWN OUT. MAYBE SOME SICK “BLENDS” I DON’T FUCKING KNOW. THIS THING IS REALLY LONG AND YOU KNOW IT ALWAYS RULES WHEN DJS TALK ABOUT “TAKING YOU ON A JOURNEY” BUT WHAT ELSE CAN ANYONE REALLY SAY? THIS MUSIC SHIT IS A JOURNEY PEOPLE.
LET ME START THIS OFF BY SAYING THAT THIS ONE WAS “TOO GOOD TO JUST TUMBLE” SO HERE WE ARE. I GOTTA GIVE IT UP ONE TIME TO MY BOY COSTANZA – YOU CRAZY FOR THIS ONE! IF YOU LIKE HIS TWITTER STYLES YOUR GONNA LOVE HIS DJ STYLES. I CAN PICTURE THE REAL “INDEPENDENT GEORGE” SHIRTLESS IN THE PIT DOING NINJA MOSH MOVES TO THIS AND LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
