Mix tapes have always been an integral part of NYC’s underground culture and burgeoning music scene, and as such, Mishka is proud to carry on the tradition with the launch of Keep Watch. Featuring top DJs hailing from every genre and geographic corner, Mishka’s Keep Watch party-mixes celebrates one of the most widely practiced American art forms. Released bi-monthly with an accompanying party to boot, the mixes will be available for free download through mishkanyc.com and iTunes.
To kick off the Keep Watch series, we have invited our Canadian friends, Jokers of the Scene (JOTS), to put together something special just for you. This first volume by JOTS also celebrates the 5th anniversary of their high popular club night Disorganised,which has hosted the earliest Canadian appearances of such party heroes like MSTRKRFT, CSS, Diplo, Crystal Castles and Girl Talk. Listeners can expect to hear mind-melting mixes that are loud, fun and guaranteed to light up dance floors.
Why is Murs better than your favorite rapper? Because he’s straight nasty….and cause he gives away free downloads of his LP “Sweet Lord” with beatsmith 9th Wonder. Get it here and don’t forget to vote Murs for president on September 30th.
“Dance Wiv Me” by Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris is the number one UK single right now and has been for the last 3 weeks. The US number one song is “I Kissed a Girl.” It’s official…the Brits make better pop music.

I snapped this little pic of Mikey in action Saturday during our little dance party pre-game before hitting up the bars in Manasquan. There’s nothing better than tearing it up in a sweaty packed shore house at 10 pm, especially when you drop the joint below. Compliments of Missingtoof.

This remix, coming compliments of www.flufftronix.com, has a little something for everybody; bass heavy rock inspired electro beats, cheesy top 40 recognizable-by-all vocals, and my favorite classic rock piano breakdown of all time. The recipe makes for a perfect dance floor banger for all occasions.
