I was in Vegas these past few days and while hoping for 3-4 nights of debauchery, I ended landing with a nasty fever and terrible stomach bug which kept be floored to my hotel the whole time.
What a waste.
Anyway, I’ve sucked as of late, and this is a little attempt to make up for it. I received a 30 mega-remix set from The Black Ghosts and I’m super excited for it (this means you should be as well). I’ve posted about them a few times on res and have used both remixes of and by them in many a deejay set. They are poised to be one of my favorite bands this coming year. Be sure to peep a listen and give them some loving.
The Black Ghosts

Since hearing the Switch remix of Face i’ve been finding all I can from these guys.
Can’t wait for the mix to download. Cheers.
Hi! It’s a lovely website you have, here.
This mix is the best rock/breaks fusion I’ve heard. It has subtlety to it, and not the garishness of the electrofunk that’s coming from France at the moment.
I hope that these men will refine their sound as a rock outfit into something more stylish. (^_^)
