The Legion Of Boom - The Crystal Method Mega Mixx - A DJ Mix By THE BEATMEISTER

The Crystal Method is an American electronic music duo that was formed in Los Angeles, California by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland in the early 1990s. They continued to release albums and toured through the 2000s, and their songs have appeared in numerous video games, commercials, and films. The duo also composed and recorded original film soundtracks. Their best-selling album, Vegas, was certified platinum in 2007.

Both of them were born in Las Vegas, Nevada.[1] Kirkland was born when his mother was only fifteen. He grew up listening to his mother's music, disco and his father's music, rock. When he had grown a little older, he began listening to Heavy metal, as well as bands like Depeche Mode. Ken Jordan also grew up listening to classic rock and '80s electronic as well. "excerpt from wikipedia"

Along with The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and Prodigy, the dynamic duo of Kirkland and Jordan collectively known as The Crystal Method, completes the list of my all-time fave electronic artists. This MegaMixx contains tracks from their various albums, Divided By Night, Community Service, Vegas, London Movie Soundtrack, Drive-Nike Soundtrack, and Legion of Boom.

Sampled tracks played include Starting Over, Busy Child, High and Low, Comin' Back, Glass Breaker, Bound Too Long, Blunts & Robots and Dirty Thirty (feat. Peter Hook), Smile, Born Too Slow, Defective and more.

Right Here, Right Now - A Fatboy Slim Compilation Mix - A Mega Mix By THE BEATMEISTER

Been out of the blogosphere for sometime due to some unforeseen events and am just glad to be back once again with this simple tribute to one of my favorite DJs of all time.

Norman Quentin Cook (born Quentin Leo Cook, 16 July 1963), better known by his stage name Fatboy Slim is a British DJ, big beat artist, producer and pioneer of the electronic dance genre which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s. Cook has achieved considerable success in the UK charts, performing as Fatboy Slim and with his previous 80s New Wave band, The Housemartins, The Housemartins, and also electronic and acid jazz artists, Beats International and Freak Power. He currently performs as the Brighton Port Authority, which is also the newest alias for this multifaceted performer.

Here's a simple straight-up megamix of almost all of his hits (remixed by the world's top DJs/remixers), which I did some three months back. Another must-hear for any Fatboy Slim or dance music fan.

Tracklist:

1) Talkin' Bout My Baby (Midfield Generals Disco Shuffle)

2) Love Island (Manumission Mix)

3) Don't Let The Man Get You Down (Justice Mix)

The Vault In The Mix Presents: Shut Up & Let Me Mix - The Ting Tings Mixtape - A Mega Mix By THE BEATMEISTER

The Ting Tings is one of a few current bands, which definitely caught my attention. Along with their catchy lyrics and melodies, they definitely sound retro for me, having that 80's New Wave sound, like a young Altered Images (no wonder they did a cover of "Happy Birthday" from The Vault playlist), SSQ or Eighth Wonder, or whichever female-led old school band you might compare 'em to.

An English rock duo of Jules De Martino (drums, guitar, vocals, piano) and Katie White (born 1983) (vocals, guitar, bass drum), they are originally from Leigh, Greater Manchester (which probably explains their New Wave influence).

They formed in December 2007 while based at Islington Mill, Artist Studios in Salford. They have released four singles on their current label Columbia Records UK, including the single "That's Not My Name" which charted straight to Number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on 18 May 2008. The album We Started Nothing was released on 19 May 2008 and also charted at Number 1 in the UK.

'Have compiled some of their best tunes for a non-stop weekend treat that am sure every fan or a first-time listener would most definitely enjoy.

Tracklist In The Mix:

1) Intro

2) Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix)

3) Be The One (Bimbo Jones Club Mix)

4) Shut Up & Let Me Go (Haji & Emmanuel Remix)

5) Fruit Machine (Dave Spoon Vocal Mix)

6) That's Not My Name (Tom Neville Mix)

Another delicious treat courtesy of Totally Mixed Up and The Vault In The Mix for y'all. So please continue to drop by here and also tune in to The Vault On Live 365 and In The Mix for all the classics and latest tunes and never-before-heard mixes and remixes.

3 Stars & A Sun - The Beatmeister's Tribute To The Filipino Master Rapper - Francis Magalona (October 4, 1964 - March 6, 2009)

Just a few weeks after a very talented musician, Mike Francis, passed away, another gem in the industry, Francis Magalona more popularly known as "Francis M," "The Mouth," and "The Master Rapper," succumbed to severe sepsis as a complication of his long-time battle with leukemia and passed away at 12 noon today. He was just 44 years young. His passing away is indeed a tremendous loss for the Philippine music industry.

As quoted from Inquirer.net, "the acclaimed rapper-musician was rushed to the Medical City on Thursday night, Inquirer sources said. He was “intubated” upon admission and placed in the Intensive Care Unit at 3 a.m. Friday.

Magalona was “toxic” during the early hours of Friday, the Inquirer sources further said.
Doctors still managed to administer chemotherapy on Magalona. He expired before a bone marrow transplant could be scheduled, they said.

Magalona had been undergoing several chemotherapy sessions since he was diagnosed with the
disease in August last year but was too weak to fight the infection, sources said."

Magalona was supposed to perform “Superproxy” with the Eraserheads in the band’s reunion concert, “The Final Set” at the SM Mall of Asia grounds in Pasay City on Saturday.

He had been in collaboration with Eraserheads and Pupil frontman Ely Buendia for an album to be released this year, but sadly, won't be finished because of his sudden passing away.

For more info on his inspiring journey, check out... http://francismagalona.multiply.com/ and http://happybattle.multiply.com/

As a tribute to a great Filipino artist and the original urban patriot of our time, I am reposting a Megamix of almost all of his greatest hits and a Remix of one of his earlier hits for the last time. Rest in peace brother! You and your excellent contribution in the Original Pinoy Music scene will surely be missed.

Please check out my original posts from last year of the late great Francis M.

Totally Mixed Up Presents: Let Me In - The Best Of Mike Francis - A Mega Mix By THE BEATMEISTER

Been doin' some experimentation with this new filehosting site that my buddy, OEV, recommended to me a couple of weeks back and I will be trying it out for today's upload. Just click on the play button below for the mixset preview.

His sudden death came as a shock to me, so as my personal tribue to the late great Francesco Puccioni, best known as Mike Francis (April 26, 1961 – January 30, 2009), especially to his Pinoy fans, I've compiled almost all of his greatest hits and the not-so-popular ones, and mixed it in one single set for every fan's (including myself) listening pleasure.

Have included all of my faves from Mr. Puccioni namely "Survivor," "Features Of Love," "Friends," "Suddenly Back To Me," and the best of 'em all, "Let Me In."

Here's a short bio on the late great Mike Francis. Francesco Puccioni, was an Italian singer and composer, best known for his 1982 disco hit "Survivor".

He was born in Florence. Mike carried through his activity as an author and composer with great success, other than for himself as in "Let Me In", for other artists, in this particular case for Amii Stewart in "Friends" (already on top of both Black American and English charts) and "Together", where he is again author-composer.

Francis formed his first band at age 14 with schoolmates from l'Istituto di Studi Americano in Rome. He had his first hit with "Survivor" in 1982 and went on to record ten studio albums. Francis died January 30, 2009 of lung cancer in Rome. (quoted from wikipedia).

With these 2 most requested anthems, "Let Me In" and "Friends" played on and on by DJs in parties way back in the 80s, Mike Francis will surely be missed by his Filipino fans, both then and now. This mix is a must-have for anyone, who has enjoyed his music. Rest in peace brother.

The Vault In The Mix Presents: The Best Of The Thompson Twins - A Mega Mix By THE BEATMEISTER

Here's another one of my fave New Wave bands from the 80s. A British Pop group formed in April of 1977, they achieved considerable popularity in the mid-80s scoring hits in both the UK and US.

Named after the two bumbling detectives Thompson and Thompson in Herge's comic strip, The Adventures of Tintin, the band's lineup consisted of Tom Bailey (bass and vocals), Alannah Curie (xylophone, percussion, vocals) and Joe Leeway (congas, percussion).

"They broke into the UK Singles Chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart at the beginning of 1983 with "Lies" and "Love On Your Side", which became the band's first UK Top 10 single. Further singles from their third album Quick Step and Side Kick (called simply Side Kicks in the U.S.) followed with "We Are Detective" (another Top 10 UK hit) and "Watching". Bailey's flame-red hair and bright ponytail and Currie's wasp-swatting style at the xylophone swiftly became endearing images of an exciting new act. Bailey primarily wrote the music (with significant enough input from Leeway that he received co-authorship credit on all tracks), and Currie contributed most (if not all) of the lyrics. Leeway was primarily responsible for the band's live visuals. During 1983, the band had the opening spot on The Police concert tour in the U.S.
At the end of 1983, a new single, "Hold Me Now", was released. The song was an international chart success, peaking at #3 in the US in the spring of 1984, becoming their biggest American hit, and also hitting #4 in their native UK where it became the band's biggest seller earning a Gold disc[3].

Further hit singles followed in 1984: the Top 5 UK pop hit "Doctor! Doctor!"; the quirky "You Take Me Up" (reaching number two, their highest UK chart placing, and earning a Silver disc[4]); the haunting "Sister of Mercy"; and "The Gap", with its Middle Eastern rhythms (though this was not released in the UK). The corresponding album, Into The Gap, was one of the biggest selling of 1984, selling five million units worldwide and topping the British album charts. The band also embarked on a world tour in support of the album.

A late 1984 single, "Lay Your Hands On Me", saw the band attempt to build on their success, but the visuals of the band draped in jewels contrasted sharply with the prevalent theme of Band Aid for famine relief in Ethiopia. The single did well, making the US Top 10 (and #13 in the UK), but by then the trio had peaked." (quoted from wikipedia)

This is my best effort in compiling their best and greatest hits and the not-so-popular ones, all in one single Mega Mix, which was also featured in our weekly program, The Vault In The Mix, every Saturdays (US) and Sundays (Manila). Again, thanks much to my buddy, The Boy Wonder, for a copy of the mix from the show. :D

For The Love Of The Beat - Omni Trio vs. The Beatmeister

Here's some ambient beats from one of my fave drum n' bass artists, Omni Trio. It's been quite a while since my last upload of D&B tunes so I feel now is the right time once more.

Rob Haigh, also known as Omni Trio, is a British electronic, ambient and experimental musician.

In the early 80s he released a series of experimental ambient albums under the names Robert Haigh and Sema - the most notable being ‘Three Seasons Only’ and ‘Notes From Underground’. He also contributed to several Nurse with Wound projects and formed an industrial avant funk band called The Truth Club together with Trefor Goronwy, who would go on to join This Heat, Camberwell Now and become involved with music in the former Soviet Union..

In the 90s Rob developed a unique style of what has become known as ‘ambient Drum and Bass’ and released six acclaimed albums under the name Omni Trio. The Omni Trio sound is notable for its intricate orchestrated production and atmospheric sound palette. Omni Trio was one of the original drum and bass producers, who first released for Moving Shadow as early as 1993. He produced several massive anthems in the period now known as "old skool", including the piano-led "Renegade Snares", "Thru the Vibe", "Feel Good" and the classic "Mainline". Both these featured on his first LP, The Deepest Cut (1995), which is recognised as one of the first jungle albums.

He followed up quickly with Haunted Science in 1996, which included well known tracks like "Trippin' on Broken Beats" and "Nu Birth of Cool". Mainstream trends in dancefloor-oriented drum and bass rapidly diverged from his musical style, and subsequent albums Skeleton Keys (1997), the Detroit techno-influenced Byte Size Life (1999), and Even Angels Cast Shadows (2001) produced no big hits on the scale of his early singles, but they further cemented his reputation as one of the finest album-oriented musicians in drum and bass. Indeed, he was the first artist in the genre to produce six full-length artist albums. The track First Contact made it on the GTA III dance radio station.

Since 2004 after the release of the sixth and final Omni Trio album ‘Rogue Satellite’, Rob has been working on a solo album of "post Minimalist sonic landscapes" called ‘From the Air’ and is collaborating with experimentalist Hafler Trio.

Tracklist:

1) Living For The Future (FBD Project Mix)

2) Feel Good (Remix)

3) Torn

4) Nu Birth Of Cool (Original 12" Mix)

5) Serpent Navigators

6) Renegade Snares (Fould Play VIP Mix)

7) Walking Wounded feat. EBTG

8) Thru The Vibe

9) Who Are You (Original Mix 12")

10) Rollin' Heights

11) Shadowplay

12) Together

13) The Elemental

14) Soul Of Darkness

15) Before Today feat. EBTG

OPM Set - An Urban Patriot's MegaMix - The Beatmeister vs. Francis M

'Zup guys! It's been a while since my last post and what better way for a comeback than with another megamix of another one of our great OPM advocates. I know, this should have been posted back for my June 12, Philippines' Independence Day post, but better late than never, right?? It's the 4th of July anyway, so Happy Independence Day to all my American and Fil-American friends and readers in the US.

Now on with the music. Known by a dozen monickers, Master Rapper, FM, The Man From Manila, The Mouth, Francis M, King Of Pinoy Rap, etc., Francis Magalona was credited as being the first Filipino rapper to cross over to mainstream and one of the most idolized, celebrated and influential Pinoy rappers. He was also the original urban patriot, expressed through his music, a long time before APL.d'AP of the The Black Eyed Peas declared that he was Pinoy.

A sibling amongst nine brothers and sisters, Francis Magalona is the son of late Philippine movie screen legends Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran. Starting out as a breakdancer in the early 1980s, he followed in his parents footsteps and ventured out into acting, appearing in several Filipino movies; he branched out to emceeing and released the groundbreaking album Yo! in 1990 garnering the nationistic hit Mga Kababayan (My Countrymen), making Yo! the first commercially released Pinoy rap album in the Philippines.[1] While rapping politically conscious and thought-provoking rhymes in both English and Tagalog, the album was a total success and helped instantly catapult Filipino hip hop from underground to mainstream status and also marked the birth of Makabayang or Nationalistic rap in Filipino hip hop.

FrancisM's contributions to the genre have been featured in several international hip hop publications including the All Music Guide to Hip-Hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap and Hip-Hop (2003) published by Backbeat Books; as well as the May 2004 issue of the U.S. based publication The Source. FrancisM was also given the Pioneer Hall of Fame Award by Empire Entertainment at the 1st Annual Philippine Hip-Hop Music Awards in 2005.[3] (taken from Wikipedia).

Join me as we journey into the Oddventures of Mr. Cool (Francis M) and listen to my patriotic mix of his greatest tunes to date.

Tracklist:

1) Intro - "Excerpts from The Philippines' National Anthem "Lupang Hinirang" and a speech from US ex-President Bill Clinton

2) 3 Stars & A Sun

3) Ito Ang Gusto Ko (This Is What I Want)

4) Ayoko Sa Dilim! (Don't Wanna Be In The Dark)

5) Meron Akong Ano (I Have Something)

6) Mga Kababayan (My Fellow Countrymen)

7) Tayo'y Mga Pinoy (We Are Filipinos)

8) Gotta Let'cha Know

9) My Only One

10) Loving You (with wife Pia)

11) Girl Be Mine

12) Whole Lotta Lovin' (samples The Eraserheads' "Alapaap")
