Bro Safari (Soundcloud)

Media Contender Podcast 14 01.2012 Direct Download

Bro Safari, one of the many musical facets of Knick Weiller (of Evol Intent and Ludachrist fame) is a busy man; apart from production and DJing for his various identities, he’s got his game on lock and is a wise and well-spoken individual who understands the music industry and is tuned in to the sounds quite well. The mix is a nice blend of moombahton, deeper dubstep, and glitch-style tracks, from a ton of both new and established artists within the scene.

We are very excited to have Two Fresh come forth to deliver the “Lucky 13″ edition of the Media Contender Podcast Series. This mix delivers 30 minutes of jams, lots of grooves and plenty of Two Fresh material for your aural enjoyment. They’ve just finished a massive North American leg of Skrillex’s Mothership Tour, bringing their electrical live show to over 45 cities around Canada and the US. They’ve already got two albums under their belts and aren’t slowing down in the slightest on the production tip. With low end, synth-driven tracks that blend hip hop and jazz with the origins of bass music, Two Fresh have opened up a window of music that can be enjoyed and appreciated by a wide spectrum of music enthusiasts. It’s bright and refreshing, hip-shaking and impossible not to jam out to. There’s something innately respectable about young guys keeping the beauty of old school hip hop alive.

Pools (Soundcloud)

Media Contender Podcast 12 10.2011 Direct Download

Next up in the Media Contender Podcast series comes a duo that may be somewhat newly formed, but whose members have a long-standing and well-estabished history in the scene. Our own (thee) Mike B, along with Morse Code, have joined forces to create the most bodacious duo, Pools. They auspiciously released their first mixtape around Coachella last year and have since been in the studio bringing their sound to light with a few really solid releases lined up.

The Pools podcast is plain and simplly around good vibes…Nat and Mike have the feel-good, do-good, its all good m.o. on lock and this mix lends copious amounts of these things to the listener. They truly bring forth a great symbiotic relationship; the notable combination of both their efforts and knowledge comes across boldly and presents itself in well-orchestrated musical adventures. While the summer days and mojitos by the pool may be on their way out for most, Pools and their music will continue on promoting the eternal summer. Stay tuned in the coming months for more from these guys.
