Salad Days | Mad Decent | Commonwealth

Back in 1998 my friends that I met in high school that would become my closest and most influential peers got me into punk and hardcore music. We all skateboarded and had similar interests and outlooks on life. I was very sheltered from "secular" music growing up in a strict Christian home. This music, new to me, was the rebellious music of the devil that I had not been able to listen to. This counter culture was underground even in '98 and I was very eager to be a part of it. I was going to local shows and making mixtapes for my friends. We literally used cassette tapes on a boom box to make these. Any one remember what those were? Sometimes my mom would find them and throw them in the trash.

The 70's, 80's, and 90's punk and hardcore music influenced my taste in music heavily. The culture of the punk rock shows also influenced me. There would be fights and drinking and smoking, all the things my mother wanted me to be sheltered from. One of the best things that I went to shows for was the girls. They would be in love with these band members no matter how big or small the band was. I would go in and mosh and skank and dance in the pit with a bunch of sweaty over exerted dudes. The memories are just flowing back to me.

I met Stereofaith this past summer at a gig in Delaware. He was able to take a crowd that was more interested in gossip than the music and get them dancing. I don't believe its an easy task and have seen numerous "DJ's" who just will play the one genre of music that they like. No one else could be feeling what they are playing, but they insist on sticking to their guns. I more recently have met Nadastrom. These two have the ability to make anyone dance with their music and can DJ a party until there is sweat on the walls.

I have been anticipating this mixtape since I first heard about it months ago. Finally, here it is.

From:
Blog » Mad Decent Worldwide Radio #59 - Salad Days | Mad Decent


"Salad Days" is a hardcore punk mix that Nadastrom and DJ
Stereofaith pieced together. Having been raised by the DC punk and
hardcore scenes in the late 80s and 90s, they give a nod to their
musical roots and continue to refer to the DIY ethos as working DJs and
producers. The "Salad Days" mixtape is a celebration of the energy and
passion of punk and hardcore music.

Pase Rock - Nights

I first heard the Nadastrom Remix to this song off of one of their mixes for "Ya'll Aint Yeti". The last few months have been an eager build up for me to get this track. It's not fair that I heard the Remix first because the original is great on its own. Pase Rock did it right here. This song is one of those tracks that you put on getting ready or on the way to the club. It gets me pumped. You can cop the original and two remixes here.

TaxLo! Cullen Stalin's Bday with KID SISTER, NADASTROM, DJ SEGA and guests!

Ok all my party people. This is going to be huge! Here is all the info from their facebook page. I already have my tickets.

TaxLo! Cullen Stalin's Bday with KID SISTER, NADASTROM, DJ SEGA and guests!

Saturday, April 10, 2010 at 8:00pm

Location: Sonar
Street: 407 E Saratoga St
City/Town: Baltimore, MD


Every spring for the past five years or so, there is a big party. Last year the MSTRKRFT/BIRD PETERSON bill grew to include BLAQSTARR, AMANDA BLANK, SPANK ROCK, and DEVLIN & DARKO. In previous years we've seen DIPLO, SCOTTIE B, NINJASONIK, and many more club-rattling acts take the stage around this time.

We're doing it again in 2010! Don't miss the first area appearance of...

KID SISTER (Live! Only area appearance! Chicago, Fool's Gold)
http://kidsistermusic.com/

KID SISTER has been featured in the New York Times, Urb, Complex, and just about everywhere else. She's been nominated for a BET award alongside Eve and Missy Elliott. She has performed on TRL and recorded a video with Kanye West. All years before her album dropped.

A certified party-starter, Kid Sister is as comfortable collaborating with Chromeo as with Cee-Lo; rapping alongside David Banner or over beats by Steve Angello or Sinden. Her debut full-length, ULTRAVIOLET (Fool's Gold/Downtown) demonstrates her versatility and unstoppability.

This will be Kid Sister's debut performance in the entire Bmore/DC area, and her only area appearance on this tour! You can't even catch her in Philly...

Oh and speaking of Philly...

DJ SEGA (Mad Decent/Brick Bandits)
http://myspace.com/djsegatheblackknight

DJ SEGA is Baltimore filtered through Philly. He's been a true pioneer, introducing Baltimore sounds to the Philadelphia club scene for years - since he was a teenager, dropping monthly mixtapes. He has taken Baltimore club and flipped it until it's almost a new genre, and is hailed as the master of "Philly Club." This brought him to the attention of internationally-known producer Diplo, who quickly signed Sega to his label, MAD DECENT.

DJ SEGA has played TaxLo several times before, most notably at the epic Death Set/Bonde do Role/Future Islands party in May 2008. Get psyched to hear his latest bangers!

But wait, there's more!

NADASTROM (Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom, Dubsided, DC)
http://myspace.com/nadastrom

The duo of Matt Nordstrom and Dave Nada should need no introduction to TaxLo regulars. DAVE NADA has been a longstanding resident at TaxLo since the party's days at the (old) Talking Head Club. Since those days, his DJ and production trajectory brought him to collaborate with DC house innovator MATT NORDSTROM, and the result was the international smash collaboration, NADASTROM.

Quickly recognized as the future by Switch and Tittsworth, NADASTROM has released a string of bestselling releases and remixes for DUBSIDED, T&A, FOOL'S GOLD, MAD DECENT and more. House music to stagedive to.

Of course, there will be plenty of surprises too, and this will all be hosted by

TAXLO DJs SIMON PHOENIX and CULLEN STALIN

MOOMBAHTON

Dave Nada is one of the nicest, down-to-earth artists that I have had the pleasure of meeting this past year. Dave is so friendly and approachable. Every time I see him perform he is smiling and having a great time. He gets the crowd moving whether its a public block party in Philly, Steve's Bar Room in DC, or a cousin's friend's basement. Dave recently released a little mixtape which is hosted on DJ Ayers website.

Here's the back story

"I probably shouldn't tell this story, but here goes. Lo ciento Tia Sona!...

My little cousin Jean-Pierre is a huge Nadastrom fan and he's about to graduate from high school. Him and his boy Mike are notorious for throwing these wild skipping parties. For those that don't know, "skipping parties" are when you throw a house party mid-school day and you tell all your friends that morning and everyone who knows about the party skips school to go wild out. Word of mouth only too, no internet/paper trail. Anyhow, around their homecoming last fall they asked if I could dj one of their skipping parties and I, being the supportive/bad seed cousin that I am, agreed. They had a beat up system, but like 329439 speakers all over Mike's basement so it sounded huge. They told me it would last about an hour because cops usually bust it up. The house/neighborhood was right by the woods so it was convenient to bounce and hide if need be.

Anyhow, so here we are at Mike's empty house around 11:30am and everything is set up. Kids start pouring in around noon and the music starts. Mike and JP are dropping Batchata and moving into Reggaeton. This shit was getting crazy. 20 minutes in and the place is PACKED, all latin kids. Haha! I was gettin mad nervous (oldest dude there) and JP was like "yo you gotta go on soon primo!" and I'm thinking "fuck I cant play house/techno shit, I'll get jumped" so I had the idea of slowing down some of the tropical/dutch house stuff I had on cds. Afrojack's "Moombah Remix" being the biggest tune, I said fuck it and turned that shit down to 108 bpm. JP told all his people about me so bamas starting cheering when I went on, haha. And that's when shit popped the fuck off. The minute that "t-t-t-t-turn up the bass!" part came in and dropped the place went insane! I played it all the way til the end and then did the same to Sidney Samson's "Riverside" and EVERYONE is yelling the "riverside motherfucker!" part and shit was just too much. I was losin it and told myself "I need to make some edits of this shit!" And thus, Moombahton was born.

Long story short, neighbors complained a good 15 minutes into my set and threatened to call the cops. Half the party started to bounce and then a few minutes later Mike yells "cops on the way!" and like clockwork this party was done. All in about an hour. I parked down the street and drove both my cousin JP and Mike back to school so they can catch the end of their classes as if nothing ever happened."
