Why Not CMS Mix - April 27,07

This lazily thrown together and poorly ordered mix is in honor of the diligent “Why Not CMS” comment spammer that we get on this site every once in a while.

I needed to purge some music I’ve been sitting on for much too long before I drop a dope mix I’ve been working on (see what I did there? Create some early hype).

Complete with a track stolen by Hot Chip’s DJ Kicks before I could get it up (Positive K), a chick who never seems to let me down (Amerie), one of the best remixes so far this year (Jr. Boyz/Hot Chip), and just one more reason to love Erlend Øye.

Come Get Some HERE

1. Positive K: “I Got a Man”
2. Flo-Rida: “Birthday”
3. April March: “Chick Habit” (Death Proof Soundtrack)
4. Phonique: “Casualties feat. Erlend Øye” (Good Idea)
5. Chuck and Mac: “Powerful Love” (Eccentric Soul: Twinight’s Lunar Rotation)
6. Gui Boratto: “Beautiful Life” (Chromophobia)

11. Junior Boys: “In The Morning (Hot Chip Remix)” (Dead Horse EP)
12. Twista: “The Come Up” (The Come UP BW Bussin No Discussin)
13. Ulrich Schnauss: “Medusa” (Goodbye)
14. Gil-Scott Heron: “Angola, Lousiana” (Secrets)

Got That Pandemic - Jan. 10, 2006


To the faceless voice on Bodie’s Corner in the 4th Season of The Wire, yelling “Got that Pandemic” or even “….Plymouth Rock” and “…Mistletoe” depending on the holiday, heard but never seen: You are a business man. You are a soldier. You are a (dare I say) hero.

This mix is for you.


Get that Pandemic HERE.

UPDATE! This track was meant to originally be part of the mix, but slipped through the cracks. Download that track HERE

Janet Jackson & Friends

Hard to believe that it was already one year ago that we made each other's ears bleed and Cosmodrome was born. In that time, I have gained employment, moved out of my parents' house, and started eating sushi. But I still listen to the same old tunes... Janet and friends.

Golden Hour - September 5, 2006


Suck it up: Summer's gone.
But we were there for you, first with a mix to ease you into Summer, and now with this one to help ease you out of it. Starting with the anthem to late Summer and ending with a song for those frosty Fall nights (or shootouts in Miami). Named after the hour of dusk where the setting sun casts everything in a heroic light, where the humidity creaks, then crumbles as the frigid air settles over, and with cuts coming from such disparate places as the streets of Harlem, the shores of Sweden, and the fiery-hot loins of Alan Thicke, it has everything one could ask for.

So grab a seat on your roof, stoop, or balcony, pour yourself a tall stiff glass of amber spirits, turn on this mix, and watch the sky set fire and burn out.

So So Broke 05.23.06

"Is anyone else noticing a pattern in the Hustlina mixes? By the 12th mix, we will probably have an entire Fall album, an entire Misfits album, an entire ESG album, and a whole bunch of hip hop."
Jeff Deutchman
