Sometimes I feel that finding music that excites me is hard. I search and search, looking for the best of the best, something that pops. But then I hear an older track screaming out my radio getting me all excited again and im reminded “go back to that guy, hes prob got something new or old you haven’t heard” Well this post is all about my original find of Just Some Kid. Hes an amazing DJ, blending the best mix of music into a web of fantastical ear food.
This first track I found on Feelmybicep a while back and it really hit the spot.

This one is so far my fave, but feel free to get over to his soundcloud. Make sure you keep your ears open for shows with this guy spinning. It will be an amazing dance-fest.
Lets be honest working from home is awesome. What makes it better is getting to post to this site. As I explore the backlog of tracks that need to be posted here I run across a few B-I-S(Beats in Space) tracks that NEED to be up here.
Beats in Space is a weekly radio show hosted by Tim Sweeney in NYC on WNYU radio 89.1. Tuesdays from 10:30 till 1am he spins hot records and keeps the show rolling with guests from all over the land. This first track (a long one for you kids who need a lazy night away from DJing) is from some of my favorite DJs in the world. They are Irish, so i figured St Pattys day might be the best time to show off their skills. From the fabulous website “FeelMyBicep.com” comes BICEP

My second track comes from the one and FAMOUS “James Murphy”. This show was back in the early 2000s when James was relatively unknown in the big world but was awesomely famous with other DJs.

This 2nd entry is much more for you disco folks. Enjoy and Happy St Patty’s Day!
Yet again, Woolfy (of DFA, Permanent Vacation labels) comes to town this Friday, at Som Bar, with his space-disco beats in tow. Come to find out, this man is a party animal. Looking forward to see what he has to offer! Previously mentioned here before, I don’t think he will disappoint!

A nice little piece of phish trivia: ”Moma Dance” was originally named “Black-eyed Katy” before it had lyrics.
With work being dicks today and deciding to ruin my music scene on the interwebs, i am now resorted to scouring the blog-o-sphere to find tracks that will play across our terribly controlled internet. Well didn’t take that long. Found this guy to day “Just Some Kid” (great name). He is apparently royalty or decedent from such and has been spinning since he was 14 for royalty. I love the 2nd track of this long playing remix. Keep rocking kid.

I think I’ve seen close to maybe 300 shows and I dont think I have ever seen anyone cover any other Michael Jackson song than Thriller. And they were bad at it to boot. Well The Brothers McCann just recently did a cover of Michael’s “Leave Me Alone”. My question is, you decide which is better, Brothers or Jackson?
Michael Jackson – Leave Me Alone
