I have been really bad at updating the past six months.
Thank you all, especially those of you who I have never met, for the emails telling me to get off my lazy ass, find some sick tracks and do an update.

DJshrifty.com will be switching to my new website, www.RideSole.com

I have started a company making fixed gear bicycles that are truly affordable for all to afford and fun as hell to ride. On the site, there will be a blog and within the next month we will officially launch. Everyday we will update a new downloadable song as well as cool videos, dope fashion, bike news, and more.

DJshrifty.com is not be done forever. Just a long Hiatus. Kind of like a long distance relationship. Maybe well all reconnect metaphorically like once we graduate college.

stay posted to

I love you all.

This post is a bit a-typical from the norm yall are accustomed to. This almost melodic track from Prodigy blends a Thievery Corporation style voice with some seriously hard breakbeats that somehow, brings a smile to my face when I hear it. I had never really given much love to The Prodigy, famous for “Smack my Bitch Up”, until I saw them live at Ultra Music Festival where they rocked me and the 100,000 other ravers in the audience. They use thumping base and crazy voices. It may be a bit much for you loyal DJShrifty readers but what do you think?

Now this is super fucking cool. I found the original sample for one of todays hottest songs, and its from this old Irish woman Mary O’Hara.

You should instantly know it, but if not, heres the new version below.

I’ve blogged about these guys for months now. They take an upcoming indie rapper/group, sample their hit track, and make their own unique banger. Heres Chiddy Bang using Passion Pit. I would love to hear their version of “Sleepyhead”

This Swedish trio are the brains behind Britney’s “Toxic” , and their coolly emotional pop suggests a little Vampire Weekend meets Animal Collective. This is their first single and its already been remixed by Crookers.

Sorry I stepped away for a minute… or a month. Im back. Happy Summer.

I’m coming back in the strongest way possible; Jay-Z!

This track entitled “Death of Autotune” will most likely be off his highly anticipated new CD, Blueprint 3. Hopefully, autotune (for those of you who dont know, think Kanye on “808’s and Heartbreak” and anything T-Pain) will disappear. He sings “la la la… hey hey… goodbye”.

Hailing from Koreatown in LA, these four best friends have teamed up blending a super electro beat with some dope club lyrics. The use of sound effects oddly and happily complements the beat. Not quite rapping, not quite autotune, Far East Movement definitely delivers a boisterous summer club anthem.
