Debated posting this just because the video footage is poorly shot (our camera man got too wasted) but people have told me they found it entertaining just cause of how wasted everybody is. Enjoy!
More vids from our video production unit this week. woot woot.
Skins Series 4 Trailer from Drew Kim on Vimeo.
I recently came across this trailer for the newest season of the UK smash-hit show Skins, with a track from our good friends Designer Drugs. For those of you who haven’t seen the show, you should definitely try to find a place to watch the first three original seasons. Skins tells the story of a group of underground/indie/dance (someone really needs to come up with a good term for this) London youth, with the help of an amazing soundtrack. Make sure you find the UK versions of the show as they have the better soundtrack, including tons of amazing Dubstep, Electro and Indie from established and unknown artists.
What’s really special about Skins is the influence which it has had on youth party culture in the UK and abroad. A number of Skins parties started to pop-up influenced by the epic jams thrown on this show putting a bit of the DIY ethos back into the party scene. There definitely is a pretty solid bond between this bit of quality imported television and our scene, and I suggest everyone check it out.

Last night was NUTS. Designer Drugs killed it. S.A.T. was a sick venue as always and my first ever time playing out went off without a hitch. Overall, unreal fucking night. Today, I’m gonna post one of my favorite songs from the night by one of my favorite producers right now. It’s Gigi Barocco’s remix of Redman’s ‘I Hold The Crown’. This track went off last night.

SAINTWOODS HEADS BACK TO THE S.A.T. FOR MORE TERROR AND MAYHEM!!
On FRIDAY THE 13TH Philly’s hardest partyrockers since Diplo are bringing their legendary set to Montreal. Take your multivitamins, eat a bunch of ColdFX and get your rest after the Beetroots… You do not want a little H1N1 stopping you from missing the sluttiest, hardest, dirtiest jam of November.
Designer Drugs have arguably one of the best names in dance music, and back up this killer moniker with quality track after quality track. The pair, now based out of New York, have an impressive resume of remixes, which includes the likes of the Veronicas, Little Boots, and most recently an irresistible reworking of Annie’s Anthonio. Most recently they have put out the massive dance floor destroying “Riot/Drop Down EP” released on iheartcomix.
After talking to a bunch of my friends, we have pretty much decided Kill Halloween was the best event/electro show/night out any of us have ever experienced. Seriously, it was the perfect night. But alas, Halloween is gone and we can’t dwell in the past…so what lies ahead? DESIGNER DRUGS @ THE S.A.T. on NOVEMBER 13th!! I am a huge fan of these guys and have already posted some of their work (Here) in my short time writing for Saintwoods. They couldn’t come to Montreal at a more perfect time, as they have just released a new EP titled ‘Riot/Drop Down’. The two songs on the disk (Riot and Drop Down obviously), are both massive bangers and some of the best production I’ve heard from the duo. I’ve posted a video above to get everyone amped for the show and below you will find ‘Drop Down’.

I listen to alot of mixes. Whether it be on my way to school, while studying, or when I’m just chilling at home, I’ll generally have something playing. Mixes keep me interested more than songs with super long intros and outros, as well as put me on to new music and provide tons of ideas for DJing. Recently I’ve been listening to the new Designer Drugs mix on repeat. It has a ton of dope tracks and is essentially a 30 minute banger. The first song on the mix (after a little Scott Storch intro) is their own remix of Flo Rida’s ‘Jump’. While I’m usually not into Top 40 remixes/mash ups, this track is deadly. It’ll get everyone from HS Girls to electroheads moving. Grab the song, as well as Designer Drugs’ Datamix 05, below!

Excessive drinking, cheap hookups, shitty take out food, sloppy grinding, girls puking, guys puking, girls getting carried home, girls crying, guys fighting, pre-drinks, after parties, breakfast with friends, video games, weed, blunts, joints, glass bongs, billie bongs, apple bongs, toilet paper tube bongs, junk food, going to bed when the sun comes up, sleeping till its dark outside, horrible hangovers, sitting around talking shit, nights you’ll remember forever, nights you can’t fucking remember for the life of you, good friends, better fucking times, and oh ya…school, class, and all those other academia related activities.
You’re probably doing one of three things right now: Shaking your head in disgust, smiling as you reminisce on your not-so-distant past which seems like eons ago, or GETTING FUCKING PUMPED UP FOR SEPTEMBER!!!!!
Like it or not, you can almost smell college season in the air. Those crazy kids will be back at it before you know it and here are two end of summer bangers that will help you through those final cottage nights and usher in your September pre-drinks. You can’t really go too wrong with L.A. Riots who are constantly pumping out remixes showcasing that classic ‘electro’ sound which is quickly becoming the soundtrack to the lives of a generation. This is a remix of Crystal Castles‘s, ‘Crimewave,’ with an added punch that is guaranteed to make you scrunch up your face and nod to the person beside you in approval. The second track is a Jupiter One remix by Designer Drugs. The duo originally hail from Philadelphia, but have since moved to New York City and have been churning out electro-ravey, synth heavy tracks, that have been tearing up both clubs and the blogosphere since 2007. 58 Seconds into this feel-good banger you’re guaranteed to start feeling euphoric, fuzzy, and maybe even…PUMPED FOR COLLEGE SEASON…even if you’re not headed back in September, this song will make you happy for those who are.
