Here's another mashup version of Akala's Fire in the Booth over Love & Light's The One and Let Me Love You. Dark, gritty, aggressive, moving and powerful, so enjoy!

MDMT - Love & Light In The Booth (ft. Akala) (aka the angry blacktivist version)

Here's our favorite set from Burning Man 2013  at Camp Brûlée on the Esplande, thrown down hard by our very own DJ Kittyflip. This is a fast paced crusher featuring tracks from Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, Blackmill, Nicky Da B, Tiesto, Caravan Palace, and more including yours truly.

MDMT - Effigies And Puntang

I wrote this the other night on a 1977 Yamaha B-60u organ I got at a thrift store in perfect condition marked half off $60  :-) It's so deliciously campy and sweet sounding, and even does chord and bassnote rhythms for me. 

Lyrics:

When hardship comes knocking, don't wear a frown,
Life sometimes trips you but you can't stay down
You just gotta see: how bad could it be?
When I've got you and you've got me.

Plus a million adventures that you've never had,
New tastes and sounds designed to make you glad
For the earth, for each other, and for love and for this life
That hands us all lemons so we can make paradise

Don't blame it on the rain, don't blame it on others,
don't blame it on anything: it's not worth it!
Because when you do it weighs twice as heavy on you,
or maybe more: your losing if you want to settle the score.

Smile dear, don't fear, 
you're here, I'm here
Gray skies, pain, lies
Life tries. Transcend, arise.

(Break until 1:23)

You can't feel happy if you don't know pain,
You can't bask in sunlight if it's never rained
Without a minor chord, how could I show,
How much further you can climb when you start out low?

When you're in the dark it doesn't mean there's no light,
And with the right perspective even dim seems bright,
Appreciate your story, and don't wear a frown,
Cause life sometimes trips you but you can't stay down.

You can't feel happy if you don't know pain,
You can't bask in sunlight if it's never rained.
So with the major resolve you can see through sound
That you're happy at the top, so you can't stay down.

Even in your hardest times,
you can't stay down.

(Break until  2:20)

Reflect, say thanks for blessings understood,
For puppies and ponies, a second childhood,
For good days, bad days, for having oh so many days,
For every single thing that makes life feel this way.

Smile dear, dawn's near, 
And we're still here.
Gray skies, pain, lies?
You're divine: ascend, arise!

(Break until 3:00)

There's a million adventures that you've never had,
New tastes and sounds designed to make you glad
And the earth, and each other, and love to fill your life
Half the battle is perspective, so tell yourself:

I'm alright...

MDMT - Very Serious Art (The Not So Serious Organ Version)

The song is a semi-glitchy, vaguely neo-classical electronic piece called Tell Me I'm Wrong, and it's essentially about the internal conflict that goes on during an external conflict with one's partner, about love's struggle for restraint against all the negative emotions involved in such a situation, and the greater desire for peace than to keep one's pride in tact or to be right.

MDMT - Tell Me I'm Wrong (Vocal Mix)

A mashup of RJD2's remix of Bassnectars Teleport Massive and Random Rab's The Riddle.

MDMT - Teleport The Massive Riddle

I've been asked what the song is about, so I figured I'd share my (re)interpretation of the original song with you. Mine was intended to be soothing, in a way: not like a lullaby, more like the bedside manner of a loved one when you're sick or injured or heartbroken. The original song (s) is metaphorically about having become afraid of the dark as an adult, suggesting that sort of fear and helplessness felt in states of weakness, so I wanted to lead the listener a step further, through to the other side of hardship where there's still the ache of what one's been through, but also the optimism that comes with knowing it's over.
