Ke$ha – currently having the number 1 iTunes single in the US which, lets be honest, is the only list that matters since its the largest music store in the world – is raking in the money by the second. That being said, that single is just about the most appealing thing to buy in the store. The whole idea of Ke$ha is basically Texts From Last Night put in song form. As if a song about brushing your teeth in a sugary whiskey isn’t enough, a LA resident colloquially named Skeet Skeet has done an electro remix of Ke$ha’s song Tik Tok. Take a listen.

Major Lazer’s latest re-release ‘Pon de Floor’ is free on iTunes! This mad mix of electro beat, and dance hall r’n'b, with a cheeky bit of dubstep just makes me want to jam out on a carnival street somewhere…so shake off the cold and get crazy to this beat!Enjoy…

For those of you who were expecting a live show from Calvin, I’m betting you were all a little disappointed when you found out he wasn’t singing. While there was minimal advertising for the event (not evencept a huge A0 poster outside the union like there was for Sister Bliss last year), what adverts were up did say “DJ SET” on them, so don’t blame the organizers for not telling you, cause they did, you just weren’t looking hard enough.
Beyond that, he did a great job. He got the crowd going (playing some of his own stuff) and for the most part, threw down a really well thought out and put together set including one of our personal favorites, Duck Sauce. So, before you all go ranting about how it wasn’t worth going to see, consider this: no one has ever gotten so many people into really good dance music in this town before. Yes thats right, the music he played was good. There I said it! And for that, I salute Mr. Harris.
Some more ear candy for you all:

I always try to be quite picky with the things that I write about on Saintandre.ws. Frankly, most of the stuff I play in my sets wouldn’t make the cut onto this site, but this is my set-wetdream (setdream?). Anyway, this is a live mix done by VENT at Breakspool 2009. Note that absolutely amazing mixing powerhouse on decks – then appreciate. One of the things that I think gets lost in a lot of beat-matching is subtlety. Sure someone can beat-match ; frankly, in the 21st century, its about as hard as spending £150 on a computer program and spending an hour analyzing all your tracks. The true art in beat matching comes from subtlety: not just matching the beat, but vibe and melody as well. This is something that you can really hear in VENT’s mix. He only mixes another song in when he thinks it would benefit the song. Well done, sir
Finally, one thing I hate about this is the fact that BBC Radio 1 threw their illigit stamp on it half way through. Come on guys, have some advertising decency. Anyways, here it is:

Dear loyal readers. Why does Annie Mac have such good taste in music but still manage to suck so much on Radio 1? Apparently one of her favorites at the moment is a wonderful little track from our friend Fake Blood. The song is called “I think I like It” and I absolutely love it.

So this just leaked photo is of the Starfields 09 stage at Craigtoun Country Park (we here at Saintandre.ws have seen the location and it’s completely off the hook). I don’t know what to say other then it’s going to be an awesome night. Everyone covered in glitter and neon, going crazy in front of this stage? I mean, come on. What else is there to say. This stage is epic, and tomorrow night is going to be epic too. From what we can see the Starfields 09 team has done a professionally legit job. Just another heads up from your friends at Saintandre.ws. We’ll see you there.

OMG OMG OMG we just got these from Starfields 09. Do you SEEEEE that shit?! Its fucking insane. I wonder how much that must have cost to put together. Probably serious serious cash. I think I’m going to let the photos do the talking for themselves this time.
They’re going to be building 8 more of these:
And stacking them like this:
From the audience point of view.
UPDATE
How sick does the final product look?!

Just imagine: its 12PM, you’re drunk and with all your friends at a colossal rave – the perfect ending to an epic freshers week. You guys have been dancing but you don’t know many of the tracks – a few yeah, but you guess the artists are playing their new stuff. Then, for the first time, you hear this song – The Jack Beats Remix of Drop The Pressure – and who’s dropping it? JACK BEATS THEMSELVES!!!! You hear the melody and the crowd goes wild – everyone is lost in a sea of music alcohol and drugs, you’ve never heard a sound system like this in your life. Endorphins flood you body you’re feeling so good you never want this moment to end. Then to top it off, Jack Beats is gonna throw a beat under it for y’all to thump to. You’re in ecstasy. Yeah, Starfields 09.

So a few days ago, I got sent this track by local St. Andrews artists Mr. Pixel (more commonly known as Josh Lipworth). You have to check this track out. Since then, he has decided he didn’t like the drop and removed it from his soundcloud, but this song is incredible! (including the drop). You all need to check this out. We need to convince him this is something the world needs to hear!

Trust. Just got shot over the DJ Manaia Re-Edit of Jack Beat’s UFO. Its sick, but only through headphones or good speakers. Totally gonna be a banger at the clubs, but not on the ride home.
