Yoo!! 08 is over! im actually happy that this year has come to an end.
Why, you ask?
Really?
2008 was a damn weird year, man. You gotta agree. Just think about it. A lot of unusual shit happened that year with a LOT of people all over the globe.
I know 2009 will be different.
Anyway, give that song a try. Many of you im sure goes straight to that little blue button to pause the song. Not cool. If its TUNE OF THE WEEK, its for a good reason.
Damian Schwartz - Barrunto <- minimalistic to the bones. the afterhours tune for you to play, right here.
just Google "Top 10" and click around. i assure you you are going to be entertained for a couple of hours.
2008 was a GREAT year for electronic music. many BOMBS (capital letters emphasized) came out this year and many people realized that house music needs to be more mainstream (Hannah Montana, people? C'MON!).
I've put together my favorite tracks that came out this year in order, for your leeching pleasure.
1) Ilario Alicante - Vacaciones en Chile <-this tune caught me off-guard. my life hasn't been the same since i first listened to this. alrite, not like that but really.. this track IS my favorite tune to come out in 2008 for many reasons.
2) Henrik B - Surefire <-i will just quote myself from when i first uploaded this tune in the blog: "Not every track starts off good (they usually build up to the 2 minutes mark, then explode), but Surefire by Henrik B manages to start off powerful and end the same way."
3) Marlo - Alpha <- this is one of those to listen when you need that moment. magical (almost hypnotic) melody and pounding bassline makes this track a crowd-pleaser no matter when played.
4) Steve Angello vs Antonie Clamaran - Get Down, Gipsy Woman (Lui Danzi Remix) <-CLEANEST MASH-UP EVER! this track was created by a good friend of mine, Lui Danzi. i've posted a bunch of remixes of his in a recent post (check out his "Vacaciones en Chile Part 2") but this one caught everyone's attention because of the quality of the remix.
5) Sebastien Leger - Cylo <- Sebastien Leger's quiet release of Cylo/Bambou didn't come as quiet as everyone thought. real tech-house DJs/fans already own these tracks and keep them really close to their hearts.
8) Abel Ramos & Miss Melody - Rotterdam City of Love (Axwell Re-Edit) <- this track is still pretty new compared to the rest of the list. it would probably be in a higher spot if i've found it earlier in the year. Axwell is a genius. everybody knows that. This remix just proved me that Axwell's work has no subgenre, he just knows good music.
9) Timo Maas, Santos (Mutant Clan) - Kenesai (Dub Mix) <-this track reminds me of Surefire a lot not because it sounds like it but because of the way it was constructed. Like Surefire, Kenesai starts with the climax and ends just as it started, PERFECT.
10) Gui Boratto & Eyerer - The Beach <- think of this as a rollercoaster. with it's ups and downs. This track has it all when it comes to what a Techno song should sound like.
so, there we have it, folks!
i'm sorry for the lack of NEW tracks. it's the HOLIDAYS!!!! give me a break.
but 2009 is just around the corner and with it comes many new tracks, many new festivals to talk about (ULTRA!!!!!) and more of me talking nonsense.
there will be one last post before the year is over so make sure you check M&HM often.
if you guys feel like typing, i want to hear from you what your favorite tracks of 2008 are. post them under comments!
Amazing track from Marlo (really, DO check his MySpace) called Alpha.
That's it. Alpha.
Alrite, lemme tell ya how i found this track. i first heard this track while smoking a blunt with friends. It was being played by my cellphone's RADIO. YES!!! Sprint has this thing that has TV channels to watch live, full episodes and radio stations. They were playing the whole Bacardi B-Live vol.9 Mixed by Sin Plomo and Dj Pippi in order on the "Up All Night" station.
Great stuff, man.
Im glad i have Sprint! Just for its fucking radio stations.
So, yeah.. here is the track.
Marlo - Alpha <- AMAZING. this is one of those that will have you -for lack of better words- ride the music.
And since it's the holidays, for all the M&HM fans, im throwing in the full Bacardi B-Live vol.9 album.
(none of this is hosted by me, so don't throw rocks at me)
Check out the other tracks part of Ghostly Swim. This album was developed by a number of underground djs together with Adult Swim. the entire album is available to download on their website for FREE.
Make sure you give it a listen.
anyways, Matthew Dear's R+S track is part of this album so you gotta know it's quality.
this time with the bombastic remix of Get Down and Gypsy by Dj Lui Danzi.
Steve Angello vs Antonie Clamaran - Get Down, Gypsy Woman (Lui Danzi Remix) <- this is clearly the best remix for Steve Angello's original. the nail-bitting climax (it's a complement) that will make you scream of joy and that famous melody from the original track makes this track an instant winner in a party.
Your weekend dosage of bombs are in. I'm sure it was a crazy week for everyone so i advise you to take all of the following at once (drink a lot of water!).
They are all Tech-House new releases of extremely high quality. i gotta be quick here so no descriptions. If you come here often you know the quality of the tracks posted at M&HM.
what the hell happened to the feedback in this blog?
Plenty of trailers coming out for the holiday season and next summer.
A new trailer for next summer's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was just released and it's looking nice!
Next up is the trailer for a little movie called Duplicity. It stars the eternal beauty of Julia Roberts and english dude turned cool actor Clive Owen, so it's a win win. This movie has it all, cheek-in-tongue humor, Julia Roberts, good plot, Julia Roberts, and some running around and sneaking.
2012 comes next and it's about.. well.. the end of the world. It's directed by Roland Emmerich, who was also behind movies like 10000 BC, The Day After Tommorow, Independence Day and Godzilla. I'm looking forward to this one.
And like the trailers says, google "2012" to see what the fuzz of this so talked about year is all about.
Oh, Jason Jason Jason.. You and your butcher knife wearing that hockey mask (and probably titanium vest). Can't he rest in peace, already? No. He can't die, remember?
Anyway, the crew behind The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake) is back for another horror movie remake. This time around is Friday the 13th.
Yes Man tells the story of a guy (Jim Carrey!!) that attends a seminar that promises a better life if you change your "NOs" for YES's". But, since it's a comedy and it starts Jim Carrey, unfortunate things start to happen for our viewing pleasure. Oh, and the cutest actress alive Zooey Deschanel is also in the movie!
To me, this movie is like a sequel to his 1997 Liar Liar (which is FUCKING HILARIOUS).
Up is the next Disney-Pixar junction for a better world. No, it's just their next movie for next summer. It tells the story of an 78 years old balloons salesman that fulfills his dream of an adventure by tying up thousands of balloons to his house and flying over to South America.
Your reason to watch it? IT'S IN 3D!!!
I dont know what to get from this trailer, all i know is that Will Smith is going to change 7 people's lives and tie them together. Is it for the good or bad? Does he die? Does anyone dies?
I don't know, but that's why the trailer for Seven Pounds worked for me. It made me wanna watch the damn movie.
Last but not least, it's Angels and Demons. The prequel turned sequel that everyone has been waiting for! (sarcasm) You see, Angels and Demons the book came BEFORE The DaVinci Code book. But since the book it's not as famous as its sequel, the adaption for DaVinci came before Angels and Demons.
Let's just hope it's better than it's prequel (or is it sequel?). The DaVinci Code movie is nothing compared to the quality of the book (yes, i read it too).
I've fixed the width of the blog to accomodate all features into the right places.
- expect more stuff like.. like.. me being focused a little bit more on the movies section of the blog. It is MOVIES and House Music, rite? I'm fixing up some new stuff to click around and a whole new set of updated movie news (that matters), trailers and.. yeah.
Diddy has joined the dark force! He, like many other artists, have realized how beautiful electronic music sounds and clashed with Felix Da Housecat to create this masterpiece.
my last post, "YES WE CAN have some MAJOR BANGERS!" disappeared from the interwebs.
i don't know what happened and i can't seem to find it anywhere on my account. it just simply vanished!
it had some really good tunes that i've been saving and a picture of Obama taking the dirt off his shoulders (literally!). But Blogger decided to be gay and just went ahead and deleted my post.. or something.
i heard this track on the radio the other day. Cato K was playing it on the Y100.7 "Sex Afterhours" and it REALLY caught my attention. i was in a middle of a good conversation when it started playing, i had to tell my friend to hold on a second so i could turn the volume up on my car and record this track on my cellphone.
now i'm here asking IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW THIS TRACK, please let me know ASAP!
This is the work of combined super powers from Timo Maas, Santos and Alessandro Salvatori. Together they formed Mutant Clan (best name ever!).
Mutant Clan - Kenesai (Dub Mix) <- last week's Tune of the Week! (so you know it's good). Impusilve drums with a VERY catchy melody! good from start to end.
for anyone out there that doesn't have it yet. It's like two weeks old, so it's still pretty fresh.
i need to start putting more info about the tracks i post so here we go:
Label: Underworldlive.com Catalog#: UWR0800027 Format: File, Single, MP3 Country: UK Released: 23 Oct 2008 Genre: Electronic Style: Progressive House Credits: Producer - Rick Smith
Written-By - Karl Hyde , Rick Smith Notes: 320 Kbps MP3 files with artwork, sold through underworldlive.com web site.
What makes my head hurt is to think that this is 100% FREE!
If you live in Florida (or anywhere in the US) make sure you come down here and witness this first hand.
Full On Productions have done a great job on past events like last year's AMF and this year's Gemini Music Festival (which we will see again next year).
hello, my fellow fellows! I will first apologize for those who are here everyday for the lack of content in the past week. My bad. In this last week alone i had family issues, money issues and a road trip. It's a bit much for my little brain.
Let's start the week fresh, eh? Here are some highlights for upcoming movies that you should keep a keen eye on.
-Christopher Nolan (director of The Dark Knight if you don't know yet), when asked the golden question; "what's up with Bats 3?" had that to say: "Well ... let me think how to put this. There are two things to be said. One is the emphasis on story. What’s the story? Is there a story that’s going to keep me emotionally invested for the couple of years that it will take to make another one? That’s the overriding question. On a more superficial level, I have to ask the question: How many good third movies in a franchise can people name? [Laughs.] At the same time, in taking on the second one, we had the challenge of trying to make a great second movie, and there haven't been too many of those either. It’s all about the story really. If the story is there, everything is possible. I hope that was a suitably slippery answer."
Pretty good answer. I would come up with a better one, but i'm not Christopher Nolan. Let's just hope that's not it for Christian Bale and crew.
-The new international trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is now available online! I'm pretty sure it was leaked and not supposed to be seen yet, so go WATCH IT before "they" take it out!
-Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is the sequel for that movie with vampires and werewolves and that hot chick Kate Beckinsale woopin' ass. It's out on January 23rd and you can check out the HD trailer HERE.
This sequel looks great and all but there is no Kate Beckinsale!! They've actually replaced her with Rhona Mitra who looks a lot like the real thing.
-Weird man and actor Crispin Glover has joined Johnny Depp in the Tim Burton interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. He is set to play The Knave of Hearts. Other cast members include newcomer Mia Wasikowska (who plays Alice in the movie), Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter.
If you are a local DJ (South Florida) and wants your name all over M&HM, email me some of your work and i will publish it. That is if i like it (just kidding).
sorry for the absence. i've been (trying to stay) busy.
it's nice to see that you guys enjoyed the feel changes made to the blog. i never thought M&HM would grow up to be such a big boy.
This song here is still my favorite for the moment. Not every track starts off good (they usually build up to the 2 minutes mark, then explode), but Surefire by Henrik B manages to start off powerful and end the same way.
get electrified: Henrik B - Surefire <-last 2 weeks (intentionally) Tune of the Week!
back from my day off! thank you everyone who remembered how important yesterday was; the date of celebration of my birthday!
anyway, as promised here is the release for Kiss Me from Dario Nunez and Oscar Nano. Dario Nunez is the DJ you are looking for if you are into really bouncy, tribal house music.
I hope you live in South Florida in times like this. If you don't, there is still a month to save some mula. Get yourself a ticket to Miami and be in the area on November 22.
AMF is just about ready and here is the first set of Djs confirmed to play in one of the many stages.
Aaand i'm back with the last half of (my) best tunes for the month of September. I'm gonna continue the trend and bring some more winning cards to the table.
Well.. what do you know... After youve watched The Doors, by Oliver Stone, drive to your nearest movie theater after October 17 (or Jan. 2, 2009 If you live in Finland...) and be mesmerized by his new film, W.
With so much negative tension surrounding President Bush and official countdowns of his last day in office underway, we will just have to wait and see just what kind of altar this president's head gets put on. Will this change your opinion about the president? Is this his personal message to the "bush-haters." Will he have the last laugh?
Check out this comentary by imdb.com: I just saw this movie, and I cannot imagine a more terrifying, sad, and heartbreaking piece of film existing. this movie is simply devastating. I was sobbing within the first 20 minutes. A young man of 19(who looks about 50)hi-jacks a bus and we see the results of an agonizing life play out before our eyes. It is hard to watch, and hard not to deeply care for Sandro. I cannot put into words how heartbreaking and important this movie is. Sandro's life is irrevocably doomed, and we discover there are thousands almost exactly like him, roaming the streets of Rio, desperate and hungry for any kind of social acknowledgement. It should be required viewing for the human race
i suck at photoshop so all the credit for the new logo goes to Lucas Faulhaber lukaka15@msn.com.
i've saved the best for last. this post is really important for me mainly because my hands been itching to post them earlier. I'm glad i waited 'til now and made a little collection with the tunes that REALLY caught my attention this past month.
As i have said many times; If i had the power i would seriously create a new sub-genre with the name of Afterhours. And if you ask me why just listen to one of these tracks (start with ATFC's Praise to the JB's in case you don't have it yet). This shit here is not your typical house music.
today i come to talk about the poor children living in nations such as Haiti and the Democratic Republic of Congo. For a couple of cents YOU TOO could help a life and little-by-little make this a better world.
But no..
YOU go ahead and waste millions of dollars in stuff like this?
Joblo.com just got their hands on the trailer for Dragon Ball (a La Americana) and it's looking good! ..for teachers of big universities teaching their students of cinematography how to NOT make a movie.
after looking around the blogs to see if there is something that would catch my ears i've noticed that a lot of blogs just throw random tracks like a paperboy without experience.
i know i lack on constant posting, i should be posting more.. way more! but life is not about just sitting in front of a monitor, locked inside four walls without sunshine. so i try my best to post WHAT REALLY MATTERS. tunes that are so damn good that makes my brain itchy and go "damn, this track is HOT! let me upload it..".
anyway, Autumn Music Festival 08 is just around the corner and even though the guys behind this event has not announced the official headlines i can confirm that ROBBIE RIVERA will be part of this year's AMF. which is scheduled for November 22.
oh, and did i mention that this is a FREE EVENT?
check M&HM next week for more info.
but for now, here is some great noise for your pleasure.
Deadmau5 - Slip <-Deadmau5 is not my cup of tea, but this is GOOD! progressive with a housey feel with a beautiful climax.
Ricardo Villalobos - Amazordrum <- more people should know more about this man. his work is just unbeliavable. i've featured his "Infants" tune as a Tune of the Week a while ago and people just wouldn't stop asking for it! This track is really dark and heavy (if you know what i mean). it's exactly what i want.

Director: Stanley Kubrick Release Date: February 2, 1972 First off, (sighs!)Its been a long week.. I had Tests in each one of my classes and after the tests there was a habitual “steam blow OFF”, to relax the body and soul! Its Friday and I’m about to jump on a bus. I will be traveling from the capital Belo Horizonte, 200 kilometers north west, to Curvelo, Minas Gerais. This weekend is special. Its my b-day and I’m nowhere near my friends that were by my side the past 2 years. Life spins us around like we’re a kid’s toy… just pull and let go! I’ve moved half way across the world for some life that seems to suck away at me every year that goes by. That just leaves me reminiscing. The human being is a being always in desire. Hears what im dropping this time. CLOCKWORK ORANGE, Tagline: “Being the adventures of a young man ... who couldn't resist pretty girls ... or a bit of the old ultra-violence ... went to jail, was re-conditioned ... and came out a different young man ... or was he ?” (imdb.com) This 1970’s film has the spirit of the revolutionary 60’s-70’s and is sure to picture some impressing art and fisical beauty. Props out to the director, Stanley Kubrick, which might have been the guy to choose the female participating actors... featured mostly well, undressed, might I add. As soon as you lay your hands on this classic, you are sure to be amazed by one man’s story, Alex Delarge. The scene I’ve chosen pictures Alex & his gang during one of his many break-ins! Enjoy
Interesting Fact: 'Anthony Burgess' originally sold the movie to Mick Jagger for $500 when he needed quick cash. Jagger intended to make it with The Rolling Stones as the droogs.
*Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?
I guess 4 is the lucky number for movies nowadays.
Because Disney just announced that that movie about pirates running around and destroying ships is coming back for a 4th installment. And, yes, the crew is back (including Depp as Sparrow himself).
Not only that but Disney just gave away half of their saved money to have Depp as Toro from Lone Runner and Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland in the upcoming movies.
So yeah, be prepared to see Depp like you see Myles Cyrus stamped around next to Walt Disney's logo.
as you know, i'm all for that banging, sexy, afterhours vibe. but for this post i'm uploading some nice relaxing and trancey tunes. Don't get me wrong, they are still classified as BOMBS and djs can still spin these tracks in between and work on that "roller coaster" pace that every set should have.
Dj Caique Procopio is a growing local dj in the South Florida area who's being getting a lot of respect for his rhythm and knowledge of what to play and when. Caique plays for the love of house music and does a great job at it.

Setlist:
Afrojack - Thief
Steve Angello - Gypsy (Afrojack Remix)
Sharam - Get Wild (Steve Angello Remix)
Ivan D. - Mind Beat

It's a well executed mix with a great pace that will leave you with a Miami aftertaste.
Im not sure why movie "people" make these trailers that are 10x better then the other but here goes a trailer for Blindness that is, as you will see, 100x better!!!
"When I first read the book I thought it could be a great movie. When I heard that the movie was coming out I tried to keep my expectations low to be not disapointed. Last night I saw the movie and it was the most exciting good surprise. For the first time I'm amazed by a movie inspired in a book I've read before. Meireles (and the actors) did a real masterpiece." -Kdubrasil
"The book is FUCKING AWESOME, I can only hope the movie is well adapted, it seems ok from the trailer, but that's the problem when you read the books first.... The role Gael Garcia is playing the kind of ward three, is a nasty bastard, a fiend." -Xubose
AND, of course, Check out the trailer for yourself:
I want to introduce myself. They call me Nick, short for Nicholas. Location: Belo Horizonte-Minas Gerais-Brazil Occupation: Student @ FUMEC University- Advertising Major Hometown: Fort Lauderdale, FL
