SURFPUNX: Year 2012 - Feb-Brewin'

Most mixes created by our own Es Digga Tee start in similar fashion. While working around the house or driving to music set on "Play All", songs pop out of nowhere and demand your appreciation. Songs of this nature are what drive most DJ's to do their jobs, the melodies and tones created simply require an audience to enjoy them. It's one or two of these songs that often anchor the concept of each mix.

For this week's mix two idioms were followed. Jamiroquai's "Loveblind" was the initial inspiration with its eclectic arrangements, slow breakdown in the middle, but most importantly the undeniable beat and boogie the melody provides. One cannot help tap to the beat. The other inspiration was the RE:Generation Music Project featuring the talents of Mark Ronson, Skrillex, DJ Premier, Pretty Lights, & The Crystal Method.

SURFPUNX: The Mixes - One For My Baby

To celebrate Valentine's Day 2012 I thought it'd be nice to post a mix for all of the lovers out there. Press play and relax to the soothing sounds of artists from yesterday, today, and tomorrow as they sing some of your favorite love songs.

Created a few months back this mix was created especially for the love of my life. It matters little that this mix was created for one person as the two hour mix goes from Dru Hill to Lil Wayne, Aretha to The Beatles, Elton John to Dr. John and more. Each song exudes one simple feeling. Unending love, in it's various forms.

SURFPUNX: Year 2012 - Let's Warm This Up a Bit


While the winter months continue to pile on cold weather, (it seems mother nature forget to bring the snow this year) we struggle to keep the blood flowing in our bodies buried beneath blankets and sweaters. I say NAY! Let's pop on this mix and progress from head bobbing, to feet tapping, to torso swaying, right onto legs standing, and before you know it you've been dancing two and half hours wrapping up up the celebration with Kurt Cobain backed by some French House beats.

We've pieced together some remixes and mash-ups of your favorite Top 40 songs from yesterday, today and tomorrow. We're back in the mix after a hiatus of a few months. We hope to be back giving you mixes to listen to on a regular basis. Thanks for following our work and we can't wait to more of what we've been working on! 

Press play and get that body moving to "Let's Warm This Up a Bit - A Mid-Winter Heater!"

Our 20 Favorite Halloween Movies

Holiday movies. It seems that this is the only time of year we welcome the talents of teen and child actors in droves. At no other part of the year is one half of Hollywood's viled co-workers so welcomed. ("Never work with children or animals." W.C. Fields) The holiday season is a time where the family can go to the cinema together and enjoy rather wholesome delights at the cineplex. Halloween is the first of said holiday season and we take a look at twenty of our favorite films to watch under the Hunter's moon.

A specific caveat must be mentioned with this list. We're not fans of the horror genre. That being said, it eliminates what many people consider to be staples in the Halloween movie collection, like the film Halloween itself or any slasher/gore flick for that matter. We derive our list more from the former mention of family-friendly films. However, our list isn't all Disney-fied or happy go lucky. There are some films that skew the lines between horror, comedy and thriller. Enjoy!

SURFPUNX: The Mixes - Summer's Send-Off

Happy Labor Day Weekend!! For this final soiree of summer we've put together a little something to send it off into the sunset. Cast the memories of Summer 2011 off to sea with song. The Foo, Pearl Jam & The Smashing Pumpkins kick it off with a rock and roll flavor. The Doors live, Joe Walsh and Wilson Pickett help the elder crowd faintly remember summers of yore. Ratatat & then Redman, backed by Reverend Al Green, help get the party back to recent times.

A DJ Mei-Wun mash-up of Nelly & Lynyrd Skynyrd, old-school Warren G, & a drop from Lil Wayne's last mixtape give the mix a 'lil mo flava'. Summer kicks from Gaga and Kid Rock bring the party into full swing ready to hit the dancefloor.

Enter DJ BC and his mash-up of Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott & Madonna, Alexander Robotnick's "Problèmes d'Amour" from A-Trak's '09 Infinity+1, and mash-up stars Loo & Placido's "Superstar". Follow that with Mike Posner's club hit "Cooler than Me", Cheekyboy, and another club hit in 2 Eivissa & David Tavare's "Hot Summer Night". 

Wrap it all up in a neat Love Rollercoaster care of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and place a timeless classic in The Doors' "Summer's Almost Gone" and you have yourself our very own Es Digga Tee's latest, "Summer's Send-Off."
