Wreckin’ Decks N’ Gettin’ Sex
Feb 9th
DJ Toaster is back! I’ve been focusing on my live sets more heavily in the last year, so I took a bit of a break from making albums. My newest mix, “Wreckin’ Decks N’ Gettin’ Sex” is full of filthy electro house smashes as well as 1 a.m. dance floor anthems strung together at a feverous pace. Santogold, LCD Soundsystem, Smashing Pumpklins, Usher, Basshunter, and tons more.
As for the name, it’s a reference to a “Law & Order – SVU” episode. It’s DJ Dizzer’s life motto! I’d say it’s a pretty good motto to follow 
The Dance Party Megamix: Part 2
Feb 8th
A Fast paced, bangin hip-hop and electro mash-up mix. Contains 30 or so tracks mixed and remixed together in a nonstop frenzy of dance insanity. Another perfect mix to throw on if you want to fill up the dance floor, this mix is fairly similar sylisticially to “A Night Out,” but contains for the most part a bit more dated music and classics. I made this one in the last few months of 2007.
Electro
Feb 8th
This is a more traditional mix from 2007 with mostly full length tracks and not as much manipulation by me. “Electro” outlines the recent craze in house music to go back to it’s roots in distorted synth riffs, NES style bleeps and bloops, and hard hitting beats that will keep you dancing long into the night. 10 songs and :40, it’s the shortest mix up here, and also one of my favorites that I’ve ever made. Contains songs and remixes by Daft Punk, Justice, Eric Prydz, Starkillers, and more.
Yuksek tears it up on new album

Yuksek, a new contender in the electro-house battle
Yuksek is the newest contender in the french-electro-nu disco-house explosion that’s going on right now. While he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia entry about him yet, his music places him with the likes of Daft Punk, Justice, MSTRKRFT, Boyz Noize, and Chromeo. Yuksek brings his own flair to the traditional screaming synth lines and glitchy fuckup beats that we’ve all grown to love so much over the past few years.
