For this week’s Mixtape Monday, I came across Dj Loveboat mix, ‘Cotonete’.  Not much is known about Dj Loveboat and it may safe to assume his alias has nothing to do with Aaron Spelling’s show.  I did, however, find out that this mixtape was originally dropped on March 23rd in support of Breaklda’s 4th year as a record label.   The playlist consists of bangers, electro pop hits along with a few reworks by Mr. Loveboat himself.  Have a listen and dl the mix here.  Truthfully, I was intrigued as to how Appaloosa’s single, ‘The Day We fell In Love‘  fits into the equation.

Here’s the first official video for U2’s first single “Get On Your Boots” from their upcoming 12th album No Line on the Horizon which is scheduled to be released on March 3rd. The video is directed by Alex Courtes who’s also done videos for Daft Punk, Kylie Minogue, Franz Ferdinand as well as previously working with U2 as well.

Howell Evans from U2 said that the video is “based around the idea that men have f***ed things up so badly, politically, economically and socially.” He added, “That it’s really time we handed things over to women. The finished video is brilliant. (Alex) really nailed it.”

Pre-order the album for only $9.00 at Amazon.com.

MSTRKRFT (read as “Master-Kraft”) is an electronic group out of Toronto. Actually this year at the Toronto Virgin Music Fest they replaced SebastiAn, when he missed his flight and they didn’t disappoint. The group came together in 2005 and consists of JFK (Jesse F. Keeler) and Al-P (Alex Puodziukas). The group has remixed over 30 songs of various genres including the latest remix of John Legend’s song “Green Light”.

On Friday I attended Fist Of God, which is the official name for the MSTRKRFT tour as well as their upcoming album, which is expected to drop in January of 2009. The stop I was at had Felix Cartal opening up, but there will be various openers throughout the tour such as DJ A-Trak, DJ Aoki, LA Riots, Congorock, DJ Assault and the aforementioned Felix Cartal. Blueprint Events, which is known as one of Vancouver’s best electronic promoters for a minute now, was hosting the event as well as the after party.

The event took place at Celebrities Night club and was fully packed, in fact this show could have easily taken place at Commodore Ballroom to accommodate more folks, but nonetheless the vibes were good as people were ready to dance their fuckin’ asses off. The duo came on at around 1am and they immediately had the crowd going crazy, as their sound is fairly distinct with that 4/4 beat and heavy heavy synths.

Like usual they played a range of stuff including their own remixes, from the Presets to Dem Franchise Boyz to Cupid to Daft Punk to Usher to Kylie Minogue and throwing in stuff from their first album as well. The set was filled with energy throughout and both MSTRKRFT and the crowd seemed to be feeding off of one another and it was non-stop. The set ended at about 2:30am, but an encore had JFK continue to rock the house til well past 3am. If you left this party not soaked from head to toe in sweat, then you my friend were not partying hard enough. Overall one word can describe this set. EPIC!

Thanks to Alvaro from Blueprint Events for hooking me up with the opportunity to attend the show. For more of their upcoming events check out www.blueprintevents.ca. For those out in New York on October 10th, MSTRKRFT will be playing at Webster Hall, but they’ll also be at the New Era Flagship store as they have a New Era collaboration that’s dropping.
