M3 Volume 16… Available Now
Things have been slow here this week, but I’m home for the holidays and that’s just how it is. As much as I loathe Thanksgiving itself (the result of a general disdain for both turkey and the vast majority of my extended family), it’s definitely nice to get away from New York for a minute. DC has never been better and there’s honestly nothing more enjoyable than going around your room and accidentally stumbling across all the stuff you had to hide from your parents in high school (read: cigarettes, drug paraphernalia, condoms, illegal immigrants, etc.), but the best thing about being back in the Chocolate City is being reunited with my car and its iller-than-ill soundsystem. Gary and I took the Chariot 2.0 on a mid-atlantic university tour through Virginia and North Carolina over the weekend and you better believe I was rockin’ this mix the whole way.

Comprised predominantly of slammin’ rock and electro tracks that are ideal for driving at absurd speeds on dark highways, M3 Volume 16 is undeniably the hotness. With a nice array of tracks including well-established cuts from Test Icicles, the Strokes and Bloc Party, and more recent favorites from the likes of Danger, Fortune, and the Author, the mix is dropping heat all over the place. With Les Savy Fav bringing the fucking rock on “Slugs In The Shrubs” and “Raging In The Plague Age” at one end of the spectrum and Ghosthustler, Calvin Harris and Danger keeping it shit-hot at the other end with some bangin’ electronics, Vol. 16 has got it all. Looking past the more recognizable names on the tracklist, definitely don’t sleep on the excellent cuts from These New Puritans, Damn Shames and Late of the Pier either, and those of you who already wrote “Flux” off weeks ago (yeah, that was me too) would be wise to give it another chance because the 12″ version is 100% off the chains, owning the original in every possible way.
