I am not from the south

But I LOVE this track. This covers every aspect of summer, even up north. Windows down on a gorgeous sunny day, sunglasses on. Driving around the city at night, rolling into your favorite night spot. Partying by the beach, at a houseparty, in a club. This is one of those anthemic catch-all tracks, sort of a club-friendly alternative to The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” or MGMT’s “Time To Pretend.” Yes, I just made the comparison. Now listen, damnit.

Rochester’s Anthem

Emilio Rojas, a Rochester-born rapper who attended the University of Rochester for at least a year, is responsible for one of the best city-anthems I’ve heard in a while (not that I’ve heard many). His track, “The 585,” is a shout-out for his hometown that praises our landmarks like the Klassy Kat gentlemen’s club. Below is a rough quality version.

“It’s the Roc ya’ll, the Roc ya’ll, and you know we’re headed to the top ya’ll.” You can bet your ass I’ll be rocking this at every UR party I play as soon as I manage to find a better quality version.

New Chew-Fu Fix

Chew-Fu does it again, my friends. Last time, he remixed “Love Lockdown” to deep house perfection, and this time he’s back with a “Festival” refix of King’s of Leon “Use Somebody.”

The sound is pretty massive, and it’s definitely one of the best Kings of Leon remixes yet, check it out below:
