I was fortunate enough to get out to Cottage Country™ over the last few weeks for some much needed break from internet/studio/city/etc before the inevitable return to the madness that is fall (thanks to darcy and ryan).

If you’re in Toronto this weekend, I will be doing a DJ set at Cherry Beach on Sunday evening. I often find that people don’t know what to expect from a DJ set of mine. This is normal as I am into alot of different shit and so I like to adapt to the type of crowd/venue/time I am playing. So when the organizers asked me what I was going to play, I decided to make a mix that reflected the idea of playing in a forest enclosure next to a beach…on drugs.
Grahmzilla’s Tropical Frogs mix:
Daniel Steinberg – Bailando
Roundtable Knights – Calypso
Butch – Monkey Drums
Sascha Braemer – Go Loco
Andreas Henneberg – Bolingo Grigo
Quintino – Heaven (Belocca Dub Mix)
Claude Van Stroke – Vocal Chords
Pleasurekraft – Tarantula
Tim Green – Old Sunshine
Marshall – The Words of Wine
DJ Gregory – Con Alegria (Solo More Cowbell Mix)
Jan Driver – Tellyfoam
Diplo & Laidback Luke – Hey (Nadastrom Hot Latin Dub)
Bassanovva – Chicken Lover

So I first heard Julio Bashmore‘s stuff a few weeks ago on CIUT in Toronto. I basically lost it because the song in question sounded so similar to my Edu K remix that I had recently dropped. I actually emailed him to tell him because it was freaking me out and wanted him to hear it and to know that I never heard Moth People until after I had put out the remix. He ended up writing back that he didn’t really think they sounded the same but that he was into it. Right on! Here’s a mix he did for Vice which will give you a good idea of what he’s all about.
1. Deadboy – “Heartbreaker (Julio Bashmore Remix)”
2. Cooly G – “Love Dub”
3. Deadboy – “U Cheated”
4. Julio Bashmore – “Around”
5. Son of Aphrodite – “Vibrations”
6. DJ Sneak – “Fix My Sink”
7. Blackjoy – “Untitled (Solid Groove Remix)”
8. Mosca – “Gold Bricks, I See You”
9. L-Vis 1990 – “United Groove (Baobinga and I.D Remix)”
10. LV & Untold – “Beacon (Mount Kimbie Remix)”
11. Breach – “Fatherless”
12. Julio Bashmore – “Um Bongo’s Revenge”

Just made this for upcoming gigs and because, shit, it’s been AGES since I made any sort of mix. I have two more coming this week. Watch me! This is the first time I’ve done a uk funky/kuduro/tropical mix and I had a bunch of stuff I had to leave out so there’ll probably be a part two soon. Feel free to share this with your friends.
edit: I should probably mention this was put together on the train in Ableton. I have no qualms in admitting that. Most of the time that’s the only means I have at my disposal. But I WILL be doing some real-time DJ mixes now that I have a table-mixer setup at home for the first time in years.

Douster is the fucking man! We met in Paris when we happened to play at the Social Club the same night. He proceeded to play the craziest face-melter set that fusioned kuduro, cumbia, the dinosaur from lost, raggaeton, nintendo and all kinds of other good shit. This is a new podcast he made for XLR8R before his debut album comes out in October on ZZK called Triassic Genesis. It features a remix I just made for Jubilee and Udachi called Paypur, as well as other fam such as ISA GT, Poirier, L-vis 1999 and Gucci Vump.

Graham Douglas Bertie is a producer / composer / songwriter from Montreal, Canada now residing in Toronto. In his short career, he’s already made important contributions to dance music under several different projects and contributions.
He began exploring production work as Thunderheist, a solo project that quickly became a duet consisting of himself as producer and vocalist Isis. The group immediately garnered an enormous buzz, seeing a release on Big Dada and touring worldwide.
Thunderheist parted ways in 2010, giving him a chance to explore new avenues. Firstly, a collaborative EP released on Grizzly Records in 2010 with Miami-based artist Jubilee as Bassanovva.
Since then, he has been developing a multi-genre electronic project using the moniker Nautiluss. With a debut EP released this past September on hotly-tipped Hemlock Recordings and having just recently signed with Montreal-based Turbo Recordings for a full-length album, 2012 is sure to be a banner year.
