Would you dance with me at 12:02?

While Discodust is still my main go-to music blog - for its consistency and conciseness - I've been checking out many other ones in my extended bookmark collection this past week. Among the many singular gems that I've found (maybe to-be-featured in an upcoming personal mix), there were a few full-on mixes that were pretty dope as well.

For example, the guys at the Missingtoof blog posted this kickass "12:02 Mix" from LA-based DJs, After Midnight:

1. True Pseudo - Freakin’ Me Out
2. New Young Pony Club - The Bomb (Villains Xplosive Mix)
3. Death From Above 1979 - Sexy Results (MSTRKRFT Edition)
4. Cryptonites - I Can’t Give You Up (Kill The Noise Remix)
5. Villains - Rock It
6. Chromeo - Needy Girl (Vandalism Mix)
7. Atlantic Connection - Rocksteady (LA Riots Shake it All Night Remix)
8. Surkin - White Knight Two
9. Marlena Shaw - California Soul (Diplo/Mad Decent Remix)
10. LA Riots - If I Could (feat. Jadis)
11. Apollo 440 - Dude Descending a Staircase (feat. The Beatnuts)
12. The Black Ghosts - Any Way (Fake Blood Mix)
13. The Frail - Addiction (After Midnight Remix)
14. Codebreaker - Exiled (Miami Horror Remix)
15. Michael Jackson - Thriller (Laidback Luke Remix)
16. Basement Jaxx - Where’s Your Head At? (2008 Robbie Riviera Mix)
17. The Count & Sinden - Beeper (feat. Kid Sister) (A-Trak Remix)
18. Kaysh - Drug Induced Sex (Kid Dub Loves Kinky Sex Mix)
19. After Midnight vs. True Pseudo - Roshambo (Original Mix)
20. Klaas - The Way (Klaas Hype Mix)
21. Edison Gem - Things Change (Villains Remix)
22. Orbital - Halcyon & On & On (Original Mix)

Goddamn.. it just starts off so awesome; I need to look up these True Pseudo guys! And then they throw down tracks from all the of-the-moment remixers like Vandalism and LA Riots.. real party selections. Basically, the first 25 minutes are incredible.

Hmm.. although the mix does lose me a little bit at track 11; it definitely changes vibe, which is totally cool.. it's just not totally up my alley. Yeah, it gets a little Miami-y or something; does that make sense? haha. From that point onwards, the only track that stands out for me is the Klaas Hype Mix of "The Way", which kicks in (way-late) for one last bit of rockin' before an 8 minute Ibiza-style cool-down (like, huh?).

Overall, this mix will bring you through quite a range of music/vibes.. like I said, the first 25 minutes will get you going on the dancefloor; and if you're already there, the rest of the mix will keep you there (although maybe not bring you out there on its own). This first introduction to After Midnight was, like I said, a highlight of the past month of mixes. Yeah, so if they ever come up to San Francisco, I'll definitely be checking them out! Read more (and download the mix in its 320kbps glory) straight-up at the source, Missingtoof.

On a related note, the guys at Missingtoof are San Francisco-area DJs/promoters (with some ties to LA) that put on a bunch of well-known parties here (and there); check their blog for all the info.
