It's no secret that around the land of Beastonia, we swoon for all things associated with Annie Mac, her mixes, her radio show and her influence on today's top artists. We've featured many of the 5 minute mini mixes that are put together for her BBC Radio1 show by some of today's noted notables.


Most recently, Ms. Mac enlisted three of the hottest cats on the scene to pump out their blend of new, old and original tunes in their own unique 5 minute segments.

First up is Riton, who can apparently not make anything less than a super amazing mix these days, with a raving run through some of the best dance music you need in one package. Up next, Kid Sister takes us through some of her own tunes, a Green Velvet favorite and some deep Chicago house. Finally, Dizzee Rascal jumps on board with Semtex for a grimily grand mix.

Kid Sister included Sonique's It Feels So Good in her mix, which basically brings us to the scene of this beast, playing the track, on repeat. And now you can too.

Kissy Sell Out is no, well, sell out. Pardon our lack of varying terms...it's early here in Beastonia! The December issue of Mixmag comes out next Thursday, complete with a minimix from the Bethnal Green boy...which, apparently, has been a carreer accomplishment he'd always wanted to achieve.


This upcoming issue features a festive-flavored mix from the Radio 1 DJ and we've got a 3 track minimix teaser to whet your precious appetites. Here are the first three tracks (in one solid file) for you as a sneak preview...paired with Kissy's commentary on why the selection of each.

1. Kissy Sell Out - Joanna *Exclusive*
"The 4th family-inspired instrumental I've written, the unusual rhythm gives the dancefloor a big jolt!"

2. Skunk Anansie - Hedonism (Kissy Sell Out Remix)
"I've been a fan since school so when Skin asked me to do a remix I jumped at the chance!"

3. Dub Pistols - I'm In Love (Foamo Remix)
"Yet another strong remix from my boy Foamo"

In just under 10 minutes, KSO gets our morning moving and gooving. Grab the teaser below and stay tuned for the full mix next week!

Last year, one of the first people to reach out to the Beast was the quickly "favorited" and "lovingly adored" Athens, GA dude, Immuzikation. Ever since initial contact, we knew that there would never be any doubts to his eternal existence on the site. He's THAT good.


And so, you may be wondering, why have there been no Immuzikationally influenced posts in the past few months or so. Well, duderman has been quite busy in touring, traveling, and turning it out behind the turntables on a regular basis. Today, that all changes.

Here's the deal. The Mixed In Key DJ Contest challenged any submitter to showcase their favorite music genre in a 10-15 minute mix. Judges include Kaskade, Paul Oakenfold and Pete Tong, among others. While you can't vote, you CAN revel in the insane radity that is his nearly quarter-hour long blend. It's basically one of the best minimixes you'll hear all year. SERIOUSLY.

You can stream or download the entire mix here. Or you can jump below this massively extensive, and "timed out oh my god it's so easy to follow along" track list and hit the mp3 link I've provided for you. Options are sweet.

One of the raddest new tag teams in house music is Duck Sauce, more commonly known as A-Trak and Armand Van Helden. And not only do they make killer mixes, but the boys have teamed up this month to offer Mixmag an exclusive mix.

The new issue of Mixmag (with huge Duck Sauce supporter Annie Mac on the cover) hits news stands on September 17th. And while you wait for said printed type and sounds, here’s a three track appeteaser for you to nibble on.

We've made no bones about our love of the 5 minute minimixes that a handful of rad dj's and musicians put together for legendary Briton, Annie Mac. And you best believe, we've got another one to add to your/our collection today!

NOTE: If you're not already following me on twitter, I suggest you get to steppin'!

Jane Bang was one of the first artists we ever wrote about here in Beastonia. And while we've continued to feature certain works from the little lady with the lightning lips, she's been jetsetting, recording and dj'ing, so we haven't brought you anything super new...UNTIL TODAY.


Segueing from her electro hip-hop steez into strict dj sets, Bang has been performing both live and behind the mixers throughout Europe and the US over the past few months.

She recently put together a track list of fire that immediately rises to the top of my hall of fame minimixes of the year.

I've kind of strayed from posting anything about N.A.S.A. They are one of the acts that fall into the category of "superfluously oversaturated within the blogosphere' types, hence why would I just keep pouring into an already overflowing cup. Did that make sense?

Has it really been since September that I've posted anything on Miss Kittin and the Hacker? Shame, shame, shame on me.


The electroclash duo puts their freak natured side on the backburner and let loose a very polished and perfected angle on TWO, the pair's new release. The album mixes metallic soul, glam disco, glossy vocals and clear, bright beats. TWO will be released on May 19, 2009.

The new video for their single, 1000 Dreams, shows fans an intimate glimpse of the duo through provocative close ups and minimalist shots.

Miss Kittin and The Hacker will tour extensively in 2009, and will be hitting the U.S. this fall.
