How's everyone doing this fine morning?

We here at Avenge The Virgins would like to formally invite you to the inauguration of our Avenge The Virgins mix series this Friday, the 29th of April, at 8 AM Eastern. No need to RSVP, this shit's an open house party. Next level ballroom swag, courtesy of Azamat B.

In the meantime however, we would like to treat you to some great vibes to ease you into the day.

Lil Keke- Southside

Some classic H-Town shit. Screwed Up Click, baby. With a haunting piano line and a creepin' bassline, this is a serious trunk rattlin' anthem.

Serge Gainsbourg- Cargo Culte

One of the greatest musicians of all time. Do yourself a favor and pick-up any of his numerous albums (especially Histoire de Melody Nelson, which this song is taken from). Gainsbourg tried his hand at pretty much every music style he could think of, and still made it sound remarkable. A notorious ladies man, he pretty much bedded a sizeable amount of the most gorgeous women in France. Boss status forever.

Radiohead- Idioteque

It was a pleasant surprise to hear Jackmaster drop this during his set at the Boiler Room this past tuesday. Classic cut from their Kid A album.

Botnek- Dozer (Original Mix)
Botnek- Pop Music (Original Mix)

Botnek have been making some serious moves recently, and their tunes have been championed by none other than influential UK DJs Kissy Sell Out and Jaymo & Andy George, who have played several of their bangers on their respective BBC Radio One shows. These two tunes were recently featured on LA blog Gotta Dance Dirty, and I am extremely impressed by how dope they are. Both members of Botnek are now installed in Montreal, and are ready to set the city aflame with their brand of steamroller-heavy and extremely melodic electro. Keep your eyes out for their upcoming Plonk EP, scheduled to be released on one of the hottest labels at the moment, Discobelle Records. Some of the best Canadian club music out there at the moment.

It's all about the love.
