Brenmar: Paper Running

One of my favorite producers, Brenmar, just released this tune for free, and it is predictably AWESOME.

Brenmar- Paper Running

Here's a few other amazing/bizarre tunes to get you through the day. It's sunny outside, so forget about any run-on sentences and pretentious descriptions.

Throw these on your ipod and enjoy the vibes. Get some fresh air and appreciate life, people.

fuck off monday

For more art, check out Michael C. Hsiung

Not too sure why I still hate Mondays, I practically have nothing to attend to except a half-retarded roman empire class. Nevertheless, I must've grown accustomed to despising Monday's which could explain why I'm still in bed.

Let's start this one off with some new DJ Sega material. He recently decided to switch the game up and started his DJ Sega Sixer Series. As he puts it : 

"Fuck puttin out a mixtape...if everybody's doin it, i wanna be different!!!!
Plus I just did one already...RYEot PowRR comin to you really soon!!!!
I'm presenting to you with my 6-pack mini-mixtape collection!!!!"

DJ Sega Sixer Series Vol. I by DJSega

I don't really have a choice to keep following the Sixer Series... Sadly, a six-pack simply doesn't suffice anymore. Oh and these are some quality songs! Riot Music & Miami to Atlanta to Philly are some serious heat and I'd be stoked to hear Brenmar get on that Beyonce song the same way Sega does. Here's the tracklist for those interested and his remix of Runaway!

1.) riot music - (donaeo + skream x dj sega remix)
2.) mia to atl to phl - (pryda x dj sega remix)
3.) music sounds better with you - (stardust x dj sega remix)
4.) why don't you love me - (beyonce x dj sega remix)
5.) runaway - (kanye west x dj sega remix)
6.) u don't like me - (diplo + lil jon x dj sega remix)
*(free sample bottle of the first track on the next 6-pack!!!!)
7.) rock dem hornz sega - (dj sega)


On a different note, Brenmar murdered it Blue Dog last Friday for Boomclap. Putting on one of the hottest, dirtiest, most grind-worthy set I've experienced in a goddamn while. For those in Montreal, this is undoubtedly the naughtiest weekly event going on in our city right now. Big ups to Markus G. & Sinjin Hawke on providing steady heat each week & N.B.G. for throwing this wild party.


Lil' B The Based God - Ellen Degeneres


Soulja Boy - Pretty Boy Swag (Diplo & Munchi Moombahton Remix)


To wrap this one up nice n' tight, check out Toddla T's Moombahton mix for BBC Radio1. With a guest mix by the creator of the movement, Dave Nada. Full of awesomeness to satisfy your musical needs.

Once again, all respect due to Liza Lacroix.

I'll keep it rather short this afternoon. I know how busy you guys are.

Damu - LED (Jim-E Stack Remix) by JIM-E STACK

This is a brand new Jim-E Stack remix, so hot off the presses you can see the fumes. This San Francisco-born, New Orleans-based producer is definitely starting off 2011 on the right foot, with a slew of dope originals and remixes in the works. He even made an exclusive new mix for The Fader, which is all sorts of dope. They call it "manic, subversive, renegade, really young", and you can grab it at the end of the post if you so desire.

To be honest, I have no fucking clue what to call his music besides club music, but that's quite alright. Jim-E Stack's productions transcend genres, but have a metric ton of swagger as their common trait. This might be my favorite remix of his so far, as well. He warps Damu's futuristic UK Funky monster into a tornado of tribal rhythm, futuristic synth lines, progressive house energy and a bizarre sample that sounds like someone pulling their cheek. Fuck yeah. I've been listening to it on repeat for the past hour, raving alone in my room with the volume and the bass cranked up. So rad. Jim-E-Stack will blow up in 2011, mark my words.

Jamie Foxx- Fall for your type(Brenmar remix)

Brenmar is the don of club music at the moment. He's probably one of the artists we've posted about the most on Avenge The Virgins, for a damn good reason. He's a forward-thinking, innovative producer and DJ, and has released a crapload of high quality originals and remixes (Rihanna, NGUZUNGUZU, Cassie, Teengirl Fantasy and more) in the past year that have gotten airplay from tons of DJs.

The original Fall For Your Type is a personal fave, but Brenmar does it justice. And by that I mean that his remix is better than the original, and I can't help thinking that Brenmar needs to start working with vocalists, pronto. He's got a great handle on the r&b steez, I think. This is sexy, champagne-soaked music to procreate to.

Reminder for Montreal peeps: Brenmar is playing at Blue Dog Motel tonight. Pure vibes til' the early morn.

Luther Vandross- If only for one night

Perfect. There's nothing quite like great soul music to set the mood. Luther will be forever known as a boss. If, like me, you were born in the eighties, you might have been a by-product of Luther Vandross' panty-peeling voice. Actually, that's pretty unsettling. This is grown folk music.

Erick Rincon & Sheeqo Beat- Kink

J'adore 3ball aka Trival Guarachero aka Trival aka the sound of the future. More on that next week. Monterrey stay up.

Here's the aforementioned Jim-E Stack mix, and a few videos to distract you until our next post.

Mix 4 The Fader by JIM-E STACK








Enjoy the weekend.

la belle vie

Que pasta, motherfuckers.

Time for more music. I tried to mix it up a bit for you this morning. I hope that you appreciate these tunes as much as I do.

Smith Westerns- Be My Girl

Quirky, fun lo-fi garage pop. Awkward and loveable.

Ignition- Beer

My cousin sent this over to me a few weeks ago, and I figured I'd throw it up. Ignition are a band from the South Shore of Montreal, a ragged bunch of 15-16 year olds who enjoy playin gigs and making solid rock music. I think this is a cover, but it was charming and catchy enough that I thought I'd share it with you.

Jan Driver- Gain Reaction (Now streaming only)

Jan Driver – Gain Reaction by MDMAwesome

Jan Driver is a talented producer out of Germany, who released this on Boys Noize Records recently. This absolute behemoth of a tune is a mix of jacking house, techno rhythms, and electro buildups. The bass and the melody are ridiculous haunting, and I don't believe that any mammal could resist grooving to this. Take my word for it.

Miike Snow- Silvia

Miike Snow, of course, are the shit. Some might say that they are overhyped, but I've been re-discovering their self-titled album. It's two years old, but the dreamy melodies and catchy hooks have aged well. Of course, the Felix the Housecat and the Sebastian Ingrosso and Dirty South remixes are surefire dancefloor obliterators, but I really dig the emotional vocals and the synth work in the original. And it's quite the fitting soundtrack to this morning, staring out of an 18th floor office building at the dark skyline of Montreal. Night shifts do have their perks.

Stinj- Vara Lubirii (Brenmar remix)

Honestly, Brenmar is probably the producer that pops up the most in this space. Besides being a genuinely nice dude (then again, I only met him for like 15 minutes, but I digress), his material is getting exponentially more dope as time goes on. His productions are make-out music for the future, sensual stratosphere salvos that burn up any speaker, warm body or dancefloor within their blast radius.

Young L- Big Money



Nuff said, really. The genius behind The Pack, the originator of the BASED sound, the self-proclaimed King of Fruity Loops, the mighty Young Legend. His raps may not be terribly on-point, but no one could rap on these bizarre future beats as well as he does. It just fits.


See you tomorrow, with the first LAID BACK SUNDAY of 2011.

rather peculiar

Good evening, chaps and chapettes.

Avenge The Virgins is now officially 1 year old. What a strange ride it has been so far. Your support over the past year has been more than appreciated, and here's to a many other birthdays. Well, actually, now that I think about it...If in another year we haven't made any power moves, and thrown at least one show, I'm getting the fuck out of Dodge. Screw you guys.

All of the artists I'm posting about tonight have already been featured a few times on Avenge The Virgins, so dig into the archives for more of their great stuff. I ain't gonna spoon feed it to you.

Botnek- Ray Bans (Original Mix)

This is some damn fine high-powered bubbling house, with a Canadian twist. Botnek's productions are getting better by the minute, and one of their tunes was recently featured on Keith & Supabeatz's mix for Southern Fried Records.

I know I probably say this a lot, but...big tings, Botnek. Big tings indeed. Ray Bans is a surefire party anthem, people. Get familiar. Hit up their soundcloud for a few previews of their upcoming productions, which are sounding pretty awesome.

Foals- Blue Blood (Prince Club remix)

Do you guys remember our feature on Mad Kids? That talented MTL tech-house duo that is making huge waves in the house scene? Well, after their set at Piknic Electronik this summer opening for Riva Starr, they changed their name to Prince Club.

I, for one, welcome this change. (Plus their new logo is mondo rad). They hit us up today with a bit of info on their upcoming projects, and a few tunes, so we've decided to share one of them with you. They've still got that great groovy techy vibe, but the new productions almost seem more...cinematic/epic and john williams-y? I perhaps have no clue what I'm going on about, but this is some of the coolest tech house I've heard in quite a while.

Underworld- Always loved a film (Club Cheval club remix)

Club Cheval is, as we've gone over so many times before, made up of massively talented producers Myd, Canblaster, Panteros666 and Sam Tiba. If you claim that you love electronic music and that you love to party, then it is certain that you've either heard one of their tunes or heard their influence in some of your favorite artists' recent tunes.

This collective of somewhat unhinged Frenchmen masterfully blend a mix of frantic rave music with ethno-tribal rhythms, with dancehall, hip-hop and gabber thrown into the mix. I really dig their steez, mainly because it sounds refreshing and fun, I suppose. I'm pretty sure these guys will gain more notoriety/exposure as time goes on, but in the meantime, you should really drink the Kool-Aid. It's good for you.

Groove Theory- Tell Me (Brenmar House Mix)

Bynie and myself saw Brenmar throw it down with Kid Aloha & LOL Boys at Blizzarts two weeks ago, and his set was great. While I heard that the following night at Blue Dog Motel was a bit more intense, Brenmar's special blend of sexy r'n'b club remixes definitely hit the spot. Seeing him at Velvet would be really dope, to be honest, because his style of djing/production goes well with laid-back, intimate venues. Next generation baby-makin vibes.

I'd just need to tone down the drinking/smoking next time he comes back to Montreal, though haha. Twas one of those 'stare at the bar and grunt' nights, sadly. Still, good times were had by all....Oh, and this song's dope, by the way.

Bynie's got a huge Kill Halloween post lined up for you tomorrow afternoon. Keep your eyes peeled, kiddos.

on to the next one

Picture is of a REVOK & NORM (MSK,AWR, 7th Letter) piece that was commissioned for the Montreal Stock Exchange.

Today's post is going to feature something we're going to try and do a lot more of, which is promoting parties in our hometown of Montreal. We've been awfully lazy these past few months in terms of hitting shows, but now that autumn has officially kicked off, our schedule is lookin' packed. We're trying to get more involved in the local scene, so expect us to promote a lot more Montreal shows in the future. The events that we'll be showcasing today are free (aka NO COVER), which is all sorts of rad. Can't argue with that. The only problem is that both happen to be on the same night. I'm going to be hitting both of them, and I invite you to do the same. They're honestly a 10 minute walk from each other. I've included all the necessary info, as well as a few songs to give you a little taste of what you'll hear on these nights.


Footworkin' # 4


*TIME & DATE: Thursday October 14th, from 10 pm to 3 am
*WHERE: Blizzarts (3956a St-Laurent blvd)
*PRICE: Free
*WHO:
- Brenmar (USA)
- LOL Boys(USA/MTL)
- Azamat B (MTL)
- Kid Aloha (MTL)

Footworkin' is a monthly party that Markus from LOL Boys, Azamat B & Kid Aloha throw at the little Blizzarts bar on St-Laurent. They play a very varied selection of music throughout the night, which can go from rnb to house to rap to 2step to juke to whatever. If it makes your ass shake and gets your hands in the air, then they're bound to play it. I've only been to one of these nights so far, the previous one, but it was a great event. Blizzarts is a rather small bar, but it has a very intimate feel to it, which is great for late night groovin.

This particular edition of Footworkin features the one and only Brenmar, who we blogged about not too long ago. His unique blend of sexy rnb stylings and club chops will be a great addition to the vibe. Of course, Kid Aloha, Azamat & LOL Boys always hold it down properly, and will definitely have you enjoyin' the hell out of life that night. If you're tired of packed electro events filled with hyperactive kids, and just want to spend the night drinking, relaxing and dancing to great rhythms, dope sounds and fantastic music that can't be pigeonholed, then Footworkin' is your night. Plus, the dudes who organize it are rad, so you don't really have an excuse to miss Footworkin #4, which is on its way to becoming one of Montreal's best monthly parties.

Scion presents: Etienne de Crecy & Classixx


*TIME & DATE: Thursday October 14th from 10 pm to 3 am
*WHERE: Suco Lounge (2108 St-Laurent blvd)
*PRICE: Free with RSVP (Facebook Link below)
*WHO:
- Etienne de Crecy (FR)
- Classixx (USA)
- Duvall (MTL)
- Rilly Guilty (MTL)

Well, this should be an interesting show. Although I would much rather see Etienne de Crecy perform in his famous Cube instead of at the posh Suco lounge, I'll have to settle. Scion is quite well known in the US for throwing a bunch of dope parties, but this is a first for Montreal. They've also made it free with RSVP, which is a really nice touch, considering that electro DJs are charging (deservedly, of course) a lot more for their performances these days. Scion also brought along those Los Angeles kings of disco, Classixx, to spice up the festivities. It's a peculiar touch, adding nu-disco to an electro show, but Classixx always throw down great sets, so I'm not too worried about that.

This is bound to be a really dope show, and given the limited capacity of Suco, it'll probably fill up really quickly, so try and get there early. If you're in the mood to go buck wild next Thursday, then this is probably your best choice. Of course, you're probably going to have to deal with the regulars patrons of Suco, who tend to be on the douchey side, from what I remember, but it comes with the territory, haha. If you're an aficionado of fine disco, or hard-hitting electro music, then we'd suggest that you RSVP as soon as you can, as this is one event that you won't want to miss.

Etienne de Crecy- Punk
Classixx ft Jeppe- I'll get you

tell satan i want my fucking swag back

Short & sweet this afternoon. A blast from the past, and two artists who are definitely killing the game at the moment.

Brenmar- Back Beating

Brenmar is a producer from Chicago currently living in Brooklyn. I don't have too many of his tracks, but the ones I do have are great. He specializes in flipping r'n'b samples into insane club tracks. This is sexy house music that has all the elements of club that you love. It's got bounce, a great vibe, and dancefloor-destroying potential.

Wilco- Via Chicago

I dreamed about killing you again last night, and it felt alright to me.

Probably my fave Wilco tune. Soft and soothing indie rock.


Before you listen to the next song, which features a member of an amazing collective I recently discovered (and which I am doing a HUGE post on next week), I want you to watch to watch this video. It'll be a better introduction to OFWGKTA's whole steez than anything I could possibly write.



Don't understand a single that just happened, right? Now, on to the song.

Tyler, The Creator (OFWGKTA)- Splatter

OFWGKTA, or Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, is a crew of young(15-18 years old)black skaters, rappers, vandals, misfits and producers from the West Coast of the United States. These dudes are honestly fucking awesome, and since discovering their stuff a week ago, I haven't been able to listen to anything else. They've got such an original swagger and style to them, and every single rapper in the crew is also incredibly unique and great at writing raps. Tyler, The Creator (don't forget the comma, people) is the crew's de-facto leader, an extremely talented and fucked-up dude who writes some of the most violent and disturbed raps out there. Don't call it horrorcore though, most of them are too young to have been influenced by any of that stuff.

I'm going to keep it extremely brief for the time being, as I don't want to spoil my huge post next week, but if you dig the vibes and the approach, keep your eyes on this space, I'll be dropping shitloads of tracks and a few mixtapes. These kids are a more violent, more fucked up, and more disturbing west coast wu-tang. Some of the dopest stuff you'll hear this year.


See you on Sunday. In the meantime, we've got a little celebratin' to do. Laters.
