Happy Thursday Theme Songs YAY!

It's Friday Eve Folks! Just one more day and we are home free 2 whole days before we start this endless worker bee rat race cycle all over again. Anyway, if you're already gearing up for your weekend then I got you...

First up is, of course, the 2 CHAINZ song of the day! This one is dedicated to my next installment of More Adventures in Dating the Douchebags of PoF coming up later...

Next, you know we have to keep Twerkathon OH-13 going... I've been getting an awesome response to this little segment and some readers have offered up suggestions that just might take this thing to a whole nother level.

The past couple days we've been delving into some instructional videos for the twerk-challenged or what I'm dubbing "Booty Bounce Beginners". Here are some more songs for you to practice your new found shaking skills. These have some instructions...

Huey's Pop, Lock, and Drop It shows you have twerking can be coordinated into an actual dance everyone can do...

Also, I'm sure you've heard this one from French Montana on the radio recently...

But, today I'd like to focus on a serious issue that plagues many a twerking veteran... Ass Shaking Addiction. Here is a cautionary tale about 2 young girls named Chuchi and Beba... 

For those of you out there who are all too familiar with this affliction, it's OK. We will get through this together. I'm forming a support group called Twerkaholics Anonymous. 

Hello, my name is Niki Slik and I am a jiggle junkie. I can't stop twerking. I'm actually doing it right now. So turn off that Taylor Swift crap and turn up that Sissy Nobby!

 

Now for those of you who are like, "That's cool but where's the DnB at?!" I've got something for you too... It's all about some Chase and Status today. Here are some of my faves...

Hello and welcome to Music Club!

Also Smash TV with the Guns n Roses Welcome to the Jungle sample... Just FYI BTW, this song makes an awesome alarm...

and finally a song I heard yesterday on Slacker that I'm really diggin called End Credits...

BOOM!

Happy HumP Day Theme Songs: 2 CHAINZ, Twerkathon OH-13, and More Fresh DnB

Happy HumP Day My People! We have managed to survive half the week so YaY for us! Here are your theme songs for the day...

First up is the 2CHAINZ Song of the Day... This song is called G.O.O.D. Morning and I just happened to stumble across it this morning. For those of you who don't understand my massive LOVE for 2 CHAINZ, songs like this are why. It makes you pull your hair and mush your face and go OH MAH GOD this is SOOOOOOOO G.O.O.D.!!!!

Next up is today's installment of Twerkation OH-13...

Just in case yesterday's instructional video wasn't enough for you, I found this one for those of you who are severely twerked challenged. Be forewarned though that this C-Jeezy dude is a bit of a hot mess and his instructional methods are slightly avant-garde. I'm pretty sure the guy in this is the same one crying to "Leave Brittney alone!" right after Ms. Spears' Blackout album was released and her trainwreck performance at the MTV VMA's of Gimme More.

Anyway, this is considered "advanced twerking" so you can learn the professional ish. Just don't forget to eat some ramen noodles and pretzel dips to get your booty right, put on a pair of pajama pants.. and above all DO NOT FORGET YO DRANK!

 

I do agree on finding a twerking song with instructions so here is the one C-Jeezy used in the video. Put this one while you practice in front of that mirror guuuurrrrrrlll! It's called Twerk by a chick named Lady and it's actually a pretty hot song.

And for those of you who want to get into crazy advanced twerking, I suggest watching Nicki Minaj. She was rated by Fuse as the #1 celebrity twerker. This song by Nicki Minaj and Ciara is for the ladies...

Now as promised, let's get into some fresh DnB that I found just for you...

This one is so brand spankin' new it's technically not even out yet apparently and you can only preorder it. It's Koncept's - Breathe In and it got posted to the Viper Recordings Sound Cloud Profile 6 days ago and YouTube today. I <3 it which is saying a lot.

Also, I found this Maduk Remix of Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis that is pretty decent. It definitely makes that song relevant again... which is good if you like the original and bad if you hated it. I personally started out liking it and then began hating it as it got overplayed.

Finally, this track is kinda liquidy but definitely catchy. I'll probably have it stuck in my head now for the rest of the day. It's Control by Matrix & Futurebound featuring Max Marshall...

BOOM!

Happy Tuesday Theme Songs: 2 CHAINZ, Twerkathon, and Dope DnB!

Hope y'all are enjoying this lovely day. Whether you're super busy or super bored, here are some songs to get you through the rest of your day...

First up, it's the 2 CHAINZ song of the day. This one is off his mixtape from 2011, T.R.U. Religion and it's called Undastatement... You'll need a towel to wipe your leg... Pronto!

Also, we are keeping Twerkathon OH-13 going as promised yesterday in Happy Monday Theme Songs For Your House Party Hangover. Why? Because it just needs to happen.

But whahappins if you don't know how to twerk? It's OK, I got you. I found this awesome instructional video for those of you out there who are twerk-challenged...

Now that we've got our twerking down.. back to the music... Today is more Ying Yang Twins. Raise your hand if you know this one...

And this one I'm mad into by Busta Rhymes and Nicki Minaj...

I'm also all about some crucial Drum and Bass today...

Lately I've been getting mad into Noisia. This track is pretty brand spankin' new. It's I Am Legion which is Noisia and a hip hop group called Foreign Beggars and it's called Dust Descends.

 

Also found this one that came out a few weeks ago called Hyenas and it's a collaboration between Noisia, Calyx, and Tee Bee...

But what got me all on Noisia lately is actually a much older track. It's entirely possible I like the track purely because I like the dude who says "Diplodocus" several times throughout it. For those who don't know, a Diplodocus is a dinosaur that had a very long neck and looked quite similar to the Apatosaurus.

Here is the original:

And here is the Upbeats Remix which I also like:

Finally, as you learned from my post 8 Whole Weeks of Being Smoke Free, My Theme Song, and Super Slik Stop Smoking Campaign, I have a huge thing for The Prodigy because they are AWESOME... It would appear Noisia agrees with me. This remix is dope!

BOOM!

Saturday Theme Songs of the Day... Welcome to the Dark Side of DnB Workout

I decided to change things up a bit today and go for a Jungle/Drum & Bass station on Slacker Radio for my workout. I've been having issues getting up in the 80-85% range to max on my cardio for my target heart rate so I've been going for high BPM workout playlists so I can have a reference point to match and keep pace with during my workouts. 

Just FYI, a BPM rate is a term used to talk about both the beats per minute of music and also your heart. Crazy how those 2 are linked right? For those of you who do not produce, spin, or listen to Electronic Dance Music in a real in-depth way, most of the poppy dancey tracks on the radio are probably in the 120-150 BPM (Beats Per Minute) range... Jungle and Drum & Bass can range anywhere from 155-190 BPM. 

Anyway, one of my all-time super faves for Jungle is Aphrodite. I've been a huge fan of his and Urban Takeover for about 14 years now. Slacker threw what it considered some other similar artists with similar sounds into the playlist. I actually know a lot of these artists personally and am familiar with their work from my time in the rave scene so I know how dissimilar they really are. But it was all good and my workout was epic. So here are some goodies for your workout playlists....

Aphrodite - Style From The Dark Side

Aphrodite - Dub moods (The Greatest Trick)

Photek - Deadly Technology

Dillinja - Unexplored Terrain

Dillinja - Shiners

Bad Company - Snow Cat

Noisia & Bad Company - Meditation
