Mayer Hawthorne is no stranger to this blog. In fact he’s on here pretty damn regularly. I freaking love this guys sound. It’s incredible. I first heard him about 8-9 years ago when he was djing/producing for Athletic Mic League out of Ann Arbor, MI under the name DJ Haircut. My how far he has come. I’ve since seen him live a few times and will continue to every chance I get. He just gets music and it gets him. Here’s a few remixes. If you want the full collection of songs I’ve posted from him, search for him above. Dig.
Dig A Little Deeper - Peter, Bjorn and John - Mayer Hawthorne Remix - Jammerrrrr remix of the Swede’s new single. Mayer succeeds with this one.
A Long Time - Mayer Hawthorne - Chromeo Remix - Chromeo and Mayer Hawthorne are like two peas in pod. I love it. They always remix each other’s stuff and perform live together. It’s a match made in remix heaven.

Life is best served LIVING. So do that shit. If you want to do something, do it. If you want to say something, say it. Regret is a good life’s worst enemy. ~ Mayor Marwan

Charmed Life - Icebird(rjd2 & Aaron Livingston) - Candy Panther Remix - One of my favorite producers to ever touch an MPC, rjd2 is back with a new sound/group. Him and chanteur, Aaron Livingston come together to form Icebird. In good form, rj released the stems of their single, Charmed Life to be remixed by the masses. This remix is by Candy Panther.
Can’t Stop - Mayer Hawthorne ft Snoop Dogg - If you don’t like this Mayer Hawthorne, you have no game, no libido, no taste, basically no redeeming qualities. I joke, but seriously if you don’t like, check yo self. via
There’s something luxurious about having a girl light your cigarette. In fact, I got married once on account of that. ~ Harold Robbins
Diet Mtn Dew (Demo)- Lana Del Rey - This beautiful songstress has crept into my head. Her voice is so sultry. I envision a smokey speakeasy with a small stage and an old fashioned microphone. Her in a sexy cocktail dress, teaching us all a lesson on stage.
Raise Me Up (Mississippi South) - Lana Del Rey - Bonus Lana track! She is in fact, an artist to keep an eye for. Support good music! via

Ready Set or Not - Fugees vs Black Grass - dj Daigo - I posted a dj daigo track before. Dude is a mashup beast. This is one of his older pieces, but i dig it. I love the Fugees, and Ready or Not is one of the pivotal songs of 90’s hip hop. Tuff.

Your Goodies Are Gone - Dennis Coffey feat Mayer Hawthorne - Shigeto Remix - Mayer’s voice all chopped and layered really does it for me. The drums and groove of this, once it gets going, also does it for me. This is a sexy sexy Mediterranean lounge track. Throw on the shades, pour a drink and crush responsibly. via musigh
Sorry For the Wait - Lil Wayne - Adele Cover - At first I was skeptical of this track, but when the beat starts to pick up, Weezy goes in. Banger.
“Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a great and glorious nation. Favourite amongst his subjects was the court painter of whom he was very proud. Everybody agreed this wizened old man painted the greatest pictures in the whole kingdom and the king would spend hours each day gazing at them in wonder. However, one day a dirty and disheveled stranger presented himself at the court claiming that in fact he was the greatest painter in the land. The indignant king decreed a competition would be held between the two artists, confident it would teach the vagabond an embarrassing lesson. Within a month they were both to produce a masterpiece that would out do the other. After thirty days of working feverishly day and night, both artists were ready. They placed their paintings, each hidden by a cloth, on easels in the great hall of the castle. As a large crowd gathered, the king ordered the cloth be pulled first from the court artist’s easel. Everyone gasped as before them was revealed a wonderful oil painting of a table set with a feast. At its centre was an ornate bowl full of exotic fruits glistening moistly in the dawn light. As the crowd gazed admiringly, a sparrow perched high up on the rafters of the hall swooped down and hungrily tried to snatch one of the grapes from the painted bowl only to hit the canvas and fall down dead with shock at the feet of the king. ’Aha!’ exclaimed the king. ’My artist has produced a painting so wonderful it has fooled nature herself, surely you must agree that he is the greatest painter who ever lived!’ But the vagabond said nothing and stared solemnly at his feet. ’Now, pull the blanket from your painting and let us see what you have for us,’ cried the king. But the tramp remained motionless and said nothing. Growing impatient, the king stepped forward and reached out to grab the blanket only to freeze in horror at the last moment. ’You see,’ said the tramp quietly, ’there is no blanket covering the painting. This is actually just a painting of a cloth covering a painting. And whereas your famous artist is content to fool nature, I’ve made the king of the whole country look like a clueless little twat.” ~ Banksy (Wall and Piece)
Swimsuits - The Cool Kids feat Mayer Hawthorne - JAMMER!! This summertime banger is groovy as hell. It has sound tags on it, since i found it at mostlyjunkfood. But you can cop this at iTunes tomorrow…
Ancient Treasure - Paul White ft Guilty Simpson - This heatrock comes to us from new-to-me producer Paul White and features Detroit’s Guilty Simpson on rhymes. via dippedindollars.
Boss’ Life - Domo Genesis - New joint from the Odd Future clique. Domo goes hard on this beat sampling the same sample that Busta Rhymes rocks on Everybody Rise. Great sample. Different flip. Ballsy move, still. I mean he must have realized he couldn’t go as hard as Busta did? Would he even want to? Nobody is that wild… That said, Domo does it well. I dig it. via themusicninja
“Our modern society is engaged in polishing and decorating the cage in which man is kept imprisoned.” ~ Swami Nirmalananda
Love in Motion - Sebastian feat Mayer Hawthorne - Wow… What a combo… Sebastian and Mr. Hawthorne crush this track. This song reeks of sex. It’s dripping in pheromones and rearing to go. Great instrumental, cool vocals.
Romeo and Juliet - The Killers - Dire Straits Cover - I love this song. It’s awesome. I’ve never heard the Killers version before but I find it to be excellent. Brandon Flowers’ voice does the original justice.
One Day - UGK - Blue Sky Black Death Remix - This is a dope remix of the Underground Kings classic jammer by Seattle’s Blue Sky Black Death. RIP Pimp C. via mostlyjunkfood
“Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near the infinite.” ~ Thomas Carlyle
Sixteen - The Heavy - Saw these guys last year in Boston, opening up for Mayer Hawthorne. It was a great show and they were pretty dope. This song is heat… Love the “I Put A Spell On You” melody.
Angelica (Part of the Plan) - Hans Zimmer ft The Reverb Junkie - Oddyear Edit - An absolutely beautiful song built atop stems(individual tracks - guitar, bass, keys, etc.) taken from the soundtrack to Priates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Then Reverb Junkie put her song on top of it and then this dude, Oddyear, put drums to it. Crazy but really cool…
Damn. The Wale show was off the hook last night at the Wilbur Theater in Boston. Black Cobain accompanied and tore it down as well. When they did “4am” together the place went nuts. Wale was live as hell and I feel very content with the money spent. Black Cobain even took some time to do Twitter shoutouts after his set and he shouted your Mayor out, nbd…
Broken Record - Katy B - Jacques Greene Remix - Katy B, pic above, is an extremely talented songstress. I love her voice and style. The track she did with Magnetic Man, Perfect Stranger, is HEAT…
Mr. Blue Sky - Mayer Hawthorne - Mayoral fave, Mayer Hawthorne, is the man. This dude is so talented it’s scary. He is a beast on production, a multi-instrumentalist and a hell of a crooner. This is a cover of the Electric Light Orchestra, or ELO, jammer by the same name. It’s a dope track off his new EP of cover songs which you can download here: Mayer Hawthorne - Impressions (Free EP). Thanks to mostlyjunkfood.
What’s My Name - Snoop Doggy Dogg - Hot 8 Brass Band Cover - I’ve never heard of the Hot 8 Brass Band, but i caught this at etmusiquepourtous and had to share it. This shit is so hot. Definite party track. These guys are from N’awlins and you can hear it. Dopenstein.
