For those of you who have been frequenting the blob over the past several months, I’m sure you’ve noticed several things. First, pages load slow as shit. Second, updates have been sparse, and that’s putting it lightly. I’m working on optimizing everything to get the site running smoother and I seem to have figured it out. Consequently, this will lead to more updates because I won’t have to wait 17023846 minutes while all the back-end pages load for me.

So what does this mean? Plenty more news and music in the future, both for DJs and common-folk. In the meantime, 5 new edits for your cloob sets. Your patience will be rewarded. I’ve got so many goodies to share.

Tyga – Faded ft. Lil Wayne (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

Wale – Slight Work ft. Big Sean (Chazz Rockwell Into)

ASAP Rocky – Celebration (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

B.o.B. – Strange Clouds ft. Lil Wayne (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

B.o.B. – Play The Guitar ft. Andre 3000 (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

Golly, there’s a lot of big things on the come up including new residencies and updates on holiday as well as new year’s parties. On the more immediate tip, I’m fortunate enough to get to play at the always fun 1Oak night club tomorrow night for their Thanksgiving Eve party. Now, 6 tracks you need in your life.

Young Jeezy – I Do ft. Jay-Z & Andre 3000

Remember when this originally leaked over a year ago? Well, it still sounds like International Players Anthem Part 2 and thus, is still awesome.

ASAP Rocky – Out Of This World

Go get the mixtape.

Big K.R.I.T. - Money On The Floor ft. 2 Chainz & 8Ball & MJG

I haven’t stopped listening to this one since it came out months ago. So good.

Surkin – Ultra Light (Original Mix)

Everyone’s fav cut off the new album.

John Dahlback – Overdose

I’ve been playing this out nonstop in tons of my sets this past month.

Austin Leeds ft. Corey Andrew – Harmony (Original Mix)

Just got this and I imagine I will be playing it out nonstop over the next month.

That’s a wrap for now, bee. Enjoy your Turkey Day, boys and girls.

It’s been a minuuuuute, but in honor of the big weekend, let’s update.

You’ll notice that I’ve added this groovy “dates” section to the bar on the right. Isn’t it swell? Now you crazies can stalk me wherever I go. You know who you are. It’s also my first Halloween in America in three years and boy, do I love the scandalous outfits you ladies bring out. Don’t let the frozen tundra outside sway you otherwise. For those of you in Philly, my Barca roomie, Isaac Jordan, and I will be rocking out at Voyeur tonight…and until 6 AM. Come on by, my name works at the door.

And now for some new joints. Just because I haven’t shared edits with you folks in a while doesn’t mean I don’t have bundles of fresh ones. J. Cole, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and one Halloween themed joint. Can you figure out which one it is?!

Outkast – Dracula’s Wedding ft. Kelis (Chazz Rockwell Edit)

J. Cole – Mr. Nice Watch ft. Jay-Z (Chazz Rockwell Short Edit)

J. Cole – Can’t Get Enough ft. Trey Songz (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

Big Sean – Dance (Ass) Remix ft. Nicki Minaj (Chazz Rockwell Short Edit)

Waka Flocka Flame – Round Of Applause Remix ft. Drake (Chazz Rockwell Edit)

The Weeknd – The Zone ft. Drake (Chazz Rockwell Short Edit)

It had to be done. Here’s 6 intro edits to start with (in order of my personal taste in case you were curious). Now you can feel extra current when you DJ. Hit “play” to play. Click the “download” button to, ummm, download. Serato cue points and levels are all set as usual.

Jay-Z & Kanye West – Ni__as In Paris (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

Another mixtape, but I’m not nearly as excited for this one. Remember when seeing a new Wale track meant an instant download? I wouldn’t even stream new shit from him. Just download and put the shit directly in my iPod. Times have changed. In the past ten days alone I must have passed up on at least 5 tracks that didn’t warrant a download. Anyway, here’s his new mixtape. His second album, Ambition, is due out on November 11th.

Download the mixtape here.

P.S. Whoever posts Wale’s music on twitter fucking SUCKS at properly tagging the mp3s. I’ve noticed that some time ago with regards to all the individual tracks he would share, but this whole mixtape is just as bad. Anyway, I fixed all the ID3 tags and uploaded my own .zip to save everyone the eyesore and time.

YAYAYAYAY. The new Weeknd mixtape is here. Nine new tracks to follow up on the nine that comprised House of Balloons. One of those nine is “The Zone”, featuring Drake. Here’s that one:

The Weeknd – The Zone ft. Drake

No, I’m not late with this edition of Wax Dat Ass Wednesdays. I simply thought we all needed a week off. Moreover, this mix is a real change of pace from the ones that preceded it. Personally, it’s my favorite one thus far, but that’s just like my opinion, man. Some of the tracks date as far back as 1996 and a handful are from 2010 (when this was recorded). Some were never official releases and some hit number 1 on Billboard charts. Some are joints you hear a little too often and some you simply don’t hear enough. Either way, this is something that I hope DJs find useful for when you’re opening up the night and casual listeners find to be grown and sexy. The tracklist is as follows:

Jay-Z - The City Is Mine ft. Blackstreet

LL Cool J - Hush ft. 7 Aurelius

Dirty Money - Loving You No More ft. Drake (Chazz Rockwell Intro)

Maxwell – Bad Habits (Brolic Beat Remix)

Michael Jackson - Butterflies Remix ft. Eve (Chazz Rockwell Edit)

Ginuwine – When Doves Cry

Sunshine Anderson – Heard It All Before

Ne-Yo – Already Know

Ruff Endz – No More

Ne-Yo - One In A Million

New Edition – Hot 2nite

Ryan Leslie – Way That You Move Girl ft. Nas

Trey Songz – Already Taken (Angle Intro)

T-Pain – Bartender ft. Akon

N.E.R.D. – Hypnotize U

Bruno Mars – Just The Way You Are (Chazz Rockwell Short Edit)

Jagged Edge – Let’s Get Married Remix ft. Rev Run

Click play. The download button is in the player on the right hand side. Check out parts one, two, and three of this ongoing series ashwell. Love ya!

Here’s the mastered version of 50′s new single. It’s pretty much him doing his best Nicki Minaj impression.

50 Cent – I’m On It

The Bullitts perform “Close Your Eyes” with Lucy Lui and Jay Electronica. Lucy Lui can whisper sweet nothings in my ear all night long. Oh, and I guess Jay is an okay rapper too.

“Close your eyes and dream big like Faith Evans” – Jay Electronica

Bonus:

My boy Isaac Jordan got edits for days, including this slept on gem from when the roots were live on BBC’s Radio One.

The Roots – The Seed (BBC Radio One Version Isaac Jordan Edit)

Maino goes in over three classic Wu-Tang beats. It goes from “Incarcerated Scarfaces”, to “C.R.E.A.M.”, to “It’s Yourz”. Pretty phenomenal selection if you ask me.

Maino – Machine Gun Rap
