Bout to step into a new decade and there’s a lot on the horizon for NoVegans.com – you’ll hear more about that in the days to come. For now, let’s wrap up 09 with a bang. Today, I’ve got an Oh Snap! exclusive and a direct download link to a fabulous end of the year mixtape by an up and coming deejay named “Grooveblender.”

Tomorrow, I’ll hit you with an 09 recap and Wednesday will remix one of last year’s most popular posts featuring the top clubbin’ blogs on the net.

If you don’t have plans for New Year’s Eve yet (and if you do then change them), we’re going to be blowing up 609 with the fever of the flavor of the skank and that’s about all I can say for now, but stay tuned… its going to be BIG.

It’s been four years since Miguel Migs released the critically acclaimed Get Salted compilation on his own label, Salted Music. A lot has happened since that release – Migs wrote and recorded an album (Those Things), released a remix album (Those Things Remixed) put together a new live act and toured with his band Petalpusher, continued to tour all over the world full time as a DJ and worked on his label. With Salted’s catalog growing at a rapid pace there’s now a wealth of great material to share with the fans – leading us to the release of Get Salted Volume 2.

In an industry overly saturated with diluted compilations containing dance music hits, Migs digs a little deeper, never having been one to chase the “latest sound” or obsess over what’s popular at the moment. Instead he stays true to his original musical passion, maintaining and creating a stylistically soulful yet diversely inspired vibe. He delivers an underground electronic experience oozing futuristic disco, dubbed out techy funk and atmospheric melodies for your listening pleasure. Get Salted Volume 2 shows off Migs’ technically seamless transitions, while he blends a choice selection of underground deep house dance grooves, including some unreleased exclusives.

Get Salted Volume 2 is the perfect CD for a day at the beach, a night at your house party or in the car driving. Miguel Migs “So Far” (Yogi and Husky Deep Wash Dub Edit) brings the vibe in gently with slow synths and a soothing vibe while Nathan G “88 Keys To Love” picks it up with some classic house piano stabs. The space disco of Roberto De Carlo feat. Colin Corvez “You Are The One For Me (Miguel Migs Salted Dub)” is contrasted by the 90’s Hip-House sound of Dutchican Soul “Get On Down” (Unreleased Dub Edit) and then again by the jazzy tech house of Dirty Culture “No Matter How.” Swingin’ soulful grooves are shared by Jay-J with Charlene Moore “Love Alive (Dub)” and Fred Everything feat. Tortured Soul “Lying To You” (Fred Everything Dub) before Migs brings in a little R&B flavor with his own unreleased dub of “Sometime (feat Tim Fuller.)” It’s a soul/R&B/House/disco party mix that works equally well on large sound systems and little earbuds.

Although based in San Francisco, Migs spends most of his time on the road these days. As such, he’s never in one place long enough to be influenced by current trends and “hot sounds.” Migs has always been true to himself and his live DJ sets bring together even more genres than displayed in this compilation. Migs will tour throughout the remainder of the summer and the fall in support of Get Salted Volume 2. Do not miss it!

Miguel Migs presents Get Salted Volume 2 will be released on September 22, 2009.

What up Icey? I don’t normally post links to mixtapes because its rare to find a mixtape worth writing about. So if I’m posting a mixtape, then you know it must be hot! Enter DJ Icey, and this mixtape cd that was handed out during WMC Miami 2009. This one is well worth the burn because its one of those mixes you’ve got to listen to more than once.

Its not too often I take a mixtape, upload it to my iphone and listen to it every chance I get, but Kelevra has got me doing just that. Released earlier this month, I’m very seriously considering calling this the best mix of 2008, but perhaps that’s a little premature. Why don’t you tell me what you think?
