Ah, day 3, you cruel temptress. This was perhaps the day I’d longed for the most, with Fatboy Slim, Green Velvet, Flying Lotus and Little Dragon all on tap (in addition to so many others). And the fact that after a cool and rainy weekend we were now experiencing upwards of 90 degrees and that I was able to wear a pair of shorts for the first time since Coachella were both cause for great excitement. It also meant that lots of ravers in the Hart Plaza fountain and lots of shirtless bros in the crowd. Slightly less awesome but I guess it comes with the territory. Day 3 photo set is mostly just about showing everyone enjoying the great day and the great atmosphere brought on by the fest. As I watched Fatboy Slim’s incredible set, lights and lasers a-blazin’, I couldn’t help but think that the production at all of the stages had gone through the roof this year, or maybe I just hadn’t paid attention in years past. Either way, big ups to Paxahau again for putting on an incredible weekend and turning Movement into a world class weekend. Here’s some scheisse from day 3, fun in the sun.

Can you believe it’s already July? More importantly, can you believe it’s already July and I just got my first tan (read:extreme sunburn)? It’s pretty embarrassing, but luckily June was a great month so we don’t feel THAT bad about it. We released the second of (hopefully) many mixtapes to come, the Summer Drive Mixtape (know it, live it, love it), and while it didnt have all the hype of the Blogwave Summer Mixtape, it definitely had all the energy and summer sizzle. And I got to see tons of acts I hadn’t seen before, many of which are on the precipice of hugeness. And now I present to you your favorite tracks from the month of June. And I think you all did a pretty good job of loving some awesome tracks the most.

Kelis – 4th of July (Fireworks)(Calvin Harris Remix)

Fake Blood – I Think I Like It (Tommie Sunshine & Figure EC$TASY Edit)

Royksopp – What Else Is There?

Aeroplane – We Can’t Fly

Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours (Aeroplane Remix)

Let’s see if we can make July the raddest month EVER

If you aren’t sucked in by the first minute of this track, have no fear. Because it’s not really until after that first minute that it takes off. I’ve sometimes been accused of skewing a little too disco at times. And to all the people that have said that about the music we put up here, well, I really don’t have a good argument today against that. But at least a lot of the disco has a hot modern beat dropped on top of it, right? Fake Blood, originators of this tune, laid down the basis for the hotness and then Tommie Sunshine and Figure put their magic touch on it which, I believe, included adding a tasty saxomophone solo to the end. The original is about 3 minutes and this edit is just over 5, but every minute is enjoyable.
