People, get excited.  The one and only Pete Tong made us an extra special Cali-themed mix while he was here over the weekend.  For most of you, Pete needs no introduction.  For the rest of you, we’ll just free associate some words: dance music kingpin; global DJ; BBC Radio One jock.

Check out his mix here, and while you’re at it, have a listen to the latest charts from our friends Miss Nine and Dirt Crew, who have been gracing us with regular mixes and have been fanning the dance music flames over here at 8tracks.

Turn it up!

Check out Release The Sunbird’s mix: Songs For The Stripped Down, a project by Zach Rogue, of Rogue Wave.

Which includes two never before heard tracks by Zach himself recorded for the HBO series, On Freddie Roach.

Zach Rogue started Release The Sunbird in the summer of 2010 in order to scratch the itch of trying something new creatively after years spent on the road with his band Rogue Wave. Between releasing a full length debut album, ‘Come Back to Us’, and then most recently, the digital EP, ‘Imaginary Summer’, under Release The Sunbird, Zach somehow managed to find time to score for the HBO series.
