Toro Y Moi first came on my radar when he remixed Tyler, The Creators French, which was promptly played on The Rinse, which may be a reason they stopped returning my emails…but thats another story.

Toro Y Moi already released a full length Underneath The Pine in February that was well received, but has decided that one major release a year isn’t enough. The first track off his September Ep Freaking Out dropped this morning and we have it for you.

It has been a wild ride for The Rinse since its inception back in October of 2009. Feeva and I came together with a love of electronic music and decided to put together a radio show on Windsor/Detroit’s best radio station- CJAM FM. We ended up winning a Jammy award for ‘Best New Show’ and since then we have done our best to bring you quality programming every Monday night. This year we have continued to provide you with the hottest releases covering all genres of electronic music as well as bring in countless interviews and mini mixes from the likes of Jelo, Sound Remedy, Joman, MosDam, eMDeeMA, Hirshee, Lazy Rich, FTampa & Porter Robinson. As the month of April winds down we are sad to say that we will both be moving on with our lives and will be saying goodbye to our beloved CJAM. Tonight we have prepared a monster show compiling our favourite tracks of the past 2 years. Tune in tonight from 10:30-Midnight by turning that dial to 99.1 FM in Windsor/Detroit or by STREAMING US LIVE.

You may here one or two of these beauties on the show tonight so stay tuned!!

It has been a slow weekend for quality music but we are going to start the week off on a good note with a big time guest on tonight’s episode of The Rinse. For those of you who don’t know I host a weekly radio show on CJAM 99.1fm in Windsor & Detroit with fellow music lover/dj/producer- Feeva. Tonight we are happy to bring you an exclusive 30 minute mix and live interview from electronic music genius- Dezza. This rising star is a fellow Canadian and has been gaining a lot of attention in the last year including an opening spot for Wolfgang Gartner, 15 minutes of fame on Tiesto’s Club Life and international support from Markus Schulz, Pete Tong, Armin Van Buuren, Bart Claessen & Paul Van Dyk to name a few. He is known for his melodic, tantalizing progressive house but doesn’t shy away from electro, tech, techno and trance. Be sure to tune in tonight at 10:30 by clicking here!

Last year’s Conditions is an amazing album. I love every song on the album and it is easily my favourite record last year, but if your an avid Ambassador Beats reader you already knew that. I post remixes from this album as often as I can.

Well yesterday Conditions Remixed was released. The name basically says it all, but it is an album comprised completely of brand new remixes by some of the biggest DJ’s and Producers in the game. Rusko, Alan Wilkins, Adam Freeland, just to name a few make appearances on this record.

What is awesome about this album is that rather than focusing on two or three songs and offering several different remixes of the same song, each song from Conditions received the remix treatment in its own special way. It is like experiencing the album for the first time all over again.

Last night The Conductor and I played the Alan Wilkins remix to Sweet Disposition on The Rinse and I’ll probably throw another one of the songs from this album on the Weekly Webisode, so check back for that. But until then you can listen to the entire album below. Enjoy.

The Rinse this week is having a very special guest host… me. I’ll be coming in to help out The Conductor with his award winning program. You can listen to the program LIVE at 10:30 tonight by clicking here.

This week is also CJAM’s annual pledge drive. CJAM is the only non-profit campus based radio station in the area and they need our help. They offer a variety of great program choices and give students an opportunity to do something they love. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. There are a couple different pledge levels that offer great incentives. Check out the options below.
