DANJA - Throwback Track Thursday 1.30.2014

This one should sound familiar if you've been following Danja for at least the past six years. Today, from Danja's vault comes Baléwa Muhammad's demo for "Hurt Somebody," which leaked in autumn 2008.

Also, in place of Kid Ink's "The Movement," Danja speaks to us over an alternate (and in this blogger's opinion, more robust) version of the track backing D.O.E.'s "The Fall," which was officially released in September 2008, at roughly the same time that the throwback record leaked.

Here's to hoping for more Danja/Clutch collaborations. ‪#‎DANJATBT‬

From the Goodie Bag, Volume 7a: Halloween Synth Revealed

Two weeks ago, we posted a mystery synth to the Danja Blog SoundCloud, and gave you the reader a chance to figure out which song it came from. Though we had a number of responses, ranging from Justin Timberlake to Menudo to T.I. to Luke James, no one got it quite correct. Some of you got kinda close in terms of time period, however.

If you haven't guessed already from the image above, the synth's from a Duran Duran song. Nite-Runner, to be exact! The synth appears in the bridge section, which I've extended and enhanced for your listening pleasure:

LOOOVE IS HAUNTING! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

From the Goodie Bag, Volume 7 (TBT)

We don't know if Danja plans to continue his Throwback Track Thursdays, but while you wait I've exhumed another little sound for you.

It's not difficult to imagine yourself in space or at the cemetery when listening to Danja-produced songs. This is one of the latter--Halloween approaches, so enjoy this eerie 17-second synth. Try to guess which song it's from!

DANJA - Throwback Track Thursday for M.I.A.

Most Danja stans love them some 2006-2007 Danja. Well, the track Danja delivers this week does just that: deliver. M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls" was so good that it was resurrected for a mixtape, and then brought back for a third time as a single, at which point it blew up. But, there was another track leftover from that session.

Take a hit of this unreleased track, called "Doobie (High)". With its eerie synths and drums run through an arpeggiator, you'll be too lifted to wonder why it got left on the cutting room floor.

DANJA - Throwback Track Thursday ft. Ms Lago

This Thursday Danja is releasing two throwbacks and here is the first throwback track that features the one and only Ms. Lago where we take it back to '05 for her first mix with Danja on a track called Hands & Feet. This song featured Keri Hilson on vocals and ended up on the soundtrack for the movie In The Mix that featured Usher. Check out TBT below. Enjoy and stay tuned for part 2 of TBT.
