Partyshank

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I know Travis just posted about Partyshank(So Sweet Records), and i know it’s not time for Mixtape Sunday yet, but I thought perhaps those were two perfectly good reasons to post this mixtape from Christian Shank (the ’shank’ half of Partyshank). Hey, if Justice is playing these guys’ music, I wanna know what THESE guys [...]

Krazy Fiesta

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I’ve never been the biggest advocate of mashups or smashups or whatevers. I think I even used to sing that Bone Crusher hook as a joke in conversations from time to time. Krazy Fiesta has somehow managed to incorporate it into their song without me shutting it off after the first ten seconds. [...]

Partyshank

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

The Lies In Disguise remix of Partyshank was heavily blogged a couple weeks ago — posted here and everywhere else. It was the banger of the day, hyperboles and all.
Well, well — Partyshank sent over another remix of “Penis vs. Vagina.” This time it is Shanks own reworking that is basically the sum of [...]

LA Riots

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Wells hells, LA Riots is blowing up right before your eyes. Six months ago they were dropping their first remix and now they’ve been asked by Kylie Minogue’s camp to remix “Boombox.” Lucky for us nerds, the boys uploaded this clip of the remix to their MySpace — pretty useless to all you DJs and [...]

Peaches + Tone Loc

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Peaches recently performed her remix of Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” at URB’s 150th issue party with the man himself. How hot is that glittery hoody-unitard thing. Everybody needs one of those. Delicious Vinyl is releasing the track, and it’ll be part of a 3x vinyl full length released sometime next year… along with a bunch [...]

Digitalism

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

I caught up with Jence and Isi (on his actual birthday) of Digitalism for a quick rundown before their SF show. It’s two days before the end of the US tour, and yet they still greet me with warm smiles and their full attention. I knew I loved them for a good reason….
how did [...]

Mono4

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

I’ve been on a bit of a Brazil kick as of late — and continuing with that is São Paulo trio Mono4. “Source” starts out sounding like a hundred other diy electro-pop tracks, but right around the one and half minute mark the song totally takes off and is almost epic. Sure, it’s under-produced and [...]

Johnny Love introduces Monologic

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

This time around Johnny Love from Guns N Bombs took some time out of shopping for neon reeboks and trying to grow facial hair to write a guest blog for us about his new favorite song….
“I met Monologic, or rather, 2 of the members of monologic way back in the rave days, way before i [...]

Van She

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Van She - “Cat & The Eye” (You Tube)
WHO SAW THIS COMING?? We’ve been waiting on the edge of our seats for new Van She — and here it is. I’m trying to tame the inner fanboy, but this is near perfect. “Cat & The Eye” is still catchy as “Kelly” but edgier as some [...]

IAMSOUND has hooked us up with a prize pack to give away to one lucky reader. This includes a Black Ghosts cd and poster, Cut Off Your Hands cd and poster and the Nico Vega 7 inch. Good for your eyes and ears.
We’re gonna make this really simple to enter.. all you have to do [...]

Todosantos + Leif

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Leif has worked his magic on Todosantos. Get Weird Turn Pro sums up this track perfectly —
Well here’s some more ‘Tukky Bass’ from the Venezuelan Day-Glo New Yorkers in the shape of a remix by LEIF, who throws Old School Rave, Acid House, Big Beat, Bmore, Ghetto Tech and of course Tukky Bass (?) [...]

Contest: IHEARTCOMIX

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

As you may have heard by now, our friends over at IHEARTCOMIX are having remix contests for two of their future releases. If you win you’ll be released alongside some pretty big name producers (ok, pretty big name for us anyway)… which is pretty exciting, especially for all you bedroom producers who never leave the [...]
