As soon as i heard this track i knew i had to share it with the blogaverse. I hit my man Bodyjacking up and he was happy to give me the go ahead so check this out. A crazy, jacked up , break-in-the-face party tune with a star wars lick. Not something you come across everyday.
Bodyjacking is a top fella and you can catch him hanging about on the low-bee forums pretty much most days.. his myspace doesn’t get much of his attention probably cause he’s busy giving up high quality product to the world. If you need to get in touch (labels get with it) then you can drop us a line and i’ll forward details on.
Mark Ronson has gone to lollapolooza so backup gets drafted in to his regular East Village radio spot and the whole session rocks right up to the quallity hip hop drops at the end! seriously dope!
Deeper, more dangerous and still bags of fun, Scottie B and stable mates Say Wut and Will Roc are moving things on. This isn’t just some booty shakin, sponge-bob-dancin club hit…
The sounds have become more mature, the frenetic energy and joy is still there but bmore is movin on
You can pick tracks up from these unruly Bmore hooligans at turntable lab
Sometimes a tune will start a chain reaction in your brain that you just can’t stop. Last week “Set if off” did that to me. I heard it and had to know more.
The track was recorded in 1984 by Walter Gibbons and released as an indie 12″. Walter had been a pioneering disco dj during the 70s, creating a lot of the techniques DJs use today. Come the early 80s and Walter had slipped from the scene a bit, then suddenly he released this incredible chicago house killer cut. It was quickly picked up by Larry Levan and became a Paradise Garage legend spawning imitations and various “answer-back” versions.
Hats off to the innovators!
I might make this a regular spot of retro electro/house if you show some love…
If you’ve been paying attention recently to the blog world you’ll realise you only have a couple of days left to hit up the San Miguel site and register for free tickets to their next event in the hidden depth series!
On 31st July the secretsundaze crew will hosting a ticket only party at T-Bar London. The guys at hidden depths dropped us a line about this and told us we couldn’t mention the surprise guests but when i say big i mean ENORMOUS! Think of the biggest disco house edit hero slash pioneer and your on the right track…
The next session will be hosted by dancefloor destroyers Chromeo at the End 21st August (again with super secret guests) and the final session is at the Amersham Arms 18th September with line up to be mysteriously appearing on a blog near you soon.
The previous parties have been massive, with the old wizard grandmaster flash doing the honours in Manchester a few weeks ago, the reviews were pretty hype…
To get you in the mood here are some Chromeo tracks and something extra… wonder what i’m thinking!!
Space , the future, policemen and exclamation points.. weird combo but so is Luke and Becs (reppin Big Brother UK y’all!)
Futurecop! is a guy called manzur iqbal… i think thats him here. He started off a year or too ago with absolutely no idea how to produce tracks. Thats right zip, nada. Believe that? Nah me neither but hey the hype goes on.
Now the guy is dropping bonafied nu disco gems.
Nasa is a fun, futuristic dancefloor laser beam. The synths skip across the speakers like little bubbles in a glass of iced perrier. Wow it must be hot cause this tracks gone straight to my head… wtf am i on about.
Just listen you’ll soon find out. Futurecop! releases an EP soon, and NASA will appear on the next CMYK mixtape which i promise is on its way.
Bueno!
MP3 -(Removed at Futerecops request – wait for the EP release)
At the beginning of the year DJ U-Tern posted these amazing remixes of the AIH track on his blog One Day Later
U-tern has been a CMYK favourite for some time… mixing electro, disco and bmore on his essential vinyl releases “The Cookie Jar EP” series.
I totally slept on his blog but I’ve been rinsing it all day today and suggest you do the same. There is so much goodness on there its hard to know where to start. Definitely try and pick up some of his sessions from Brooklyn radio
I decided to go with this remix as its so funk fresh thats its hard to resist.
Thunderheist released their new ep “Jerk it” a couple days ago. So using blog logic, that means i get to make a post and include there highly recommendable track “Suenos Dulces”.
Thunderheist are a toronto based duo that don’t do what you think they’re going to…
I’m looking at the picture above and i’m like “yeah morcheeba man …”
Hell no! This is upfront and uptight shizzle y’all.. bmore breaks, sassy rappin and hot remixes make this a serious CMYK recommendation…
The new EP comes with Jokers of the Scene, Nacho Lovers and JFK on the fix.. who all do their thing. I’m just glad that the band have decided to let the blog world publish a few of there back catalogue to get the hype rolling cause then i get to share some extras with ya..
Urban music is undergoing some serious changes at the moment and its spawning some really interesting cross over genres.. A notable offspring of Hip Hop and cousin to the notorious Bmore sound is the New Orleans Bounce flavour…Its biggest blog champion is Emynd
The man has put together a dope mixtape of BOUNCE cuts in conjunction with Mad Decent and we got it fresh and direct for you…
For me this is a little bit funkier than the BMore jump and doesn’t come with the chedda sections alla Tittsworth and Bananas..
Anyway time for you to make your own mind up..this is sure fire Flava in ya Ear!!
Tracklisting for the mixtape and a fuller explanation of BOUNCE can be checked at Emynd’s own blog CrossFadedBacon which is well worth a visit.
I guess y’all know what crazy Pase rocks fans we are at CMYK..
The man himself has just released his new track “Get Money Kids” at the Fully Fitted blog…
If this was in a genre I think it would probably fit into techfunkglitchrap…stick that in ya ipod and see if it likes it..
When this track dropped into the Inbox I had to read the description from remix team JAPATTACK more than once..
I thought the little Philly maestros were having a fkin larf!!
I’d already had the pleasure of hearing JAPATTACK’s remix of Pase Rock the week previous. Turns out now they are doing the honors for fag rap artist Sgt Sass…
I hadn’t heard of fag rap before but apparently it exists and its trying
to reclaim “faggot” in the same way female rappers like Missy Elliott and Lil’ Kim reclaimed “bitch” in the late ’90s
Anyway enjoy some JAPATTACK remixes include the one about the GHEYS… they’re pretty good!!
Its free, its a banger and its brought to you by converse. Only a matter of time before Carles at Hipster Run Off starts asking questions like
1. Do you like the thought of sharing feet with an alt bro
2. Is Santogold giving tug jobs to both these guys or is it just one while the other likes to watch.
etc etc….
I guess any company can be a record label these days. Just look at Apple and Starbucks…
The new Casablancas + Santagold + NERD track coming to a sportswear sponsored dancefloor near you soon. The video is apparently on its way… Hope Pharell wears BAPE!
Thanks to Hotbiscuits for being first to the blocks.
Some woman goes nuts on a bus somewhere in the U S of A.. she gets her weave pulled out… it gets put on YouTube
and then some cheeky club DJs edit it all together to make a bmore banger that all the clubs from LA to NYC are hammering…
Ticket for the bus $2
Angels Cap $15
Looking like a crack freak in front of the whole world and then getting a club banger treatment… totally priceless
Yes yes y’all… its soo hot in the NYC today the buildings are melting… what we need is some latin fuelled rap goodness to party in the sweet sunshine…
Nothing better than this top nugget from the Time Machine
Been meaning to put a post about these up for a while. The indie true skoolers had a good release a couple of years ago with the LP “Slow your Roll”. Now they are back and the new stuff is sounding fresher than ever.
Feel the love we got for these boys and pay them a visit at their mySpace site…
Complete with karaoke bouncing ball. The album Good Bad Not Evil is well worth a listen.
Sorry to get political but the video incidentally is footage taken from riots in Northern Ireland a few years ago, but if you believe everything you read in the paper’s in the UK you would think this is happening every night on every street corner!
This ones for all the kids of the UK demonised by the media, who seem to be taking the blame for everything from drinking, hoodies, knives and the break down in society! Nothing to do with the government who are so busy concentrating on taxing us to high heaven and charging us more and more rather than investing properly in youth organisation’s, community groups and anti social behaviour. If you show them and tell them they are bad, enough times…….they will believe it!
More New York goodness for the CMYK faithful, this time its the much hyped Brooklyn based indie synth pop lushness of MGMT.
According to one blog the group have stopped people linking to their new video on youtube, shame..
So instead heres some skaters doing burners and comedy skater type stuff to the track instead
The album Oracular Spectacular is out right now and this is the third release off the long player (i think)..
Accompanying the release is some quality remix by not only the french electro monster group Justice but also a crazy insane bmore version from Leif…
The Justice remx is pretty much what you would expect with some dirty crunchy synths injected at all the right places, meanwhile Leifs guttering of the track is totally delicious, he’s upped the tempo and given it some fun horn stabs and vocal samples.
Both fun but the orignal is the joint right there for me.
MGMT hit the UK for a tour this November.
Since i am in New York I just had to make the first post from here Big Apple related and since i bought this record today in a little shop in Brooklyn and its from a New York label then it just seemed like fate…
Holy Ghost – Hold On got a release in October last year.. but it still gets the odd blog mention.. I was late picking it up myself but since hearing it on an Eli Escobar mixtape I’ve had this track in my head non stop. I love the way this track holds the vocals back until you are really into the groove of the synths..
