My last post of 2010

Ending this first blog-year with latino rapper Kurious, and a nice tune from his very good album "II" from 2009 where he has joined up with MC Search and MF Doom. Apparently they had a video budget comparable to Guns 'n' Roses' "Estranged"...



Me and the boys will return after new years eve with a top ten of 2010. Happy new year!

Zweitausendzehn

Alrighty, my posts have been few and far between - shame on me.

But just as you use christmas presents to make up for time lost with family - here's my christmas present to you: something close to a "best of 2010".

Category A - Mad Bass

Mark Ronson - Bang Bang Bang (Russ Chimes Remix)

That slappy bass after 1.30 is just off the hook.

Mark Ronson - Bang Bang Bang (Russ Chimes Remix) by Yobbin

Afrojack - Pacha on Acid

You know you're on to a hit when every act at the festival plays it as a main number. Even if it sounds like a total "Teasing mr charlie" rip off.

Afrojack - Pacha On Acid by STrance

Category B - Mad Beat

N.E.R.D. - Hot n Fun (Boys Noize remix)

Still disappointed it hasn't hit home more, I just love that mad bass beat.

NERD-Hot-N-Fun-feat-Nelly-Furtado-(Boys-Noize-Remix) by Electronic Glasgow

Carte Blanche - Gare du nord

this is just an mf techno dance anthem, period.

CARTE BLANCHE - GARE DU NORD by Riton

Category C - That Friday Feeling

Aloe Blacc - I need a dollar

Don't know what it is, but it's a f*n catchy tune.

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar by stonesthrow

Tensnake - Coma Cat

OMG, the friday feeling, OMG the friday feeling!

TENSNAKE - Coma Cat (Radio Edit) by onelovemusic >

Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand

I thought you could not follow up on aNYway, damn it I was wrong. A-track + Armand = magic!

duck sauce barbara streisand by perff

Category D - Album

For me it's really only one contender, subjectively, but because it's the only artist who's been consistent enough to have me prefer the album over other artist's songs in the itunes list. Congrats Oskar Linnros.

Oskar Linnros - 25 by underhisempire2

Peace Love and a prosperous 2011.

Good Day Today

A dope beat from Pharell and Chad.



A great tune from, apparently a multi talented, David Lynch. It comes with a couple of remixes due to be released next month, listen to the Boys Noize version below. I’m looking forward to hear what Norway’s Diskjokke makes of it.

Have a merry Dipset christmas!

Juelz Santana knows how to celebrate christmas...

When The Saints go Machine

Here you go; some great Danish indiepop/scando-disco.

(Piano + Electric Guitar) x Rock'n'roll = The shit

This week I finally got to see my favourite swedish band, The Soundtrack of Our Lives, and while listening to a great version of Saturation Wanderers I got inspired to make a post about perhabs the best kind of rock: piano based classic rough rock'n'roll. Adding piano to electric guitar, a simple drum beat and bass in the right way - like in the examples below - makes magic.

Starting out with Stones, who really mastered this kind of rock on their masterpiece Exile on main street:


After their raw debute, Guns came back with slick and bombastic productions on Use your illusions I and II, including a lot of piano:


Movin' on up by Primal Scream was released the same year as Use your... and is a bright spot on an otherwise mediocre album (Screamadelica):


Last but not least our swedish heroes TSOOL, and the song named above in a aucustic version:

Go Norway!

I’ve posted a lot of Hip Hop today so I’m signing off with something a bit different, something old but gold; Titanic with the song Sultana.

The Joy pt 2

The Joy, the best beat and perhaps the best song of 2010? Well, before Mr West paid a lot of dollars to Pete Rock for it, Strong arm Steady used it and the result is presented below. However I’m still sold for Jay Z’s verse in the “official” version, it’s funny though how similar Kanye and Kid Cudi sounds. Don’t be surprised if this beat shows up in a lot of mixtapes the coming months, Rah Digga has already used it. If I can make a wish for Christmas I would like to get a Curren$y/Lill Wayne/Wiz Khalifa collaboration or perhaps an Andre 3000/Raekwon/Ghostface/Bun B version.



And here’s the Mr West version once more, since it disappeared from the first post a couple of weeks back.

Black man is God, the Black woman is Earth

Grand Puba, KRS-ONE and DJ Premiere enlightens us about the forgotten 5% movement, The Nation of Gods and Earths. (Unfortunately only a Radio Rip)

NYC Thugcore

Some excellent dark and raw NYC Thugcore from Roc Marciano. His latest album Marcberg was released earlier this year and it’s well worth a listen. The song below; “Scarface Ni**a”, will be included in the updated version of the album.

Chris Brown is G.O.A.T.

No not really. But here's a reeeeeally good remix of his song Deuces. It features a bunch of good rappers, and as usual Andre 3000 shines brightest. Enjoy in the winter dark.

Rock and Roll is dead, long live Rock and Roll.

This week I've spent most of my time watching old concert recordings. Rock really isn't what it once was. Or as Fredrik Strage puts it:

"Tusenfotingen illustrerar också den känsla som jag i pessimistiska stunder får av att rocken blir sämre och sämre. Artister som härmar sina idoler tycks ofta vara fastsydda vid förebildernas stjärtar. De sväljer deras sämsta idéer, gör influenserna ännu sämre och för dem vidare till nästa artist i kedjan. Denna process, en inverterad förädling, visar varför exempelvis den svenska gruppen Takida låter så illa. De kryper sist i en mänsklig tusenfoting där stjärtarna framför dem tillhör den amerikanske ”Idol”-deltagaren Daughtry, postgrungebandet Nickelback och Kurt Cobains spöke."

Anyway, 40 years has past and this still ranks pretty high up there. I wonder who will remember Linkin Park and Pink 40 years from now.

I have to agree with Bob, bättre förr.

Bättre förr

Not the biggest fan of Robyn’s latest work (I know you are not allowed to say this in Sweden) but I think that A-Trak did quite a good job with this one.

The real deal this time?

After years of rumours and several postponements it finally seemes as if the long wait soon will be over: Dr. Dre has announced that Detox will be released this year! Damn, I've been waiting for that confirmation. Below is a new track from Dre, not sure if it will be on the album though.



And just to celebrate, here's a classic:

Wiz

A nice chillout remix by the Cookin' Soul.

El Guincho

One piece of stellar video. And a pretty nice song aswell.

EL GUINCHO | Bombay from MGdM | Marc Gómez del Moral on Vimeo.

Hot 97

Pusha T and Mr West having a good time with Funkmaster Flex.



Mike Skinner with another one, he always uses really good and original beats, maybe Nas should follow him around for a while.

Welcome 2 Houston

Ok, it's time to do another city specific post like I've done once before. This time the aim is set on Houston, deep down in the dirty south. While Atlanta might have been the capital of southern rap for the general public since the early 00's, Houston have been lurking right behind for some time with a wide range of great rappers that been around for a while. I really like the H-town rap, it's somehow laidback and hardcore at the same time, and a bonus is that you always can find every track from Houston in a chopped and screwed version...

Chamillionaire may have gove broke and made some bad music the last years, but in the beginning/middle of the 00's, he and partner in crime Paul Wall made a couple of really nice albums, e.g. Get ya mind correct and Controversy sells. Here's a track from the former.




You can't find a more relaxed rapper than Devin the Dude. All his albums evolves around two subjects; smoking weed and fucking. In the long run it may not be that interesting, but on the other hand that doesn't matter when he's done masterpieces like this:




A personal favourite of mine is Slim Thug. As I mentioned in an earlier post, he's not the best rapper or anything, but he's got a good feel to it when spitting those bars. Neptunes produced Already Platinum from 2005 is gold, and last years The Boss of all bosses is also good. The headline of this post is taken from the posse cut below from that very album.




I've saved the best to last: UGK. Formed by Pimp C and Bun B, UGK started dropping bombs in the late 80's and they didn't stop until Pimp C drank too much of that purple and was found dead in december 2007 (not even that seems to have stopped him though since both an UGK album and a solo album has been released after that). UGK has a ton of respect in the game but never really got that big public breakthrough, even though they featured Jay-Z's banger Big Pimpin. To me, UGK are among the absolute best, and therefore they'll get two tracks in this post.






Another monster post done.

Daytona 500

Nice slow groove from The Kid Daytona and Bun B.

Trust Me

Mike Skinner with a new video for an "old" song.

Joy

Mr West gives us another great one, this time with a beautiful Curtis Mayfield sample.

Best of 2 worlds

One of the best MC’s of 2010, Curren$y freestyling over a beat by one of the best techno/ambient/various/ghostly/notown/whatever of all time Gold Panda.



Be sure to check out Curren$y’s Pilot Talk and Gold Panda’s Lucky Shiner. Two albums that are among the top 20 of 2010.

Remedy

Crookers and Miike Snow gets a nice make over by Magik Johnson.

Rock-a-billy

I'm in the middle of nowhere, Sweden, thousands of miles from Daft Punk and mixtapes. Music though, is always present, here only in a different shape.

Fuck Me

I wish I could have taken part in this French orgy, yesterday, at Madison Square Garden.

3 for 1 revisited

The last time I gave you three versions of a thick J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League beat (here), and this time it's singer/producer Ryan Leslie's turn. I don't know much about him other than that he has produced this wicked beat (and that he featured the song in the post below) that I first found on Clipse's mixtape "Road to til' the casket drops" and later on Cory Gunz "The Best kept secret". As usual, Clipse does it like no other, but let's start of with the original song.

GGGGG-unit!

With the exception of a few bangers, I've never been a fan of Fiddy and his fellow companions (servants?) in G-unit. So when I heard Lloyd Banks was releasing an album I couldn't have been more indifferent, but then I ran in to this song the other day, and I must give it to old Lloyd - this is good.

Funny guys, right here!

As Bob already has noted here and here, Ok Go are pretty good at making impressive videos to their songs. Here's another one, and I just can't figure out why it took three years for it to get to me. It's gold Jerry, gold! And it actually has a really good song to it.

OK Go - Do What You Want (Wallpaper Version) from OK Go on Vimeo.

The Heat

A former Guinness Book record-holder and a chef making sweet music. The Heat will be featured on Twista’s upcoming album; The Perfect Storm

But call me uncle, uncle Cam

Cam'ron seems like a quite strange guy in many ways; he's been beefing with every rapper possible (including his co-members of Dipset), he used to wear only purple, and he's disappeared from the limelight for quite som time, only communicating through taped messages on Internet (mostly disses of course). In between all this he's done some good music - far from everything, but some. Last year dropped his first album in three years, Crime pays, containing this banger:



I'll also give you an old favorite of mine from Diplomatic Immunity vol. 1 by Dipset.



And as Cam'ron states in Clipse's Popular Demand, from now on you can call me uncle as well!

Rock is dead?

Some time ago, me and High School discussed why good solid rock is so rare these days. We never got to a conclusion, we only agreed that it's a shame. This might not be the new Zeppelin, but still nice. Heavy, psychedelic and trippy.

Tweak Bird - 09 - Flyin' High by souterraintransmissions

9 views

Not sure if I've ever seen so few hits on a video before, and it's a kind of a shame since this is a quite nice piece.

A bear totally tearing up Hakan

Found this little nugget of twisted grime/dubstep meeting a real hero of mine.

Although the original is one of my alltime favourite songs and also album, I must say that this total slaughter of Hakan's epic pop is spell binding.

I gues the vocals really go well with the aggressive beats. Kind of what Punks Jump Up did to Kent or Lykke Li.

Håkan Hellström - Mitt Gullbergs Kaj Paradis (EN BJÖRNEN RMX) by EN BJÖRNEN

Moullinex

Moullinex is one of my favourites when it comes to remixes. Now more and more self-titled stuff is out here, and hard not to like. If you need the jumpsuitworkout/hipswaying/can't-help-that-my-feet-are-dancing-feeling, here's to ya. Have a nice weekend!

A (techno) fish out of water

Ok, I'm not even going to claim that I know shit about hiphop in this forum, but I know what I like and I like this. It's not new stuff, but hey - it swings.

Perhaps not so surprising when brining together Biggy, Jigga and that Ratatatatatatat stuff.

For full remix albums go to Ratatat.

Barbra again

I know Mr MLK already posted this gem, but I think this video still is worth posting. A couple of cool cats in this one.

Tron

Anyone heard of it? I've never, and I don't think I would have cared either if it wasn't for the fact that Daft Punk is making the score to the sequel, 28 years later.

In Tron: Legacy, Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn, a videogame developer that has disappeared into "a digital frontier that will reshape the human condition". It looks kinda cool, and hopefully (probably) Homem-Christo and Bangalter have made magic happen once again.

The soundtrack release is November 22nd, and the movie premieres December 17th in selected cities.

Hard factz

Mickey Factz is another of those guys I've heard feature tracks on a number of mixtape, and apparently he's about to release something of his own quite soon. "Paradise" is a really good track.

The next big thing?

Remember Ariel Ortega? Pablo Aimar? Both supposed to be the new Maradona but none of them managed to live up to the expectations.

Designated as the heir to Nas and signed by Jay-Z label Roc Nation, North Carolina rapper J. Cole now faces the same challenge. No wonder, Villematic sounds somewhat familiar...

But so far so good, I guess time will tell.

Album is due Oct. 26, let the comparisons begin! Ortega or Maradona?

Crystal Fighters

My 2nd post about these guys. A new video for their song Follow, not on the same level as the previous one but still great. On the 4th of October the album drops, I'm counting the days...

Strong Arm Steady

Magic Madlib production here, Strong Arm Steady - Cheeba Cheeba, listen to the beat boys and girls. Maybe a bit drug romantic but nevertheless a good tune. This song is from the album In Search of Stoney Jackson, 100% produced by Madlib, so if you like this song click this link.

Kanye

More from Mr West's G.O.O.D. Friday drops, it's always nice to hear Mos Def and Reakwon over soft clean beats.

Wicked Weekend

This weekend the four of us had three days of male bonding at its best. Polish drinks, stellar music, b-ball and a norwegian house party. What's not to like. Big up to High School for pizza, clean sheets and a fantastic pair of jeans. While waiting for the next house party, here's another funky one.


Got To Go - Damn!

Voz Vibrante | MySpace Music Videos

Mellowhype

Up and comming LA kids; Mellowhype with their CocainKeys

Ok, MLK is posting like he's never done before, so I have to even out the balance. Here's a track from the worlds largest drug lord Rick Ross, and it's really good.

Last train from London?

Adding another banger from SW4..
It has been quite slow from Ed Banger as far as I know lately, anyhow this train banger is really a massive one in my book.

On the fine line of techno and electro - it is a winner!
Boom !

In a pool of women, all of you drowning in Barbara

Belated post from MLK, now reporting from W2 London (but musically East..)
Anywho - SW4 festival a couple of weeks back gave us the release of this gem from Armand Van Heldens outfi Ducksauce (with A-Trak). Disco at its finest from the Disco/electro prodigy from NYC.

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand (Original Mix) (747 Rip) by Some Kind of Awesome

Here's something for all you electro heads

Ok, this will be a different post. Today I somehow got to think about the Nintendo 8 bit game Megaman. It's always been one of my favourite game series of all time, and I remember that I used to think our blue hero, Buster, was the dopest guy there was, with all the different bosses not far behind. Running down those those platform courses, firing the Mega Buster at Dr. Wily's army of evil robots was pure enjoyment encapsulated in a small piece of grey plastic. It still is.

So why am I wasting a post on this? Well, it's simply because the music in the five first Megaman games still is unmatched in gaming history coming to quality. I've listened to it at work today, and it's so fkn great in it's minimalistic but still thick midi sound I felt I had to remind you all of it. Here's two fantastic tracks from Megaman 3, even though game nr. 5 is my favourite (and the one where I - still - have most skill). Enjoy!

Dollar bill yao

Curren$y have been in the loop for a while now, and here he is with a hard track featured by Killa Kyleon. Nothing more to say today.

Genius from Nottinghamshire

Star Slinger is Darren. Darren makes great music, such as May I Walk With You? below. Be sure to visit his bandcamp to listen to more of his music.

Star Slinger "May I Walk With You?"

Texas tea

Freddie Gibbs feat. Chuck Inglish (The Cool Kids), Chip Tha Ripper, Bun B & Dan Auerbach (Black Keys). Bun B is everywhere these days, I like it.

Boston Tea Party

Boston naitives Termanology and Statik Selektah have joined forces under the name "1982", and they've already released two videos getting me excited for the full album.

Friday

Friday again, and with this tune from The Midnight Magic remixed by Jaques Renault I guarantee that you will get into the perfect mood. Have a nice weekend!

Monster team

New song with a nice and dirty sound from Kanye with friends, would be even better if Mr West stayed behind the mixer, letting his friends do more of the MC:ing…

Darker and slower

Summer already seems long gone and the beautiful yet anguished autumn is around the corner. I won't fight it, instead I'm embracing it and letting it wrap its arms around me. Yesterday evening I turned on the telly just in time to catch this highlight from The Virgin Suicides, there's definitely something about french electronic duos. And now I'm already halfway into swept-into-a-blanket-with-almost-no-pulse-mode.

A sampling

It’s been a while since I took the time to scout the blogosphere for new music, but thanks to a half broken neck and therefore a cancelled release party it finally happened. A sampling of my evening:


Black Milk ft a tattooed Royce Da 5'9" and Elzhi:




A lot of Wu Tang here on the blog lately, but why stop with that. Here is one of the new tracks from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2: The Gold Deluxe Edition:




Amazing funky re-edit from Rayko:




They’ve been around for a while, getting better and better and better:

The Wu once again..

Just building off on Bobs last post, and to the fact that I finally got to see a Wu-Tang concert last weekend (perhaps better for the nostalgic value than for the performance, and kinda' embarrassing when Gza wanted the audience to answer, and only 10 people knew the lyrics - but it was fun anyway), here's another Wu post; A couple of months ago, Ghost, Rae and Meth joined up and released "The Wu-Massacre", and it's a quite nice album. All of them still has great skills at the mic, and it's kinda' liberating that the album's only about 40 minutes long, including a couple of skits. In general I think many musicians are making too long albums (especially when listening to a lot of mixtapes), not like in the old days where 8-10 tracks were enough and all of them were quality songs. Those good old days...

10 years with the Wu

Perhaps we will finaly get to see this one. A new trailer from GZA at least.

Twin Peaks

If anyone had told me this series was this good I wouldn't have waited 20 years. But it was worth the wait. If you haven't seen it, just do it. You won't regret it. This, the "Dance of the dream man" is just one of the masterpieces signed Angelo Badalamenti.

...and now the Wu!

In other words - it's going to be a great weekend in Gothenburg. I've already made a long post expressing my feelings for the Wu, but here's some more love while waiting for this first week back from vacation to end.

wow!

Jay Electronica is coming to Way Out West!

Ha Ha Ha HA

Exceptional beat from the Italian born Fid Mella! Ha Ha Ha Ha is from the new album Hi-Hat Club vol 4: Chop Shop, together with fellow producer Brenk. And as the name says, a lot of chopping going on here.

World Unite/Lucifer Youth Foundation

New song from a mysterious Manchester band, I’ll leave you with that. Very good though.

One more

Do you remember OK Go? I posted their video for This Too Shall Pass a while back (if you haven’t seen it already you should definitely check it out here). Now they return with another phenomenal video, the new song, End Love, isn’t as good as the previous one but it doesn’t matter with a video like this.

Go West!

When The College Dropout came in 2004 I'm sure DJ High School already knew what was coming, but I was blown away. Who's this West fella? A producer? What a producer. The followers though hasn't been as good (if you ask me) and his behaviour at the VMA last year was best described by Barack Obama. September 14 it's time for his fifth album with the somewhat interesting title Good Ass Job. When I first heard this assumed first single it reminded me a bit of reverend West, and now I'm looking forward to September 14.

Kanye West – Power (Feat. Dwele)

V A C A T I O N

Sleep, eat, coffee, bathe, sleep, stroll, Tour de France, sausage, cheese, ham, sleep, eat, bathe. An extract from my week so far, and the rest will look pretty much the same. What's not to like. I've also have had the time to find some nice tunes to put in my pocket for upcoming strolls.



Making Fever Ray sound so jolly is just fantastic.




Fake Blood makes wicked remixes, and apparently he also knows how to make a disco anthem in 2010...




While one A-town rapper releases a long expected album, another one is about to release his first. Donnis "Fashionably Late" mixtape was released a few weeks ago, and this is my favourite, with a nice sample from La Roux In for the Kill.




Speaking of La Roux. She's the perfect example of an artist-whose-music-is-really-ordinary-and-dull-until-someone-talented-comes-along-and-saves-the-day. As in this case, datA.




And to round off this evening, from my OldiesGoldies-collection. The only thing I know is that they are from Belgium, but that's also everything I need to know as long as they keep doing what they do.

Too long I know, but what the hell. It's my vacation.

Dangeresque

This was the beginning of a love affair. Since then, Danger and I have had a lot of great moments. Now I'm feeling like Brian May, there's a new kid on the block. Ishivu is a youngster (17...) from Gothenburg who sure knows how to crank the filter knobs. I think this is the beginning of another beautiful friendship.

A-team

A while ago this years weirdest collaboration was released; MF Doom's and Sacha Baron Cohen's EP "The Mask and the Moustache". They call themselves MF Borat, and I don't know how closely they have worked togehter with the EP, or if MF Doom just have been inspired by Borat, but I do know the music is good.



MF Doom has done alot of great - and strange - music since the late 90's/early 00's, such as Operation Doomsday (1999), Vaundeville Villain (2003), MM..Food? (2004 - my favourite) and The Mouse & the Mask (2005) as DangerDoom, together with Dangermouse, and he's used almost as many aliases as Kool Keith (who has the world record in alias-using). Below is "Rap Snitch Knishes" from MM..Food?

Finally here!

Late last night I got a text message from Bob, reading something like "feels like Sir Lucious Left Foot The Son Of Chico Dusty can be the album of this summer, it's fkn nice", and I couldn't have said it better myself.

I've had high expectations for this album ever since I first heard Big Boi was releasing a solo album, and I've mentioned it here on the blog at least twice. Now that it's here, it's not letting anyone down, and I'm sure it will be seen as one of this years best albums when 2010 is summarized. Go listen to it!

Southern slang

I've been listening to some new rap lately, but I havn't really found anything worth posting. Instead, I'll throw out a tip of a classic: Scarface's "The Fix" from 2002. In many ways, Houston naitive Scarface (together with Outkast) was the first rapper from the south who really gained respect all over the U.S., and he truly broke stride for the wave of rappers we've seen coming out of the south this last decade.

"The Fix" is a brilliant album from start to finish, with bangers such as My Block (feat. Kanye West), In between us (feat. Nas), and below Guess who's back (feat. Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel).



While I'm at it, I might as well give you a track from another H-town rapper, Slim Thug. This song was released on a mixtape for the NBA all star game in Dallas earlier this year, and it's kinda' suitable now that "The summer of Lebron" has got its ending with him joining up with D-Wade and CB4 in Miami. Nothing but a ring would be a disapointment, right?

Swedish open

Although the name of the band is Tennis I don’t think that this song will be heard at Peppes Bodega this week. It’s a nice summer song though and a band that we will hear more from in the future.

In the summer

Crystal Fighters, one of the coolest bands around are back with a follow up to the epic Xtatic Truth. This song is called In the Summer and I tip my hat, they have done it again.

Reflection Eternal - 3peat!

As previously pointed out( here , here and here) by Bob"bleading edge" Hurts, Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli + Hi Tek) are out with a strong album this year.

I've been giving it a fair amount of airtime and cannot stop playing "Midnight Hour" featuring Estelle. I just fell in love with the mix of "doo wop", fidget and smooth beats.
Maybe not something for the clubs, but something to enjoy.

Over-n-out

E

A trippy video and not the official one but I think this version fits better with the lyrics. Taken from MGMT’s latest album that unfortunately doesn’t contain all those remix-friendly dance floor hits as Oracular Spectacular.

DJ Highschool is giving you that midsummer vibe...

...just as MLK in his post below. Here's Sleepy Brown with "Me, My Baby & My Cadillac" and I can just say that's the way life suppose to be...

Bust a move!

Time for some old school stuff.

This beat/hook is just so good. Kind of forgot about this track for a while - but now it is back.

The video is just pure gravy!

But it is midsummer - so cannot let you go without a little something something for the weekend.

This remix of one of the most suited songs for a summer (after-)party just has a wicked rmx.

Fleetwood Mac Everywhere (Psychemagik Edit) by Psychemagik

Have a good weekend boys and girls!

The Whining Swedes ride again

Only six months after their latest release (Röd) the depressed Eskilstuna boys are back again. The new record "En plats i solen" is said to sound more like the early Kent, congratulations to all depressed emokids out there! The first double(?) single is out now, and with a name like this it's hard not to like it.

Kobeee!

Last night I sacrificed my sleep to watch LA Lakers beat the Boston Celtics in game 7 of the NBA finals, becoming back-to-back champs. I just felt like celebrating Kobe, Pau, Ron-Ron, Fisher, Lamar and the others in purple and gold (Sasha with those two critical freethrows in the final minute!) with this banger from a Staple Center regular.

Greater and Greatest!

What a night in terms of musical findings.
One from Chemical Brothers "Escape Velocity" which must be this years summer/Radio1 Banger!
Amazing electronic battle weaponish sound, gotta love it and looking forward to catching them at WoW or maybe more likely dance my ass of when Erol (or someone with equally good taste) drops it.



2nd one is a pure steal from friends over att Oddly Amazing (big up!) and features francolectro at it's best with kick as videos, snare drums and amazing funk. Breakbot really made Amsterdam's Paradisio come to live earlier this year, and let's hope he keeps going!

Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours (feat. Irfane) - HD from Ed Banger Records on Vimeo.

Over-n-out!

Keith Schofield = Genius

In my last (and first) post, I discovered director Keith Schofield. I'm just gonna leave you with a potpurri of great stuff he's been involved in. Enjoy!
