Normally I’m not a big fan of remix projects, but sometimes shit hits hard. I heard the vocal remix of Gucci Mane‘s “It’s Alive” and I wasn’t digging it. When I heard the FunkinEven instrumental I was nodding my head. So check out this remix project that’s available as a high quality FREE DWNLD.

In Februari we posted a stream of Krystal Klear‘s banger “Tried For Your Love”, which over the last year has gotten lots of airplay by us as on the radio as well as in the clubs. Now many months later the “Tried For Your Love” EP is finally out on All City. This debut solo project is filled with four Boogie bangers including the title track. Hudson Mohawke did a remix which is also on there. This release will not disappoint all lovers of Future Funk! Free download thanks to Pitchfork and available via Rush Hour and the All City shop next week.

Buffed by adulation from all corners of the industry and backed with remixes from Hud Mo, Ikonika & Optimum, Machine Drum, and Falty DL, American Men deliver their first five tracks of Miami-lazer-rock for Lucky Me. The Glaswegian group comprise three members of the short lived Russia outfit and a current member of the hotly tipped Dananananaykroyd supergroup, playing a canny fusion of complex Math Rock and arcade game melodies. The remixes range from Ikonika and Optimum’s 8-bit Funky ride to Falty DL’s febrile beat collage and a boldly epic recomposition from Hud Mo. Get it now on Boomkat. Thanks to Perf10.

Good news for everyone! The Red Bull Music Academy is dropping the “Various Assets London 2010″ compilation album on July 19th. If you don’t know the deal yet, check out this previous post and educate yourself. We remember this year’s Academy as if it was yesterday and we’d like to give a big fat shout out to all the participants we met, hung out with and befriended. Can’t stress enough what a fantastic project this is and topping it off with a compilation album is the right way to do it.
We were given the honour of bringing you this exclusive track by TOKiMONSTA featuring Andreya Triana, Oddisee and the homie Tranqill entitled “Jackin4beats Pt. 4″. Without a doubt one of our favourite tunes on the compilation. But with artists like Dâm-Funk, Hudson Mohawke, Robin Hannibal, James Pants, 00Genesis, Katy B, Space Dimension Controller, Kidkanevil, B. Bravo, Myele Manzanza, Ad Bourke, Swede:art and a whole lot more on there, you know it gotsta be funky. Reserve some space on your harddrive for this FREE high bitrate (320) release. Unlike previous years, this release will be available digitally and for some lucky bastards in physical form too. Spread the word, download, smile, cry…do whatever you feel like doing.

Nice way to promote a huge event like Sonar is supplying the audience with some exclusive free downloads. Loving Hudson Mohawke‘s “Snapdragon” and I think you guys will like it too. Get it while it’s still available at Bleep (till June 21st)…hurry! Thnx to 92bpm.

HudMo + OliverDaySoul = WIN! In this latest “Joy Fantastic” video we see how video’s should look like in the year 2010. The animation is crazy nice and this one is going on repeat. Hopefully we can expect that new OliverDaySoul project with Oddisee very soon, cuz we heard a little sumthin’ and it sounded very promising.
Last week we bumped into our sista from another mista at the Red Bull Music Academy while she was working on a big tune with Hudson Mohawke and Dorian Concept. She had just picked up a few copies of the new Mind Travellin’ EP and we wanted to buy the first copies and show some support. Like true groupies we even asked for an autograph and that was that! Today the vinyl officially dropped worldwide and we urge everyone to pick up a copy HERE. Not only because Fatima is one of the nicest people we know, but also because her music is f*cking amazing. Nev’s favourite joint is “Soul Glo” and when I tried to sing it together with Fatima I failed miserably. Therefore my fav is “Warm Eyes” which features Dam-Funk. Don’t sleep on miss Fatima, cuz she’s well wicked…innit!? Check out some snippets and the brand new video!

Our second day here at the Red Bull Music Academy started with an insightful lecture with Dutch DJ/producerMartyn. None other than Benji B asked Martyn about his musical roots, his inspiration and his way of creating his significant sound. We also saw a chance to interact with some of the participants such as Swede:art, Kidkanevil & Manzilla (Electric Wire Hustle) and get their take on their time at the RBMA. Ex-participant Oddisee stopped by to check out the new talent and will be blessing some of the material made in the past couple of days. We received a preview of a track that 7 of the participants worked on with Hudson Mohawke and got word that HudMo will be back later this week for more sessions. The evening was reserved for a live performance by a number of participants at Queen of Hoxton. While we’re posting this Space Dimension Controller, Nando Pro, Ross McHenry & Thompson are having a private little party in the lobby with Space’s 40 records he just got as a present. We’ve never heard Dilla’s beats bang as much as they do over this Genelec soundsystem.
It is my pleasure to introduce you all to Pixelord aka Alexey Devyanin. He’s a Moscow-based veteran of experimental music, best-known for his Gultskra Artikler moniker. His debut four-track EP “Lucid Freaks” brings forth a mixture of spliffed-out 8bit riddims, stumbling Hip Hop beats and a pinch of Euro Dance glam. However unique, the weirdo plastic Pop of Glasgow’s Hudson Mowake is echoed in his tunes as well as bass-driven digital Reggae, Jahtari-style. The artwork of L.A. painter Michael Dotson makes the package complete.
This EP is available online in the form of a FREE DOWNLOAD at Error Broadcast. Also peep the remix EP (which drops later today) with remixes by Jameszoo, Coco Bryce and more. Om-Unit, eLan and Vlooper where suppost to be on the remix project too, but I guess it didn’t work out in the end.

Dutch youngin’ Jameszoo (Beatt-apes crew member) has been DJ’ing for quite some time now and has played along side of people like Cinnaman (Beat Dimensions). Also keep an eye for him on the production side, but more about that on a different note. His style is very electronic and experimental, yet he tries to put some soulfulness in the mix. Clothing brand No Rest For The Obsessed decided to approach him to make a mixtape and here it is…“NRFTO MIX 001″. Y’skid did the recording, Tommy Smits the photography and NRFTO did the cover.
