“looter allet er sloog!” .. . probably my fave 90’s dance track..
Jeff Ladouceur
If you’ve been downtown lately you’ve seen local boy Jeff Ladouceur’s “Floater” anchored above the Vancouver Art Gallery. Like every working artist he’s living in Brooklyn at the moment but he just launched a new website to keep us in the loop back home.
When I go to Lagos…
I had this heated debate with Lex over Calvin Harris and what he’s good for. I mean, I didn’t exactly hate Respectable in the 80’s… but I also realized that I didn’t exactly like Respectable in the 80’s. It’s kinda like socks. Most of the time, you just wear the first pair you grab, it don’t matter. Anyhow, I came to the conclusion that Mr. Merry Maker’s production may kinda sort of slightly be interesting? Annnnnd that’s about it.
Okay, so it wasn’t really a heated debate… more like a glossed over, split second, uninspired symposium.
I guess the point I was trying to get across was that Harris should stick to production. I think he does some good remix work (see Ting Tings remix) and me likes the beats on the Dizzee track. It’s catchy. I could care less about Calvin’s adorable little rap-sing, but whatever. Ja Rule rap-sings. Here’s another example to support my argument… Afrikan Boy with some raps over Vegas. I think this is fire!
K I’ma go get a haircut now… later friends.
Is this real.. .
I wanted to share this track with all those disappointed with Dizzee’s recent collabo with Mr. Merrymaker.. . I share and completely understand your pain.. This rare track should cheer you up though.
I mean if Dizzee needs to get on a party joint, he should just get Youngsta to lace him up with another “Stand Up Tall”.. . don’t you think? Calvin Harris… Respectable in the ’80’s.. . i mean come on. you have to admit, the guy’s sort of a Todd. . check out Calvin’s “RapSing” in the “Dance Wiv Me” video here.. . really uncool.
anywho, sorry to vent. moving on.. check out these unrelated pics.. .
FUZZY
I bought a Nintendo Wii over the weekend. The thing’s mad fun and I was bumpin’ this FUZZY PEACH MIX by Diplo while I “played” sports. It’s got the usual bangers on it, but there’s some more obscure gems on there too. Cop the mix HERE.
K, I was gonna post more but this wireless connection is getting on my last nerve. I’m out for now… think I’ll “play” golf right now.
Here Cums The Spider
These drawings made me laugh. Another one of my favorite superheroes is the RZA. Did you ever see this video of him explaining how he invented Final Scratch technology in Switzerland?
REmixEPjUSTice
Like you haven’t heard enough justice remixes.
Check these out from Epsilon. Pretty noteworthy. Check out their blog for similiar remixes from the Bloody Beetroots and Digitalism.

Justice-Let There Be Light (EPsilon Remix)
Yoav!!!
Yoav is a singer-songwriter in the vein of Jose Gonzalez. Living all over the world—NYC, London, Cape Town and Israel—has informed his music. Despite this, Yoav tells us he found his unique sound while on a mushroom trip in New York’s Central Park. It’s difficult for a singer-songwriter with just an acoustic guitar to sound unique, however, on his first record, Yoav manages to stand apart.
Songs played on the show…
1) Yoav “Beautiful Lie”
2) Yoav “There Is Nobody”
3) Yoav “Club Thing”
4) Tori Amos “Precious Things” (snippet)
5) Yoav “Adore Adore”
Hey, Scott Wood here. Happy holiday weekend, folks!
Yoav is the perfect music for that chill summertime BBQ dinner party. It’s getting dark. The garden/patio lanterns are starting to glow. The second bottle of Merlot is uncorked. You want to put on something that no one has heard about–yet. Something a little less tired than Jack Johnson. And James Blunt is out of the question.
Pop-Styles 2
I was on Ministry of Sound a couple weeks ago looking for some hetero-electronica cheese videos (girls working out, girls playing soccer, girls working out, girls playing sax, girls working out, nurse-girls cloning guys and testing them to make sure they’re heterosexual). I wanted to see if there were any new ones that topped the pinnacle of the genre, Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction. Didn’t find anything, however I was pleasantly surprised by this amazing peice of work (DIY net culture electro steez?). Awesome song too.
If you live in the UK you can buy this single on iTunes UK.
Frank Musik - Three Little Words
Pop-Styles
Here are a couple popular blog-style electro-indy hits. Not sure how well these embody the DIY internet culture that spawned their style, but who cares: they’re catchy and they’re popular.
Katy Perry - Kissed A Girl ( <–on fire )
