Digits x No More Strangers

Very excited for thisss.

May 8th @ Funky’s. Digits. From Toronto.

Not 2 b laxxxy…. but think Junior Boys, Erlend Oye/ Whitest Boy Alive, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys…. All yr faves right?

Digits – Monster

Digits – Sarah

Also playing Vancouver all stars, Terror Bird, Certain Breeds and the Love Dancing djs.

Digits just released the album, Hold It Close to the critical praise:

“‘Hold It Close’ is electro-indie pop at it’s best.” – CBC Radio 3
“It seems impossible to separate the the hushed soulful vocal of Alt Altman from the ghostly presence of Arthur Russell, which is of course immediately endearing.” – 20jazzfunkgreats
“Hold It Close succeeds at the seemingly impossible: simultaneously revisiting the past and time-shifting these dated sounds into something fresh and 21st century.” – Chart Magazine

Come see him for his first trip to the West Coast.

Dubby Steppie

One thing that was huge at Coachella this year was the amount of dubstep in the lineup.

I wasn’t into dubstep right out of the gate.  I pretty much hate 90% of the stuff being produced. It’s obnoxious and you need to be on meth to get down that hard.  Like a lot of genres the 5-10% that’s good is purty dece.

I’m kinda super excited for the Rusko full length coming out in May. Dubsteps big crossover act.

Rusko – Love Is Real

I don’t even really want to share this one it’s so bad ass.

The Boogaloo crew – Days Go By

This remix makes me like this song which is pretty much shit otherwise. you might even get away with playing this on da granville street 4 da hootchies in da g strings, ya know?

I fk’d up and erased the tag on this so if you know who did this remix holler, ok!? Might be Skream???

Rihanna – Rude Boi (Dubstep remix)

An oldie but a goodie.

La Roux – In For The Kill (Skream’s Let’s Get Ravey Remix)

Oh hai! n hrr’s sum chill / menacing video game shit from our v-city boy…

Babe Rainbow – Screwby

Hook up dem fat subs, smoke yrself blind n feel dem vibrationz ya hear? stay fresh.

Windy City

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUnLVNtvyS8[/youtube]

So part of Winnie Cooper is bumming around in Chicago for no good reason.

I had an eventful day here… I watched part of a Cubs game after some lady just randomly gave me a ticket, almost caught a foul ball, was stuck in an L train after a fire on the rail, and saw another fire in the Morton’s Steakhouse building.

Also, there was some kinda wind warning. I was like, “uhhhmm a wind warning in Chicago?” Holy crap them gusts were mad.
