the interview show: THEESatisfaction
THEESatisfaction is Cat and Stas. The pair live/laugh/love/dance and create in Seattle. They were one of the first hip hop acts signed to legendary indie music label Sub Pop. This might have been seen as a bit of a weird move for an indie music label… (Sub Pop is remembered as the epicentre for all things “alternative” in the 90s–they were the home of Nirvana among many others) …But really, good music is good music.
Take a listen to THEESatisfaction, though, and you can see why Sub Pop snapped up these two talented women. They are a potent mix of introspective Slam Poetry, Black Jazz and Sunday morning soul–100% hip hop. Listen to our chat.
the interview show with THEESatisfaction
THEESatisfaction “Do You Have Time?” In the words of THEESatisfaction: “A love song about pot, or is that a pot song about love?”
Also this week, I have some bonus music for you to enjoy.
Prohaize “American Visa” Prohaize, a 20-year-old Hip Hop artist based in Atlanta, emailed me this track. Gotta admire hustle.
Dave A vs Skrillex “Skrillehammer” Montreal-based producer Dave A took an interview with dub step god Skrillex and chopped it up over a beat to make Skrillex “rap.”
DZ Deathrays “Dollar Chills” (Cadence Weapon remix) And finally Canada’s Cadence Weapon is turning up everywhere these days. Even on a remix of one of my fav bands. Cadence W is currently on tour. Catch him when he blows thru your town. He is here in Vancouver Thursday. See you there!

Who Actually Listens to Skrillex? (Video)
According to research, Skrillex fans are emotionally dysfunctional.

Ellie Goulding – Anything Could Happen
While I still don’t understand her sexual attraction to Sonny Moore, this new track from babe Ellie Goulding is pretty fresh and slightly reminiscent of our main bb Grimes.
Anything Could Happen is the lead single from Goulding’s sophomore album Halcyon, set to drop in the fall.

the interview show: Skrillex
This interview was one of the most crazy ones I’ve done recently.
Deep into a grueling tour, Skrillex did not want to do any more interviews. He was getting burned out from press (in our chat he tells me why), but somehow he got convinced to meet.
We chatted in the basement of Celebrities nightclub, since Skrillex would only do the interview in the club. If you listen closely, you can hear the beats from upstairs and the taps of feet on the dancefloor above us, along with pieces of the ceiling falling down on us.
His tour manager stood beside us during the entire chat, handing Skrillex cigarettes and drinks.
A completely insane situation, but completely worth it for the chance to talk to one of the most interesting, not to mention most talented, upstarts in electronic music.
