Killin' it.

Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez, the newest album from Slug, Murs and Aesop Rock. DOOOOPE! I've been bumpin this CD, OD status, but I can't get enough of it. Murs is tha man and Aesop, oh man he went in on tha beats. You see, every time Felt comes together to make an album, it is produced by another underground MC/producer. Watch tha pattern: The first Felt album was produced by The Grouch, fellow member of Living Legends along with members Murs & Slug. The 2nd album was produced by produced by Ant (of Atmosphere) Dj/producer and the new felt 3 is produced by MC Aesop Rock off of Definitive jux. Also, another pattern is - each album is named after actresses (Christina Ricci, Rosie Perez and Lisa Bonet.) Get hooked, get right.

Hands down, the best viedo I have every seen! Thanks to Sykco!

Another genius first person video. I couldn't find the actual full clip video of 'Smack my bitch up' with the right instrumental because it has been banned but whatever remix they sampled in this video i posted, i believe uses samples from Diesel boy's 'flight 643' , just a fun fact...or is it a fact...is it even fun?

B Side Love, always

A shameless return to the glistening, sex-saturated synth-pop revisionist duo = Chromeo! Formed in Montreal in the early 21st century, a project of Audio Research consist of Dave 1<3 lead vocals/gitar and P-Thug on keyboards, synthesizers and talk box. Regaurdless of my ever growing crush on Dave...I'm in love with their sound. Former childhood friends with a completely different look and style, come toegther and rock it. Above is an interview discussing their first DJ mix, and the first DJ-Kicks release in two years. It also includes their late exposure to quality electronic music, an email which convinced Trevor Jackson to do the album cover, [all thier album covers are dope] and what their cover of “I Can’t Tell You Why” has in common with a number of Hall & Oates hit.
Chromeo's DJ Kicks Cd releases September 28th!

Pursuit of Happiness, doh.

I previously blogged about Kid Cudi, releasing his new album "Man on the moon: End of day” and how much i dug the track "She Came Along." However, his other single is “Pursuit of Happiness” featuring RATATAT and MGMT = AMAZING. In my head, shit like this never happens and is almost too good to be true. Ratatat is my favorite indie producers and whats dope is, they finally got back up and did this new track with Cudi, still sounding like themselves, reminding me why I fell in love with them in the first place. annnnnd that's a big run on sentence on my part. Ratatat makes me swing both ways, i either throw a solo dance party in my room/car or twist up the stress-oh-la and drive to a chill spot and draw. I don't blaze anymore, but still enjoy them thoroughly. I've actually played "Loud Pipes" by Ratatat and drew to the beat/melody...my drawing was some crazy abstract piece with neon colors and dots and dashes and slashes and some other cool rhyming words that I currently cant think of. That was when I was cool and actually sat down to draw..now i just doodle, if that. In conclusion...Ratatat is awesome, and you should be just as awesome and check their sound out. MGMT is just as good. Their videos are bugged out kinda, but dope. So I'm going to read "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers while you download these tracks:



Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi, MGMT and Ratatat
Alive - Kid Cudi and Ratatat
Loud Pipes - Ratatat
Seventeen years - Ratatat
The youth - MGMT
Electric Feel - MGMT
Kids - MGMT

The Perfect verse over a dope beat.

Saturday, Eileen, Grace and myself ventured to West Babylon to kick it off for Dani, the body piercer at House of Colour - for his birthday Bash. Mission accomplished if you will. This event included the following: beer, food, Dj Tanner, endless laughs, robot dances moves, good music, bouncy castle and freestyles by your girl Grace! Risin high at 5 feet, my baby girl Grace has definitely got what it takes to rock the mic! In her vintage dress and opera magnified glasses, this little mama had flow. Everyone was awesome, I had a blast. Alex, Number 2 and even Sal came out too. Here are a few shots, that captured this night. Happy Birthday Dani!

"You're the ultimate Robot!" Grace & I. Note the kid Paul haten on our robot dance! He was saying "Are you really doing the Robot?!" As i kept doopin' him, I informed him that as you well know..."ROBOTS DANCE ALONE!" I later found out, that in a strange twist of events, Paul in fact was a fan of my robot! It is pretty standard for Grace and I to do the robot at such events...however, this groups reactions was most excellent!
