New Kid Sister! Download it here and play loud! (There’s also a clean mix for our radio friends.) Miss Info spilled the beans on this club fire first, but we’ll let Nick Catchdubs give you the backstory now…
“Kid Sister is wrapping up a new EP and her second album – they’re both coming out crazy, and while she’s feeling the vibe, she wanted to jump on some fun stuff like we did for the Kiss Kiss Kiss mixtape. I love DJ Nehpets’ juke remix of Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation” and knew she would sound crazy on it. But I had no idea she would freak it like THIS!?!? A sweaty summer jam for Chi-town and beyond.”
The internet gods just liberated this slowed down jam from the JOTS archive last night. You need it in your life!
Party tiiiiiiiiiime…check out this great set of body music from Nacho Lovers, recorded live at the Making Shapes party in downtown LA on May 21st.
When even 50 Cent is rocking curls, you know that Summer ’11 is getting off to a particularly wavy start. So what better time to release “The Activator Mix” into the world?!?
