As you might have read on ze Rolling Stone, Kid Sister is hitting the road next month in support of her long awaited debut Ultraviolet (in stores 11/17) and new single “Right Hand Hi” (which, if you haven’t copped yet, you can grab here thanks to our friends at RCRD LBL). Whoo!
Album tracklisting, production credits and tour dates after the jump. Read More
Grab the new Chromeo jam “Night By Night” for free over at Green Label Sound. Guitar solos! More on the way, including remixes by Skream and Siriusmo. Don’t forget to cop the guys’ new DJ Kicks compilation, and check them on a handful of upcoming live dates before they hit the studio full-time to finish LP #3 – including a big night in NYC October 16th with a live show at Irving Plaza followed by a DJ gig (supported by some FG friends) at Webster Hall.
Another random batch of new tunes this week from Brisco, Curren$y, Jay Rock, Remi, and New Boyz & Tyga. Read More
Head over to The Fader blog for Cubic Zirconia’s moody acid remix (or cover? It’s different when you’re a band….) of Kid Cudi’s “Make Her Say.” It’s the fourth in a series of FG commissioned mixes of the tune alongside Afrojack, Nadastrom and Sammy Bananas. There’s one more in the chamber too, but we’re holding on to that one for a sec…
You can also grab the CZ mix in this new zip of tracks from the band that they’re calling the Ready To Slide EP, which also includes a hardcore track (featuring drummer Sammy Siegler from Youth Of Today and a bunch of other NYHC staples – Congorock, you listening?) and a “Moments In Love”-sampling cut that’s become a CZ live staple, along with some other odds n ends.
This just landed on our (virtual) desk – a wicked little rinse of Boy 8 Bit’s “Baltic Pine” from our UK homies Greenmoney. You can grab it here:
Boy 8 Bit “Baltic Pine (Greenmoney Baltic Porn Bootleg)” [mp3]
And be sure to grab the Boy 8 Bit original, it is excellent!
Check for Greenmoney’s debut EP out on Fool’s Gold soon. Also be sure to tune in to their weekly Brooklyn Radio show for insanely fresh jams from London and beyond. This week they’ve even got an exclusive Trackademicks remix of Zero 7!
Sammy Bananas is overseas for some Euro gigs this week, check the full info after the jump including two shows in France tonight and tomorrow (the latter alongside homies Craze & Klever!) followed by UK and Italy gigs.
If that’s not enough Banana action for you, check out his awesome midtempo remix of Kid Cudi’s “Make Her Say” (originally posted at Gotta Dance Dirty).
Fresh from some VMA red carpet stunting this weekend, Kid Sister’s back on iTunes with the official release of her “Right Hand Hi” single.
Buy it here, and also be sure to pick up the two excellent remixes from Kingdom and Kill The Noise. Big! As a treat, here’s a download of the Kingdom mix courtesy of our pals at RCRD LBL.
The “Right Hand Hi” video, more remixes, and info on Kid Sister’s album Ultraviolet are all on their way verrrrrry soon…
Before I get into it, let me just say that my favorite shit this week is Killer Mike’s Underground Atlanta compilation. It’s a two-disc behemoth and all 30+ tracks can’t be winners, but the majority of them are, and the best ones (Pill, Travis Porter, Trillville, Da Backwudz, and of course Mike himself) make for one of my favorite records this year. You can get it on vinyl too!
Ok, onto the links. Switching it up from one-off tunes this week to talk projects from DJ Boogie Boy, Fashawn & Alchemist, Dubstep LA, J Futuristic, and Trick Daddy. Now lets burn some CDs! Read More
Nick Catchdubs turned Udachi & Jubilee’s club grinder “Paypur” into a half-time rap choon and enlisted The Kid Daytona to do his thing on the verses. It goes off!
Download their “Paypur” remix here (along with clean version for the radio DJs and the original for the ravers) and purchase these and all the other remixes on Beatport.
The single comes backed by b-side “Smoke Rings,” for which there is an appropriately spazzy video (it involves aliens, weed, and a shark costume) that you can watch here.
