Fool's Gold Compilation LP Out 10/25!

Posted on Oct 13th, 2010

As you may have seen on Pitchfork today, our first-ever compilation LP, Fool’s Gold Vol 1 is making its way to you fine people of planet Earth on October 25th (same day as The Suzan LP – they both got bumped to Monday cause of Taylor Swift. Good looking out ma!)

The 14 new tracks on Fool’s Gold Vol 1 are a 3-D look at where FG has been and where we’re going next. “Ray Ban Vision,” A-Trak’s robot-rocking collab with G.O.O.D. Music upstart CyHi Da Prynce, sits comfortably next to Treasure Fingers’ joyous dance pop throwback “Keep Up” and The Suzan’s rollicking cover of Miike Snow’s “Animal,” along with new tracks from other exciting, constantly-evolving talents like Kingdom, Flosstradamus, and even Lil B, who teases his forthcoming EP with the #based bass of “Freeze.”

You will be able to download Vol 1 from all fine music retailers, as well as purchase a limited-edition CD copy (and other FG treats) at Opening Ceremony boutiques worldwide. We are immensely proud to share these new tracks from our family with all of you!

Check the full tracklisting after the jump and stay tuned. Read More

Jokers Of The Scene European Tour + New Remix

Posted on Sep 17th, 2010

Jokers Of The Scene head back overseas next week to kick off their “No Gods, No Tour Managers” trek. The duo will traverse the old continent for a month, armed with only the best in dancefloor decapitators and mind expanders – including tons of new JOTS originals (which you’ll be hearing on FG very soon) and forthcoming remixes for the likes of Chromeo and Salem. Diversity!

While we’re on the topic of switching things up, the latest remix from Booth + Chameleonic’s beat lab is not a clubber at all, but a slow-rolling slice of Madchester-dipped psychedelia. JOTS’ “Treehouse Dub” of their old Ottawa neighbors The Acorn’s wonderfully named “Bobcat Goldwraith” is out this week as part of a new remix LP , but you can soak up all it’s washed out, 101 BPM glory right now thanks to our friends at RCRD LBL.

To rave things right back up, grab JOTS’ “Revolting Joks,” out now on iTunes, Beatport, and vinyl.

FADER TV Music Video Contest #1: Jokers Of The Scene "Revolting Joks"

Posted on Jul 20th, 2010

As seen on TheFADER.com:

“Resident Fool’s Gold dance maniacs Jokers Of The Scene know what a good music video looks like. And, ahem, so do we! Now that the Jokers have a new record in need of a video, we reach out to you, the upstart, unsung directors and visual artists of bloglandia, and throw down the gauntlet. SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT!

New JOTS single ‘Revolting Joks’ is a twisty piano clubber that’s just begging for a visual to compliment its jacked-up moodiness. To that end, we’re launching a contest to see who can come up with the most imaginative music video for the tune. Download the video edit here, make some magic happen, and send us the results by August 16th. The videos will be reviewed by the collective FADER and Fool’s Gold braintrusts, and the best ones will be re-posted for the world to see, earning its creators internet immortality (and some fine, fine prize packs from the label and the magazine). It’s time to revolt…”

New Nacho Lovers + Jokers Of The Scene Singles Out Today!

Posted on May 25th, 2010

Canada Day comes early! We’re immeasurably proud to drop new gems this morning from Toronto’s Nacho Lovers and Ottawa’s Jokers Of The Scene, two talented duos who have been riding with FG from the very start.

Nacho Lovers’ sophomore single “Deeper” is an uncommonly bumping house journey just in time for summer, backed by remixes from countrymen Azari + III, Mike Mind, and CFCF. Preview on Soundcloud and download on iTunes, Beatport and everywhere else fine music is sold.

The latest from Jokers Of The Scene, “Revolting Joks,” is another expansive anthem – kinky bass unfolding into haunted house piano riffs and surging synth lines for a clever, dark and massive late-night treat. After JOTS’ epic remix of “Wolfen,” Boy 8-Bit returns the favor by flipping “Revolting Joks” as only he can. You can also listen to “Joks” on Soundcloud, purchase on iTunes + Beatport, and of course hum that piano line in your sleep…

Vinyl for both is on the way as well! Stay tuned for more FG clubbers this summer from Greenmoney, K.L.A.M., LA Riots, Treasure Fingers, Duck Sauce and much, much more.
