Surprise, baby! We joined with Brownies & Lemonade for a legendary secret warehouse jam on midnight, April 1st with A-Trak b2b Born Dirty, Paper Diamond, Madeaux, Andrew Luce & Gladiator on the decks. Peep the pics!
Dive into the world of Madeaux’ new Burn LP (out now everywhere!) with this video megamix featuring album tracks and collabs with the likes of WILLS, Poter Elvinger, Zuse, Tommy Lee Sparta, OG Maco, Josh Pan, Fifi Ron and Holly.
Herculean house producer Born Dirty today returns to Fool’s Gold with “Face,” featuring LA rap hero G Perico. BD’s signature sound – tipping it’s hat to UK house and modern tech records alike – is supported by kingpin DJs worldwide. Yet “Face” is unlike anything you’ve ever heard from him before: a propulsive blend of machine gun drums and insane bass, laced by G Perico’s unimpeachable Cali flows. Play it loud!
We brought the vibes to 1-800-Lucky: an antidote to the music week madness, with disco and house sets from FG friends and fam (A-Trak, MK, Mercer, Felix da Housecat, The Magician, Treasure Fingers, Horny Dave) all night long. Peep!
Electronic music trailblazer Paper Diamond releases “Downfalls” as the second taste of his forthcoming album. Following this January’s heavy homecoming single “Work 9000” (described by Billboard as “Godly Bass-Funk”) the Polina-featuring “Downfalls” is a window into Paper Diamond’s melodic side, putting his studio versatility on full display and showcasing his artistic progression over the past two years. Turn it up!
Los-Angeles producer and electro-R&B virtuoso Hoodboi, personally known as Roger Schami, releases “Tip Of My Tongue” with TZAR today on Fool’s Gold Records. Hoodboi flexes his songwriting muscles on the new single, ditching the high-energy safety net so many electronic producers rely upon and replacing it with a confident, funky minimalism. Meanwhile, Russian songstress TZAR provides the perfect vocal counterpoint for their infectious, genre-less collaboration. Listen up!
Fool’s Gold producer/DJ Madeaux releases his highly anticipated debut album Burn. The 12-track LP is a journey into Madeaux’s varied influences and interests, melding muscular, bass-driven riffs and heady electronics with twisted collaborations from a host of guest artists including WILLS, Poter Elvinger, Zuse, Tommy Lee Sparta, OG Maco, Josh Pan, Fifi Ron and Holly. Get into it!
World’s Fair are New York. Not just the location, though no one is better equipped to rep their hometown than this collective from Queens. They are the dirt, dreams and neon, the sound of hard days and endless nights… but New York has never sounded quite like this. Since their debut tape Bastards Of The Party, WF have taken their time crafting an ambitious, future-minded album worthy of the unique personalities of Remy Banks, Nasty Nigel, Cody B Ware, Prince SAMO, Jeff Donna and Lansky Jones. “Elvis’ Flowers (on my grave)” is the warning siren: chopped up vocals and frantic breakbeats from Black Noi$e and NoLife meet adrenaline-laced bars, all building to an ecstatic, break-of-dawn bass release. Play it loud, get into some trouble, and get ready for more.
B.I.C. link back up with Nick Catchdubs for “Thought U Knew,” another unconventional banger from their forthcoming FTW EP. Hyperactive BX bars zoom over cut-n-paste string chops and bass drops for a Fool’s Gold rap cut like none other. Play this loud, preferably in a residential neighborhood!
We celebrated “Ride For Me” and it’s bananas music video with a premier party at House Of Vans featuring DJ sets from A-Trak, Brujas and Nasty Nigel, live skating and more. (Peep the photos here!) The night also served as the debut of the Fool’s Gold x SHUT skate deck and 3M tee, get yours at store.foolsgoldrecs.com and our BK shop, open noon-7pm daily at 147 Grand Street in Brooklyn. Read More
