You can now grab all the track stems for Chromeo’s “Hot Mess” on Beatport (Marimba! Filter Marimba!), make your own remix, and win some most excellent gear (and an official release). Check Beatportal for the full details.
For more Chromeo action, hit up the Green Label Sound SXSW Showcase where they will be rocking alongside The Cool Kids, Classixx, MNDR and Mac Miller.
The last batch went in an instant, so the good folks of Pacha have given us 4 more passes to see Congorock and Benny Benassi on Friday night in NYC. To sweeten the deal, we’re also gonna throw in a Congo tee (as shown by FG intern Lindsay above) to the 1st person to leave their name in the comments. Go go go!
Done! Congrats everybody. You can still get tickets at the door if you want to go Friday. And Congorock tees (and other FG merch) is always for sale at our webstore.

“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…”
