The Brothers Macklovitch “I Can Call You”

Posted on Sep 24th, 2020

When A-Trak and Dave 1 of Chromeo teamed up as The Brothers Macklovitch, they set out to channel the sounds of their formative years: countless hours spent digging for records and falling in love with music as funk-hungry Montreal teens. The follow up to their debut single “Give Love To Get Some” (and its Waajeed and Morgan Geist remixes) is “I Can Call You” a cover of a little known 1995 gem by the R&B group Portrait, sped up and jazzed up like it came straight from their parents’ basement: with Dave on vocals Trizzy on the cuts.

Vincent The Owl & Nick Catchdubs “Pour Decisions” Video

Posted on Sep 16th, 2020

Vincent The Owl bugs out and bars out over Nick Catchdubs production in the “Pour Decisions” video, filmed on a mic-mounted GoPro in and around VTO’s Jersey City studio. The warped, lo-fi paint drip vibe of “Pour Decisions” is a perfect pairing with Vincent and Nick’s collab EP of the same name, featuring five tracks of delinquent Garden State raps atop spastic, subterranean tracks.

DJ Swisha “Nothing But Net” EP

Posted on Sep 9th, 2020

Born in Philadelphia, raised in LA and currently based in Brooklyn, club vanguard DJ Swisha is making some of the most exciting and vital dance music today. Hailed by the Washington Post as a leader in “a new generation of black artists reclaiming the roots of techno music,” the producer and DJ is a constant presence in underground speakers, whether tearing up warehouses with his Juke Bounce Werk crew or dropping legendary Boiler Room streams stuffed with Jersey Club classics, futuristic house and his own hybrid originals. DJ Swisha’s debut Fool’s Gold EP Nothing But Net shoots even higher as the purest distillation of his polyglot, polyrhythmic ethos to date: five dancefloor-first tracks including the relentless thump of “Methods” and “Fake Molly,” the hypnotic loops of the title track and “Reconstructed Club,” and even a vocal assist from fellow Philly icon Bahamadia on drum machine workout “Crypto.” Listen now!

Vincent The Owl & Nick Catchdubs “Pour Decisions” EP

Posted on Jun 25th, 2020

DJ/producer and Fool’s Gold’s co-founder Nick Catchdubs discovered Jersey City MC Vincent, The Owl online and immediately reached out, recognizing a kindred spirit and fellow Jersey-born enthusiast of all things bugged out. Early this year, the duo created a batch of tracks that would form Pour Decisions, planning to drop it as a brown-bagged collection of warm-weather jams. It’s a different kind of summer for sure, but this head-nodding EP of oddball beats and hilariously profane lyrics stays frosty at all times. Listen now!
