Check this interview with Hervé speaking on his brand new Ghetto Bass compilation, which handily includes Jokers Of The Scene’s “Baggy Bottom Boys (DZ Ravestep Remix)” among its 36 tracks. You can also cop that track by itself on the digital version of JOTS Acid Bagg EP on Beatport and all other digi retailers.
This weekend Jokers Of The Scene hit the United Kingdom for shows at London’s Cargo (2.20) and Glasgow’s Arches (2.21) with L-Vis 1990 and Brodinski, respectively. They’ll also be rocking Sinden’s Kiss FM radio show Thursday night (though not sure when that episode will air yet). Check em out if you’re in the neighborhood!
If you can’t make it out to the UK on such short notice, enjoy these mp3s of JOTS last two radio appearances on the Indie 103.5 (RIP) Neon Noise show and Annie Mac’s BBC 1Xtra Mash-Up programme (thats how they spell it over thurr), tracklists and download links for both after the jump. Read More
Finally! Ever since the early digital release, we were eagerly waiting for the arrival of Jokers Of The Scene’s Acid Bagg EP and Nacho Lovers’ “Acid Life / Go On” single to return from the vinyl plant. And waiting. And waaaaaiiiiiting. But no more! You can cop these club anthems on fat slabs of wax from Turntable Lab starting today. Do it!
>> Jokers Of The Scene Acid Bagg 12″ EP (WHITE VINYL!)
>> Nacho Lovers “Acid Life / Go On” 12″ single
This week the Fool’s Gold international DJ exchange program brings another new star to our shores, as the big beat frenzy of Italy’s Congorock comes to Toronto, Winnipeg, NYC and Los Angeles (the last one is a real doozy, a free show with our boys Rusko and AC Slater also on the bill). Peep all the party dates after the jump.
This mini-trek is meant to amp everyone up for the release of Congorock’s debut Fool’s Gold 12″ single “Runark,” a bleep-ed out club monster that comes backed with a massive remix by labelmates Jokers Of The Scene and two more originals, all wrapped up in psychomystical sleeve art by Dust La Rock. Vinyl is in production now, and you can get the digital version (with a bonus remix by His Majesty Andre) exclusively at Turntable Lab starting Feb 24th, with all other digi retailers to follow. “BIIIIIG CHOOOON” says us. “THANKS!” says y’all. You’re welcome. Read More
Following this weekend’s Radiohead love, the JOTS boys find their anthem “Baggy Bottom Boys” hitting the top 10 charts of everyone from UK beat heroine Annie Mac to German house don Sharam Jey to Italian distortos Bloody Beetroots to international blog obsessives Grindin. More to come!
(Sidebar: always wanted someone to call their list section “Who Charted?” but alas…)
Meanwhile, the Jokers’ sooper scary tech remix of The Subs’ “My Punk” is out now, and you can grab it at Discobelle or Fluokids. Their remixes of Congorock’s “Runark” and Bag Raiders’ “Fun Punch” will be out on FG shortly, along with a bunch of other mixes for other artists/labels, so stay tuned…
Killahbeez just posted a quick Q&A with Treasure Fingers, check it out for info on his studio setup, upcoming plans and more. You can also find Mr Fingers on a mini Canadian rampage with Jokers Of The Scene this week, teaming up for shows at Celebrities in Vancouver on Friday (1.23) and Pawn Shop in Edmonton on Saturday (1.24).
For the second FG guest set on Scion radio this month, tune in and listen to Jokers Of The Scene dropping all sorts of heat on Rub Radio (along with DJ Revolution?!?!) right here.
The Ottawa reign of terror continues to burn Hollywood burn like Flavor Flav on nitrus. Check Jokers Of The Scene tonight (1.15) guesting at Dance Right at La Cita and listen in Saturday for their set on Indie 103.1’s Neon Noise show at Midnight. Then on Tuesday they rock the Dance party (truth in advertising!) at Arena. Flyer for that one after the jump.
UPDATE: Since 103.1 stopped broadcasting on Friday (PS: FUUUUUUCK!), the JOTS mix will only be available on the station’s online stream. But the airwaves loss is your gain, since the guys are using the night to play Trust in the OC. Whoo! Read More
Jokers Of The Scene return to Cali next week with two shows, first at the Viper Room on Jan 14th, followed by a guest set at the notorious Dance party at Arena on the 20th. Meet them in the rave cave – and if you wanna do that from the comfort of your own home, give a listen to Neon Noise on Indie 103.1 FM Saturday night at midnight for a special guest JOTS set.
As alluded to in the recap, we shot some video with Red Foxx at his uber-ravey Heartthrob party in Boston on an off-night during the FG Remixed Tour. The footage was for Jokers Of The Scene’s “Baggy Bottom Boys” video, and Mr Foxxy and the JOTS lads will be filming much more their Disorganised party at Babylon in Ottawa this Friday (aka tonight!). Roll through if you’re in the area, and stay tuned to the blog for more vid updates. Meanwhile, grab “Baggy Bottom Boys” and the rest of the tracks on JOTS’ Acid Bagg EP on Beatport or iTunes now. The long-awaited vinyl release drops later in the month!
