This weekend in Lausanne, Switzerland you can rock with our own Nick Catchdubs and a who’s who of FG friends and family (Sinden, Craze & Klever, Kill The Noise, Vega, Zombie Nation and more) at the annual Electrosanne festival. There Will Be Rave! Peep Catchy the night before at Club Juicy in Oslo.
Nick Catchdubs turned Udachi & Jubilee’s club grinder “Paypur” into a half-time rap choon and enlisted The Kid Daytona to do his thing on the verses. It goes off!
Download their “Paypur” remix here (along with clean version for the radio DJs and the original for the ravers) and purchase these and all the other remixes on Beatport.
The single comes backed by b-side “Smoke Rings,” for which there is an appropriately spazzy video (it involves aliens, weed, and a shark costume) that you can watch here.
For all y’all BK folks, don’t miss Fool’s Gold’s own Sammy Bananas and Nick Catchdubs tonight at Nick, DJ Ayres and Jubilee’s Flashing Lights party, going down at Glasslands. Big!
There’s still time to RSVP at flashinglightslightslights.com for reduced entry and / or win tickets from Flavorpill. Click here for a hint to their contest question, and download a bushel of Sammy mp3s here.
Here’s some footage (shot by our dude Red Foxxworth no less) of Donnis’ mixtape release party under the Brooklyn Bridge. You had to have been there to feel the sweaty good vibes, but this gives you a little idea (plus Kid Sis + Nick Catchdubs check in with some cameo shouts). And if you haven’t grabbed Diary Of An ATL Brave yet… STOP SLEEPING! After the jump, check Donnis and Pill freestyling over “My Patna Dem” at East Village Radio. Read More

The FG fam continues to be proud participants in the live backyard vibes at LA’s funnest party! Download Nick Catchdubs’ 8/16 set here, and grab A-Trak’s set from the previous week here.
Last week Fool’s Gold was proud to take part in Converse’s 1st annual “Band Of Ballers” tournament. As player/GM (ha!) I put together a scrappy team including Donnis and soopamanager D Solo, Sammy Bananas, and DJ Jayceeoh. NCAA experience, mustaches, high socks – we had it all. A-Trak suited up like a French Canadian Pat Riley on the sidelines as coach, and we took on the competition with championship swag while Cipha Sounds soundtracked it Miss Info and FG fan Peter Rosenberg did play-by-play. Did I mention there were video girls? Spectacle.
Game 1 was a resounding FG victory against the Mad Decent team, followed by a Game 2 loss to Jim Jones and fam. We still made the semi-finals though, where team FG sweated out a heartbreaker of an overtime loss (the only game to hit sudden death!) to Pac Div. They in turn lost to Jimmy’s team in the finals. Ah well, there’s always the next tourney. We played hard, had fun, and came away with a year’s worth of bragging rights against Diplo. Twitter that!
Check out the recaps from Village Voice, XXL, Dime, Complex, Nah Right and Miss Info’s blog. You can also peep our intern Loren’s exclusive pix from the stands. More links as we get em, Hot 97 video and some select photos after the jump. Read More
Check the whole interview (originally taped during WMC) here. Update: Or better yet, just watch the video!
Click the pic for the enlarged version of our own Catchdini’s one-page feature in the new issue of XXL (Jeezy cover!) where he’s asked to pontificate on the mag’s summer DJ playlist.
This Saturday we’re rocking the rooftop pool of the Standard LA (Downtown) for the latest edition of Swimming With Sharks. Our pals Star Eyes, Drop The Lime and The Captain will be rocking for Trouble and Bass, and Nick Catchdubs will be repping FG on the decks alongside amped-up live performances from Trackademicks and Donnis.
First 100 people are free, so RSVP now!
