Halloween Costume Final

Those of you who know me personally, could probably guess my halloween costume in 3 tries. And tho greenman (from Its Always Sunny...) might not have been one of your guesses, it was mosdef considered. I'm just not down on spending $70 for an online costume that'll prolly fit like shit.

shaun

So instead I decided to perfect my Shaun of the Dead costume. And bitches it is effin' studio quality. While I wont be heading to LA for the epicness that is Justice, Soulwax, SMD, Crystal Castles, etc... I will be heading back down to Purdue for an extended weekend of ass-kickery. Electro can take a break for one weekend.

Chitown vs Worst Time Zone Ever

Dodgers Cubs Baseball

The Cubs are tanking, and getting absolutely murdered by the Dodgers. That been putting a lot of stress on not only me, but the whole effin' city. Fans are up in arms, the players failed to show up, the curse might actually excist... I mean total anarchy!!

So what do we do? Go win 2 in LA and then come back to win game 5? It's happened before, but its not likely. I think the best way to resolve this is for everyone to just caaaaaaaaalm down. The city, fans, and media have put waay too much pressure on the Cubs, and it's not gonna work by forcing these last 100 years on the team. Just let it go, embrace the game, and let the chips fall where they may.

Dodgers Cubs Baseball

So here are a group of tracks from collected Chicago and LA based artists/DJs/producers. If these tracks do nothing more than distract you from the embarassing team that has taken the field the last two nights, then cherish it. Anything is better than the last two ball games.

Mp3: A-Trak - Say Whoa (Big Na$ty Remix) (mp3) [LA based Big Na$ty continues improving on his mastery of house breaks, shells out another legit dancefloor banger, remember he already gave 2Pac some posthumous love]

Alternative content


Mp3: The Chemical Brothers - Believe (Mr Mike Weez FeeFiFoFum Remix) (mp3) [Chicago takes a swing back with Mr Mike Weez and his own dancefloor rendition off The Chemical Bros 2005 wax]

Alternative content


Mp3: Rockland - You Can't Stop Californi-Yee (mp3) [A new bloke fron San Fernando is influenced a bit more by the 90's rave sounds, but still able to spin in heavy contemporary house glitches]

Alternative content


Mp3: JDP - Release (mp3) [if you missed the Starters DJs remix of JDP's "Styrofoam Cups"... then you suck, so here's his newest release (no pun intended). Again, I know dick when it comes to hip hop, but if it sounds good, it sounds good. And this ish sounds good]

Mp3: Stereoheroes - Midnight Sons (feat. Teen Wolf) (mp3) [Vegas based Teen Wolf was kind enough to send his mix of Love Lockdown (which you'll still be able to find on the blogs) but I personally just cannot stand the original, so I politely declined. But I'm more than glad to post a collab he did with Stereoheroes]

Alternative content


Mp3: Matt & Kim - It's A Fact (Mano Remix feat Hollywood Holt) (mp3) [ummm... really dont need to say much about this as it's been out a while. BTW, did anyone see the show on Monday? I missed it and am kinda pissed]

Alternative content


Mp3: NightWaves - Even Money (mp3) [i think this song might've been rejected as the romatic interlude piece in Beverly Hills Cop III. Looking forward to Nightwaves refining their Future Disco sounds into something of the likes of Moulinex and Futurecop!]

Alternative content


Mp3: The Hood Internet - Tambourine Reckoning (mp3) [might as well ensure a victory for Chicago in this little cross-country battle by throwing in mash-up masters STV SLV and ABX from The Hood Internet. With a catalogue of well over 200 mash-ups its hard to pick just one track, so I'll play the lazy card and go with something straight from the player]

Exit Inbox Stage Right

My inbox has been clogged recently with a lot of new ish... and who am I to deny these new artists the chance to be seen and heard? Well technically, I AM that guy, since I run this site... but I appreciate hard work when I see and hear it, and these all have it. So give them a listen and visit their respective spaces for more. Also, if you buy something of theirs, they'll likely be able to make more ace tunes and you'll be able to say "I liked them before they were big" (we all know how we love to be able to say that).

First up is the latest arrival in the ole' gmail account... Housse de Racket, a pair of Paris kids who grew up listening to Daft Punk and Serge Gainsbourg, have finished their first album Forty Love (guessing a tennis reference). It's being released on Kuskus Records on October 13, and here is their first single "Oh Yeah!" as well as a pair of remixes. All three are pretty catchy, but the original reminds me of a happy french mix Arctic Monkeys and Air.

Mp3: Housse de Racket - Oh Yeah!
Mp3: Housse de Racket - Oh Yeah! (Tepr Remix)
Mp3: Housse de Racket - Oh Yeah! (25 Hours a Day Remix)

Also from Kuskus Records, and have been smoldering in my inbox for a good part of the summer, are You! and Vivek Shraya. These crews have been headlining French parties, and I can only imagine what those might entail. I guess you can throw these in the bin labeled electropop or newish happy rave. Not floor bangers, but good in their own right. Here are two tracks from the group they sent over.

Mp3: You! - Ouohoho (Bublebeez Remix)
Mp3: Vivek Shraya - If We're Not Talking



Next up is a local Chitown underground hip hop artist JDP. He recently finished working with a crew you all should know by now, Starters DJ's, on a remix of his lead single "Styrofoam Cups". Let it speak for itself... and listen.

Mp3: JDP - Trip In My Cup (Starters Remix) /bitchen highly recommended

Shinichi Osawa is a name you all should be familiar with, and The Chemical Brothers' "Star Guitar" should already have well over 100x plays on your last.fm account (ok fine, you can combine both the original and Shinichi's cover if you have to). Alavi reroX'd the ish of this. Well... kinda. It just takes a while to get back to the familiar tune we're all familiar with.

Mp3: Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Alavi ReroX)



New release from Venga Digital comes Spangled Ballet. Kinda caught me off guard cos it was the label that sent me the clips (and normally I dont listen to clips), so they sat in the inbox for a few weeks. And now I wish I had the full 320 kbs versions cos these are fidgety housey goodness. Also a Stupid Fresh remix as well. I warned you they're short, so get the full set over at Beatport. Dont be cheap.

Mp3: Spangled Ballet - Destruction Friday (128 kbs clip)
