Its been a busy few weeks.
We’ve got tunes piling up, that we are itching to post!
Posts take time, time is something that we need more of.
Waiting for that clone thing to happen.
Gonna try and get some neat stuff up here in the next few days.
The Rapture are are currently on the other side of the world, just finished AU, and are currently in Japan. They are dropping their next single ‘Pieces Of The People We Love” on April 24th. An extensive US Tour will follow.
I saw the video, its pretty dope.
Here are some photo clips if you didn’t catch it yet. Yeah, the quality of pics pretty much suck. I would like to post the vid itself, by I fear that might be followed with a bit of drama, but i’m gonna work on that, So for now, I’ll leave you with a few “Pieces” ; )
And Speaking of Matt B Safer, I dug up an old DJ mix of his from 2005.
You can d/l via the page (in progress) - “THE MUSICAL ADVENTURES OF AUDIO PIMPSTRESS” (top right) The boys will be spinning out quite a bit over the summer, they are gonna throw down at Coachella following their live set.
So, that’s all I can manage to project out into the blogosphere for now. If someone finds some extra time and wants to share, i’m a taker!
But really, some new music might appear in the next day or so - Mattie’s mix can hold you over until then.
For a while now, I have been hearing about the boys from Cobra Kai in Richmond, Virginia, but I never actually got around to checking them out. And Hoo-boy am I glad I did. Nick The Duke sent me this mix made by his better half, Krames that is truly out of this world, mashup madness. It’s eclectic with out being annoying and it is imminently danceable all the way through. The mixes are more than quick enough to hold my attention (which is saying a lot as I tend to lose interest at around the 3 minute mark most of the time) and the track selection could have been stolen directly from my playlists. I was so excited about this mix that I contacted the boys, did a little interview and weaseled a pair of exclusive tracks for your downloading pleasure. I am getting excited again just writing this.
For my Midwest readers, you’ll be able to catch these guys here in Chicago this Thursday at Funky Buddha for Dance Party Magic with one of my favorite DJs, Lee Foss, as well as E6 and Matt Roan and then on Friday at Ohm. Then up to Milwaukee for ‘Spaced Out,’ with The Glamour at MOCT on Saturday (where I was last Saturday, good times).

And now the tracks. I’m not too huge of a mashup fan but Krames figured out how to push all my buttons at the same time and mash tracks together so coherently that it can barely be called mashup. This first one takes the drums from one of the greatest tunes by Thomas Bangalter ever and puts a great light vocal and funk guitar over the top to create a smooth roller that’ll keep your floor moving along.
The second is a pretty straightforward krunk mash with a bassline that borders on the brown note and will surely send all the listeners into a collective screwface. I played it for a friend of mine who’s way into dubstep and he immediately wet his pants and started to cry.
If you want to know more about Cobra Kai and their parties here’s a little interview:
Local Hero: Why Cobra kai? Those guys were jerks
Cobra Kai: It’s not that we are jerks; more that Cobra Kai was no bullshit. They knew what they were doing and they did it well. Instead of going with the classic good guy approach we chose to represent ourselves as a dominant force.
LH: What’s the scene like at your parties?
CK: Overall when we hold it down, it’s time to get sexy in the moshpit. There’s always dancing, that’s not an issue. We’re from the South where there’s a heavy (more…)
