Movin’ & Shakin’ It Treasure Fingers

One of the catchiest songs you’ll hear this summer is “Cross the Dancefloor“, a really fresh track with a bit of funk and elements of filter house. It’s so infectious and feel good, that the dance floor is immediately filled whenever the song is played. The producer behind the track is Treasure Fingers, a former Atlantan that recently moved to Brooklyn.

While some may know Treasure Fingers through hard step/drum & bass act, Evol Intent, most people are completely unaware of his history. And even though there is a huge trend of drum & bass producers turned electro blog house producers, Treasure Fingers is completely different. Offering music that is more fresh and feel good and roller rink ready then pump your fist, stage dive, and wear neon.

“Cross the Dancefloor” and other productions were so ear-catching that Fools Gold scooped up Treasure Fingers for a 12″. Updating and remastering the track to be even better than before and getting superstar producers Laidback Luke, Lifelike, and Curses! to lend remixes to the release. Then they packaged it up and made it beautiful and ready to purchase through beatport, turntable lab, and itunes.

To celebrate the release, I met up with Treasure Fingers and we did an interview and he also provided us with one of the remixes of the 12″ single.

sirhan: so, you are in evol intent, why did you decide to start treasure fingers?

treasure fingers: i had always done some house/funk style production stuff on the side and just never pushed it. i played some of it for jordan (of Snowden) one day and he really pushed me to get it out there. The first treasure fingers remix I did was for Snowden’s “Anti Anti”.

sirhan: how do you feel about the way its going now?

treasure fingers: I love it, it just took off and everything started falling into place.

sirhan: you still tour with evol intent?

treasure fingers: yeah, it’s a little sparse with bookings right now because we are all working on other projects at the moment but we’ll have a couple new releases out later this year though and we just released a full length album in march.

sirhan: so you just released, “cross the dance floor” tell me a little bit about it and how did you get such awesome remixes?

treasure fingers: That track actually started out as just a funky instrumental house type tune, then one night I decided to put some vocals on it, then got the idea to have my girlfriend sing a part to play off mine. I meant to write out full verses and put into a pop song structure, but after I showed the rough draft version to Preston/Kiss Atlanta, he wanted to blog it as is, so I mixed it down and let it go as more of a club track. Fool’s Gold sorted out all of the remixes. Once I signed it to them, they hit me up one day and was like.. ‘hey what do you think about these guys to do remixes?’
I’m a fan of all those guys so I was pretty excited. Chromeo also did an amazing remix. It’s going to be featured on a Fool’s Gold CD.

sirhan: so whats the next thing you’re doing?

treasure fingers: I’ve done a bunch of remixes over the past couple months that should all be getting released soon. I’ve got 2 more that I’m wrapping up over the next week, then I’ve got an australian tour. When I get back from that, I plan on working on some original material again.

sirhan: so this is a typical question but who are some of your influences and who should kids go diggin for?

treasure fingers: lots of the 80s funk/disco era stuff. midnight star, shalamar, zapp & roger, dazz, carl carlton. I was really influenced by the 90s french house stuff as well.

sirhan: any particular records by those producers?

treasure fingers: carl carlton - swing that sexy thing / dance with you, most people just know ’she’s a bad mama jama’ by him, but he’s got so much dope stuff!

sirhan: what about new stuff?

treasure fingers: love a lot of the new lifelike stuff, symbolone, that really synthy euro sound, and miami horror also.

sirhan: so you’ve been to tons of places whats you best place so far?

treasure fingers: i think the best / craziest parties ive played have been in ATL or LA. I love traveling though, every city has it’s own charm. I think sometimes, the small towns that you don’t expect much from turn out to be amazing.

sirhan: so, any good stories from your travels?

treasure fingers: i’ve never had anything super crazy. there’s always something going wrong though. last time I was in LA, my door lock had broke after I had left for the gig and no one could fix it and I had an early flight the next morning. they ended up giving me another room, then breaking the door down at the last minute the next morning so I could get my stuff out… I’m not a heavy drinker so I don’t have any crazy club stories.

sirhan: music obiviously takes a lot of time whats your other passions?

treasure fingers: I used to paint/draw a lot. I’d like to get back to that when I get the time. that’s probably the closest thing to a passion, other stuff I do in free time is just for relaxation/fun. xbox360, movies, friends, whatever.

sirhan: so lets close off here any advice to budding producers or closing words?

treasure fingers: It’s kind of contradicting, but find a really good producer and copy them until you can get your engineering and mixdowns really tight, then switch it up and try to do something completely original and different. Most producers lack in one or the other, so I think the key is having something that sounds really fresh and original, that also sounds great sonically.
Closing words: go buy “Cross the Dancefloor” & bug your local promoter until they book me.

FOOLS GOLD SUMMER

Record Label, Fools Gold is about to make this summer even hotter with a slew of new releases scheduled to come out in the next few months.

If you have been living in a cave or maybe some how stuck in time back in Soviet Russia, Fools Gold is the new indie record label started by Nick Catchdubs (who was just featured here on Trash) and A-trak. The label, so far is famous for bringing the world rapper Kid Sister and rapper Kid Cudi, who surprisingly are not related but both amazing. They have also introduced Canadian powerhouse producer/dj duo, Jokers of the Scene and Sammy Bananas a member of East Coast phenoms, Certified Bananas.

This is the kind of thing Fools Gold is about; introducing and breaking new talent to the scene and keeping things fresh. Not to mention the artwork is astounding because creating it is super designer, Dust La Rock.

They have recently released a Kid Sister remix ep with mixes by Simian Mobile Disco and JFK from MSTRKRFT. Head over to RCRDLBL to hear a preview.

Next up is the KAVINSKY picture disc vinyl “BLAZER”.

kavinsky

And it keeps getting better and better.

Atlanta’s Treasure Fingers is releasing his hit single “Cross the Dance Floor” with huge remixes by Laidback Luke, Curses! and lifelike.

Then Canada invades the scene with “Acid Bagg” ep by Jokers of the Scene. Almost everyone has been waiting to get there hands on a copy of “baggy bottom boys” and this will be the chance. Brodiniski and Destroy Disco will also be appearing on the ep remixing “acidrod”.

And speaking of Jokers of the Scene, they have just teamed up with NYC clothing company MISHKA for their new mix tape series “Keep Watch” – listen to the mix tape here – MISHKA explains, “Mix tapes have always been an integral part of NYC’s underground culture and burgeoning music scene, and as such, Mishka is proud to carry on the tradition with the launch of Keep Watch. Featuring top DJs hailing from every genre and geographic corner, Mishka’s Keep Watch party-mixes celebrates one of the most widely practiced American art forms. Released on a semi regular basis (usually to accompanying party), the mixes will be available for free download through our site, the Bloglin and very shortly podcast on Itunes.” The mix features a track from the “Acid Bagg” ep and one from labelmates, Nacho Lovers, ep.

other scheduled releases are:

FGR011 - Four Color Zack & Pretty Titty Sing Sing Breaks
FGR012 - Sammy Bananas Braids & Fades
FGR013 - Jokers Of The Scene Acid Bagg EP
FGR014 - Nacho Lovers Go On / Acid Life

So keep a look out and be aware!

Also if you’re in the Chicago area on August 23, 2008, co-owner of Fools Gold, A-trak will be performing at Subterranean. It’s a 17+ show, so buy your tickets here. And grab those two tracks of his off his blog here.

Trouble & Bass Releases!

MATHHEADS NEW RELEASE!!!!

TM’s favorite bass boys, Trouble & Bass, have been quite busy lately and have a massive string of various releases and compilations forthcoming. To mark their latest release of Math Head’s “Turn The Music Up” EP with Palms Out, hitting online stores and limited vinyl, they provided us with a sample from the EP in the form of the heaviest, bassiest tune from the T&B camp yet. It makes Proxy’s Dance In Dark sound like a nursery rhyme.

And since they are so generous they’ve also given us yet another remix of Drop The Lime’s biggest hit to date “What I Need” this time from Top Billin’s Sharkslayer from Finland. He remains in the same heavy bass vein but with a taste of garage and a think break. DTL’s four track digi-EP “Like Thunder”, containing “Good Inside”, “I Love New York” and “I Want 2 Know”, will do wonders to your brain. Be sure to check Drop The Lime’s Fabric mix on Trash, here.

3 Is A Crowd

3isacrowd

The Bloody Beetroots and Crookers aren’t the only stars to come out of Italy these days. Milan’s 3 IS A CROWD are quickly creating a buzz with their production, as well as edits and remixes for the likes of Crookers, Congorock, Fagget Fairys, Yelle, Armand Van Helden, Amari and others. Things are lookin’ mighty good for them as they’re currently collaborating with Larry Tee, Bryan Cox, Chew Fu Phat and have several releases due to come out on a few labels!

Consisting of three members, Alberto, Francesco and Ivo, 3IAC are influenced by just about everything that is good in music today – house, fidget, crunk, electro, funk, breaks, broken beat and jazz. If you spend your time watching the music that is covered on the blogosphere, more than likely you’ve heard past 3IAC remixes for Congorock, “Exodus (3IAC Back to Home Remix)”, as well as the Fagget Fairys, “Uzela (3IAC Crunch My Crunk Remix)”. Both caught my attention and are fine examples of the kind of work these guys are making. Their latest, “Take It Back”, proves it!

So what is in the pipeline for 3IAC? Francesco clued me in on the latest happenings, along with how this Italian trio came to be and two of their latest remixes.

News about us: We are finally about to sign a contract with RuNT Records for a release; the name of the EP will be “Amarillo EP” and will feature 3 tracks. We have received a proposal for a couple of releases on A New Hope Records; We still have to release our EP for Italian Indie label Mozzarella Records (this release will feature our tracks “Bullshit”, “Guns”, “Almighty Vibes” and a remix) and of course we are waiting for our remix for Bryan Cox’s “Where You At?” to come out on his Crux Records label. We are collaborating with his blog Crux Da House as well and we are working on several tracks including a remix for Larry Tee!

About gigs: We’ll be playing alongside Congorock in Rome the 23rd of May, with the Crookers the 1st of June and in Berlin the 6th of June and we have a gig in London in July that still has to be confirmed.

Start of 3IAC: “In 2004 we started the project 3 Is A Crowd as a dj collective where we could express ourselves and our different musical tastes both in djing and producing electronic music. We used to play different styles on the decks including techno, electro, hip hop, breakbeat and some drum ‘n’ bass too!

Things began to change after a Crookers Edit we made in 2007 that made us become a little bit popular in the blog world. So at that time we were interested in this new sound clash between house, hip hop and techno and that’s why we started working hard on our own tracks as well as remixes and edits: we started to rework different acts and artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Fagget Fairys, Congorock, Yelle, Amari etc.

We believe that every remix we have done so far has its own personality and a “3IAC” flavour: We are trying to make our production recognizable but at the same time we are putting different ideas around to make people enjoy what we do. The Tamborzuda remix we made starting from the original acapella, received compliments from Daniel Haaksman from Man Recordings. Other supporters of our music have been Drop The Lime/Curses!, Dj Fame, Dj Orgasmic, Dj Donna Summer, Scuola Furano, Blatta & Inesha, Bryan Cox, Larry Tee, amongst others.

“Now we are trying to get inspired from other styles: One of our two new remixes for the Italian indie rock band, “Perturbazione“, (”Nel Mio Scrigno Pianissimo Remix”) is showing our interest for a clash between electronic music and real played instruments that we would like to develop in the future, alongside our dance production. Anyway, we hope that we will make people dance and bounce around the globe! Make sure to check our MySpace for more news and don’t forget to take a listen to our special mixes!”

Drop The Lime @ SXSW - Mad Decent & I Heartcomix Party

Set the standard, then raise the bar.
Or in New York City’s Luca Venezia’s case – totally destroy that bar on a global scale. The 25-year-old known as Drop The Lime (and Curses!) is the iconoclastic club fiend of the 21st Century. Producer, remixer and DJ, he started out at 17 and has since dropped approx 150 underground classics, each year breaking boundaries of the musical zeitgeist – relentlessly developing concepts and sounds that leaves his many imitators wiping away tears with a white flag. Lauded by critics - XLR8R, Dazed & Confused, premier blogs - Discobelle, Trash Menagerie, Fluo Kids peers (UK production God Switch named Luca in his top artists of 2007) and the world’s cutting edge record labels - releases on Mad Decent, Counterfeet, Shockout, Ambush, Institubesm Fools Gold, Interscope, and Mute, he is the undisputed, celebrated NYC Bass Heavy Champion.

Drop The Lime’s acclaimed solo albums - 2005’s “This Means Forever” and 2007’s “We Never Sleep” on Tigerbeat6 saw him murdering bass and bytes - an evolved style, re-appropriating breakcore, bassline house, rave, jungle and dubstep, unforgettably touched with Luca’s own original vocals. Recent remixes for Moby, Robyn, Blaqstarr, Health Disco, Midnight Juggernauts and Infants have fueled the blaze. HEAT. Lest we forget Trouble & Bass. The movement-defining party, DJ crew and record label established by Luca in September 2006. In two years T&B has smashed the NYC club scene apart with such deafening impact, the rest of the world found the blasphemous bass impossible to ignore. From Brooklyn warehouses to Manhattan clubs, touring his party through London and Paris - with a summer spot at this year’s Coachella. It’s time to get hysterical”.

The Lady Foursquare’s Boots

LADY FOURSQUARE!!!

The Lady Foursquare, a recent Chicago transplant originally from the Bluegrass State, has been doin’ thangs like a mad woman in the past couple of months. Her style merges loopy techno with electro, glitch and sometimes breakstep to create something that is incredibly unique and weird while remaining playable.

She’s given us a pair of bootlegs, the first of which is a little breakstep retake on some classic Public Enemy complete with a glitched out version of the original tune lodged in the middle. Interesting side story about this remix. When I first met her, we were in her studio and she played the tune for me and I was like, “This sounds like something that Trouble & Bass would do.” and She goes “Who’s Trouble & Bass?” So I played DTL’s remix of Curses! - This is The Way and she was shocked to hear that people were making stuff like that. So in essence she came upon breakstep completely on her own which I think is totally awesome.

The second tune for download is her incredibly interesting take on Art Of Noise’s Beatbox using the classic break and the not so known ending piano jam to create a huge breakdown builder. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the big boys started using this one at the peaks of their set because this one builds it up big time. And I can’t forget the classic Loletta Holloway vocal rant over it that really gets folks going. Be sure to check out her upcoming release on Angel Alanis’s ASquared Muzik called Xcite Bike and an upcoming collaboration between she and I, as well.

XLR8R Magazine is proud to announce the launch of the newly redesigned xlr8r.com. The robust design and architecture of this new portal is a huge step forward for XLR8R. Not only does the new site feature exclusive material not found within the pages of XLR8R, but xlr8r.com is breaking ground throughout the world wide web with unique content in the form of weekly XLR8R TV episodes, audio podcasts, and up-to-the-minute news, MP3, and music video updates.
