Our boy Gil-D-Beat has unveiled his newest set of skillz: dope ass remixes. He's throwing it back this time with Jamiroquai.
You can't believe how many good pictures there are of Jamiroquai on the intertubes, but I had to choose one from the infamous "Virtual Insanity" video. However, Gil's remix is of "Cosmic Girl." I'm really digging on the keyboard interlude. You should too.
Hot Brooklyn-based DJ Sammy Bananas is gracing the DC Metro area with his presence this Friday at DC9. I expected big things when I heard resident wonder boy Gavin Holland would be introducing him, but some things are bigger than others. And I'm not talking about his bananas. I'm talking about his beats. My current favorite:
You know I can't say no to the ladies. Or a really smooth production of old school jams meeting modern electronics.
I also always thought this approach should be taken to Jay-Z's "Girls Girls Girls" and Snoop Dogg and Pharell's "Beautiful". Just imagine it "girls, girls, girls, girls, girls I do adore/Beautifuuuuuul/girls, girls, girls, girls I do adore." OK, that's my piece.
Montreal DJ CFCF is circling his mixtape, "Slow R&B for Zellers Locations Canada-Wide" around the tubes. It is exactly the schmaltzy gems you'd hear if you were stuck in some mostly-deserted, shabby department store searching for something lame like sensible shoes for work, except punched up a notch.
From Exclaim.ca -- As the press release states, “The nearly 40 minute mix ... features department store-ready jams, sufficiently chopped and screwed. Synth stabs are funkier, snare drums are splashier, saxes are sexier and crooners are sultrier. The end product could very well be the lovechild of Freddie Jackson and the Knife.”
Zellers is a Canadian Department Store. In case you didn't "get it"
I love mood-mixtapes. I don't care what kind of mood you're going for, the weirder the better. It often gives a sense of purpose to music that might otherwise be ignored or discarded in the bargain bin at FYE.
She's today's honorable Hot Slut on Dlisted, but Ruth Flowers (aka Mamy Rock), 69, is more than that: she's also a fucking good DJ. She's a big name on the French DJ circuit, where many of her fans are less than half her age. Visit her MySpace for some fresh mixes.
“If they love it, I should keep on playing, and I hope they keep on dancing.”
