in the red

It's my birthday today. Therefore, to celebrate, I'd like to share some songs that I've always bumped the shit out of. I'll try to be more up-to-date in the future.

I appreciate y'all a whole lot. Thanks for your support.

Curtis Vodka- Saturday Morning

Clipse ft Vybz Kartel- Double Down

Youngbloodz ft Big Boi- 85

Royksopp- What Else is There (Thin White Duke remix)

Jaylib ft Frank-N-Dank- McNasty Filth



("The Suburbs" came out a few days ago. Support great music)

Be Easy.

cram it all in

Hey folks, sorry about the severe lack of posting. Finals have bitten us squarely in the ass, but now that summer is officially here, we shall get back to our regular updating schedule. Avenge The Virgins is back in the game.


10 000 Volt Ghost- Pardon?

10 000 Volt Ghost is a relatively unknown producer out of San Francisco. I don't know too much about him, but the minute I heard this song, I was hooked. I was initially scared that this would be another electro banger, but "Pardon?" is actually a very diverse song; double-time handclaps, huge synths, a deep bassline and a great melody all make an appearance. Relatively simple, yet very effective. Bay Area in the house.

EPMD- Da Joint

Late nineties EPMD is still good EPMD. I love these guys, everything from the production to the flow just oozes dope.

Curtis Vodka- Love has come (Meatloaf Edit series)

A simple, soulful edit of Donald Byrd's tune by my favorite Alaskan producer, Curtis Vodka. He's been releasing loads of free edits in this vein recently, as part of the "Meatloaf Edit" series. If I could spread this shit on toast in the morning I would. Buttery smooth and groovy as hell.

High Rankin- Meow Meow

Meow.

The Fugees- Fiesta-La (The Heatwave refix)

Classic tune Fugee-La vs Fiesta Riddim (Akon's "Gunshot" is probably the most well-known tune on this riddim). The Heatwave Soundsystem are the kings of dancehall edits, in my opinion. Oh-la-la-la.

NGUZUNGUZU- WHAT DANCE?

This L.A duo makes some of the weirdest bass-heavy electronic music out there. Fluokids described them as "Blaqstarr meets trance", which is kind of accurate. The most bizarre array of sounds and influences all stirred into a rave-tastic tropical gumbo. Sirens, a repetitive sample that sounds like the voice of Charlie Brown's Teacher, water dropping into a bucket, rainforest bass and more. Holy fuck.

takin' it back

Rainy and dreary as fuck in Montreal. Here's a little picker-upper. Throwback vibes, with summer just around the corner.

Wale- Freaks (Bird Peterson remix)

A fuckin' classic. No doubt about it. If you haven't heard this remix before, you have been missing out on something great. Haunting harps and sing-song swagger make for such a fresh combo. The drum programming is fantastic as fuck as well.

Curtis Vodka- Eastside Westside Can You Bounce

This song is a time machine, which takes you back to the summer of 2007. Baltimore club was still infecting tracks all over the place. Alaskan electronic music maestro Curtis Vodka gave birth to this soothing, soulful monster of a track and gave us a soundtrack to the great nights spent sippin brewski's, blowin el's and watching the stars.

Cam'ron ft Kanye West- Down and Out

Kanye, this is that 1970s heron flow, huh?

Kid Sister- Daydreaming (Telephoned Dreams version)

Telephoned is a relatively new project featuring Fool's Gold Records producer Sammy Bananas and NYC vocalist Maggie Horn. They've released their brand new E.P. this week on Fool's Gold, so you should definitely check it out HERE if you dig the vibes. They turn Daydreaming into a groovy little summer breezer.

BONUS:

You might remember my post about Kris Skovmand, the great undiscovered alt-folk talent (LINK!). In that post, I posted one of his songs on mediafire instead of hosting it on the server, which means a lot of you skipped on downloading it. That's pretty unfortunate, being that it's one of my favorites of his, so I uploaded it for your greedy ears.

Kris Skovmand- Whiskey, Weed & Health

See you on the flipside,
