crevasse

Good afternoon, people. Enjoy the tunes.

Many More- Turn up the music (Dooze Jackers remix)

Dooze Jackers are Montreal's kings of Dutch House and crazy electro, and curators of the infamous Kannibalen parties. When it comes to making insane tracks and eviscerating dancefloors, no one does it quite like Dooze Jackers.

Scarface- Keep me Down

A classic, off of Scarface's album The Fix. It's got a large dose of country guitar twang, and some of the realest rhymes you've ever heard.

Jacques Greene- Tell Me (Kingdom Edit)

Kingdom goes in on an already insane Jacques Greene track. Night Slugs are on a roll this year, holy shit. Soulful, powerful and just plain beautiful

Savage Skulls - Caravan by soundpellegrino

Duke Ellington gets the Savage Skulls treatment. Probably going to be one of the bigger tunes this year, as this tune is unbelievable. A top notch flip on this old jazz classic. Of course, the real tune clocks in at about 5 and a half minutes, but this is a decent preview. Tight!



I found out about this amazing Texas artist very recently, and wanted to share his soulful material with you. Townes Zan Vandt was a codeine drinking folk singer, who used to fish for codeine bottles out of a hole in his floor, because he lived over a pharmacy. This is Screw music, way before the Houston scene and purple drank aka lean rose to national prominence. Draped up and dripped out. Real emotional shit.

Townes Van Zandt - Waiting Around to Die

Now I'm out of prison
I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
And together we're gonna wait around and die

merde il pleut

On the menu this afternoon: a delightful eclectic mix of genres, sure to tease and titillate your taste buds.

D.A.M.B- Daylight

D.A.M.B is a producer based in Sacramento who makes beats. He's cool, and this is a tropical banana boat bass anthem. Really awesome flip on this sample, in my opinion.

Scarface- On my block

One of the greatest who ever did it. The H-Town legend's classic ode to his neighborhood, with a great backing piano track that makes me think of Mr Rogers, for some reason.

Wavves- Green Eyes

I love this kind of lo-fi stoner/slacker music. Catchy and fun.

Finntroll- Rivfader

Here I am posting ear-grating metal music again. Finntroll is a Finnish (coughnoshitcough) band that is known for its rather unique and extreme mix of different genres of music, like polka. Yes, you read that right. Polka meets black metal. Boom.

Regina Spektor- Us

If you've been reading this blog for any amount of time, you're familiar with my unabashed love for corny love songs. I watched 500 Days of Summer for the first time in a while yesterday, so that's probably to blame. Still a good song, though.

Acid on the Tongue

Evening, all. You are cordially invited to this banquet of amazing songs. Pick and choose, the dishes are over there.

Bon Appetit.

Lionel Richie & The Commodores- Night Shift

I didn't even know this song existed before I heard Freeway & Memphis Bleek spitting over it a few years ago. Since then, the original sample has become one of my favorite songs, probably because of the flip. Even though the original song has nothing to do with hustling, I associate this great soul classic with the image of a dark street corner in the 1970s. Go figure.

Scarface- The G Code

The song that made me realize that Southern rap is incredible. Weirdly enough, this was probably the most influential song for me when I first started listening to rap. Scarface is one of the top 5 lyricists of all time, and is unbelievably underrated. He has infinitely more street cred than most of the trapper/rappers of today, has been in one of the most influential rap groups of all time (The Geto Boys) and has released tons of classic albums, like The Diary, The Fix, Last of a Dying Breed, and more. This is street hip hop, with more lyricism and content than most of the so-called conscious rappers who constantly diss the South. Not only does dude rap his ass off and spit knowledge, he also moonlights as a producer. (Interesting fact: his cousin is the dude who sang "I can see clearly now", Johnny Nash. There must be something in the water in Houston.)

Steel Pulse ft Damian Marley- No More Weapons

Steel Pulse are legends in their own right (Get familiarrrr), and on this fantastic tune, they team up with personal fave Jr. Gong, the incredible Damian Marley. This is a balm for the soul, proper rock-steady Reggae music. This is the soundtrack to revolution, baby. The bassline is proper, and Damian Marley's verse is mindblowing as hell. Actually, this whole song is bananas. Praise Jah.

Manare- Pirog (Lazy Flow Summer Mix)

Manaré = Riot Kid.
This song = Awesome.
Young Gunz crew = Can't be stopped.

This is a good time to be a fan of electronic music in France.

Beezy- A Day in the Life (L-Vis 1990 remix)

This is a day in the life of a Geezer. Night Slugs fam run tings.
