Butterface Riddim

The girl is like super cute for real, but I'm hoping the paper bag will convey my intentions.

Well in the past week I chilled quite a bit with my music guru. He is none other than Mr. MDMA. During a little chilling night with him and a few friends, a clip from Chromeo eventually surfaced. I was awestruck to hear them hanging out and playing with 80's pop/rock stars Hall & Oates.



One thing lead to another and we were watching the clip for the 2nd single off their upcoming album "Business Casual". This clip is something else, be sure to check it out!

Chromeo - Don't Turn The Lights On










A few days later, I was checking out Art Nouveau's August Chart and noticed Aeroplane had remixed this song. The Belgium producer slows down the vocals and adds an incredibly sexy disco vibe to it, brilliant!

To finish this up, I simply got to mention the imminent release Clockwork's "Elevated EP". Judging from the last post I did on L-A's own Henry Steinway, you should know I really dig this guy's input. I was even more stoked to see John Roman doing a remix of Airflow. Another chill dude I'm trying to support as best as a music blog can do.

Valerna's remix just went up for free download, enjoy and props to Gotta Dance Dirty and Chemical Jump!

I'll update this post with the purchase link for the EP when it becomes available.

Hope this starts your week off on a positive note.

You missed a spot


Deux vieilles tounes, une assez récente. Just one of those mornings.

Tyte Wurk- Mary Jane

For the most part, songs about weed are entertaining as hell. This fairly old one, from Alabama rappers Tyte Wurk, is no exception. Mix in an awesomely soulful beat that crawls at a snail's pace, and hilarious punchlines, and you've got a recipe for a great song. Curtis Vodka also flipped this song into a laid-back baltimore club tune a few years ago, if you're interested. Ooooooooh, pass the shit

Sad Mafioso- The Lamb

Sad Mafioso is a Montreal techno/electro-tech producer signed to Vitalic's label Citizen Records. His tunes have gotten support from John Dahlback. He's been putting in work for quite some time, producing a large amount of deep, atmospheric tunes, but is rather unknown in a lot of circles. Either way, I rather enjoy this tune, and hope you do too.

Chromeo- Don't Turn the Lights On

Montreal's kings of funk do it again. P-Thugg and Dave1 must have made a deal with the devil on some Robert Johnson shit, because every single thing they touch turns to gold. Their sound is such a perfect jumble of soul, blues, funk, disco and what-have-you, and their popularity is continuing to grow by the second. This is one of their newer songs, that I'd only heard very recently (late pass!), and I must say, they haven't lost their touch. (I think my friends tried to buy weed off of them a few years ago. That didn't go so well.)

I've also included their new video for Don't Turn the Lights On, which I'm rather fond of. These dudes are the maestros of suave, and this hilarious video is a great complement to the song. Again, this is baby makin' music at its finest. (Although those floating eyes are kind of a buzzkill, I'll admit.)



Pax.
