incendies

Let's get into it, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a lil' while, hasn't it.

I'll try to switch it up this morning. Hopefully there's something for everyone.

Peter Peter ft Coeur de Pirate- Tergiverse
Peter Peter- Homa

Peter Peter is a very recent discovery of mine, a folk/pop artist from Montreal that sings in French. I bought his album after only seeing a few videos of him performing a few songs acoustically, and I must regrettably inform you that the CD's mastering is absolutely piss poor. The songs are still pretty sweet, but it sounds like poo, man. Peter Peter makes really depressing minimal pop music, with a touch of folky whispering included. This might not be your cup o' tea, but I enjoy it a whole lot.

Swedish House Mafia- Save the World (Style of Eye & Carli remix) (REMOVED BY REQUEST)

Yeah, I went there. This has probably been posted on everyone and their mother's blog, but given its undeniable summery anthem feel, I figured I might as well include it. This will probably rule the clubs, beaches and terrasses this summer, for sooth. Warning: May induce fist-pumps galore.

Mata ft Mali Boi, M.P & Big P.O.P.E- Streetz

Block Beataz in this bitch. Besides Yelawolf & G.Side, I guess I haven't really been hearing too much about the Huntsville scene, but I still bump old PRGz & Slow Motion Soundz tunes on the regular. This was one of the more 'street' tunes that they released, a heavy trunk-rattling banger with an absolutely amazing beat. Mali Boi, who produces most of the Paper Route tunes, and raps on a few tunes, is nuts, and Big P.O.P.E still has one of the most unique voices in rap.

Diplo & Douster- ON! (REMOVED BY "REQUEST")

Again, this has been posted quite a bit elsewhere, but it's a really neat collabo between two of the dopest club DJs out there, so I just had to share it. Not really sure what to call this. Grunts, beeps, wild percussion and fart sounds make the club go wild.

Lunice & Young L- Hip Pop (remix)

Merci #basedgod. Waaaaaaaaaay too much (dare I say it...) swag for one tune. Thanks to Southern Hospitality for putting this together, really doe. Montreal x Bay Area. Lucky Me x Legendary Inc. Good x Lord.

I am tired as hell, time to go to sleep.

Diplo X Benzi

This collabo album was released a week ago but I really had to share this one with yall one way or an other. All kind of "Mansions On the Moon" remixes/features done by a bunch of well reputed producers including Deadmau5, Mad Decent, Xaphoon Jones, and more. Diplo & Benzi are the one presenting the album so that gives you a quick idea of the quality you can expect.
I'm a sucker for that kind of sound. It has that weird spacy electro typa vibe. Some tracks are a bit more uptempo then the others but it really all blends perfectly at the end. Cool album to chill after a hard day at work.

Mansions On The Moon - This Life (DJ A Mad Decent Remix)
Mansions On The Moon - Glimpse Into The Future (Xaphoon Jones Remix)
Mansions On The Moon - Last Call (Benzi & Willy Joy Remix)

In case you're interested in downloading the full album CLICK HERE



The video above features a Mansions On The Moon single called "She Makes Me Feel", also on that same album.


To end this one, here's video from a live performance done in Toronto by Black Thought and dj J Period.
This quote really says it all about Black Thought "Black Thought is the ultimate “emcee.” Ask anybody who is a fan of hip hop and chances are they will note that this man embodies what a true emcee is. Usually one to sneak under the radar when the “best of all time” talk comes up, Black Thought is not one to tell you how good he is, make videos about it, and then rap more about it. Instead, he presents his raw skills, his talent, and his words."



This dude is way too sick. big up

Laid Back Sunday #6

And another one...

Beautiful day here in Montreal, sun is out and my girl is SMOKIN' ! Once again delivering some "off the radar" goodies. As you probably get to know my posts ; I don't necessarily share the latest stuff. I post the music that I love but also try to find the music that you've never heard before. That's probably the hiphop "diggin' the crates" phenomenon that's been stuck in my head for years. Always on the look out for that good beat.

Jhi Ali - Alabama (Feat. Cooley Da Dude & Big P.O.P.E
A couple months ago, my dear colleague MDMAwesome introduced you to the PRR/PRG(Paper Route Records/Gangstaz). The song he shared with you guys was off a legendary mixtape that was produced at the time by Diplo and Benzi. All the tracks are pure fire, Ive been bumpin' this shit for quite some time and still not tired of hearing these songs. DOPE

CunninLynguists - Caved In feat. Cee-Lo Green
Here I am once again posting a CunninLynguists track. I could possibly not imagine how someone could hate on this group ; they are way too good. Kno is one of the best hiphop producers there is out there, always been producing the freshest beats for them. Actually, you should definitely check-out his album Death Is Silent. Song here is featuring Cee-Lo and is off "A Piece Of Strange" album. This track will evacuate the stress out of your body in no time. Guaranteed.

Trick Daddy feat. Cee-Lo & Ludacris - Sugar (Justus A + B by Luminfire)
Last off ; my sugaaaaar baby. Remix/Mashup (AAAAAAAHHHH Shit, I've said the M word) done by the guys at Ants in my Trance. No description needed, its the beeezzneezz. Fits the Sunday mood perfectly.

In the mean time, get your groove on people. Shake that ass


See you next time sombreros mustachios

Diplomatic

In my perfect world "diplomacy" would have nothing to do with negotiations about important international affairs. "Diplomats" would have nothing to do with negotiating peace treaties or whatever. In my perfect world, "diplomats" would be followers of the new religion "Diplomacy" and we would all worship Diplo. Enough with the absurd veneration and downright silliness and let's get on with the show.


DJ Kazu - Sushi Chop (Prod. by Diplo)
Who else than Diplo to bring some Japanese Bounce into the average person's music world. Warning: Please be careful, this shit is hot to be, hot to be hot, to be hot, to be hot, to be hot to be, hot to be.

Diplo - Smash a Kangaroo
Anothern of Diplo's weird, with F up lyrics and less heard of songs. Seriously, no idea how someone gets the idea to kill a kangaroo and take a pill. No kangaroos were harmed during the production of this song.

Diplo & Borgore - Sunsets
You think everything is fine, everything is ok... then mindfuck. Your mind is pounded so hard you begin silently praying to yourself. It stops for a second, a single ray of sunlight shines through the grimy window behind you. You let out a sigh, but it's back for more. In the end, this event will slowly drift away. A repressed memory which will resurface in your adulthood. Gotta love dubstep.

Major Lazer Ft. Ninjasonik - Pon de Floor (Diplo Rap Remix)
The first post on the blog was about Ninjasonik, so let's bring him back. I think everyone has heard of Major Lazer in 2009. Diplo & Switch make one incredible team, Diplo on the remix adding, New York based rapper, Ninjasonik's lyrics to the song.




Sia - Clap Your Hands (Diplo Remix)
Since you can't use cowbells in every song, why not try adding a clap? A hard bassline, some wobble, more clap in the vocals and voilà! You got yourself some heat for the street.

Jackie Chain Ft. Jhi Ali - Rollin' (Diplo Remix)
Ode to those multicolored "skittles" on one incredibly fresh beat.

Hollertronix - Golddigger (Diplo Remix)
Diplo does hella B-More beats. What can't this guy do...

Gucci Mane Ft. Lil B - Break Yourself (Diplo Remix)
Off Diplo's Free Gucci Mixtape. The whole thing is tight, I recommend you go grab it if you haven't yet.

Do we promote diversity? Fuck yes man. Ain't it just great for me to be able to do just that with a single artist? Fuck yes.

One last thing, go check out Mad Decent! You'll find plenty of dopeness such as vuvuzela electro.

Vuvuzela Beat by Ghostdad

so fresh

good music to end a good ol' crunk weekend

Verve Records have been releasing their fresh Verve Remixed compilations since 2002. The fourth and most recent one was released in 2008. I really hope a fifth one is on its way cause this shit is too good.

Their formula : Take some classic jazz/soul/funk and get it remixed by some of the best producers/DJs of the game (ex: Felix Da Housecat, Diplo, Adam Freeland, RJD2) and you get this :

Dinah Washington - Cry Me A River (Truth and Soul Remix)
Sarah Vaughan - Fever (Adam Freeland Remix)

And the ones you probably already know :
Marlena Shaw - California Soul (Diplo/Mad Decent Remix)
Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Felix Da Housecat's Heavenly House Mix)

Make sure to support the Verve Remixed collection, definitely worth your money.


We Have Band - Divisive

We Have Band's song "Divisive" has been remixed by so many people but hey, this remix here didn't get that much exposure since its a mellow ambient beat. Good track to chill, much more slower then the original featured in the video above, bassline at 4:20.
We Have Band - Divisive (Gohan Mix)

I couldn't let a post go without some good hip hop. The songs here could be called underground since its not everyone's cup of tea but for you hip hop fiends out there I'm pretty sure you'll jump on this shit quickly.
Snowgoons - Iceman (Feat. Cymershall Law)
Black Opz - Battle Cry

This one is with the same sampled instrumental as the Black Opz track but slower vibe (the ending is a bit fucked, but after hours of looking for a better version... fuck it, this shit is not even on itunes)
The Last Emperor - Heaven

And a track combining both Snoowgoons and The Last Emperor
Snowgoons - Man Of The Year (Feat. The Last Emperor)

Instrumental hip hop for sunny sundays :
DJ Shadow & Kid Koala - Third World Lover
Emancipator - First Snow
