UK producer Mickey Moonlight delivers a gorgeous rework for São Paulo duo Madrid's latest single, "Sad Song". This rework keeps all the feeling and sensibility of the original melancholic track. Madrid, the new project of Adriano Cintra (CSS) and Marina Vello (ex-Bonde de Role), are set to release their debut album on September 16th. Also, you can watch the video for "Sad Song", directed by Dácio Pinheiro, here .
Brazilian based Bonde Do Rolê have plans of dropping their new album Tropicalbacanal at the end of the month. To prep the fans, they have set the mood with the Kool A.D. assisted "Bang". This track isn't quite like anything we have heard before, which makes it quite the appropriate rhythm for the Das Racist member to rock out to. Bonde's entire forthcoming album will see production from Diplo and Poolside, one of the many perks of being a Mad Decent artist. Tropicalbacanal is due out July 31.

After arriving back in Cambridge for another delightful year of cluttered class schedules, early morning practice and two a days, and 17 feet of snow come October, I was thrilled to discover that there is a plethora of EDM goodness coming to Boston. It looks like the Boston hipsters have wised up and embraced EDM over indie as the new thing to hate. I hate hipsters. Embrace will be presenting the first of many events at the Middle East club by bringing in Bot and Phra to crook up some delectable vitamins with their flangers and ringmodulators. The Italian duo [...]

CROOKERS Crookers is made up of two dj's, Bot and Phra, who hail all the way from Milan Italy. Drawing from influences of house, hip hop and beyond, Crookers blend their beats with the kind of fidget house finesse that gives them a unique swagger. “Both of us started getting more involved in music when we used to listen to hip hop,” Phra says. When the two artists met, both were trying to branch out of their genre success and explore [...]
Mary Velo mailed us today with two rockin' remixes and a tight-knit-big-crushing-hit mixtape for the masses. 2 remixes of Jane Bang and the mix features bangers from Crookers, Dusty Kid, Chewie... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Hip Hop and electro go way back. The original genre of electro funk spawned from the pumping beats of all things ghettho - be it hip hop, detroit techno, ghettotech or breakbeat. The sythesis of the looped backing beats of early hip hop and the catchy melodies of Kraftwerk's synth work saw the genesis of electro . Now, however, 'electro' is used as a somewhat vaguer label and regarded as synonymous with a handful of electronic sub genres - whether it's disco, crunchy distortion, a more energetic form of house, crunk, electropop, certain progressions of [...]

Here is the third installment of my "sweet artists that you've never heard of from various parts around the world" series. "... Well what I wanted to tell you is that my IPod got lost or stolen and someone has put the Adventure Kid version of I’m From Barcelona’s “Music Killed Me” onto the internets." - Adventure Kid If someone stole my iPod I think I would die. I'm glad this tune got leaked though, it's 8-bit fresh. "Music Killed Me" is [...]
My money is on Crookers in this battle. Not only is tomorrow SmartBar's One Year Anniversary Party, but its the Crookers FIRST TIME EVER in the USA! How epic is tomorrow night going to be? EXTREMELY epic. I missed the Hood Internet's shindig tonight due to some unforseen circumstances, so hopefully tomorrow can make up [...]

Crookers consists of DJ PHRA and Bot, two gifted gentlemen from Italy who deliver bassy ass remixes of artists like Cazals, Bonde do Role, Dusty Kid, Armand Van Helden, and Chemical Brothers. They add a grungy electro bassline to just about everything they touch, which is one of the reasons I'm feeling their stuff. Crookers [...]

Crookers have blown up in a big way over the last year. All sorts of DJ's are encorporating their tunes into tracklists. Crookers are an Italian duo - Phra and Bot - who fashion themselves as pirates, weilding beistie basslines. Their music is of the wobbly-playful-bass-type we're hearing from the Dubsided lot. They claim to be heavily influnced by Hip Hop, hence the crunky bass, and hold certain similarities to baltimore and bail funk music. There's a bit of choppy glitch-house cut into the warbling bass too. Their [...]
