Last Friday we headed out to LA for our first experience of the new Friday night in LA called DISCOTHEQUE. In case you haven't had a chance to make it out to this venue it's run by 3 of the best and the party is a rager! We heard that a couple cats from Ed Banger would be in town by way of BUSY P and SEBASTIAN, and we knew we were going ot have to make it out since we had a bad [...]
![[JBI!] TBE Presents: Fever For The Flavor – A Mix for L.A.](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1811395_lg.jpg)
Los Angeles, the city of a million legends and a million disappointed tourists. Its too big to take in by foot and too confusing and traffic-packed to really see by car. It really isn't a city at all, but more of a collection of cities that all happen to touch each other and give the illusion of being unified. However, while the city/ies may be sprawling and disjointed, they share a role as muse for great music. As I have simmered here this past two weeks I have been compiling my list of great L.A. songs. Some tribute, some complaint, [...]
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 [...]
Well, tomorrow night is when we set it all off! So it's only right we pull out the heavy hitters to get people excited. Here's another staple in R$S sets. Don't be surprised to see this one on my year-end list for 'Best Remix of '082. "Chili P WHAT THE FUUUUCCCCKKKK!" Busy P - To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix)
Last year the Chemical Brothers released an excellent album called We Are the Night. It quickly became one of my favorite electronic albums for a few reasons; really great production, varied style and genre within the album, and a hilarious track called the Salmon Dance. For a time, this was a bit of an anthem with my friends and I, as well as a running joke - "Fish.. pay attention to the moon?? WOW!". Check this video out and you'll understand: Fast forward to spring 2008. MSTRKRFT and Z-Trip [...]
GOOD NEWS for The Recommender... I've received confirmation that this blog now has permission to upload and contain any photographic images by three of LA's finest style photographers. Their images are to be found at [...]
Work on "Not Many Experts Mix II" is well underway; I have 16 tracks on a shortlist, but am just working out ideal track positions as well as waiting on a couple more killer tracks... Also, I'm messing around with Ableton Live, the DJ program that Justice, Hot Chip and countless others use. So yeah, it's actually going to be a proper mix this time. I felt the need to mix it properly because I noticed that a lot of the songs on Mix II take a while to get going and, honestly, [...]
Back in February I uploaded a monster post on Crookers , cramming almost all of their released material into a single post. Back then it seemed like a hefty number of tunes, looking back now it pales in comparison to the sheer quantity of material released by Crookers, who've since produced over 60 tracks (both remixes and original material) in under a year. Of course them are unofficial remixes, but all the same - they've been busy. Already I consider the likes of 'Love To Edit' and their remix of [...]
I'm expecting this Friday to be something big. If you're in Vancouver, get ready for Crookers ! They'll be backed by hometown heavy hitters Paul Devro and Expendable Youth . Make sure you get in the door here . Here's the latest Crookers banger. Murs on the raps. Busy P ft Murs - To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix) And, for me, this remix never gets tired... when the heaviness drops about a minute in, people lose their minds and start breaking things. [...]
The new EP from Busy P , entitled Pedrophilia , hits shelves June 23 via (who else?) Ed Banger . What do you think of the graphic? Is So Me out of his mind, or an actual genius stuck in the body of a French hipster icon? (mp3) Busy P featuring Murs - To Protect And Entertain (Crookers remix) (mp3) Uffie - Robot Ouef Godspeed!
