SPF 5000 - P.O.T.S. by TOP BILLIN A damn good tune it is. Do yourself a favor and preview the forthcoming second ep ( got the previous one ?) from SPF 5000 . This for you ghetto lovebirds. ALL HAIL THE COMPTON CAT, release date 16/9.

Femminielli is the ace solo synthesizer work of the Montreal-based musician Bernardino Femminielli. While the ominous chords, geometric leads, and forlorn march of the "Chauffeur's" beat will be instantly familiar to any fan of the cold / minimal / new / dark / what have you wave(s), the charismatic web spun by the crooner- esque vocals and the overall precise but organic execution of this highly textural, affective piece distinguish it from the efforts of many other musicians who have ventured to or are currently exploring similarly bleak terrains . That's not to imply that the music is in [...]

Last week we had an exclusive mix from LA based Radio FreQ . This week we have Top Billin 's Chauffeur mixing up something special for us all the way from Calgary, Canada!

¿Hola qué tal? Soy colosal. Aquí el "Norton Beat Doctor" ha detectado en el mail de neonized unos cuantos melocotonazos para que nosotros lo (gosemos) nos curemos... Para empezar el tratamiento, un banger sin complicaciones, con su "trallica" rica, y sus cortes con "frasecica" en francés, como los remedios de la abuela (Mr.Oizo) nos enseñaron. Ninetynine - L'Argent (Chauffeur Remix) Por otro lado, más banger acetilsalicilico con ese tufillo épico que tanto (motiva) baja la inflamación. Lo mejor del tema, el sampler de "This is a preview" [...]

Between his Gucci-themed record with Chauffeur and his recent six-page photo spread for Complex Magazine, Theophilus London continues to walk the line between fashion and music. The photo spread, which was shot in November and is being released in time for Fashion Week, adds a splash of color to the artist's signature style. "Everyone wanted me to feel comfortable and let me do my own thing," London says in the accompanying interview, "They kept reminding me—this is about you; be yourself; be you, let you come out in the photos, and I just did that." London [...]

So you may (or may not) have noticed that D.I.D. has been dormant for a week (the longest amount of downtime in its short, albeit illustrious history). We have upgraded from my personal website to a home of our own, and after a very stressful week (relocating hundreds of mp3s takes sooo much time), we are back. Not to bore you with my troubles, I'm ready to dive back in to it, we have so much to catch up on. So before falling in love with Chauffeur I didn't really know too [...]
