Berlin hardcore dissenters Atari Teenage Riot were among a new generation of German techno artists (also including ATR's Alec Empire, EC80R, Speed Freak, DJ Bleed, etc.) who sought to reconnect music with political radicalism through ever more challenging, experimental hybrids, engaging everything from speed metal and acid to jungle and hardcore punk. This is the [...]

This is Part 5 of The Tale of The Tape's Year End Best of Series : Covers I almost didn't bother making an entire list, as this Kills cover slays the competition. Somehow almost completely swept under the rug, Alison Mosshart & Jamie Hince's take on the Velvet Underground classic captures everything you could ask for in a cover song. Familiar and faithful without becoming a replica, "Pale Blue Eyes" borrows the best parts from the original (Reed's eternal melody, Morrison's delicate guitar) while Hince's dirty distortion and Mosshart's faraway delivery help make this [...]

Recently i've been randomly listening to and enjoying a lot of cover versions from my music collection and realised that i haven't really done a post about covers in quite a while. So to make up for it i'm gonna do two. Straight to the point then.... ORIGINAL: Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down The first song is a Tom Petty cover courtesy [...]

Crocodiles - Groove is in the Heart [Dee-lite] | zs

It has been more than a decade since Ray Mang , the alter ego of engineer, writer and producer Raj Gupta, has released new music. This time around he has teamed up with DFA records to make this nu disco-centric track called "Bulletproof" that packs tons of energy and fun with some help from some of the greats of the past. First off, if the song sounds familiar, it's only because it is a re-tooling of " Bulletproof " by George Clinton. Ray Mang decided to speed it up a bit while keeping its funk roots. He [...]
we gave you the mp3 a while ago now we have some motion pictures video by Thriftshop XL music spliced by Dunproofin'

No no, one of us Schitzers is not about to take the plunge (gulp), rather, I had the fortune of attending a ceremony of life unity over the weekend and it got me to thinking. Not about tying the proverbial knot, but about music of course. Wedding DJ's are not known for dropping current jams or blowing the crowd away with their technical ability and it is safe to say that the usual tracks will get a spin. The famous 'Chicken Dance' gets granny on the floor shaking tail with her grandchildren and 'Don't Stop Believin' by [...]

![Q-Tip "The [Abstract] Best" Mixtape](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1533332_lg.jpg)
One of the most exciting aspects of J. Period & Q-Tip's The [Abstract] Best mixtape is how fresh tracks from The Renaissance sound when contrasted against songs from Tip's back-catalog. One of my favorites, "Move," is considerably more vivid when cast between a pair of lackluster singles from 1999's Amplified , "Vivrant Thing" and "Breath & Stop." But the mix doesn't stop at Tip's solo material, it goes back to the beginning, covering his time with A Tribe Called Quest and many of the cameos he's made along the way. Amongst Busta Rhymes [...]

a collection of tunes that are crying out for a super kitsch cartoon video. download here amerie - crush possibly just meant to sound happy, not kitsch, but this remix conjures up images of bubbles, flying candy and glitter and there's nothing amerie can do about it... basement jaxx - romeo you can tell the jaxx heart kitsch by their album covers, even if you haven't heard the music. who else would put snowflake, [...]

"Sampling - When a portion of a pre-existing recording is used in a new track." (MDC MUM2700) "A sampler is an electronic music instrument closely related to a synthesizer. Instead of generating sounds from scratch, however, a sampler starts with multiple recordings (or "samples") of different sounds, and then plays each back based on how the instrument is configured." (wikipedia.com) Edwin Birdsong - Cola Bottle Baby Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger Herb Albert - Rise Notorious [...]

( Garrison Reid created this fine artwork.) About a week ago, Gorilla vs. Bear tried to help the hip-hop impaired (specifically, Skatterbrain ) with a "How Can You Not Like Hip-Hop?" mix. It's a great idea and it got me thinking about ways I can continue to educate on hip-hop. Apropos of nothing, the first idea I thought of was a mix featuring Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, only my (and whole lots other peoples') favorite hip-hop group. Back in the [...]
