Take a peep at this gloriously awkward video as A-Trak looks horrendously out of place on a beach (he is Canadian, they probably don't even have beaches) in full clothing with SI swimsuit model Jessica Gomes. The pair then move from the model's domain to a record store - a location where A-Trak is clearly more comfortable. The scene is kind of adorable, with A-Trak, who is clearly a nerd, teaching the pretty girl a few trade secrets about record scratching. Hot girls, DJs - this video can't lose! A-Trak created a track for SI and Ray-Ban called, [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-12T18:58:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4055857/ill-just-leave-this-here-153/
(Photo by Matmoon ) I've been getting this question a bit recently in some emails so I decided to address it on Twitter this morning and also here. The question was simply why I'm behind other music blogs in posting tracks. Now, to understand this question fully you have to look at what exactly posting tracks means to people. To me, it means posting the full track when it gets released so you, the listener, are able to decided whether or not you'd like to buy it. For a lot of other music blogs it means posting [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-09T19:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4049452/kanye-west-jay-z-chris-brown-rihanna-lana-del-rey/
What good timing for The Throne to drop their visually bonkers live concert video for "Ni**as In Paris" today, as Kanye West and Jay-Z have been nominated for a Performing Woodie at the 2012 mtvU Woodie Awards. Elsewhere on the nominees list is Chris Brown and Rihanna, who compete against one another for the EDM Effect Woodie for their electro collaborations with Benny Benasi on "Beautiful People" and Calvin Harris on "We Found Love" , respectively. And it looks like college kids have got a soft spot for Lana Del Rey, as the nearly-chart-topping [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-09T00:53:18+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4047229/2012-juno-award-nominees/

CHICAGO, IL -- This Friday, February 6th, the legendary DJ & champion turntablist A-Trak will be performing at The Mid. If you don't know who A-Trak is, here are a couple career highlights: he's one half of Duck Sauce (of "Barbra Streisand" fame), he won the DMCs World DJ Championship at the age of 15 (FIFTEEN), and he's the boss of NYC's Fool's Gold Records. His sets are characterized by a]]> text/html 2012-02-02T23:57:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4033037/big-bad-wolf/
Ok, I'm going to be totally honest here... I'm not much of a Duck Sauce fan. No disrespect though, Armand and A-Trak are total legends in my books and they can do no wrong. That being said, their "Big Bad Wolf" jam wasn't really my thing and I never thought much of it. But last night in my soundcloud quest of bangers, I stumbled upon an impressive young guy called WolfWolf. He's Australian, which explains why he's so good. He hasn't been around for that long apparently, and his first release only came out last summer. [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-24T10:49:02+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4010058/major-sauce-or-duck-lazer/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Winnipeg is a hotbed for ghetto funk. We've seen some incredible acts come through this city - NICK THAYER being the latest. We can thank our friends at MUSIC FIRST for this show. I can't imagine a producer as diverse as Thayer. Everything he does falls loosely into breaks, but the tempo ranges in his production makes him stand out. Yes, there's breaks plain and simple, but also some of the best ghetto funk and dubstep I've heard [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-12T23:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3984794/the-club-best-of-2011-part-24/

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be HBOs Entourage replacement only lasted two seasons. The dropping of the axe on How To Make It In America didnt come as a surprise to most, as the TV program was mainly famous for starring Kid Cudi. But while the show, which followed two friends (Ben Epstein and Cam Calderon) trying to succeed in New Yorks competitive fashion scene, was far from perfect, its soundtrack was quite impressive.

Because there were so many music videos to emerge in 2011, we have to give props where props are due. As it would be impossible to simply call one music video the "Best Music Video of 2011," for the first time ever, we're naming winners in a bunch of categories based on the major themes we saw in this year's crop of clips. So, instead of one best music video of 2011, we've arrived at nine! See which videos really made a mark on 2011 below. Best Music Video About A [...]]]>
