![[Mixtapes] Xxxchange x Devlin x Darko – Couche Tard](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3298949_lg.jpg)
In it's original release, the now-classic (and still bumping as f**k) mixtape Couche Tard pulled together elements from all over the place - mixing tracks from Spank Rock with disco, funk, breakdance and even doo-wop, the crew of Xxxchange, Devlin and Darko completely outdid themselves. According to Xxxchange, "Couche Tard is the name of a convenience store in the french part of canada. It translates roughly to "we go to bed late" or "we stay up late". Luckily, the sessions made it to Soundcloud (in advance of the crew's soon-to-come [...]
This is an edit I have been loving for a while. I played it a few weeks ago and I think it may have got a good response. Not totally sure though - either way I enjoyed it. He cuts the early 80s Aretha track down to the basics, trimming it down to mostly the amazing chorus. Prince Klassen is associated with Fully Fitted who are a little amazing in my book.

The World Cup is in full swing, and here's a few tunes to get you in the mood. When Ghostdad and Vuvuzelas mix good things happen. Thanks to Football and Music for a good portion of the goods. As always Buffetlibre delivers a great remix. Big up! It's Marc from Buffetlibre. I attach you our [...]
I want him at the next Contrapalooza Man, I dunno what the hell is going on right now. I was surfing through the YouTubes to find some clips of people dancing to DJ Chipman 's "Kick Back" , and then somehow ended up on this lonely guy's clip. Then naturally I played the clip while also streaming the Chipman song below. Kinda difficult to time correctly, dancing [...]

The advantage of dubbing something an "experiment" is that — no matter what the outcome — you've achieved your goal. That's not a swipe at the Institute of Contemporary Art, which has hosted a number... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
Though we all love Spank Rock for his untouchable lyrics and unique flow, there's oh-so-much to be said for Xxxchange , one of the Spank Rock DJs, as well. As if that even needed typing. You should've gotten his remix of Sunny Day Sets Fire's "Adrenaline" when they released their Stranger E.P. on IAMSOUND . But if you didn't, feel free to grab it here. And don't mess up this time - buy the Summer Palace full-length when it drops in late February. Sunny Day Sets [...]

Just to clarify, the Deckheads are NOT judging this, instead that tough job will go to one of the fine members of the Playground Group. So don't think we can rig this! Music time. One of the best samples of Federico Franchi 's hit, Cream , to [...]
Can't stop listening to this Pase Rock/ Fully Fitted track, which was done to celebrate the kinda-big deal events of Nov 4th. Thanks to Catchdubs. Check out the Fully Fitted blog as well. Fully Fitted/ Pase Rock - Its a New Day

Armani XXXchange (Alex Epton) is a producer for the group Spank Rock . He along with Chris Rockswell (Chris Devlin), Ronnie Darko (Ronald Rubarth) did some great stuff. "XXXchange studied at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, then briefly the New England Conservatory before decamping for New York and a stint drumming with the indie electronic group Zero Zero, whose 2001 album AM Gold was produced by the highly sought-after DFA camp; he also earned a production apprenticeship at DFA, assisting James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy" (billboard). Spank Rock's album YoYoYoYoYo was released in 2006 and launched their [...]
Thought he's made a name for himself in 2008 already by releasing nearly a half dozen amazing remixes, XXXChange is also very talented in the realm of DJ mixes. Following up Sinden's and fellow Spank Rock affiliate Chris Devlin's mixes is the fourth installation in the We Make It Good mix series, which comes from none other than Spank Rock's go to guy for beats and all around excellent producer XXXChange. I've been listening to this mix over the last few days, and honestly there's a lot of stuff on here that I wouldn't expect from such [...]
New heat from Unruly , who suffered an unfortunate loss among the ranks a little over a week ago.

Fully Fitted - " Roll It - Fully Fitted Mix " Emynd - " To All My Haters " Scottie B - "Get Silly" img.caliroots.cop. here .

Its like this: Full Fitted has a singles album coming out on June 3rd via Turntable Lab. Thats all there is to it. Other than that all I can say that "100 Million" is straight fire and I'm hoping FF comes to Chicago sometime this summer... Shit would be dope. Track Listing: 1. Genevan Heathen Intro 2. [...]
Here's a vid for THE BUTT, who's comin home today from the Dominican Republic. A broseph just sent me YouTube of this Lufthansa flight landing in Munich. I don't like flying, and after watching this vid, neither will you... Well here's a little something calm your nerves. New Fully Fitted track which dropped on MadDecent 's blog, and has been the 2nd hottest thing in my ear this week. Fully Fitted - 100 Million ( direct ) ( zShare ) [...]
Well boys and girls, it's been a fun run here at Pedestrian. I've done a lot of blogging, even more MySpace monitoring, and mostly Thai food eating. But all lovely and wonderful things must come to an end, and it looks as if today (as in thirty or so minutes from now) will see me exit the doors (and ride down the elevator) of Pedestrian for the last time. I feel it's only proper that I leave y'all with a bit of something more familiar to you (Parisian sounds) with a taste of something a wee bit foreign (American hip-hop) [...]
