Next week, Passion of the Weiss will be counting down the 50 Greatest Producers of All-Time. Before then, we're highlighting some of the best to ever yell at people for labeling them "beat makers." (It's better than the excessively pause-worthy, "knob twiddlers.)" Before you ask, #1 is going to the guy who made the beat for "Still Tippin.'" It seemed like the only sensible option. Rick Rock What was the point of [...]
Taking us back to 2008, paper planes was first made popular by the Pineapple Express' movie trailer and everyone started asking what the song was. The track was released in the 2007 Kala album, M.I.A's second studio album. let's see.. what's there to say about paper planes. If you think about it it's probably perfect for what it is; catchy melody, catchy instrumental and its a very simple song all together. Go to any club in the city and you will see everyone go nuts as soon as they blast the song. Everyone goes to the dance floor [...]
You've heard it before. That smoother-than-smooth horn loop is recognizable from the very onset of the first note. So indelible, you could probably hum it in your sleep. "Rump Shaker!" you call out with abandon to all decency. Yes, I am talking about the "Rump Shaker" - that lovably tacky 1992 rap hit from Wreckx-N-Effect . It was a single that climbed to the top of the charts and caused its fair share of complaints. Afterall, the [...]

Big shout out to all the new cats coming through and throwing down the crazy tracks. So here is some new new ish and some new new ish from over there . Lets get it! This one has been buzzing. Nocturnal put me onto it from somebodys recording of it on their cell phone. Finally dropped, shout out to Leak Jones . [...]
Another tune that reminds me what I never listened to even though everyone else was. I think I would have enjoyed the wobbly version from BMV . MP3: Wreckx-N-Effect - Rumpshaker! (BMV's RudeBoy re-edit) Seriously though, who doesn't think the resurgence of Speed Garage is hilarious? ...and you should read this article on Brazil's Watermelon Woman from VICE . That's where the image came from.
The Vines (DJ SET), Ajax, LunyP & The Hump Day Project, what do all these brilliant artists have in common? Well they are all playing at Moulin Rouge in Sydney on Friday, March 13.

There are these drink specials $5 Agwa Bombs, Wet Pussies, Champagne & Vodkas. So even if you do not [...]

So where I'm at right now had a 4.5 earthquake last night so I immediately turned to the iTunes to find out what songs I had that went along with an earthquake theme. I came across this gem that I didn't even remember having, and even though it's not something new or indie, I can't resist posting it. Hopefully you'll understand.

A little late 'cause it's a busy week, but I aim to make it up to you! This week is a little different, in that it's light on bios and banter, but heavy on mixtape bangin'-ery. So here's the idea , I've collected some favorites from 1991-1994 that were played-the-hell-out-of on the radio in their day, but are very far off the beaten path today. This collection might be a little west-coast-centric, but don't hate, that's just the extent that my little boombox would tune to growing up in L.A. Play it [...]
This is a free crash course in music education from the last 40 years, courtesy of Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk . It goes by really, really fast. My blogger pal Bruce (of Some Velvet Blog hotness fame) came up with an idea to do a massive joint post of all the songs from the ADD-inducing, mile-a-minute mashup disc Night Ripper ( previous post ), which uses over a hundred original songs to make the 42 minutes of party goodness on this album. We both [...]
