Although we might be a bit late on mentioning the Windy City's duo specialized in mash-up magic - The Hood Internet - we were onto Dirty Projectors as soon as they hit the internet and even a bit before the crash of the musical tsunami they triggered. Which is why this uncanny mash-up caught our ear - and rightly so. Danny Brown's dexterous rap gains in depths with the ethereal melody sang by a chorus of Dirty Projectors making for one of those perfectly balanced rap tracks that even indie [...]

I was wondering to myself the other day, about how it’s been a bit since a new Hood Internet mashup has come out. Today, the duo have quenched my thirst, with a Danny Brown x Dirty Projectors mash up called, “Grown Up Has No Trigger”. Taking Danny’s rambunctious rattles on “Grown Up” over the backbone of harmonies from DP’s “Gun Has No Trigger”, an errie coming of age story is born. Even though this is one of the more odd combos to pair up, we have learned never to doubt Hood Internet. Of course this works [...]

When we put together our Best Songs Of 2012, So Far list, we included both Danny Brown 's "Grown Up" and Dirty Projectors ' "Gun Has No Trigger." We did not anticipate this. For their latest concoction, The Hood Internet has pitted the two songs against each other. The Danny vocals are a little quiet and muffled, but it's still worth giving a listen.

Królowie klubowego wciąż-jednak-podziemia kowerują absolutną gwiazdę świata. Jej siostra popularyzuje jeden z indie hymnów minionego roku (od siebie dodam, że jej wersja, między innymi za sprawą użycia, wykorzystywanego na przykład przez Erykę Badu, sampla podoba mi się znacznie bardziej od oryginału). Takie melanże to oczywiście nie nowość. Wydaje mi się jednak, że świadczą o pewnym trendowo-gatunkowym bezkrólewniu. Wyczekiwaniu...

The video for Dirty Projector's latest single from the amazing album Bitte Orca " Stillness Is The Move " was released last week. It was shot in Mount Equinox in Vermont, and I love the quirky choreography. P.S. Amber Coffman is sooooo pretty. Also, check out this sick mash-up of Major Lazer's " Hold The Line " and Dirty Projectors' " Stillness Is THe Move" made by The Hood Internet . Thanks Persona Sauna Major Lazer [...]

I feel that as soon Major Lazer's "Hold The Line" hit, the backlash began- like the same dayglo crew that gobbled every Santi electro remix like so much dick was suddenly too cool for a little airhorn and Nina Sky. But that- for me at least- is where the whole Mad Decent op really shines: cranking out artist after artist after jam after jam that don't give a fuck about what 728x90 sneaker ad you have at the top of your blog. It's about the beat. It's about the party. You can't dance and worry about looking cool [...]
