Vybz Kartel – Go Go Wine (Produced By Dre Skull)

April 25th, 2011. By Brendan

Mixpak Records is the label that’s going to hands down have the breakout album of 2011. This is referring of course, to the Dre Skull produced upcoming Vybz Kartel collaboration LP , titled “Kingston Story” – the followup to the huge Jamacian smash hit “Yuh Love”.

Dre Skull talks a bit below about the creation of the album and the first single, the horn heavy, Hot 97 ready summer-anthem-to-be “Go, Go, Wine”. You can stream the track below, be on the lookout for when it drops in digital retailers on May 4th, madness.

For the last nine months I’ve been working with Vybz Kartel on a full length album and it’s finally time to let the world hear some music. The album, ‘Kingston Story,’ will be out in June, but the first single, ‘Go Go Wine,’ will be released on May 3rd and Toddla T debuted it on his BBC Radio 1 show last Thursday during a special show on Jamaican music. Listen back to the show which has a bunch of great interviews and music (including a quick interview he did with me last time we were in Kingston). Pitchfork also showed support and debuted a stream of ‘Go Go Wine’ (which has resulted in 80 plus YouTube rips). On Friday, the track got radio support fom Jabba (of Massive B fame) who gave the track multiple spins on Sirius XM and from Max Glazer who dropped the track on his Federation Sound show on EVR.

I want to take a moment to give a special shout out to Mr. Glazer, because I wrote the riddim for ‘Go Go Wine’ in January after I played him a bunch of cuts from the Kartel album and he shared his perspective on what the album had and what it might be missing. Basically, he mentioned that the record could use a real Hot 97 friendly/rhythmic dancehall cut and I took his advice and went back into the studio before my last trip to record with Kartel. Respect for the advice!

DJ MikeQ Ft. Maurica Rodriguez – Maurica

April 25th, 2011. By Brendan

New Jersey resident DJ MikeQ Is one of the leading figures of the East Coast’s long-running (but still largely underground) ballroom/vogue-house scene. Only 25 and he’s already been touted as somewhat of a legend in the ballroom scene, with re-edits and remixes of tons of classic house material that are reworked into a sparse and jarring dance music.

Maurcia feels like a homage to the vogue scene, as MikeQ hands over the mic to Maurcia Rodriguez, a self-described “transexual from the Lower East Side… which means I’m living inside what used to be a man’s body”

Maurica lays down some real talk about being able to still dudes at basketball, being self conscious about one’s feet, breast enhancement surgery, tranny parties, vegetarianism, and a perfect date including playing Atari on a first date and watching some new Tyler Perry movies. In the background, MikeQ sweats out some stabby, percussion that compliments the vocals perfectly.

But underneath the lightheartedness of some of her lyrics, Maurica’s assertion that “this healthcare situation is ridiculous” still hits a nerve as a reflection on the way that adequate healthcare still remains pretty inaccessible to a lot of trans folks.

Keep your eye out for many more big productions coming from DJ MikeQ soon, including what we can only imagine will be a monstrous remix of Egyptrixx’s “Liberation Front”.

The 2 Bears – Red Bull Music Academy Radio Mix

April 25th, 2011. By Brendan

Start your week off right with this Red Bull Music Academy exclusive, new music from Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Ministry of Sound radio host Raf Rundell, who occasionally dress up as bears and make joyfully oddball house music under The 2 Bears moniker.

Falling under the weird multicolored umbrella of the Greco-Roman Soundsystem collective, they’re partially named as a tribute to the gay contingent of early disco and house pioneers who paved the way for a movement that others would eventually mutate into “brostep” thirty years later, and partially as a tribute to those big furry things that run around in the woods and terrorize cottagers.

In a recent interview with Dazed Digital, Rundell talks a bit about the oft-made connection between their name and gay subculture by saying “we have huge respect for the pioneers of House music and nightclubbing – some of them were gay. We have some gay friends but I think most people probably do.”

Redundant maybe, but there’s something humble about the statement that makes this batch of tunes from Hessle heavyweight Joe, Adele, Toddla T and Guilty Simpson that makes it feel all the more authentic.

Missing Links

April 25th, 2011. By Martin

Teki Latex should need no introduction and this mix is vibes galore (there’s even a sneak peek of his Bambounou collabo remix for Myrryrs which will be out on Discobelle Records soon).

“This mixtape is a round up of my recent collaborations and remixes organized around a little exercise: each track of mine is mixed in and out of tracks that have somehow influenced said Teki track. My taste in electronic music covers quite a wide spectrum and the tracks i co-produce and/or chose to put some vocals over are sometimes going in different, some might think opposite directions. With this mix i was trying to explain the weird logic behind it all, to show why it all makes perfect sense to me by highlighting the missing links between my works. I also wanted to demonstrate how my tracks and the directions i choose to take in my music are (humbly) made to be interpreted as “missing links” between these classic tracks I love. As usual with most of my solo mixes this was mixed completely live with my CDJs in the mighty computer room, so please excuse the occasional “ruggedness” of it: this is how i like it, and i hope you will enjoy it too. Make sure you grab a copy of our “5th Dimension EP” when it drops May 2nd on Marble!”

Mister Tweeks – Numéro Sept EP

April 22nd, 2011. By Brendan

FLY002, the second release on outstanding independent label Pelican Fly is out now. It features original tracks Numéro Sept, Money and Elevator as well as remixes by High Powered Boys, Rizzla and Lucid.

Rizzla’s take on “Money” is especially hypnotic, weaving through scaling synths and cumbia influenced percussion. But it’s tough to beat the accordian and squawking background bird noises weaved in between pitched vocals and darting bongo power of the original.

Stream it below and see for yourself, and don’t forget to pick up the whole release RIGHT HERE and become internet friends with them so you don’t stand any chance of missing out on their next release.

Voltron – Freshmen EP

April 22nd, 2011. By Martin

Today marks the release of the latest offering on Discobelle Records, Voltron delivers the goods with their stunning debut EP aptly titled “Freshmen EP”. Grab it at our favorite digital music outlet such as Juno.

With influences ranging from Baltimore ghetto beats over gay seventies disco singers to Chicago DJs who overdosed more than 20 years ago, Silverback Recordings co-founders Voltron have no lack of inspiration. Curating some gigantic releases in the past year, the Belgium based trio are now showing their dedication to proper dance music through their Discobelle Records debut release. Dubbed the “Freshmen EP”, it’s actually anything but – a series of blazing and polished “UK-garage-meets-soulful-house-in-the-bathroom-of-a-rave” productions that showcase a vibrant dancefloor energy as well a depth perfectly suited to headphones. Call “Be For Real” the futuristically techy goth house version of “Mr. Me Too” by the Clipse if you wanna, only replace the “uh huhs” with an infectious female vocal hook, shimmering filter sweeps and a rising and falling synth line that makes you feel like your vertebrae is crumpling in on itself. Similarly, the flip track “Don’t Stop” could popularize the term “sophistigarage” with its piercing, darting percussive strength. Employing some bashy drums around the edges of chopped stuttering vocals and echoing xylophone vibes, it feels and sounds like part of the feverish dreams of a hungover diva on a Sunday afternoon in New York.

On remix duties, Manchester native XXXY weaves some magic following his breakout “You Always Start It/Ordinary Things” EP on Ten Thousand Yen with a tune destined for many repeat plays. Wisely letting the vocals get carried along a landslide of hazy, organically textured house, XXXY plays up the longing-filled vocal hook before setting down some acid washed bursts on some kind of futuristic electronic xylophone.

And like emergency room medics speeding through the backalleys of LA in a rickety ambulance with fake plates, Nguzunguzu jolt some new life into “Be For Real” with blazingly fast blasts of pulsating loops simulating what it’s like to have a defibrillator pressed against you for five minutes. Catchy and rife with urgency, it sounds like coming out from a near-death experience with cardiac arrest or what it feels like to have a 135bpm irregular heartbeat.

Meanwhile, The Phantom brings forward an effortlessly danceable jam that weaves in and out of a dubby, garage basement sound. Punctuated by a “HA” sound effect that could be equally at home in a Proxy track, it’s the one that might get you jacking your body without even realizing you’re doing it.

On a similar tip, J Dixon attacks “Be For Real” with a barrage of cowbells and percussion, only to drop everything and let the vocoder vocals come through and then build up a conga-backed, maraca shaking quiltwork of sound.

Finally Ultravid’s interpretation is a slice of the musical “new flesh”, straight out of videodrome: pulsating drums melding with human flesh and lazerlike synths colliding with human voices in the middle of a dark dancefloor. Long after the track’s over, the vocals will be rattling around inside the misty recesses of your head.

The fellas did a mix to promote the release, and it’s been spinned repeatedly here at Discobelle HQ.

The Weeknd – House Of Balloons (Chopped not slopped by DJ OG Ron C)

April 21st, 2011. By Martin

DJ OG Ron C brings us his latest chopped not slopped mixtape and this time he turns his attention to Toronto based internet sensation The Weeknd, which feels like a perfect match. This is an excellent mix for lazy pre-summer days.
