Chrissy Murderbot

This post has been way too long in the making but here it finally is. Chrissy Murderbot is just about to release his new album on Sleazetone Records come September 1st and it combines elements of juke, dubstep, old-skool rave, bassline, and dancehall. It’s already been getting plays from heavy hitters such as Diplo, Drop The Lime, Rob Da Bank and DJ Donna Summer. The track “Roll Another One” sees sizzurp superstar Hawatha Hurd add his Texan drawl to an infectious juke/dubsteppy beat (fellow Grinder Alex Bok Bok made a fantastic version of the track where he mixed it up with Gregor Salto for his Mixin’ It Up).

King Tutt – Sets Up (Dirty) and My Crew Be Unruly party info

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

flyerfront

There is no shortage of big parties around but not everyday there is epic party. The parties you’re gonna tell your children about when you grow old. Last years My Crew Be Unruly party was one of those parties. Lots of memories and stories but the biggest moment was when K-Swift(R.I.P) was killing the main room and you could touch the energy in the air. When Wes got on right after, all black people left and only a couple of white hipsters were still dancing (made me laugh but not stop dancing ’cause he was as always amazing). And if I didn’t love DJ Sega’s music before that night he got my full attention when he did his “no headphone” back to back with Wes. AMAZING! Then there was Scottie B and DJ Class live on the mic, Blaqstarr singing and Emynd and Bo Bliz tearing up the yard. What a good night.

This years party is dedicated to K-swift who sadly past away the day that followed last years night.

“This year’s party is the first time in over a decade that the three big crews of Baltimore – Unruly, Doo Dew Kidz, & Club Kingz will all be sharing a venue.” – Puja Patel

How amazing is that? Can you afford to not be there? I don’t think so. And where am I then? On a stinking boat, life sux :(

Here is a hard hitting track from Unrulys King Tutt for your Serato! B-more 4 life!

Major Lazer with the first leak from their much anticipated upcoming (June 16th) debut album “Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do”. This tune is straight up muscles! (Via Mad Decent)

“The world is likely not ready for the arrival of Diplo & Switch’s musical machination Major Lazer; a renegade commando with a lazer arm and a rocket-powered skateboard who fights legions of Vampires, Zombies, Pimps, Mummies and other unsavory forces of evil. The first album in years of original material by these two highly regarded producers, the music is Diplo & Switch’s interpretation and homage to the songs and sounds they have discovered through the years.. The identity of Major Lazer was created by the two producers as a conduit to express their affinity for Jamaican music. The album references dancehall, ska, reggae, dub, calypso, and soca music recontextualized via Diplo and Switch’s club friendly background.”

Bonus: “Zumbi” which features Andy Milanokis.

Everybody who didn’t make it out to SXSW this year really missed out on something amazing. Lucky for you, the kind people over at The Fader rented a camcorder and shot their own small home videos. Here is one with what might be the most anticipated supergroup in blog history. Diplo and Switch is teaming up to form Major Lazer. As Paul Devro put it: “baby crying over autotune is sooo next level”.

Remember: Guns don’t kill people, LAZERS do!!!!
