We first met Nic Xedro when we played in Berlin the first time and from that fun filled, sweat infusing live show of his we knew that we hadn’t heard the last of him.

His debut single “See You In The Club” dropped yesterday on Crushed Records and comes packed with some powerful remixes from label heads Purple Crush, Krames, WZRDZ, Leif and Boody B. Included in the package is the remix from two of our favorite French dj’s/producers, namely the club destroying duo known as Kazey & Bulldog who brings us their signature b-more heat that contains an evil yet infectious synthline twist + a remix from Australian newcomer Hugga Thugg who just relocated to London and he gives us an intense electroish party starter of a remix.

“There is an air of mystery that surrounds Nic Xedro that is both confusing and intoxicating. Like a hipster T-Pain with a Soho artist following akin to Basquiat, his music oozes metrosexuality with a yearning to discover his pop sensibilities. And it doesn’t stop at the recordings; his live show is like watching a circus with dancers, freaks in masks, and a silent spotlight carrying character who follows the diva as he saunters across the stage. The scene gets set, the vibe sinks in, and the audience is left thinking about one thing, sex.”

NYC producer/rapper Leif might be back in Sweden this summer, until then we have to settle for this remix of Glass Candy.

Leif and Palms Out are some of our favorite dudes of 2008 and this is a collaborative effort. Leif is just about to release his “Black Magic” EP, this remix by fellow NYC cohorts Stay High (check the original version here) keeps the track on more of a frantic and evil tip.

Just had to do this post about a mega party that the fine people in Swim Fast are throwing tomorrow night at Debaser here in Malmö. The night will feature performances from Brooklyn blog favorites in the electro/hip hop/dance/80’s/booty duo Purple Crush, Swedish technopop connoisseurs The Field + more bands and a ton of local dj’s. If you’re in the area, this is a must visit.

This track “Go Digital” is a storming updated 80’s disco track that sees Purple Crush team up with rising NYC rapper Leif. Check out the new Purple Crush album “Blog Party” that was just released.

PS. If you’re in the Öresund region, you can also catch them on saturday at the amazing Trailer Park Festival in Copenhagen together with among others Fagget Fairys, AC Slater, Boody B, Kasper Björke and Djuna Barnes.

The awesome Leif is associated with the Palms Out crew and will be hitting Scandinavia this summer. He’s also back with a new track called “Black Magic” and this is one of our summer jams.

NYC producer/dj Leif brings us his remix of the Bangers & Cash track “B.O.O.T.A.Y”. He gives it a fresh spin incorporating some weird yet funky sounds. On the remix we also find Illvia from Kudu trading verses with Santogold.
