Vyle releases a new installment of his Hoodtronics mixtape series. The first version mixed by Flosstradamus in 2007 (Rolling Stone Mag’s Best DJ’s of 2008) was met with alot of praise, it’s packed with collaborations between many of today’s upcoming electro, dance and rap artists (such as Surkin, Radioclit, DatA, Kid Sister).

This next installment is just as packed to the brim with collaborations, remixes etc. as the first mixtape and shows Vyle evolving even more, production coming from Tepr, Daedelus, Chuck Inglish (The Cool Kids), Million Dolla Mano and vocal apperances by Mestizo and High Priest (from newly reformed Anti-Pop Consortium), this mixtape reassures us that 2009 is going to a great year for Vyle.

Chi-Town producer Million Dollar Mano comes through with a new clubified remix and this time his attention turns to a rock band, to be more precise Good Charlotte. The remix is a gritty take on the track “The Anthem” from Good Charlotte and it features rapping from fellow Chi-Town alumni Hollywood Holt.

Mano hit us up with this remix. Chi-Town rapper Mic Terror on the M.I.A. “Come Around” joint, apparently it’s official.

BONUS: This is perhaps not official, Freeway on “Paper Planes”. (Thanks 51:51)

I haven’t told you how much I love this song. I have been a big fan of Maino since way back, so I’m happy to see that he has kind of a hit going on with this track. The “Hi Hater” chorus is somewhat, hmmm what shall we say, feminine for a rap song. But that’s alright, Hi Hater!

Here is a remix and LL Cool J’s freestyle from his upcoming mixtape. (Thanks to Xclusive Zone and Nah Right for the hook-up)

Mano is the best thing to come out of the Chi since Kanyeezy and Steed Lord is the best thing to come out of Iceland since Black Death vodka. Together, they create what starts out sounding a bit like The Knife if they did b-more/club music and then it turns into more of a screwed down crunk track but with a Scandinavian twist.

The track is taken from the upcoming “Dirty Mutha EP” (with artwork by The Zonders) which will be released digitally sometime at the end of the month, it features remixes from Crookers, DJ Mehdi and Mano.

Also, for those of you in Scandinavia. Don’t miss Steed Lord at Festen! this weekend starting tonight in Stockholm and then they hit Oslo tomorrow.

Steed Lord was in a car accident yesterday so the shows are cancelled. We send them our warmest regards and wish them a quick recovery.

April 10, Stockholm, Berns
April 11, Oslo, Dattera Til Hagen

We pretty much love all the remixes and tracks that Mano keeps putting out. He’s seriously just killing it right now. This is his remix of the Matt & Kim track “It’s A Fact (PrintedStained)” and it also features fellow Chi rapper Hollywood Holt. Mano turns this into a straight up club track much in the same vein as the Flosstradamus boys did with the previous Matt & Kim single “Yeah Yeah”, it’s quite catchy and will have you dancing in no time.
