Remix Fire

A slew of remixes for your ear balls:

DJ Sega has been working his ass off round the clock in order to bring you this goodness.  Mad Decent had a nice write up about him today and so did Actual Records.  Check him, Ruxbin, SixTen & Co. at their monthly at the Dive.  Here are some of his latest:

Sick remix of Kanye's 'Runaway', which also shows up on the Sixer Series below

Got this remix and the first thing that came to mind was Dilla's "Donuts", this stuff is amazing.  UPDATE - And was giving it away for free, seems to have been taken down.  The EP is Rogue Cho Pa and the artist is called Star Slinger:

Speaking of Dilla, here is some posthumous awesomeness from him and Madlib.  Found it on both 2dopeboyz and Pitchfork for the soundcloud:


Jaylib - Louder (Blast Your Radio Theme) by stonesthrow





Here are some other delectables for you as well:

Diplo spent a year gathering the stems for this remix, but it was worth it.  His take on Sleigh Bells "Tell Em" available for free download via Mad Decent

Lastly here is a free download of Duck Sauce's remix of "Hot Mess" by Chromeo from Stereogum which they got from Green Label Sound.  And here is the humorous video:

Holy Fuck!

I'm going to need someone to come clean up this mess I just made in my pants after reading the lineup for Virgin Free Fest at Merriweather Post Pavilion on 9/25.  LCD, Neon Indian, MIA (i'll still watch a car crash), Yeasayer, Sleigh Bells, Die Antwoord, Edward Sharpe and more.  Did I mention it's free?!!  WTF are these guys doing different then pitchfork and Lolla?  I'd feel raped if I just got back from what was a decent line up at the pitchfork fest this past weekend only to hear I could go see all those bands for free in the fall when it'll be gorgeous out.  SUCKERS!

Hip Hop Anonymous

Gonna flip the switch on y'all and write about a collection of links, music, and other goodness from the world of hip-hop.  Cause I'm as hood as it gets, Yo!  Hip-hop was cool when wearing backwards baseball jerseys was where it was at.  Am I right people?  

Let's start with the funny.  Cause that's really what I'm about, the funny:

I enjoy a good fail, and apparently so does complex, because they posted the 50 biggest hip-hop fails of all time.  A little aside, I love that "FAIL" has become a noun.  Feels right, don't it?  Highlights for this guy are: the Game getting the ax on 'Change of Heart', Lupe Fiasco not remembering the lyrics to a Tribe song at VH1's hip hop honors (srsly??!?), Brian Austin Green (of 90210 notoriety) working with the Pharcyde, Vanilla Ice's blockbuster 'Cool As Ice', Jay-Z's mom making him apologize to Nas and Lil Kim's plastic surgery debacle.  Here's the article: 50 Worst Hip-Hop Fails

IN THE NEAR FUTURE

Big Boi is twittering and bopping around the internets as much as anyone these days promoting his solo album "Sir Lucious Left Foot - The Son of Chico Dusty".  Does he want me not to tell people about this thing?  I mean I only have 140 characters to post on something and that title is just obnoxious.  Anywho, every track I have heard I have loved, and we talked previously about the track that Andre 3k shows up on, which is the bees knees.  Listen to the entire album on his myspace page and here is a track for free and one to listen to while you read.  Please read more, my family is hungry...

So last week, the "Brian Wilson's Smile" of hip-hop (sorry Pitchfork already used the Chinese Democracy joke) got its first leak.  Dr. Dre's collaboration with Jay-Z was posted on Nah Right, fully accompanied by the tag department.  Track is called "Under Pressure" and its good even without a hook.  Stoked to hear more.  Funniest part of it all is how hood the dude over at Nah Right got on Twitter after people were busting his stones about taggin the song and Dre coming out and saying the song wasn't done.  Sorry bro, you have a blog, there is nothing about you that scares anyone.  Its science.  Regardless, they do awesome things and find great music, so I can't knock em.  Enjoy. (Originally found by me on Pitchfork)

Last on the new album from well known Artist front, is Round 2 of The Roots and John Legend. John (we are on a first name basis) popped up on a couple of tracks on "How I Got Over" and also played with the gang during the Roots Picnic.  Apparently it is going well because they are in the studios now ready to put out an album in Sept of "60's and 70's soul".  Check out more over at okayplayer and here is a video of one of the new tracks.

Read on for more sweetness about other Roots' aquaintences and a couple of awesome (yet completely unrelated) free tracks I found:

Not for Parrotheads

Not sure why I didn't include this that barrage of new stuff that came out this week.  But I saw this duo over at the Starlight Ballroom and was thoroughly feeling the sound that they had.  As my buddy put it, this album is much cleaner than the live stuff, but the album is still A-OK.  This is an album that I am definitely coming around, kudos to the Tuckers for pointing me in the right direction.
