A few months back I featured a track by Truly Beautiful Disaster called "Mirandah's Verandah". The band is a collision of the always masked and dangerous, Fred Gazebo and Gumbo Stoop, on guitar and synths respectively. Very fun stuff. A few days back they sent over this track. It's always great to watch the progression of a band, and these two have definitely stepped up their game. While "V...

Masked and Dangerous......
Sometimes I Mainstream...
I try not to spend too much time posting on big, mainstream acts, but occasionally I come across something that really gets me excited...It's a pretty rare occurrence for me to get hyped up about big label bands. Franz Ferdinand recently released an album of Dub tracks called "Blood", and it's really sparked my curiosity. Produced by Mr. Dan, a protege of dub legends, Mad Professor and "Scratc...

AutoRock the Dance Party
This just in from the District...AutoRock has done a very nice remix of this track by The Dance Party. It's a straight up floor rocker...I'm particularly into the percussion work at the beginning of the track. I'm hooking it up with plenty of time before the weekend. This means that there's no excuse not to have it downloaded and ready to go for peak hour droppage in your weekend DJ set.The D...

The Dead End
Chew Fu has a really nice remix of Daft Punk's "Make Love"...which can be found on the Daft Punk Remix album that's around blogland. That whole album was a really cool concept...get a bunch of sites, to get a bunch of artists to each remix a track off "Human After All." Some were really great...a few were pretty awful...Chew Fu's was one of the great ones. So, I was pretty happy when he sent ...

Just got this great Major Lazer remix from Nacey of the Nouveau Riche crew out of DC. Rumor has it that they throw some of the illist parties in the District. He comes on full force with this one. Great fucking beat on top of an already dope track. Keep your eyes on this dude.Major Lazer - Hold The Line (Nacey Remix) (ZS)In other news, big ups to the DJ's holding it down last night at the W...

Son of a.......
My inability to get tickets to the surprise Beastie Boys show has put quite a damper on my week. Normally, I'm a pretty resourceful dude, but the ticket gods took a massive dump on me with this one. Three computers were unable to get through to Rams Head Live's stupid ticketing system. The one time that I did get through, I started jumping up and down uncontrollably, then when I went to place...

Sanitgold...(yup still feels weird sayin it)...played a show this past Sunday in Baltimore, and I straight up missed it. My new debit card has yet to arrive in the mail, so I was, for all intents and purposes, broke. Plus, it was at Rams Head Live, which in my humble opinion is the worst venue in the city. No hate to those of you who enjoy frequenting that spot, but I like my venues dark and ...

Fish Kill
It's been an interesting week. Massive fish kill in Bmore's Inner Harbor created quite the stank smell outside my office. Then animal rights protesters interrupted my lunch break. (I'm cool with animal rights, but a guys got to have some peace time with his lunch.) Then I ran out of cigarettes, but couldn't buy more cause my bank got taken over by a bigger bank, thus making my debit card inva...

Catz Will Be Killin It...
My friends the Cool Catz are playing a show tonight at the House of Blues in Hollywood. I'm stranded (not really stranded....more vacationing...) in the wilds of Arizona...so while I'd love to make the six hour trek for some melt my face hip hop...the reality is I'm gonna be sitting by pool getting my drink on. No worries B...I'm sure you guys will show the crowd what the fuck is up. Set time...

I Got Billions In My Box....What You Got???
I love my Soundcloud dropbox. It makes getting new music so easy. I also love it when Billion Dollar DJs drop new tracks into it. Here's their latest. Straight fire, as usual. Kovak - I'll Be Good To You (Billion Dollar Djs Big Trouble Mix) by Billion Dollar Djs

Friday....Time For Some......
Today I feel like listening to some local Hip Hop, so I think it appropriate to drop a couple tracks from one of my favorite DC/Bmore based MC's. Articulate sent these tracks to me on different days over the last couple weeks, and I'm really into what he's doing. Hopefully you'll feel the same and show him some love next time he drops a record, or visits a venue in your city. Hip Hop on a Fri...

Vive La Difference from Karoshi Bros. on Vimeo.The Karoshi Bros have just finished up this video for there track "Vive La Difference" and I'm pretty excited about it. I first heard the song when Dmerit sent over their version of the track a few months back, which was instantly placed on the heavy rotation list. The Brothers have also provided a very thoughtfully pieced together mix-tape to en...

If you live in...or happen to be visiting...the general vicinity I suggest that you get off your ass and get down there. $3 rails and french dj's......I've been sold.
