FRIED MY LITTLE BRAIN

Yes, i’m behind the times in posting this, but who cares, it’s been in my itunes for some time now - and I felt the need to share it, just in case anyone missed it the first time round.

Benga & Coki bring us this all- encompassing 5 minutes of madness, scratchy sounds all over the place, cowbell and beeps and synths - YES, this is DUBSTEP at it’s finest. Dark and brooding..and, who cares if I post Benga regularly - this kid is the wonder stuff…

And in some other news, a recent piece about the end/future of club MCs - by my girl

After their excellent “Beat Up / Black Jub” release on Tiny Sticks, the inimitable Mock & Toof return with the first release on their own imprint, M&T Inc. “Big Hands For A Lady” is a solid nu-discoid cut, the sort of music you could imagine playing in a 1970s smoking/disco lounge in outta space (if that thing did exist, that is)

So, i’ve decided to make a post dedicated to a couple of older, favourite tracks as I seem to be posting just the newer things these days, and both of these killer cuts are utter classics.

First up Joey Beltram’s remix of the classic track by The Prodigy, Charly. Typical Beltram sound we all know and love, with the insane lyrics and whirring high strings of the evil Prodigy - “Charly says, always tell your mummy before you go off somewhere”

The Prodigy - Charly (Beltram’s Says Mix) (Yousendit)

Secondly we have the gem of a remix by 1996 Dave Clarke of a classic Chemical Brothers track - Chemical Beat.

Chemical Brothers - Chemical Beat (Dave Clark Remix) (Yousendit)

These are both stormers and no music collection should be without, grab whilst you can!

Cosmo Vitelli is also known as Benjamin Boguet, the French-born artist lived in Côte d’Ivoire for 10 years, before moving back to France and strengthening his love for music. This track is some disco sounding filter funk straight out of Paris - I like!

Cosmo Vitelli - La Radiateur (Yousendit)

And some more filtered Paris funk:

Cosmo Vitelli  -  Robot Soul (featuring Joey Eppard)

“Converted” is especially reminiscent of something by Bot’Ox, but Vitelli makes music with an extra twist of funk and an added boost of disco that the colder, more calculated Bot’Ox never quite touched.

Grab the 12″ from Toppler Music.

I don’t have to say a lot about this, apart from it’s around 300 songs packed into an hour on a tape back 1987 by Dr Dre. This is when the NWA era was kicking off and obviously it’s HEAT.

Er, and in other news, rumours that Dre and the Klaxons are going to do a collaboration:

“The Klaxons want Dr. Dre to produce their second album.

Lead singer James Righton has been pictured wearing a T-Shirt featuring the rap legend’s image, while his bandmate Jamie Reynolds has been sporting a T-Shirt paying tribute to Dre’s album ‘2001′ in a bid to grab his attention.

Righton admits the band are desperate to enlist his much sought after services. He told NME magazine: “There’s a deeper meaning to the T-shirts. We’re massive fans of Dre and would like to work with him so we thought we’d try to get him into everything we do.

“Geffen, our American label, have just told us they’ve sent our first record ‘Myths of the Near Future’ to him, so we’ll see what happens.

“We’re thinking of getting him in as executive producer. There is a clarity to his records, they sound slick without sounding cheesy or too smooth.”

Is this for real?

From onesevensevensix.com:

After a cease & desist put the breaks on Amplive’s Radiohead In Rainbows remix project, the online music community reasonably wondered if the tracks would ever see the light of day. Well, here they are.

While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publicly available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. Effective immediately, the eight-track record is now available.

Rainydayz Remixes is composed exclusively of source material pulled from In Rainbows, re-envisioned by Amplive and complimented by vocal work from Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, Codany Holiday, and Del The Funky Homosapien.

Tracklist:

01 Rainydayz
02 Video Tapez (ft. Del The Funky Homosapien)
03 Nudez (ft. Too $hort & MC Zumbi
of Zion I)
04 Weird Fishez
05 All I Need
06 15 Stepz (ft. Codany Holiday)
07 Reckonerz (ft. Chali2na)
08 Faustz

What the press have had to say about this project:

“The Bay Area producer (Akon, Talib Kweli)/half of Zion I has scrapped together a project dubbed Rainydayz Remixes, culling six IR cuts and chopping ‘em up, spiking the punch with varying degrees of embellishments. “Weird Fishes” stays true to the original’s arc — one groove, one progression; slowly grooving, slowly progressing — spiced up with a fake finish, some Thom tinkering and a Radiohead-meets-Neptunes-enhanced-JT beat. Ain’t nobody love you like I love you, etc.” - Stereogum

“Wow. California MC Amplive slices and dices a (let’s face it, kind of bloodless) new Radiohead song and turns it into a sleek and simmering hip-hop track. If more of In Rainbows sounded like this, we might not feel so chapped about shelling out for the discbox.” - Rollingstone.com

“Why can’t hip-hop and indie rock values segue together as gracefully, as artfully, as Oakland DJ-producer Amplive’s trip-hop–tinged remix of “Nude,” a suturing together of his group Zion I’s “Don’t Lose Ya Head” and Radiohead’s ethereal hum, with classic Yay touches of Too $hort?” - SF Bay Guardian

“Rainydaze Remixes is most effective when it is at its boldest, accelerating the dreary original of ‘All I Need’ into hard-nosed trip hop punctuated by stabbing brass, or transforming ‘Weird Fishes’ into a gentle drift downstream.” - Guardian UK

“One standout track from the project is “Weird Fishes,” which Amplive has transformed from a synthesizer-and-guitar odyssey into an ominous electro-trance expedition. Some other strong tracks feature guests: The pimp-rap specialist Too $hort enlivens a bass-boosted “Nude,” and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien triples the verbiage on “Videotape.”" - New York Times
