Beam Me Up

2010-03-10T11:30:00.000-08:00

Rumor is that Nicki Minaj turned down appearing on the cover of XXL magazine for their "Freshman Cass of 2010" issue because she was somewhat insulted that 2010 was going to be defined as her "freshman year", like she just joined the game or something and was getting her big break to be on the cover.

That's patronizing to Minaj, and also to all of us who enjoyed her jackin' "Beam Me Up Scotty!" mixtape, and to everyone who on first listen knew very well that this girl was going to run tings.

Now it's 2010 and she's sharing the cover of The Fader with Yeasayer, a choice I much prefer to standing in a crowd with a bunch of dudes like Nipsy Hustle and... I don't even know, Wiz Khalifa? Feel happy knowing that 2010 will likely have better anthems from Minaj than a song that has a line that actually goes "Diddy Boppin / Let's get it poppin"... Geeez.

Some fierce voguing excellence from Awesome Tapes From Africa.

This is what your parents were doing while you were a baby, y'know.

Also, let's take a second to break down how forward thinking a lot of the fashion choices in this thang are. Take the woman at 0:45 for example - I very rarely see people pull off coordination and look so damn clean while doing it. Same goes for the juking gentleman following her.

Everyone who's into throwing on so many different colours that they look like the hangover shit of a unicorn, please reform your style accordingly.

Still can't say that I'm feeling the dress shirt & jean jacket combination that comes later on though. No thanks guys.

(Cough, keep in mind that you're reading "fashion advice" from an often sub-par dressed white dude from the burbs...)

Fatboy Slim & David Byrne "Dancing Together"
ft. Sharon Jones

David Byrne has, once again, updated his colorful website with new streaming music off his latest collaborative project with Fatboy Slim, a concept album about the life of the first Lady of the Phillipines, Imelda Marcos.

On this latest track, the duo recruited vocal powerhouse Sharon Jones to portray Lady Marcos in the telling of the story when “Imelda takes her first trip abroad as first lady and has a great time. She hangs out with celebrities, socialites, and old East Coast money,” as Byrne puts it.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings "I Learned The Hard Way"

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings will be releasing a new album, I Learned the Hard Way, on April 6th and they are giving away the album’s title track for your listening pleasure.

Like most of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ increasingly impressive and consistent body of work, “I Learned The Hard Way” finds a unique and special way to combine huge horns and Sharon Jones’ massive voice with one of R&B and soul’s most discussed topics, without making it sound redundant.

Quadron "Pressure"

There’s something… something to be said about the sense of recognition and knowing you sometimes experience when listening to a song for the first time. While rock critics and music bloggers laud and yearn for the unknown, the innovative and cutting edge, the sense of instant relate-ability and reliability is often taken for granted, or worse yet, mistaken for convention and derivation. Just wanted to plant that little seed in your brain before introducing you to this sweet, sweet winter gem.

With bass lines reminiscent of those reinforcing tracks sung by a Knowles sister and a voice delicate enough to draw Lykke Li comparisons and commanding enough to draw Chrisette Michele comparisons, Denmark’s Quadron fell from the sky sounding like an eclectic mix of the songstresses that allow me to sleep soundly at night. Their self-titled debut album was released to iTunes on January 26th. The album will be out March 23rd everywhere else. Here's the video to my favorite song off their album so far:

Band Of Skulls

2010-02-21T16:12:00.003-08:00

Band of Skulls - I Know What I Am from Shangri-La Music on Vimeo.

Who: Band of Skulls, a British trio whose shit-kicking, bare-bones brand of gritty rock & roll earned them a spot on the Twilight movie, New Moon.

Sounds Like: White Stripes fans will dig Band of Skulls’ swampy, heavily blues-influenced jams, especially the psychedelic stomp of “Light of the Morning” and the hard-charging “I Know What I Am.” But these guys aren’t just blues-rock formalists: they occasionally veer into complex prog-rock territory on tracks like the sprawling, appropriately-titled “Impossible.” “That song was definitely a breakthrough for us,” says singer-guitarist Russell Marsden. “We realized we can make a wider, more epic version of our sound. [Drummer] Matt [Hayward] came up with the guitar hook, this lovely and complex finger-picking pattern. But I just dumbed it down.”

Vital Stats:

• Singer-bassist Emma Richardson is a obsessive record collector — she’s amassed thousands of albums over the years. “I have a big old wall full of them,” she says. “Even thought it’s not in any order, I know where everything is.” Favorite album? Tom Waits 2004 LP Real Gone. “I listen to it at least once a week,” she says. “It kicks ass.”

• Band of Skulls cut their debut, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, at Radiohead’s old studio in Oxfordshire, which was a huge thrill for the band — even if Radiohead only use it as a storage space nowadays. “They just keep their awards and gold records there,” says Marsden. “But it was still inspiring for us to be around the stuff of our favorite band from Britain.”

• Band of Skulls were shocked to hear that Twilight producers wanted to include the track “Friends” on the soundtrack to the movie, alongside heavy-hitters like Death Cab for Cutie, Thom Yorke and the Killers. And not because it would offer them huge exposure — the song that’s included is a rough-hewn cut they didn’t intend to send out. “When we sent out this CD, it had this extra song on it from our sessions, which we were unaware of,” says Marsden. “And they came back to use and asked for that track and we were like, ‘How the hell did they have it?’”

In an attempt to do whatever it takes to win the mayoral campaign for smoke town Brad Higham aka Ready Set is taking it the web (which is like the new 'streets'). Beginning with a highly publicized campaign poster on www.somepicturesofmyfriends.blogspot.com and now releasing his candidacy mix on Jerk Slow / Move Fast (follow the link above)... one can only wonder how many cigarettes Luke Sheldrick will have to smoke to keep Mr. Ready Set off his sassy little heels... I guess only time will reveal who will win this battle of the titans.

Alexander McQueen

2010-02-12T15:08:00.001-08:00

"The news that Alexander McQueen has killed himself is particularly devastating because it always felt to me like he’d be the last man standing. He was restless, but so pragmatic with it I assumed he had what it took to endure the extreme situations he placed himself in. He was also an arch romantic with a pessimistic streak. It produced some of the most beautiful, shocking images in the history of fashion, but it’s a state of mind that can lead to endless disappointments. The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die."

No Longer about 'Music'

2010-02-12T13:28:00.000-08:00

MTV changed its logo for the first time in roughly 30 years on Monday.

It was a minor change with major symbolism. The network -- known more for its scripted reality show programming these days than the music videos and industry it revolutionized -- dropped the “Music Television” tagline from the Frank Olinsky-designed original.

With the new look, MTV had those “Jersey Shore”-watching millennials in mind. Via the press release:

“It represents a new visually defined MTV, stimulating its past, present and future and embracing its diversity. Everything from Jersey Shore, to the VMAs to collaborations with the MoMA. The logo is part of MTV’s re-invention to connect with today’s millennial generation and bring them in as part of the channel.”

And with that, “Music Television” can officially rest in peace.

Hatiras Interview

2010-02-01T14:34:00.000-08:00

We recently had the opportunity to interview Hatiras, leading up to his show in Guelph, to talk about topics such as fashion, vinyl and touring . The night itself exceeded my expectations with an impressive roster of openers, majestic lights and non stop ravers! Hatiras + Fiance were absolute charmers and down to earth. It was a privilege to meet both and if you ever get a chance to go see him, don't miss the opportunity. For more pics from the night check out Fresh Media's Site.

1) I noticed your bright frames have become your go to fashion accessory and trademark as of late. How did this relationship develop?

Haha that’s funny. Well I never really thought of them as a trademark but I have worn them on a few occasions at shows in Guelph, Japan and Burning Man. Maybe they should become a trademark...
The whole sunglasses thing, which I will not take complete credit for, came to me when my fiancee and I started a strong friendship with a crew of magical Newfoundlanders that ride unicorns, live under a neon rainbow in a colored house and worship a massive Christmas tree - except that it isn’t a Christmas tree - and they don’t really “worship” it - nonetheless, it’s a tree decorated with 100’s rare and colorful sunglasses. Through this friendship I was allowed to pluck a few pairs of sunglasses from the tree - and then inspired to commence my very own collection of cheap, cheesy yet magical shades. Hence the yellow and black frameless pair you speak of.

2) When I first started listening to your mixes I did a little research and found out that you’ve been involved with house music pretty much your whole life. More specifically I always found it interesting how you used to be a rave promoter/host/MC. How did this background influence your career as a DJ?

To be honest I started as a DJ first. I was twelve, and I recorded music from the radio onto my boombox double tape deck - of course this was in the 80s when house music was in its infancy. I passed the tapes along to friends, family and the occasional stranger. Soon I was known as the handsome little kid who was a little too obsessive about spreading electronic music.

Years later I decided to throw my own parties. My rave company was called Liquid Adrenaline and it grew to attract thousands at each event. I did this to spread my love for the music even further. Eventually, due to years of chronic exposure to the music I caught a disease called making-music-itis. After releasing a few singles on Chicago based International House Records (IHR) I decided I was ready to play my own music to a crowd. So I started out by doing live performances at my own events, as well as at smaller shows nearby. This generally consisted of trucking my entire studio into a venue and working with analog equipment on the fly.
Soon after, I was lucky enough in that my third record was a massive international hit (“Spaced Invader”). At that time, the requests to tour globally came pouring in so fervently that I decided to make DJing and producing my number one priority. I continued to throw events for a couple more years but things got really tough with promoting in the early 2000s that I decided to finally pack up my promoters hat and move full steam ahead with DJing and producing. I haven’t looked back since.

3) When considering your role as one of Canada’s premiere DJs and the owner of two record labels, you have no doubt benefited from ‘electro’s’ rise in popularity. Although house and electronic music have always had a loyal following on a smaller scale, it has now garnered mainstream recognition in North America and become a source of inspiration for a great deal of Top 40 acts. Why do you think house / electronic music is finally enjoying such unprecedented success in North America?

House and electronic music have always been popular to those in the know. But, before the Internet, the massive labels would invest money in flashy videos and well-groomed boy bands to confuse the youth into believing that the music they were selling was good. Now, with the rise of the Internet, music has become democratized again. People have access to listen to the music they truly like, and not only to the music they are fed. The statistics online are undeniable. People flock to places like Beatport to buy the latest electronic beats. Youtube videos of electronic music are everywhere. DJs all over the world are posting their mixes online. The major labels are recognizing this undeniable momentum and, many of them are changing their strategies to try to tap into that market by hiring underground DJ/producers to make beats for their pop acts. To a degree, it is exposing the music to a larger audience. But, as usual, the pop world is generally well behind the fast evolving, cutting edge underground.

4) MC Flipside has made a name for himself both as a ‘hip-house’ MC [ala his ‘Hi Friend’ collaboration with Deadmau5] and a DJ in his own right. When playing with Flipside onstage, do you aim to create a more old-school drum and bass vibe or simply approach it as two DJs joining forces and take from there?

I’ve known MC Flipside for over 15 years now. Strangely enough, growing up mostly in Toronto we both have very similar influences in music. We both appreciate drum & bass, classic house, soulful garage and nasty electro. Because of that, working with him isn’t really work. We have an absolute blast on stage together and the crowd feels that. We don’t need to plan things - we may take turns DJing, he may be on the mic most of the time, heck, I may even get on the mic. The best description of what one of our shows together is like would be: a voyage of chaotic happiness (with flawless mixing, programming and lyricism of course) ;)

5) Due to the technology associated with DJing that has been developed over the past decade, collecting vinyl is no longer an occupational necessity. In response to this trend, have you started buying records more suitable for personal enjoyment?

I no longer purchase vinyl to DJ with. But I will occasionally hunt for old and rare vinyl to either draw inspiration from, or, to steal a few samples from (which I would then mangle and mutate in the studio so much that nobody would even know where it’s from). I do most of my DJ shopping at Beatport and check all the charts, as well as follow producers I like. I also play quite a lot of my own material and receive more promos and demos per day than I know what to do with. In terms of recent playlists - I just delved back into listening to Daft Punk’s classic “Homework” album. I think that a lot of those funky, disco-ey yet bangin’ sounds are going to be big again in 2010.

6) What’s your average annual touring schedule composed of as an internationally renowned House DJ?

Some DJs boast about doing 300 shows a year. That may work for them, but to me, that would cause a massive imbalance in my life. I like to pick and choose my shows and balance between touring, producing music, playing video games, bumming around, hanging with friends and family and catering to my cat. My schedule is hectic enough as it is doing anywhere from 3-8 shows a month. Any more and it starts to get really unhealthy for me. I love doing what I do, but I want to live well into my old age as well. In terms of favorite spots: well, recently I’ve noticed a really great, up and coming vibe in places like Texas (Mcallen, Laredo, El Paso, etc.), Newfoundland and Guelph. Other cities like Tokyo, Toronto, Los Angeles, etc. are already quite established but there is something special about a city where the scene is just exploding.

Make sure to keep posted with all of my music releases, weekly radio show, upcoming tour dates and tour galleries at Hatiras.com - thanks for the love :)

Dubstep Allstars at it Again....

2010-01-22T17:45:00.000-08:00

Article Courtesy of the Binge's Tom Jenkins;

Along with hyperdub, tempa have been at the forefront of the dubstep scene for a good few years now, releasing some classic albums by Headhunter and Benga along the way. The Dubstep Allstar series have always attempted to push genre defining, forward thinking dubstep with mixes from some of the best in the scene (check out the last installment mixed by Applepips frontman Appleblim, for a taste of brilliant techno infused dubstep). For their 7th installment of the Dubstep Allstars mix series they've called on the talents of Chef and Hessel audio co-owner Ramadanman.

Along with Pangaea and Untold, Ramadanaman man's Hessel audio label have been releasing some of the most forward thinking techno and 2-step infused dubstep in recent memory, with a catalogue of releases including Pangaea's brilliant 'Router', Ramadanman's own percussive monster 'Blimey' and Untold's Anaconda/Kingdom, they've made quite an impact on the scene in the measly three or so years they've been around.

Given all of this I was interested to see what Ramadanman's hand would bring to the already exemplary compilation series and my feelings are mixed. His track selection is nothing short of brilliant, some great tracks, both released and unreleased, including bangers by James Blake, Untold, Peverelist, Pangaea and the man himself, but the mixing leaves a bit to be desired. It listen's like a club set and due to that it lacks refinement, leaving me feeling that maybe it did'nt do the caliber of the tracks included in the set justice, but regardless, its still a highly accomplished portrayal of the state of dubstep in 2009.

The Chef side of the mix gives us more of what we're used to, wobbling bass, half step rhythms, with some great released from the likes of Benga and Skream. Its more of a conventional display of dubstep but its equally effective and a great listen.

I said ‘Daddy I wanna be a rockstar,’ and he said ‘Go be a rockstar.’ So I figured it out. In downtown New York and really in New York everywhere, really in the world, you have the ability to self proclaim your own fame. You have the ability to experience and feel a certain amount of self worth that comes from a very vain place simply by your choices. Your opinions about fashion, your opinions about music, your opinions about politics. The way you walk down the street, the way you carry yourself at parties. You can literally choose to have fame.

Young Bran - Limb By Limb minimix

Soooo, we here at Gosh Damn have a pretty exciting month coming up. It was as if all of a sudden we were like "goddamn, there's twenty million exciting things happening in Guelph" - funnily enough, all of them happening after I decided to move to Toronto. There's a list of up and coming BIG things at the bottom of this blog, one of them being our brand new mixtape launch happening at the end of January. It's been in the works for a damn long time, and this time it'll be kind of like the last Jerkslow Movefast mixtape - myself, Part/Parcel and Fahecktic making a roughly 30 minute mix back to back. This was my first try, but I think I want to try all over again with new tracks.

How can I describe this mix? I'd say, start with a smattering of Afro-house, add some kazoos, 90s dancehall legend Cutty Ranks, some UK Hyperbass, the Hare Krishna chant, the Russian version of Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor", Horns, and a bit of Banjee hip hop where the chorus kinda sounds like an old Timberland joint before he got hooked on steroids. Enjoy!

Tracklisting
Esau Mwamwaya - Saga Africa Intro
Lazy Flow - Unknown
Wasted Youth Soundsystem Dubplate - HORNS UP
L-Vis 1990 - United Groove

Philly-bred rapper Amanda Blank first wowed me opening for Peaches at the Phoenix in Toronto. She hopped on stage wearing a flashy gold hooded poncho, to then strip to a sexy fluro-animal print one piece. Although Amanda’s fashion sense totally scored her some points, her on-stage energy and upbeat tracks really won me over. The hip-hop/electro babe was previously on tour opening for Santogold and Karen O, but currently ending her solo tour in Australia. She released her first solo album “I Love You” July 2009. It's a party packed CD that has has beatz from Diplo and Switch and features Lykke Li, Spank Rock and Chuck Inglish. All in all, the album is a hit. Very versatile. Amanda can sing, rap, write and perform. On top of her solo work she also sings in an indie/rock band called the “Sweathearts”.

Blank is on the rise so keep an eye out for this chick cause I'm sure her vibe is gonna get to you.

Oh wow. If you own an Iphone you have to get this. L5 Technology introduced an accessory and free app that turns any iPhone or iPod touch into a universal remote control. It's comprised of a small hardware device that plugs into an iPhone or iPod touch dock connector and a free app to be available from the iTunes App Store. The accessory works without batteries and will control any number of devices within about 30 feet, according to the manufacturer. It doesn’t require independent batteries, Wi-Fi or external power to function. More Info [flylyf]

Also, The Swing Your Energy Charger by Song Teaho & Hyejin Lee is a recent invention that allows you to insert your cellphone battery into a device and with a few good spins around your index finger you have enough power to chat for little longer or at least get you to a charger. If this doesn't run for an obscene price, it just might work. Source
