Mr. Hudson Tells Us Not To Be Paranoid

I first spoke about Mr. Hudson, who is the newest artist Kanye West is mentoring a few weeks ago. Here is Mr. Hudson's video of "Paranoid" off his debut album Straight No Chaser. The sexy Rihanna, does some interpretive dancing and suggestive theater in this video that just showed up on Mr. World Premiere after it was actually world premiered at the Def Jam Spring Preview and then officially world premiered all over the internet. Good video and definately worth it...

Big and Bashy

Via The Fader comes this exclusive mix by Dutty Artz co-founder Matt Shadetek titled "Dutty Artz Blend".

"It is nuyorcentric, psychotropical and heavily dosed with the voice and production of Gize "77Klash" Burrowes, who has often had his name invoked in Ghetto Palms but has been underrepresented sonically. It arrived in my inbox with this note: File under BK bashment, sub-soca, dutty house, roots and future, waking up the neighbors. Go crazy." (Matt’s comments follow the track-listing after the jump)


Matt Shadetek - Dutty Artz Blend Matt Shadetek’s Dutty Artz Blend:
1. Dotstar, "Stick Up" (Dutty Artz Dub)
2. Father Bookie, "Mi Name" (Matt Shadetek Tropical Rmx)
3. Kingdom, "Fogs"
4. Noble Society, "The Swarm"
5. 77Klash feat. Matt Shadetek, "Pressure"
6. Jahdan Blakkamoore, "Go Round Payola" (Matt Shadetek Bye Haters Rmx)
7. Marcus Visionary, "Big and Bashy"
8. Matt Shadetek, "Battery Charge"
9. Matt Shadetek, "Pure Riddim"
10. Jahdan Blakkamoore, "The General"
11. Beniton The Menace, "Recession"

"Stick Up Dub": This kid is busting up the LDN Funky scene right now with this tune. Geko (Jones) reached out and he cut this dub for us, love it.

"Mi Name" (Tropical Rmx): This one is brand new and exclusive to this mix. I took the acapella from Father Bookie's tune on 77Klash's Swarm Riddim and laid it over this new dutty house riddim of mine. Add autotune and: boom!

“Fogs”: Brand new instrumental from Kingdom, exclusive and unreleased. This guy is one of my favorite new producers in NYC.

"The Swarm": Big bad BK bashment from Jahdan and the Noble fam over 77Klash's Swarm Riddim. Love this one.

“Pressure”: New tune produced by me with Klash on vox in shouting mode. Moshpit dancehall.

“Go Round Payola” (Shadetek Remix): This is a quick remix I did of a tune that I produced for Jahdan's We Are Raiders

“Big and Bashy”: MADNESS from Toronto's Visionary, also unreleased as far as I know. He's been doing these really crazy 4x4 140 bpm tunes with a heavy rave vibe, we've been calling it sub-soca over here.

“Battery Charge”: New dutty/grime house from me, made this one while teaching logic at dubspot.

“Pure Riddim”: This one is on Jahdan's We Are Raiders EP as an instrumental and a vocal version on his forthcoming album Buzzrock Warrior.

“The General”: Produced by me and Liondub this is from Buzzrock Warrior as well, out on 12-inch now.

“Recession”: Found out about this guy through Skerrit Bwoy playing his specials. Killer new New York artist. Read more

In The Mix With Sticky K

Another debut on Switch's Dubsided label coming from newly signed California producer Sticky K's cracking Bandari Funk EP drops. It's been a while since the last Dubsided release, but Sticky K's 3 tracker is certainly worth it and you can grab it on iTunes.

Starting off the EP with the rinsing fidget and Ludacris sampling sounds of the geniusly named "The Testament Of Doctor Mabuse". We move on to the even heavier monster synth assault title track itself, coming on like The Bloody Beetroots fighting in a pub car park with Fake Blood, this is definately not for the faint of heart! Final track "Alphaville" is an ultra-anthemic and ultra-euphoric banger which reminds a little of the previous Nadastrom release on Dubsided. Big things here.

Sticky K - "Bandari Funk"

Preview these two:
Sticky K - The Testament Of Dr. Mabuse

Backstage Pass With Deadmau5

Deadmau5 is conquering the dance stratosphere one cheese board at a time.
Last month he took over the normally indie associated Electric Ballroom in Camden where he filled the 700 odd capacity venue on a Wednesday night. Mixmag was there, as were this film crew who captured the night for those who couldn't make the school night special. Deadmau5 also explains how he got his name and the significance of the spelling. via Mix Mag

80s Italo-Boogie Throwback

German producer and legendary DJ Friction graces us with this on point selection of tracks from the italo-side of early 80s boogie. In terms of its lifespan, Italo Disco somewhat quickly morphed into the High NRG cheese sound, but in its first several years it seemed to take more influence from American R&B than synthy Euro-Pop. I like to call this early incarnation (roughly 1980-1982), Italo Boogie. The ubiquitous studio group Kano (which is credited for first ushering in the italo sound) had its finest moment in 1981 with "Don't Try To Stop Me" from their second LP entitled New York Cake. Boeing dropped only one 12" in their very short career, 1982's "Dance on the Beat". Both tracks are strong examples of Italo Boogie steeped in the disco-funk sounds coming from across the Atlantic with a little added euro flavor.

Electronic Popstar Killers

I was completely blown away by Loo & Placido's new party mix Electronic Popstar Killers. Finding myself god damn speechless I had to take a moment to get my shit together before writing about this one...

Put yo mutha f***ing hands up for the Loo & Plaido mix featuring two hours and 42 exclusive mash-ups, remixes, edits and covers utterly smashing today's hottest Electro, Rave, Fidget and Ghetto Bangers with some of the greatest Rock, Hip-Hop, Disco and Punk hits (all done by themselves) ever, EVERRRRRR !

This masked duo hails from Paris, France and have been dj’ing and mashing up tracks since 1999. I know mash-ups are under media scrutency but they blow the competition away with this mix. Yeah I know, it's two hours and your thinking thats about an hour and a half too long for me and I don't have time for this bs (believe me I was on the same page). But when I listened to it, that time flew by and had me raising the volume bit by bit and pumping it all the time since it’s so f***ing good. And what really makes me glad with this mix, is that it contains so many freaking unexpected tracks that I wouldn’t dream of hearing in any kind of similar mixtapes.

Beastie Boys Get It In with The Roots

One of my favortie groups of alltime the, Beastie Boys, have been all over the place lately. In addition to headlining all the festivals, the guys are systematically re-releasing their discography this year, while also promising a new LP awesomely titled Hot Sauce Committee. Instead of the new, the Beasties used their Fallon appearance to plug their recent Check Your Head reissue by doing "So What'cha Want" with the The Roots at their back on Late NightJimmy Fallon May 25, 2009.

It's a logical choice as the album's signature song, but also offers a surreptitious tease to the future when MCA's all "cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce." The Beastie Boys continue their catalog-reissue parade with an Ill Communication release on July 14th (preorders start July 6 on beastieboys.com). For new sounds, stay tuned for the Hot Sauce Committee LP this September, or try "Lee Majors Come Again" right now.

Movin' to the Groove in Detroit

Connecting the world through the power of dance, music lovers gather in Detroit's Hart Plaza on the Detroit River for their annual Dance & Electronic Music Festival(DEMF). Presenting the definitive global experience of dance and electronic music, art, technology and culture in the famed birth place of techno music DETROIT CITY(many argue that). DEMF generated one million in attendance and $94 million dollars in direct economic impact for its host city annually during its first three years of exceptional production. In hard economic times you can not appreciate that. Sorry to say that the Movement 2009 went down last weekend...via JoeyVision at Current.
