I Met You In The Forest

The video for These Are Powers song "Easy Answers" was jointly inspired by the annual Ghost Festival held every August in China and the Chinese folkloric tradition of burning joss paper after the death of a relative or loved one. Joss paper has long been burned ceremoniously as an offering to the dead, representing all of the worldly goods that spirits may desire in the afterlife, including intricately detailed miniature paper replicas of mansions, BMW convertibles, laptop computers, karaoke VCRs, and large denomination hell bank notes or ghost money. Once burned, these items are believed to join the deceased loved ones in heaven, and for lost spirits who still roam the land of the living, small paper boats and lanterns are bought and released, which signifies giving direction to these restless ancestors.

1983 Throwback

"I'm Going To Go" by Jago is a synth masterpiece. The simple yet effective bass line stands out in front as the rest of the song grows around it. It's not a terribly complex song, each piece has its moment to shine and then sort of ducks back into the arrangement. What it is for me is just a wonderful display of melody and structure that really grooves on the dance floor. I prefer the instrumental to the vocal, which I feel is less over the top Italo. The 12" recorded here was released in 1983 on Full Time Records.

Bass Weazal

Bass Weazel are back with some of their fun-filled remixes, determined to fill the dance-floor with friendly clubbers who recognize the tunes from the charts but still love the bassinyerface…think the Mylo rework is the favorite of these two, but still can’t beat the sheer good memories that the Arctic Monkeys always bring to the table. Plus the Weazal remix morphs the track into a right and proper funky summer melody, perfect for livening up some Sunday afternoon partying. via Noise Porn

Fool's Gold Records Presents: Rappin' Ass Thursdays

Every Thursday Fool's Gold, and this week they hit us up new Bone Thugs & Harmony, TI, Camp Lo, Killer Mike, DJ Deadeye and Friends, Bounceback, and - just because - a dancehall song.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - My Dolla Bills
(Not exactly what I expect from a Bone reunion but still am a loyal fan.)

TI - Make You Sweat
(Sped-up Led Zeppelin over an electro rap beat that sounds like A-Trak’s mastered "Mastered”. It's short but sweat, I'll be banging this out the speakaaaaaaaas.)

Camp Lo - Summer Love
(Using the Sylvia Striplin sample from Junior Mafia “Get Money” is totally cheating, but fuck it, this jams. Another one from Apple Juice Kid, this time teamed up with longtime Lo producer Ski under their Smokin Apples moniker.)

DJ Dead Eye f. Tony Touch, Termanology, and Easy Money - Wild Puerto Ricans
(For the Spanish mami's)

Killer Mike f. Big Kuntry King - I’m A Fool Wit It
(I'ma I'ma FOOOOOL wit it, can definately bounce to this shiii)

Bounceback - Does It Real Good
(Sippin' and that troof juice because it's just off - beat and vocals mixed all crazy, mumbled accents and hi-hat rolls clattering around all over the place. “I’m feelin futuristic, bitch.” This has lazers on it.)

Chino - Smoking The Gradez
(The brothers McGregor (Daniel “Chino” and supaproducer Stephen “Di Genius”) team up on some chopped-up bossanova.)
