MSTRKRFT, B-B-ROOTS, AND MORE!

In honor of the show im going to see along with Robface and others next friday, Im going to post a boatload of goodies. MSTRKRFT is headlining the show, and they should be. With a new album in the works slated for an early '08 release, im anticipating hearing some new tracks. They already dropped VUVUVU at a show, so who knows what theyll bring to an anxious NYC crowd. Here are a couple remixes and tracks off their album, The Looks.

The blood beetroots are a supporting dj at this show, but I might be anticipating their set more than mstrkrft. These guys are absolutely insane and have some real bangers thatll make anyone. Here are a couple tracks from deez goys.

The other DJ's im not all that familiar with. Ive heard some LA riots stuff and its pretty good. If theyre playing with MSTRKRFT and the BBROOTS, they must be doing something right.

Welcome to Purple Haze

Back when the Diplomats rolled with winners (read: not Tony Yayo) there was a rapper named Cam’ron. He was the leader of the Dipset, spitting the illest and sharpest verses on any of the Harlem-based crew’s songs. His 2004-album “Purple Haze” may very well be viewed as the last great non-Jigga New York rap album. Chock-full of club bangers (“Girls”), fiery street anthems (“Shake,” “The Dope Man”) and a pair of modern classics, (“Harlem Streets,” “Down & Out”) the album features stellar production from some dude named "Kanye," Tha Heatmakerz and others.

            Sadly, this Cam’ron guy has fallen out of favor with the rest of Dipset, leading to a loss in both commercial and urban credibility for both parties. Once a foe of Jay-Z, Cam’ron is now relegated to “Where are they now??” status. Regardless, the brutally honest portrayl of the hustle, stream of consciousness flow and unabashed description of sexual escapades makes “Purple Haze” as timeless a rap album as anything to come out of post-Biggie New York not called “The Blueprint.”

Diizy

I was scrolling through solidgoldberger yet again, only to stumble upon a gem-a remix of Steely Dan's "Peg" done by an artist known as Diizy. I looked up the myspace of the artist and was surprised to see that the artist was relatively unknown. Here are two solid disco-house tracks from this guy. Be sure to check out this guys myspace as well to hear some of his other tracks.

Vintage

DJ Shadow is a renowned west coast DJ. His instrumental sample-based hip-hop beats have made him one of the most famous DJ's in the world. His 1996 Entroducing... album is one of the must-have for any electronica collectors. It is entirely sample based, and is the basis for many hip hop instrumental DJs today such as RJD2 and DJ Spooky. Here are a couple essentials off the album, but the whole album should be purchased and is a must have.

RMX TRX

Here are a couple remix tracks that are almost as nice as marissa miller's body. The only remixes that can rage as hard as her body are done by MSTRKRFT really. First up a nifty remix of the classic Joy Division tune, "Love Will Tear Us Apart", that puts a nice electro spin on the track. Following that up we have a remix of the pop classic "Way I Are" by the Crookers. And to top it all off a nice remix of the stones classic "You cant always get what you want" by Soulwax.

Le Knight Club

Le Knight club is a side project of Guy-Man's (half of Daft mutha-fuckin' Punk). He teamed up with Éric Chedeville of Pumpkin records to release a couple vinyls under the illustrious Crydamoure label. Both Crydamoure (Guy-Man) and Roule (Tommy bangalter) revert to more primitive disco house sounds that sound like a lot of the earliest recording of daft punk. If you like this sound, definitely check out solidgoldberger, as they have a ridiculous amount of great disco house and almost all the Roule and Crydamoure releases. The site is really phenominal once you dig into it. Here are a couple tracks from LKC i downloaded off of the site.
