First On This: Radioclit

Franki Chan preaching the gospel back at the hotel post-show.

Super-cool Swede, Johan from Radioclit, just sent me, and i'm assuming everyone else he met here on this past tour of theirs, an email w/ a bunch of new goodness.

When we met at Money Shot last Thursday (which was super-slammed!), he reminded/told me that we had met while I was on the road w/ Maya -- but you know how 'that' goes.  Regardless, after talking to him for a good deal of time before the show; he pretty much confirmed my long-standing belief that Swedes (probably, all Scandinavians in general as well), are the best people in the world.

Also, not being all that familiar w/ their work until that night, I was really into what they were doing --- a heavily traditional African-influenced hybrid of then-and-now.


Heres a vid of them working in the studio spliced w/ other ish:




And then, via YouSendIt, you can get their single "Secousse", as well as all of the remixes so far for the track.  Including efforts by Crookers, Mumdance, Qoso, and Bablee!

Jag Lskar Dig!

p.s. We got our 1st(?) first; what's up now Hype Machine!?!  Jake, make it happen!

Winter Music Conference - SUNDAY


One More Day Family Reunion (vol. 17) is going down during Conference.  

Of course, after most WMC-attendees begin to call it a wrap(also known as wet blankets), its only natural OMD throws a party .  Expect any of our family thats in town to drop by.  I know its A-Trak's b-day that night.  It's also Craze's last night in Miami for a long while so I know he's coming through.  I probably shouldn't really blow up everyone else's schedule; but expect some very special guests!!!  

Written up in the latest Flavorpill.

Party's gon be @ Purdy Lounge, and its FREE!!!!!  
[*Note: For WMC badge holders it's $20 and -2 guestlist(you and 2 friends leave)].  

$2.50/beer.  You can try to beat it, but you'll fail.
  
For those not from Miami - this is the best weekly party in Miami, hands-down!  Infuse that with a roster of invite-only OMD DJ's/Artists/Family, and you've got a Nick Nolte vs. Gary Busey Stare-Down right before a Kurt Russell vs. Patrick Swayze Hair Shakedown!!(yes, THAT awesome).

There are also rumors of a national cash-prize arm-wrestling contest goin down.  More details TBA.

Steaming Disco Tune
Larry Wood - Pumping Iron (Dim's Edit)


Still playing down here:
DJ Khaled & 305 - Bitch I'm From Dade County

still bloggin

man, a good 24 hours later -- and i'm still bloggin. so impressed. usually i give up pretty quick on these kinds of 'projects'.


especially now that i'm doing edits etc. I'll come up w/ the idea; which is amazing. i'll maybe even put it into ableton; realizing that this is turning into a legitimate 'project'. then, if i'm lucky, i'll start setting up some markers.

and then, maybe after 10-20-30 minutes of marking up, slicing, redrawing this one audio file, i'll get so tired/bored that i've got to stop. and you know that whole notion of "picking up where you left off"? m'eh. overrated.

anyways, somehow i get some things done, sometimes. By "done" of course, i mean that I just stopped at an agreeable spot. So here are some "would've been something, but i'd rather move forward with not finishing other things" song-things.


First is a killer cover of the Temptations song "Cloud Nine" by Mongo Santamaria that I tempo'ed, extended, effect-ed, and otherwise worked with:


*Edit: Also, here's the OG Temptations song --- but the INSTRUMENTAL(well, its got some vocals on it)!

Second is my first mash/blend/edit thang from forever ago (like way before u got her leaked advance song). Franki Chan posted it up a while ago; a couple days later he posted an edit up that Franki & Jake did. I still believe that their edit beat out mine in downloads just cuz of franki's photo.

So here's my attempt at a 2nd wind. Thought process for this one was: Diplo(docus) = dinosaur. Maya = zany.
