Greensbridge to Outerspace

I really can't stomach most mixtapes. Too unfocused, the music suffers, shouting, incomplete songs. But there are a few exceptions. One being DJ Swindle's Almatic (Al Green vs. Nas). Second being the locksmith Outskirts Outkast remixes. Go to town.






Outkast - Outskirts (DJ Jamad & Locksmith Remixes)

Amen.Hootie Hoo

Manifesto

This Saul Williams -List Of Demands- track I heard in a Nike ad. Love it. Love it.

Discover Saul Williams!

Love the beat and the splatter-brain manifesto. Here is the TV spot and the video and everything else you demand.

A Couple of Cunnin' Fellas.


A couple old tracks for sure, but the KNO (of cunnin'linguists fame) mixtape of Jay-Z's The Black Album was largely passed over. Mostly due to the DangerMouse Jay-Z/Beatles concept mash-up of the same album. But here are 2 of the tracks. Actually the whole thing is worth tracking down....

99 Problems-Jay-Z(KNO vs. HOV remix)

Dirt Off Your Shoulder-Jay-Z (KNO vs. HOV remix)

I wanna take you out..

This is a little late but I am playing catch up to post my semi-recent favs. This band is from N.Z and they were recently signed to the DFA label. This song is very slick...as is the video.

The End of the World-Shocking Pinks


Here also is the Cutout remix from their Emily EP.

Heavy Hitters

Here are four songs that just haunt me everytime I hear them. The videos are not mine but I feel they all do some justice to the trax.

Raising the Titanic-Aphex Twin




Archangel-Burial




The Birth and the Death of the Day-Explosions in the Sky




Heaven-Health


Wow...spent.

Kid Chocolate


Came across this gem after hearing it a few years ago on the Saturday Night Fish Fry comp from a London label.
After a decent streak as a boxer named Kid Chocolate, Lee Dorsey recorded some pretty underrated funk bombs. This one gets me every time...

Dance Lessons


I can't get enough of this Twelves remix of Black Kids hit.

Go ahead...listen to it just once. I dare you...
