Dead Prez // Hip Hop [Diplo Remix]

Self-explanatory. Diplo tackles yet another Hip Hop classic, and actually do justice to the original work. More often than not, you run the risk of these kinds of reworks being absolutely awful. From something as basic as the vocal not being in time, to a colossal failure where it's freaking sacrilegious to think they would've gotten away with it.

Lucky for us, and for Diplo, this is certainly not the latter. I'd venture to say that this is probably has something to do with Scion, if it isn't an out-right bootleg.

WMC 2008 Dates Announced

img//ericbphoto

There it is, March 25-29, 2008 -- Winter Music Conference -- Miami Beach Resort & Spa. This is annual jump-off, and it's going to be massive again this year. I've attended every year since '99 and this one will be no different. It'll be great to see everyone again and be able to catch up with those you only see once or a few times a year. It's a great week. If you haven't been, I highly suggest experiencing it at least once.

FloridaDNB.com is usually the best place for you to get information from the locals for almost anything. From event info, to hotels, food, dates, anything. You can usually find an answer to whatever you're looking for in the WMC 2008 sub-forum. Be sure to check the WMC 2007 discussion to see what you missed, and get up on the 2008 business.

Worship Ludachrist

From the demented minds of Evol Intent's own Knick and co-conspirator Ewun comes the ridiculous side project known as Ludachrist. Holy crap, is this first thing that came to mind when I first heard this. It's an absolute mind fuck in a mash-up styleee. It's crunk, ghetto, hype, bangin', dope, innovative, and any other creative adjectives you can think of. They just took the mash-up to some next shit.

It's that good.

Check the shit out, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's tight work. Just when you think they took it there, they switch it up on you and take it somewhere else.

This would be great for a listening party somewhere if it wasn't live. It'd bust the roof off. No question this is going on rotation in the vehiculars. Absolute madness.

Hervé's Beats Pump, And I'm With That.

I tend to like my house fatter and chunkier than most. I'm picky, but my zone is right when it starts chugging. You know, when you can just hear the compressors working like hell and something (or everything) is sidechained to the kick, so you get that pumping effect. It add a whole different dynamic to the piece and people really pick up on that--even if they don't recognize it.

If that's you as well... Listen to Hervé.



I put the accent because, damnit, if my name had an accent, I'd want it there too. Spell my name right, bitches.

I'm Latin. I can relate.

I've been listening more and more lately, but here are some of my favorites so far. I found him randomly while I was digging for another artist. He does work not only as Hervé, but as The Count of Monte Cristal (with Sinden) and about 3 other pseudos. Nonetheless... fat, funkin', chuggin' house. Dig it.

Shout to Palms Out Sounds.

Larry T feat Princess Superstar - Licky (Hervé Goes Low Rmx)

Ontop of the fact that it's fat and chunky at the first break, on the second break it busts out the FlowMaster synth for the old school effect. I like it, a lot.

NY Pony Club - Ice Cream (Hervé Goes Bananas Rmx)

For some reason, aside from Hervé's nasty, I radiated to this track and it stuck. I think that Watchu Want line is in a commercial. Perhaps off the original. Still, that synth and b-line on this remix will obliterate a floor. I like the amen that comes in on the second break. Amens sound nice in house music. Producers should use them more. Yes, I said it. What?

-You Want Watchu Watchu Want

Baltimore Club, BOUNCE.

Always on the cusp of something new, my boy Shawn Livewire who's posted up in the Far East hits us off with another slamming mix of some FRESH vibes currently busting up the circuit. Baltimore Club is like ghetto house's hot but slutty sister, and I lurve that skeeza.

She acts like she's all classy, but when it comes down to it, she knows. While the genre is primarily based on House, lately the genre has moved more towards a newer form of Hip Hop. Baltimore Club is to House what the Hyphy and Krump movement are to Hip Hop.
