So sad about Michael.  Here's a song by a friend of mine, an exuberant acid stomper with a sawtooth lead to get you ready for summer.

Laberge

I haven't posted much new stuff lately cos I was studying for an exam, which I completed last Saturday.  Other than that, I haven't really heard much music that's knocking my socks off so I've kind of been listening to the same stuff over and over.  I just don't want to listen to any kind of cheesy shit anymore and I'm clamoring for some real hip hop.  Can't wait to see Doom in all his lip synching glory this summer at Pitchfork.  And I'm kind of thinking of raiding my old CD library and pulling up some 90s house classics that I forgot about.  But until then I have one fantastic song for you, Vancouver's own Laberge with "Neon Disco".  This gives me hope.

I just heard the new Alan Braxe

Ever since I heard Alan Braxe's remix of Benjamin Diamond's "In Your Arms"

.

...I knew Mssr. Quême had some serious game.  

.

.

And now after seeing him DJ two times and hearing his new remix of Fenech-Soler's "The Cult of Romance"discodust_got_the_goods I'm willing to go out on a limb and say he might be the most talented French producer not named Guy or Tom.  

.

.

I just really like him.

.

So anyways, check this out - it's a remix of J-Kwon's Tipsy by Party Time 2000.  I can't stop listenin' to it!!

Arajay: The Saga Continues

I'm on some pretty thin ice here.

.

Here I am, just a week after receiving a rebuke from the DMCA, once again posting illegal copyrighted material.

.

What am I doing?

.

I don't have express written consent of Damp Heat to post this. I don't even have oral. Dude's gonna get his lawyers to put a cap in my a**!

.

[Editor's Note: anti DMCA rant edited for space]

.

.

Here's a remix that hopefully won't get taken down by the Gestapo, by Arajay. It is simply catchy as all hell, and you probably won't be able to get it out of your head for weeks. There should be a warning label!

.

Arajay, pictured above, is an emerging talent coming out of the damp New Orleans heat with beats that do not politely ask you to boogie, they demand it. Sorry ladies, he's taken. As with many successful music producers, Arajay is also a graphic designer by day and has a large portfolio that you can examine @ arajay dot com, as well as many other goodies to check out.

.

Honestly I didn't know what to think about this song the first time I heard it, kind of like a confused white boy on the dance floor when the music starts. Then my head started a'bobbin', I start singing the chorus ("Shreveport's crappy, Shreveport's crappy"), and now I have anointed it as the dirty party jam for which I've been clamoring. Now that's what I call a filthy bass line.

Party Time 2000

I don't know who this guy is.

Party Time 2000 is a Chicago-based producer hailing from my former Northside neighborhood of Rogers Park.

.

Pratt & Sheridan, Kenmore and Granville, and Howard Street and Damen, where I grew up, yea boy! Keep your head down,don't make eye contact, and respect the blue cameras up in that piece.

.

How does this end up in my mail box? It's really good!

.

As this is a small blog and I don't even imagine many people read it, I am always surprised and pleased to get mail. So I get like one reader submission a week, which isn't much, but the crazy thing is that half of them are ridiculously amazing. I always open them thinking it's going to be crap, but whoa is me, it hardly ever is. Case in point, Leonardus EP from last week. Shoot, I'm going to put Womanizer on right now, that sucker is so good and crisp it blows my mind every time I listen to it.

.

Which leads right up to my point. I only received one submission this week, and tada, it is freakin unreal. I don't know what I did to deserve these jams, but sure enough they are amazing. At first, I looks at the track list and I'm like hmmm, I bet I know how this is gonna sound and it's probably gonna be like every other blog jam out there, but how pleased I was to discover a finely woven tapestry of sparkling pretty party jams. Right off the bat, the mix starts up with an on point mix of Devin The Dude with just a gorgeous analog squiggle in the background over Devin's rhymes. I love how it's not super duper up tempo and is not forcefully demanding me to get up and shimmy, the sound encourages me to shimmy yet does not mandate the shimmy. And the Lil' Wayne remix? Freakin' gorgeous. best Lil' Wayne remix I have heard in my entire life. I cannot believe how delicate and heartfelt it is, just a spine tingler and prettier than physics should allow Lil' Wayne's voice to be sampled. Then the remix of Drowning Pool and Peg Roussel? I don't even know who or what that is but I know I want more.

.

So in closing, Party Time 2000, your systems are clearly much more advanced than mine and I only hope that you continue to share your technology with the rest of us.

.

First Rainbo Video and now this....

If you are from another town, please bring a bucket of water because once again Chi is on fire!

Leonardus

I have nothing to say about this but "Wowsers". This is some of the most fantastic filtered house music I have heard thus far in 2009. Leonardus, I kneel in your presence as you are clearly on the next level and my only wish is that you continue to send me every song, jingle, mix, track, beat, rap, rhyme, or noise that you produce going forward. If you preside over a hootenanny and do the patter call, please send me the audio extract of that as well.

.

By the way, when I start making tracks again, it's going to be under "Hootenanny" so nobody use that name please! Thanks!

.

I present to you Leonardus "The Womanizer EP"

Downshift Radio

Really enjoying this mix from NYC's Dan Bino on Downshift radio. That's some big room cheese I think we can all agree on. Comments for tracklist.

Bag Raiding

I finally got to see Rainbo Video play last night. It was the revolution. What a manic performance and just so much fun! It was presented at gabba speed with a bmore beat, and it made my head spin and I couldn't stop smiling for an hour after I got home. The video projections were outstanding and sometimes hilarious. The mixing was some of the finest I ever heard - loops seamlessly woven together, all of a sudden, Seal's voice gets chopped up and looped over a beat, just crazy stuff like that. It pretty much confirmed what I already knew...Rainbo Video is going to be a force in the Chicago music scene and he's one of the most talented new producers out there. My highest accolades.

.

.

So this song here is called Smoking, it's by Bag Raiders, and it's the best Bag Raiders song in existence. I heard everybody gettin' all hot and bothered by Shooting Stars but the Cheech sample kills it and I could listen to this chipper beat all day long! You know, that stuff that's tied to a stick!
