The Kids Do It Again

The Amsterdam Clubkids. I can hardly get enough of these bitches. I swear, like too fucking fly for me. Shit like that only happens in Europe.Why?. If I ever walked out of my place looking like that, all these bums would laugh [but who knows, considering this is Brooklyn, maybe they wouldn't?]
So yeah, I've done a post about them already, praising their swag and what not, but I recently found out that they made a collaboration with, get this: The Cool Kids. Ahh, sexiness.
Jesus Christ. When Fresh met Fresh-er.
So I hear they're looking for some fresh blood for their crew, quite difficult if I may say. Seriously. Does anyone know people who dress like that?
Good Luck with that!

It's The Big Big One

Apart from the 33 Thousand bloggers out there, RAVING about Vampire Weekend (deeming it a bonafied blog band, and trust me I think they're pretty hot too, make no mistake) but I'd rather highlight some unnoticed Myspace Bangers. They are a plenty, and I love that. This is what I made of all those band requests, and I've been working on it for the past week. See, Soulk!d is all about that free promotion shit (not that I actually make a huge impact or anything, but fuck it)
Enjoy, lovelies, enjoy!

First Up: Let's Go To War, cheeky name, innit? They're sick though, crazy sounds, and remixes, not to mention the graphics (very neat in that area), They're slightly more hip hop than electro, but that never hurts does it?











Let's Go To War - Life We Live



Then You Add Terror Dactel to that mix, a lively clash of 'tronic and computer sounds. You hear that, fuckin 'tronic AND computer sounds. He also made a remix of PJtheViking's Raining Blows.
Seriously, there's like an underground network of undiscovered shit on Myspace alone, or maybe I'm late on that bandwagon.


Terror Dactel - Rocket Ready
Timbaland - The Way I Are (Terror Dactel RMX)



Okay, Okay, What have we now: Lazerbitch! Oh Brooklyn, you and your weird-ass emerging bands. It's promising though, quite promising. Someday soon, ain't nobody gonna have shit on you, with all these basement experiements. Keep them coming, there's an ear out there (a.k.a moi) just eager to listen.
I think Lazerbitch is ace, nuff said.


Lazerbitch - Now Again



And Finally, one of my favorites: Adam Port. He's hyped already anyways, how could he not, really? Berlin has got a spew of artists that's stepping up to the plate, and he's just one of those many big big ones on that scene. Keine Musik is where you should be lookin' at.






Grace Jones - My Jamaican (Adam Port Edit)

And, That's a Wrap.

All You Topshop Addicts

It's All About Brooklyn [Now]

In a few years, I might not even step foot in Manhattan anymore. Everything I'll ever need will be at arm's reach, and I like that. I've been keeping tabs on UO for the past 2 years. Why the hell didn't this happen sooner? or maybe, is it the beginning of the end for the hipster culture that lies Northwest of Brooklyn?
Maybe I'm, happy. Maybe I should be? Finally the end of an era, materialized with the selling out of its own neighborhood. Urban? AA was enough, but Urban? Really? Next thing you know, WholeFoods will open up [and yes they are if I read correctly].
Maybe I shouldn't be laughing, we're gonna have a full blown gentrification on us pretty soon. like, full fucking blown. Could you imagine?
Imagine SoHo, but with more bodegas and far less theaters and art galleries. Although that last one might've changed as I am writting...
Merde...

I Love Danger

Litterally. iTunes earned some street cred when they gave away Danger's 11h30 for FREE last week. They refrained from giving away what they like to call "good" music for a week, and provided some decent stuff. I love it.
Australia/UK/Canada/New York/Germany who?As far as I'm concerned, France is crushing the electronic music competition.
Vive la France?
:)

Danger - 11h30

And It's Out!

If you didn't know, well now you do: it's called Ed BANGER for a reason, and it serves it's purpose well, very fucking well.
Justice has graced us with the video for DVNO, and it blows the roof off. The Parisian duo has yet again enlisted the creative talent So_Me for their second video and it's pretty much safe to say that these dudes are here to stay.
Merde! - Because Shit Sounds Better In French.

Parfait!

After a beautiful [and long] lethargic two week self-imposed vacation, I'm back bitches :)
who knew? right? who the fuck knew that would ever happen? :)
Sooo, TTC (les enculés les plus cools) have finalement gave us the video for Travailler, ouais, finalement!
And it's no more appropriate that I get back to working.
Cool vid, cool dudes, France does it again.

2003-2008

Who cares what was going on around the rest of the world, Bordeaux had it poppin' last night, celebrating Ed Rec's 5th anniversary. Do you remember Paris last year? That was a hell of a celebration.
So what's another 5 years gonna bring us, Mr. Winter? How can you possibly improve on the product that's made so many heads bang? Is that a Ed Rec Volume Trois I see there?
Keep On Doing You, We Love It

Now That, Is Love

Mr. West delivered the [much anticipated] video for Flashing Lights, and no maybe we don't know [or aybe you know? enlighten me, my friend?] what's with the concept [although it is pretty dope, in a very weird and mysterious way], but it is a proper way to spread the love to your fans.
If I were to elaborate on what it is that I am seeing, and come up with a decent analysis, I, well...who gives a fuck? just watch him blow you away :]

It's Monday!

No shit Sherlock. Let's start the week off right. Thanks to Pig Radio. The best Paper Planes remix to date, done by James Murphy of DFA.
this is a bannnnger.

M.I.A - Paper Planes (James Murphy Remix)

Scandalous!

I love it when I go on AA and see ads like this one. No more bum shots, no more crotch shots, they're going all out with their 'Pantytime' Promo. All fucking out.
I'd give my right arm to know what it's like backstage at these shoots. These bitches don't even have to stretch a finger to call their models up for a campaign! Danm, that's the wonder behind Apparel, that's the good stuff that keeps you coming back. Dolce&Gabbana who? AA ads get me going.
Now head on down there and go get yourself some V-Necks, don't skip the underwear section. You know you want some.

It's Like Taking Your Daily Fix

Nothing gives me more chills then the mere thought of the much hyped Justice hoopla in MSG on March 11th. I'm a fan man, I swear, I've completely obliterated any previous associations with crosses for that of what ever the fuck the French duo has put into my psyche. Now, leather jackets, cigarette puffs and ass-shaking is all I expect from any s.o.b who's walking down the street with a cross tattoo on their forearm (or ass cheeks, cause even then, I peeped that, those jeans tight enough?).
If you see X&Y round the way, tell'em there's some hopeless kid, down in Brooklyn, smashing her brains out to New Jack.

Make Way For PJ

Where has this dude been hiding? He's putting VA on the electronic map [let's see we got France, Australia, Canada, UK, Germany and Italy, am I missing anyone?]
PJtheViking has beats for you, and he wants you to listen. Check out that myspace yo, and sample some rave goodness.

PJtheViking - Raining Blows

So You Say, "Les" Teenagers ?

Another dirty motha from France, The Teenagers have fairly earned street cred over the past year. With wickedly titled tunes [Starlett Johansson], and dirty lyrics, they've won over the heart [and ears] of a handful [no, make that armful] of music-loving hipsters [and anyone in between].
These dudes will be at Cake Shop tomorrow [yes, at Studio B too, later on]. But the Cake Shop gig is, FREE. Yes free. And it's all ages. I know, that sounds swell. Very swell.
give these bitches your attention! [or if you're into them, reciprocate]
