Nice one, I like it. Like watching american football in a uk style pub in the middle of manhattan drinking Brooklyn Lager.

If it made it remember this one, here it is.

Talking bout Ed Banger, you might check a minimix by the newly signed DSL brothers. I damn sure will, the tracklist is funky. Lets see if they fucked it up or made it sound as good as it reads.

DSL Minimix

Gil Scot-Heron – Your Daddy loves you
The Jackson – style of life
Siriusmo – last dear
Phoenix vs DSL
M. – le roi des ombres
DSL J’m’en bats les couilles (instru)
Kassav – bel kréati
Buraka – luanda lisboa
Yo Majesty – blame it on a change
Mr Oizo – Lars Von Sen
Bullion – Get Familiar
DSL Stupid Bitches – DATA Rmx
Sefyu – Molotov

As hipster as it gets. An alternative rock group, electronic producers and a rapper. All three musical elements in one song. Wait for the video with carrot cuts, funky glasses, ironic poses, homoeroticism and colourful colours. Vice magazine should be proud.The End of Day.

What is the rapping hipsters passion for space about anyways? Lil Wayne is a marsian, Kanye West ripped Daft Punks space stage to orchestrate hisself as the “greatest star of the universe” and Kid Cudi is the man on the moon. Escaping the world economic crisis on a pursuit of happiness?

Lets speak about the song. Somebody give  the Kid a hug! I guess somebody did after Excuse my Mood. Sky wont fall once he got it. Sky, space and emotions all over. I just heard somebody say hipsters aint nothing but painted Emos. Proven right.

Sorry for sounding like a hater, the music is cool and Cudi is a cool dude. Its just that I realise I wrote three posts in a row about music I appreciate but will hardly listen to. Somebody get me to lala land, a place without having to work like a mule for small change, no aggressions that your speakers have to reflect, all about falling in love, being a cute kid and enyojing  peacefull moonlight. Somebody give me a hug! Your boy’s gone emo! I guess I’ll be fine once I get it. I’ll be good.

Kid Cudi featuring Ratatat, MGMT – Pursuit of Happiness

Kid Cudi and Ratatat worked together for two songs ond Cudi’s album and plan on releasing an album togehter.

I liked Bonkers better. Its a thin line between pop and pop. Would this be the time for another “why didnt urban dance get brought to the charts by new cats before the mainstream exploits it” rant? Probably. Holidays suck, schakker hart (thats “work hard” for you 1st world citizens).

Still, Dizzee comes to Germany and I might wanna check him out again. So let me note the tour dates.

11.11. Frankfurt – Batschkapp
12.11. Münster – Skater’s Palace
13.11. Hamburg – Uebel & Gefährlich
14.11. Berlin – Astra
17.11. Köln – Stollwerck
18.11. München – Backstage
19.11. Stuttgart – Zapata

Dizzee Rascal ft. Chrome – Holiday (prod by Calvin Harris)

In related news, the attempted murder of the vocal effect called “Auto Tune” failed miserably. Sean “Jay-Z” Carter, you loose. Although I would say Jay-Zs “back to the basics, fuck rappers who put melodys in their raps and everything the South brought to the game” is a classic case of “aus der Not eine Tugend machen” (somebody translate that), it was a nice try. So sad it failed.

British singer/ band (this is like a Mike Skinner/ The Streets type of confusing thing) Mr Hudson has his album Straight No Chaser co-produced by Kanye West. Auto Tune in the first single wasnt surprising since Mr “biggest star in the universe” West needs his walking frame for his ambitions as a Hipster-ish pop singer. Mr. Hudson wouldnt and being Kanye’s protege aint doing bad neither. The album appears on Kanyes G.O.O.D. Music and 1st single Supernova topped the charts right ahead.

Mr Hudson feat. Kanye West – Supernova (Calvin Harris Remix)

Eurochart Hot 100 Singles 9
Irish Singles Chart 2
UK Singles Chart 2
UK R&B Chart 2
U.S Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles 12

DOA, huh? Jiggas personal Bay of Pigs aside, talk of the town Calvin Harris made Mr.Hudsons well produced electronic alternative RnB 80ies pop bounceable. The synths make you throw up your hands like its Sensation White again. Or some big ass commercial house event.

Straight No Chaser is out in october.

Ah yeah: the joke about all of this is that Mr.Hudsons song tops Dizzee’s. Mainly due to the fact that Calvin’s remix for Hudson is better than the beat he gave Dizzee’s single. Still strange. Once you start doing pop your battle skills won’t get you far, Mcee.

Seriously. We picked five tracks for you, stream them, download individually or get the full mini blog compilation. I’ll explain what you hear below, lets get to the ugly cover first.

Schakkerhart – Party Starters (Ms Dynamite, Mr.V, B.Rich, Cadenza, Magot)

Ms Dynamite feat. Geeneus – Crackish

Geeneus is spinning House and funky on Rinse, so he got props. Teamed up with Miss Dynamite, who we heard just one post ago (Bad Gyal Hot Fuck (Natalie Storm vs. Ms.Dynamite)

Magot – Als Ik Los Ga (Kid Kaio Remix)

Thats an interesting mixture right here, like your first time of Zaziki and onions on fries. Belgian lyrics on a tropical beat. 

Cadenca – Funky Nassau

A dope one we found on baltimore-club.com: Cadenza sampling “The beginning of the end” by Funky Nassau. I dont know any of the names but the track is rocking.

Mr V. – Put Your Drink Down (Big Space Remix)

„Put Your Drink Down“ by Mr.V been around for some time BUT: the chariusmatic leader of underground blogging, Big Space, did a mean rework. He tries to heat up South African winter with that. It works well to heat up the Germanian summer too.

B.Rich feat. Reese – Make Me Dance

B Rich, at last. Okay I forgot where I got it from and the club will be closing before I remember. Post some wise words about it in the comments will ya?

Natalie Storm & Jigsy – Hot Fuck Remix (preview)

Buy full track

 To have more than two minutes of uncut raw in this post let me add another Bad Gyal. I stole her to from The Heatwave. Thats the bashment connection over there, them Rastafarians is crazy. The track aint really as digitall bass as this blog is but I’ll give it a pass because its from Ms.Dynamite.

Ms Dynamite – Bad Gyal (mediafire)

Production is done by Sticky. Even if it aint Digital Bass, atleast the bass sounds digital. Plus ms.Dynamite really knows how to spit.

Radioclit vs Guns’n’roses is pure porn. The Afrikan Boy version of Kalemba rocks too. And yes, I listened to more than the first tracks, hater!

The one got  for streaming is Off with ya head. Lil John did the beat a at Red Bull Music Academy’s ‘A Class Of Its Own’ recording session in Cape Town in 2008. Who will be at the next academy in London btw? I will, helicopter’s booked.

Stones Throw’s Aloe Blacc is doing the vocals. The full, untagged 320 version:

Lil’John feat Aloe Blacc – Off with ya head

I got much more for you coming up, as soon as I managed to get a cloned version of myself I’ll post-bomb this net into pieces. Yey-Yah.

Ah yeah: we on Fairtilzer now. Check it out, enjoy the music and give the mixes some love!

Schakkerhart System on Fairtilzer

Most people dont even know where Cape Verde is and now there music is poppin up. Why? Hm I guess Radioclit listened to some Buraka Som Sistema and checked the neighboring countries for something to redo theirselfes. What they did on their “Fu (Na Na Na) Mix” is actually the same Buraka Som Sistema did to Angolas Kuduro. You take the original music and mix it with fitting, high tech western music till it passes the bouncer. Since Lissabons Kuduro scene is made up of as many Cape Verdians as Angolans (the countrys are connected since they shared a colonial occupant), I guess theyd go bananas over some pimped out Funana too. The only western guys who did that before is Schlachthof Bronx from Munich far as I know.

Radioclit – Fu Na Na Na Mix

Sabi Dimas – Xibioti e Sousa
Janka Nabay – Eh Congo (Radioclit Edit)
Uproot Andy – La Camisola
Raiss Di Funana – Nho Fifi
Naty Kid – Sereia
Pitbull feat Machem Montano & Lil Jon – Floor On Fire
Ricky T – Pressure Boom
Kidy – Apoia Tradisom (Radioclit Edit)
Skepta – Stageshow Rhythm
Ize – Tronku Di Mundo
Wiley – Sorry Sorry Pardon What (Radioclit Edit)
DJ Vielo – Decale Mon Afrique
DJ Gant Man – Boricua Juke
Maluca – El Tigeraso
Marius – Senhora De Luz
Tony Allen – Fuji Ouija (Diplo Remix)

I got wise to the mix by checking ghettobassquake.blogspot.com 

Thanks! He found it on corporatebloggin.com so they cool too.

Radioclit put some Pitbull & Lil Jon, Grime (Skepta & Wiley), Soca, Speed Merengue and whatever they felt was uptempo enough to the Funana tracks. It has the same effect as Buraka Som Sistema puttin some electro and dubstep to Kuduro in their production. It puts the pill in the cake. Talkin about pills: If you took an X pill the last month, the mix will bring it back.

 
Original Funana is based on two main instruments. The ferro, a metal stick with notches, scraped for the percussion and the accordion, called gaita. Drums and guitars get added. Its pretty monoton and repetitive what makes it hypnotising and right up my alley. I saw Ferro Gaita, one of the big bands, while I was in the city of Tarrafal and had a ball.

Ferro Gaita – É Si Própi

It comes with some holiday pics if you dont mind. 

I guess thats due to the time I connect with it but I fuckin love that song. The melody makes me melancholic as fuck.

The Schlachthof Bronx track I was talkin about:

Schlachthof Bronx – Funana

Even better than the traditional version is modern Funana. More base heavy and even faster. Listen to that on a pimped out share taxi speeding through serpentines, and you dont need no club no more.

An example I found on ghettobassquake.blogspot.com:

Duda-Dja Txiga Nha Bes

If youre looking for a news and elegant way of rubbing genitals against each other, learn to dance the Cabo Verde way.
I’m gettin itchy feed. And its not that I didnt change my tennis socks. Perhaps I should visit those palm trees again. Flights is cheap (check funana.de), the German summer sucks, so far, and Bundesliga is in its summer break. So what?

Terry Lynn feat. Radioclit – It Was Written

I uploaded the title track for you to get an impression.

Download audio file (terryLynn_ItWasWritten_schakkerhartcom.mp3)

Terry Lynn – It Was Written

Terry Lynn will be at splash festival in Germany in july. Being THE traditional Hiphop festival over here, they gave up the star filled rap line-ups this year an booked elecronica artists instead. The music I dedicated the last 12 month to struck a nerve, seemingly. Aaron LaCrate & MZ Streamz will be there, Boys Noize,Deichkind, Dizzee Rascal, DMG$ & Xrabit, Frauenarzt & Manny Marc,Ghislain Poirier & MC Zulu, Kid Cudi, Lady Sovereign, Peaches,Prinz Pi, Santigold, Stereo MC’s,Terry Lynn & Wildlife,The Streets,TUA,Yo! Majesty, MSTRKRFT, Marteria,….

Sounds like a list of Schakkerhart.com blog posts? Yea. Not bad for a bunch of backpackers on a pasture. I want my early adopter fee for this bullshit trend.

Donni hooked me up with the Rockatronix Remix of “Das geht Ab”. Nice one, reminds me a lil bit of Oh Snap!’s Bill Cosby Sweater. No. It’s The Raven.

Frauenarzt & Manny Marc – Das geht Ab (Rockatronix Remix)

Download audio file (Frauenarzt_MannyMarcDas%20geht%20abRockatronixRMX.mp3)

The football version of the song marked another success for the funky pussy doctor, becomming the official hymn of Hertha BSC’s championship ambitions. The song was more succesfull than Hertha’s  ambitions, at least. The decision about that will be made tomorrow, btw. I dont even give a fuck about it as long as Dortmund reaches the Euroleague.
