I didnt really pay attention to Guccis stuff in 2009. To me,  Dirty South got a lil uninteresting cause it slowed down in making progress, other stuff was more interesting it I defffnitly didnt feel like snapping fingers and brushing dust of my shoulder in 09. Buttt: I defffnitly payed attention to Gucci some years ago. After gettin into Jeezy around the time of his major debut of course I checked out his arch enemy of that time too. Gucci had momentum with So Icy, just like collaborating Jeezy. Problem was, after the track they got into beef and Gucci shot a guy trying to rob him, allegedly send by Jeezy. So Jeezy rocked the charts and Gucci had to fight charges. He did, but chart topping retalition had to wait till 09. Now they sqashed beef btw. Problem at the end of 09 for Gucci: hes in jail again. Violated probation. So thats were the title of Diplos mixtape comes from. 

Mixtape is nice, nothing more, nothing lesser. Like the Emnyd track and dude even added the instrumental on his blog. Lots of tight producers on the tape, so check their work.

Bok Bok feat Bubbz – Citizen’s Dub

Shit, war aint no afterhour chill out joint with hippie couches and we damn sure aint snowball-fighting. Whats next? Wobble T., also known as Triple Wobble and stemming from Italy has a real beauty for us. A “ghetto beauty“. At the end of 2009 he made himself a name with his bassline remix to Fake Bloods “Mars“, this one starts with dubstep and steps on the gas in the second half.

Wobble T. – Ghetto Beauty



No that was something I could rot to. Number three: “Headspin” by HavocNdeeD and Skaught Parry. HavocNdeeD are a dubstep duo from Phoenix and yeah, they’re killin it.

HavocNdeeD feat Skaught Parry – Headspin



If we were just rotting, this must have been heaven. So since the sun just made her way to the top, we might as well make the balkony snow-laden Nature One surrogate. Piss a sun in the snow and stop crying. Finishing the post is Flores Remix to her own track “Feel Me“. Kuduro and Drum n Base influences with some wobble and a nice tension spanning part in the middle.

Peep the original too, comes with nice “2 hot for mtv” video. Lyrics done by Shuda K. If it’s cold outside stay in, pick a blue pill and give your girlfriend more than the usual grimey ten minutes. Aint there a time more romantic than january?

What I put on my playlist: first, Faithless are back. Its three years since there last album and much longer since I cared. Dont know what they did during the last years, but the new stuff aint bad. They put the new single „Sun To Me“ on the net, a housy party tune. Now Gui Borrato and Jerome ISA reworked the tune. Dark atmosphere house tunes, also club friendly. A third remix is coming from trance producer Alex Morph.

Faithless – Sun To Me (Jerome ISA Remix)

Faithless – (Sun To Me Gui Boratto Remix)

Faithless – Sun To Me (Alex Morph Remix)

So house music is the thing for today. Bart B More remixed Crookers‘ „No Security“. Electro House with some left-ober Kelis lyrics from the original track. The next Kelis album is supposed to be produced by Will.I.Am and David Guetta by the way. Another one on that commercial urban bass trip. What else are you supposed to do if your milkshakes doesnt bring the boys to the yard anymore.

Crookers ft. Kelis – No Security (Bart B More Remix) [Mediafire]

Next: some deep house. Or something like that. „Joy Orbison’s Recreation“ is performed by  Jose James and can be found on the Dubstep Remixes 12inch to the track „Blackmagic“. The original version war produced by Flying Lotus, who also did Jose James‘ “Park Bench People”.

To put an end to the hopuse round up: Soda ’n‘ Suds got an EP out called “Fuck House”. Dem Slackers, Kill Frenzy and DJ Manaia are featured. Manaia obviously likes him some Baile Funk and Kuduro. So do I, so lets pick the “DJ Manaia Mashed Up Style Remix” of “Fuck House”.

Soda ’n‘ Suds - Fuck House (DJ Manaia Mashed Up Style Remix)

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.

Time for new stuff: The Slippas and Besza made remixes of Wie Gott. Both less hardcore than the original version, with a slight LSD vibe to it. Fittin the lyrics. Drugs may make you feel like god, but youre still fucking with the devil. You may end up standing in a phone booth forgetting what took you there……..

Schakkerhart – Wie Gott (Slippas Jubiläums Hofmann Refix) [Download]

Schakkerhart – Wie Gott (Besza Remix) [Download]

Schakkerhart System (Cheezy P) - Hold The Line Megamix

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?
