But for me, the real star of the show is A.Skillz, who does the nasty on it. Quite the bounce going on here:

Black Noise puts a bit of teeth on it as well:

Stay tuned for the single to drop August 2nd. Choon.

It’s been a while, folks. Real life caught up with me hard these past couple weeks. What brings me here today? My buddies in just.one.duran. have reverse engineered what is sure to be the monster tune of the summer – “Barbara Streisand” by Duck Sauce. Let them scratch your mental itch.

Barbara Streisand (just.one.duran bootleg) – Duck Sauce by just.one.duran

And here’s a little ditty what that they threw together a little while back. Still tears up the floor.

Big Dancin’ (just.one.duran remix) – Bounce Camp by just.one.duran

edit: Also great for the bath:

Lemon Jelly – His Majesty King Raam

Second, Cornell’s Mens Hockey team takes on New Hampshire after securing the ECAC title last Friday in a huge win over Union. The Frozen Four, and possibly some ice time with Wisconsin, awaits. The last time Cornell played UNH, on January 3rd, they came out on top – 5-3. Let’s.Go.Red. Normally, I’m not this crazy about sports. But this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Big Red. And Scrivens is a fucking BEAST in the cage.

What I’m all about, all the time, is the Funk. And the Jams. And the Disco. And this week’s discogasm is succinctly described by groovy bassline-loving comrade, WarmWarmerDisco. But I’ll tell you anyway: Madison legend Nick Nice, new kid Fuzzy Duck, free absurdity and space-time bending music. Get your party hats on.

And, lest I forget, a right JAM to whet your appetite, and help console me for not being in Miami this week:

Flight Facilities – Crave You feat. Giselle (The C90s remix)

I think I need a backeotomy. Last night I dropped some tunes at the Natt Spil to what was left of Madison’s musically discerning crowd post St. Pat’s. Half older hip-hop and lounge music, half recently-acquired 70s funk. Next time I’m going to suspend myself from the ceiling by hooks deep in my flesh – it will probably be more comfortable than spinning in that booth normally. I kid; you can almost hear all the music played over the past 6 years after the last record spins.

Malcolm’s Locks – Get Up, Stand Up

The Chosen Few – Funky Buttercup

[Cosmo Baker]

Radio Citizen – Black Forest

Spring = Terrace Parties

This weather’s got my creative outdoor-party-throwing juices flowing. Madison, standby for the real Terrace parties – sunsets with grills and disco. Ithaca already knows what’s up.

Anyway, the good folks at Scion A/V tossed me a promo compilation from Plant Music, a NY record label run by Dominique Keegan and Stretch Armstrong. Major tastemakers in the NYC scene, their decade-old label has a few new, some familiar, and all dope artists on their roster. My favorites below:

Tittsworth feat. Ninjasonik – Molly’s Party

Smalltown Romeo feat. Shad K – Boom Ha (John Roman remix)

Loose Shus – Sky Motel [my new sunset jam]

Find releases from Plant right here.

It’s Spring, and that can only mean one thing: I’m far behind on my tan. I mean, everyone else is probably way ahead of me on at least their base coat. How am I going to take my shirt off at parties / at the park / in the library without feeling super self-conscious now?

Ludacris – How Low (Bird Peterson remix) [le fire that killed it on Sat]

Boy 8-Bit – Wolfen (JOTS remix) [via le Fader]

Beenie Man – Dude (TLGB remix) [le up-and-coming The Living Graham Bond]

The Hood Internet – Decalogue (The Hood Internet vs. The 2000s)
