UGH. I was just talkin yesterday about how I was gonna remix the first track from Gang Gang Dance's Saint Dymphna, "Bebey", but come to find out, DJ/Rupture & Matt Shadetek already did. Fuckers. Whatever, I might still give it a shot, make it a little less worldly (even though that's what I like about all artists involved w/ this) and maybe even put raps on it. Regardless of what I may or may not do, this remix is pretty good. It takes a lot of the interesting bits from the original track & adds a 4/4 bounce to make it DJ friendly. It's been on repeat for almost like 12hrs now and probably will be for a few more.
Gang Gang Dance - Bebey (DJ/Rupture & Matt Shadetek Remix)
Aight so we're gonna diversify our bonds n shit and keep this thang movin. Terrestrial Tones is 1 part Animal Collective (Avey Tare) and 1 part Black Dice (Eric Copeland). They on more of a noise-vibe and as far as improvised noise goes it's not too bad. "The Sailor" however is one of those songs where all their elements & influences & techniques coalesce into a magical piece of distorted pop magic. The mostly unintelligible vocals ride the little modulated synth that serves as the backbone like a sailor does w/ ocean waves. Hence the title I guess. This shit is perfect for long drives/flights/acid freakouts/campfires/college football tailgate parties and quinceaƱeras.
Zaytoven is one of those dudes. He supposedly makes like 10 beats a day and given his steady stream of output he probably really makes like 30. He's mostly known for his work with Gucci & Juiceman & Soulja Boy but with Brick Money Vol. 1 he gives a lot of less shiny cats some shine. While quality control doesn't really seem to have been emphasized too heavily with this collection (40 tracks total + like 4 or 5 or 6 tracks who's beats BARELY sound different) there are still quite a few jams on here. Zay's goofy classicalist 808 swag is in full effect throughout. Peep a few a dems
Yeah yo E-40 got ANOTHER record comin out. Ballstreet Journal, his last record, was (to me @ least) better than expected and Dr. Water (I know, sorry) doesn't really seem to be losin any steam in his rapidly advancing age. Seriously though Jeezy is like a little kid on this track compared to 40 and B-Legit, they both inchin ever so close to FIFTY YEARS OLD. 40 is 40 (forreal) and B-Legit been on records since the 80's so that means dude gotta be up there. Plus look @ him. Grizzly MF sans beard. Far as I'm concerned 50-year old rappers can rap till they're 60 if they have a stash of beats like this & 40 probably does. Dunno who to dap for producing this cut but cheers mayne, shit's heavy.
Daily dose of heatrocks to ease world anxiety juuuust a smidge. Right.

The world also needs more Gucci Mane though. His album drops in November or something and since I have like a million of his acapellas I decided to remix a few of em. Some of em are weird. In that there are bars missing. It's weird. I dunno. Whatever so here's one of the done ones. The rest will come in a pack all together. Call this the lead single. Or you can call it awesome. I like to call it trilly. Don't call it trilly though cuz that's retarded and I should stop. Deal.
