do the humpty hump day

Earlier today there was a blog about a radio show that happens weekly on Wednesday nights, but I picked the wrong Wednesday night to make a big deal about it, oh well. Instead there will be a pretty straightforward entry about what we here best: getting dance music on the brain.

First up is a remix from an extraterrestrial duo of dj's who have just arrived on earth (their name suggests on a shuttle, but their impact implies an asteroid) for the second time (they had a brief flirtation with fame in 07 but then apparently died or whatever). This track features a gaggle-o-stars including Spank Rock, M.I.A., Santogold and Nick Zinner. At the real center of this is a riff by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Zinner, with innuendo from your favorite rappers who deal in innuendo over the top, and finally a catchy (if not a tad repetitive) chorus from MIA and Santogold. Look for their full length, The Spirit of Apollo, to drop on February 27th.

Next up, is a Matt & Kim song remixed by one of our favorite dudes Million $ Mano. I will admit that it starts off with a particular synth line that nearly berates your brain to a lull, but it immediately wakes you back up and kicks into a chill baltimore bounce over the chorus to it's a fact. Then comes in a pretty tight (in flow, not in general) rap from Hollywood Holt that augments the relaxed feel while giving it context. Great stuff here!

Thats gonna be it for today, but hopefully will able to shove in here a blog about some sick African music thats been stuck in my head for months now. Be safe, be kind, be gentle.
