Croozin’ With Barleezy and O-God

Today we have a gnarly little tune to feature from a couple of our close friends and Major Rager family members Barletta and O-God.  I got a call this Saturday from O-God – - aka Owen Zahara, infamous for his Barbara Streisand “remix” – - saying that he and Barleezy had gotten into the sauce during an afternoon hangout, got chooched and decided to make a tune together.  Well, apparently these cats can work alright while plastered, because they pumped out a groovy little disco-flavoured tune that combines a smooth rolling bassline with O-God’s love for bongos and Barletta’s signature stabs and sweeps.  The combination resulted in a beat that makes you want to “Cruise down the highway going 140 km/h”, as Owen puts it.  The tune is called Croozer and should be picked up by those who aren’t snoozers.

I am also going to share some other classic O-God mashes and remixes which I have always had a soft spot for.  First up is the Shimmy Brain Blend which brings together two classic tunes from rap legends Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Cypress Hill into a fine blend of amazingness.

This smooth tune is what O-God terms the Feelin for Intro Mashup, which brings Alan Braxe’s ‘Into’ together with the classic ‘Feeling for You’ by Cassius in a beautiful way.  This is one of my favourite O-God blends.

This is a remix that O-God did for Salacious Sound’s Streetlab remix competition back in the spring.  In my honest opinion, O-God’s remix was the best of all the submissions for the competition, but unfortunately he did not win the race according to the user-submitted voting system.  He did clench the “Dick Diamonds Choice” award however, which is still a great accomplishment in itself.

This was the very first O-God remix I had ever heard.  I remember first hearing the tune while completely smashed and swerve-dancing during one of his weekly sets at the Sutra Tiki Bar on College Street back in 2009.  I have played this tune out so many times that now I can barely listen to it, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the same.  Get nauseous on this stinker!

This one is going to take over.  After hearing it in the Magnetic Man Essential Mix I have been searching high and low looking for more info about a release date.  There is a promo vinyl pressing that has been out a couple weeks in the UK but the tune is coming out on Technique Recordings [TECH068] and is set to be released Sept. 6th, 2010 in all formats.

Everything Hatch Wanted

I just got hit up this afternoon with a banging new remix of Kele’s Everything You Wanted by my man Hatchmatik of Peer Pressure.  Hatchmatik was making some major waves on the net a year or two ago with several popular remixes such as My Girls by Animal Collective.  In the spring of this year I was really wondering what was up with Hatchy because he seemed to have cooled it down as his website became stagnant and I was hearing very little about this killer Canadian producer and DJ.  I reconnected with the Peer Pressure fam a month ago when Mandeezy and I threw down a big banger of a set with Hatch and A-Rock during one of the infamous On The Run afterpartys.  The night was fantastic – - we finally got a chance to play with the Peer Pressure cats rather than watch them – - and what really made it special was that these guys were stoked to play with us, people who got as excited as they did during a set.  We were all dripping with sweat and exploding with excitement with each big drop and breakdown.  The highlight for me was when Rock & Hatch finished their set and Deezy dropped the classic Krames remix of Shoulder Lean - – a staple during 2007 Peer Pressure jams.  Taste this savory morsel for yourself.  You know where you heard it first!!

Killed Bit By Bit

Our good friends Sam and Biz of The Killabits shot another hot little nugget our way today, and we have decided that this special tune needs to be shared with the bassheads of the world immediately.  This special tune was recently released by Universal/Republic Records, and has already racked up over 130,000 views on Youtube in less than a month.  The banging track is a Killabits remix of Stephen Jerzak’s song She Said, which features Leighton Meester.  Until now, the song has only been available through the Killabits facebook fanpage, but the group now wants it to be made more widely available by offering PnT the exclusive right to share this banger.  This song is a great example of just how versatile the Killabits are when it comes to making heaters that draw on music from a wide variety of genres, styles and artists.  I would urge all the bass lovers of the world who are planning to pass through Toronto to try their best to check one out the Killabits’ energy filled performances at a weekly Bassmentality party, thrown in conjunction with their friends Zed’s Dead.  In fact, if you move fast enough you can even catch both the Killabits and Zed’s Dead rocking with Plugged Not Thugged’s Mr. Mandelephant and Billionaire on September 1st for the Bassmentality/Adrift Booty Shaking Competition at Wrongbar.

Here is a small but extremely potent taste of Flux Pavilion’s upcoming remix of the song Cracks by the UK’s Freestylers.  Not suprisingly, this remix makes use of some of the producer’s signature sounds such as tempest blown chimes and his infamous “screeching lazer synths” which can rip a face right off the skull.   This tune is gonna be a mega-stinker when the full version drops later this summer on Never Say Die records.  Save your quarters, you will need to go to the laundry after listening to this filthy beat bomb.

Anyone remember real hip hop? I do.  Cormega is one of those rappers who effortlessly paints a vivid picture of growing up in the infamous Queensbridge housing projects of New York.  I think he has to be one of the most slept on artists and here are a couple gems from his past albums.

I thought I would never say it, but…think I really like dubstep.  Ever since Plugged Not Thugged agreed to become the official sponsor of  BASSMENTALITY, Zed’s Dead and Killabits‘ insanely popular-bi-weekly in Toronto, I have been exposed to dubstep regularly and have become more and more fond of dubstep and heavy bass music as a result.  While stomping out rib-rattling bass lines is almost exclusively Billionaire’s job, I just can’t help but post Sub Focus‘ remix of Rusko’s overly laid-back dubstep song Hold On with Amber Coffman.  While the original didn’t really tickle my knickers, the remix by Sub Focus definitely did.  Just love the contrast that goes on before and after the one minute mark – from a soft and non-threatening female voice in song to an unrelenting fury of lazer bass-chainsaws ripping through your face and skull.  Hella gnarly track.

I have totally relapsed and returned to my tech house and minimal addiction over the past month.  My addiction has been kicked back into high gear because I couldn’t help but dabble in heaters such as Ramon Tapia’s remix of Kaiser Souzai’s 2009 tune Hurry Caine.  While both the original and the Tapia’s remix kick ass, I really love how Ramon altered this tune by making it sound so eerie.  Through the addition of ambient sounds such as hollow drips and drops, the remix successfully took my imagination below the surface into a weird netherworld of never-ending dance.  Luckily, both tunes are available above ground on Germany’s Yellow Tail records.

The Killabits have been in the studio again and have sent us over some heavy artillery.  Our Toronto homies have been crazy busy with their Bassmentality bi-weekly @ Wrongbar which has built up to being one of the rowdiest and most energetic crowds in the city.  Be sure to catch them spinning alongside 16 Bit on July 21st @ Wrongbar!

This first tune has already hit 100,o00 views in its first month on Youtube and is a perfect example of that high energy party music that these dudes just love to make.

Hands down THE heaviest banger of a tune I’ve heard in at least a year.  Chasing Shadows just keep cranking out the filthiest, darkest, heavy smashing beats and remixes.
