Let Me Be Fictional

I guess every band has their own documentary nowadays.. not my thing. But that said, this looks pretty killer:



As does this..

(more) new Fred Falke

Hot on the heels of his Music For My Friends EP, Fred Falke has turned in an excellent remix for Erlend Øye's Whitest Boy Alive, reminiscent of his best work with Alan Braxe.

Or maybe you're unsure of whether Falke actually exists. Ignoring the cockamamie aspect of this theory for a moment, wouldn't it make more sense that "Fred Falke" is actually DJ Falcon rather than Thomas Bangalter? Doesn't anyone else find it odd that the Quême cousins (Braxe & Falcon) are both producers, yet have never collaborated? Plus the "Falke" surname could be a thinly-veiled allusion to "Falcon". Hmm.. maybe I'm onto something here..

Soundmaster T

Ever hear a song on a mix or in a club and spend years trying to figure out what it is? When you finally do, it's the greatest shit ever. After a bunch of dead ends, I took a wild guess and finally ID'd Soundmaster T's "2 Much Booty" as the most recent nameless mystery track I've been hunting. I've actually had it for years, just not this particular remix. Enjoy!

Scottie B / Shawn Caesar interview

SB- Mike Dunn was like the street hip house guy. He didn’t get the recognition that others got. I would have loved to see his records played in Chicago with Fast Eddie’s, but he stayed on his small labels. Mike Dunn was the shit.

Great interview with Baltimore Club legends, Unruly founders and Chavy Boys Shawn Caesar and Scottie B over here.

Joe Budden "Secrets" remix

I love a good challenge, along with switching things up from time to time, so I took a shot at remixing a new Joe Budden track a couple weeks ago. It certainly was a challenge (on the acapella, dude just rhymes for 4 minutes straight, no break, no hook, nothing..), and I haven't even attempted a straight up rap joint in years, but all things considered I'm happy with how it turned out.

Alan Braxe & DJ Falcon interview and live set

I don't normally re-post content from the blog scene, but in case you missed it, someone recorded Alan Braxe & DJ Falcon's LA set last fall and tossed it up online, along with interviews from both.
