On another hype, but less trancey note, the Philadelphyinz just threw a track on the nets for your listening pleasure. Its a gillie da kid remix. Holler at that shit! Then punch someone in the face, cause it's that kind of song.
So yesterday when I was posting about Makeout Party the band, I stumbled across, a group of rappers from NY that go by the name of The Makeout Party. Always a fan of happy mistakes, I took a listen to their tracks, and found myself pleasantly surprised. Some of the beats actually knock pretty hard, and the lyrical content is fresh and funny, well as fresh as you can get with party rap. You get your run of the mill topics, sex, parties, and well that seems to be about it. But since when have sex and parties been a bad thing?
Can you really hate on a croup with names like: FATTY, MISH THE MISH MASH, NO!Z MACHINE,and TIGERBEAT? Also check the "rockit" sample on get classy, talk about subtlety. If you're looking for some fun party music check them, according to their myspace they just dropped a CD recently. It's called Spell Check 1...2... I have no idea where you can get it, but maybe you can message them about it?
Hey world, I got some more music for you. A couple of months ago there was this band that stayed at my house. They go by Makeout Party. I first heard of them when my former roommate had a shirt that said makeout party is awesome, which I incessantly tried to steal from him. Fast forward, they stayed over, we hung out, and they played a show. They've just released their first full length record independently with the help of the Make music Collective. It's called Lengths and Limits.
Lengths and limits is kind of a return to the classic emo sound, not emo in the sense that we think of it today. Think more along the lines of "Texas is the reason" and less "My chemical romance". I've got the record, and I like it, but since when has my recommendation ever been a reason to go buy something. So the band has been kind enough to furnish me with an mp3 to share with you guys. It's at the bottom of this post. Here's one more link to their myspace if you missed the first one

To make this all worth reading, lets get to the story at hand. This band is called todosantos, they rule hard. They're kind of ridiculous, which in my estimation only adds to the rule factor. They're into neon lights, fast music, and pretty much everything awesome, so without further ado I give you a link to their myspace
May the force be with you young padawon.
Since I couldn't find the song I wanted, I'll post up another one of theirs. which is also awesome.
So here goes....
In other news I will be working on a remix for this band. You might have heard of them. They're called One Small Step for Landmines They're pretty awesome. Anyway enjoy the rest of your Thursday people. I might be back later with some sort of thrift store finds maybe.....
Without further ado however, we move on to the first of the Funky Fridays. This song is called Funky Nassau, by The Beginning of the End. It's off of the Funky Nassau LP, which has both parts I & II I'm just giving you part I though. This is a great song, actually the whole record's good, but speaking of this song; the first time I heard it was in Blues Brothers 2000 when they play a cover of it. That's beyond the point however. The point is that this is funky and I hope you like it.
For you funk o philes who might like a certain part I'll post who played what instruments, in case you wanna do some research and fine more records by these guys.so:
Raphael "Ray" Munnings - organ & vocals
Liroy "Roy" Munnings - guitar & vocals
Franks "Bud" Munnings - drums, conga & vocals
Fred Henfield - Bass
Horns:
Neville Sampson - trumpet
Ralph Munnings - tenor Sax
Kenneth Lane - tenor sax
P.S. This is only up until I post the next Funky Friday, so if you like the track get it now.
None of that matters however. What does matter is that I have a bunch of music for you and me to be excited about. And not just dance music either. Although some dance music I heard is what made me get on and post this. So I get a myspace message from this dude, turns out he makes music, I check his shit, and my head explodes cause I'm not expecting this kind of fun music from Tallahassee. Anyway his name is Jonny Warren he's made some cool tracks, and you should check out his myspace. I'll put something up for download when I get a hold of it/if he's cool with it. That was the first thing, and then I started to think about other things in this town I'm excited about that people might not be aware of. so here we go.
One Small Step For Landmines These guys just got back from a short tour. They also have a sweet record coming out from what I've heard. Do not sleep, they write awesome songs, and put on a great live show.
Love is Everything This band is pretty cool. I'm filling in on bass for them at the moment. Look for full band recordings Wednesday night/Thursday morning and after.
There's more, there's always more, but if I post it all at once you won't have a reason to come back now would you? It's 5:30 in the morning, I don't have the strength to post any mp3's right now. Don't forget to look one post down and holler at that mixtape. People are talking apparently.
Just in case you forgot, tonight the party is going down at Tantra Lounge on N. Monroe. Bring smiles, and your dancing shoes. I promise I'll try my hardest to make it fun.
Hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording it. As always feedback is appreciated. Both positive and negative.
Holler.
Don't play like that wasn't the best thing you've ever seen in your fucking life.
Anyway, what's really important is that DJ Funk and Yo Majesty are playing in Orlando tomorrow. It is also my birthday, but that's second to the amount of bass that's gonna be coming out of the system ad Firestone If you're in Tallahassee like me, you need to go. Carpool anyone?
Yo Majesty-Kryptonite pussy(Direct link) stolen from Stereogum
couldn't find any DJ Funk so holler at his myspace
my boy Raid played vitalic at Tantra tonight. That made my night, first of all he played it after Bob Sinclair, which completely made up for playing Bob Sinclair in the first place, second of all when the squelchy bass came in it rocked my face. Here's to hoping tomorrow ,can be as much fun as I had in those 5 minutes tonight. Hopefully I'll see you people.
So I guess next was Tuesday, and that was crazy, my first Tuesday night playing at Tantra. I was real nervous, I'm not gonna lie. I played terrible, but what crowd there was seemed to be feeling it, so I'm glad they had fun dancing. If you missed it, definitely try to come out this week. It's free, you can dance all you want without skipping the records, and if you're 21+ there's some really good drnk specials from what I understand. The party will be jumpin this week. I'm not promising anything, but there might be some kind of Tom's Diner mash-up insanity happening if your ass shows up. HOT FIRE.
Anyway, then pretty much nothing happened until last night. There were some parties, one that I spun at, it was fun, I'm sure someobody took pictures. Also my man Andre was rockin some jams. I'm not sure if she played before the cops got there or not, but my girl Andrea was also in the mood to wreck shit on the dance floor.
Anyway the DBC is making moves, be on the lookout for Africa Hot this fall. DO NOT SLEEP.
Mixtape madness will continue in the next week or so, or whenever I get off my lazy ass and record. If it's anything like I was playing last night, your mind will hopefully be blown.
So there's drink specials and whatnot, and music, and no cover. Be there. It's gonna be a lot of fun, and if you want to make any requests tell me before Tuesday night, cause if you don't tell me and I don't bring it you can't be mad. The song posts will return tomorrow or so, I gotta get my table fixed, and then there'll be a new mix, which will be much better than the last one.
So dunecat and I were talking about taking over Tantra on Tuesday nights. They got this thing called Eurotrash and tattoos, or tattoos and eurotrash, I'm not sure which way it goes. Anyway, I'm gonna go holler at that dude today, and maybe we'll all have somewhere to hang out on Tuesday nights. There'd probably be a cover, but who cares about that, it'll be lots of fun I promise. Just like a house party with no threat of cops breaking it up basically.
In other news, I'm working on this aerobics mix, which I think is gonna be kind of fun, I might put it up here when I do it, it'll be way better than all that other shit I've put up before. Hopefully you all like it, be on the lookout for that tomorrow. Then after that there'll be another one that's more new-electro tinged, since that's the new hot shit.
By the way...The new Justice album is totally worth buying the CD, and not downloading for all those of you who are too cool to pay the artists for their work. They threw in some goodies for those who are willing to go that extra mile I guess. It's awesome either way, the tracks are tight, I love 'em maybe you will too. July 10, 2007 be on the lookout.
So I've been stuck without my turntables, and I'm working on a song. What's important is whether or not people would dance to it, so if you could holler at my myspace and listen to a 30 second or so clip of the song, and leave me feedback either here or there, that would be greatly appreciated. I also got new glasses, and I don't have to waer those obnoxious blue ones anymore. Hooray for looking human.
So there's this song that's been getting major burn on the radio down here. It's called beautiful girls by Sean Kingston, anyway I was wondering why I hadn't heard it in Tally, and I check this guy's myspace, and he's from Miami. Case Solved. Anyway for those of you up there who like music, I'm gonna holler at you before it gets on the radio up there, cause this song is awesome and people need to hear it. End of story.
Did some record shopping today, am excited about the purchases, and I think I got myself into some type of mix competition, which should light a fire under me to make better transitions, and better party mixes and whatnot. Also I'm working on a track, that hopefully will be done by tomorrow, but by the least at the end of the week. So far it's just a loop, but from the early feedback it's a hot loop, so be on the lookout. Especially you DJ's cause you'll be getting an exclusive.
So that song umbrella by Rihanna with Jay-Z was prety catchy, but I was kind of tired of hearing his lame ass verse about no clouds in the stones or whatever, so I decided to get rid of it. As I was doing so, I found a little drum break if you want to call it that that I liked so I looped it, which was kind of hard, cause it was my first time working with this stuff. Anyway I looped it, and then I thought since this is an edit and all I should freak the vocals too. So I did, so please give this a listen, it will also be up on the myspace as well. Those of you with final scratch, serato, traktor, etc, feel free to play this version if you: like me dislike the Jay-Z verse. Nothing against the man, but he fell off on this one.
Unrelated story of the night: I went record shopping on Miami beach tonight and got 2 copies of it takes 2 to juggle with, and A copy of I know you got soul, I think I might rip 'em and post em when I get back to my tables, but until then I hope you enjoy this track, and I'm including a second one just for DJ Raid, because hpefully he's checking this out.
So T-Pain is having some sort of Album release jump off at Vinyl Fever tonight. It happens at Midnight, but I'll be DJing at Tantra, which reminds me, I should post a flyer, so I'm gonna do that.
Click the picture for address, and price info.
I have no idea if that flyer is big enough or whatever, but that's the flyer. For those of you interested in coming this will NOT be a party set. There won't be any Baltimore club, or real Jammin music, cause it's not that kind of crowd, although I WILL try and sneak it in if I can. It should be fun kind of maybe. Anyway that's not what you cam here for, you want music to download, so without further ado...
The homie Luke is staying at the house for a while, and we went to the skatepark yesterday, needless to say, it was an awesome time. Then when we got back from that party we watched skate videos. The only way life could be better, is if I could pay my rent worry-free. I'm gonna throw one more track in cause it felt so right last night, as it does right now.
