Say Wut - Keep Rockin Digi EP Out Now

noreply@blogger.com (di1) — Fri, 23 May 2008 19:34:00 +0000

Super producer NSW aka Say Wut has just released a bangin record on the home of Baltimore Club music Unruly Records

Few producers have dominated Baltimore club music in recent years more than Say-Wut. And those who have, namely Rod Lee and Blaq Starr, have distinctive voices to rely on as their trademarks. Say-Wut, on the other hand, has become ubiquitous with a less immediately identifiable sound that's defined, more often than not, by his tracks' high energy and blaring volume.

Listen to the whole album below

Thursday: Sole A Philly Sneaker Documentary Premier

noreply@blogger.com (di1) — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:17:00 +0000

This looks dope. Local film premiering this Thursday at the Arbol Cafe.

Sole is a documentary that takes an almost anthropological look into the underground world of sneaker culture in Philadelphia. This film is part of the WYBE series called Philadelphia Stories. A portion of it will air on PBS Affiliate WYBE in May as a part of their sixth season of the annual mini-series event. While sneakers serve may serve their functional or fashionable purposes for hundreds of millions, they also serve as a serious hobby and lifestyle for mavens the world over. Sneakers become not only a collector's item, but some would say that they are even part of a modern art movement.The film goes deep into this underground world by interviewing boutique owners as well as designers and store buyers in order to bring full perspective into this unique business. Sole brings the viewer inside their world for a truly entertaining and informative look into the multidimensional landscape that is sneaker culture. Follow Philadelphia's heavy sneaker hitters as well as everyday sneaker collectors to see what makes them so oddly passionate about this multi-billion dollar industry.
When: Thursday, May 22, 2008, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Arbol Café (209 Poplar Street)
Cost: FREE (BYOB)

You know what...

noreply@blogger.com (di1) — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:11:00 +0000

is way cooler than writing your own blog? Reading other people's blogs which is what I've been doing instead of writing on this one here. Ok, enough of break, I'll get back to posting mp3s and parties and teh c00l stuffz. My favorite lately has definitely been Wonkette. Its just so...snarky! Oooh, maybe I'll try that for once or invite someone to be my official snarkster and hate on all sorts of stuff. Just thinking out loud here. This is totally useful, I'm waiting for an mp3 to upload...

Or just waiting for my host and blogging software to play nice, since they haven't wanted to all day.

Sazz Vintage Opens in Olde City

noreply@blogger.com (di1) — Wed, 14 May 2008 17:12:00 +0000

So DailyCandy is a daily email featuring cool stuff for "an affluent, influential female audience." They have local editions all over and one just for Philly and I found this one to be funny.

Last time he went out with the boys, he got thrown out of the champagne room.

Next time he wants to check out some nice racks, send him to Sazz, the newly opened men’s vintage store housed in what used to be Sailor Jerry’s Old City digs. Owner Amanda Saslow’s been hawking vintage for years, but her stock was taking over her house, so she opened up shop.

Clothing from the ’40s to the ’70s will turn the most fashion phobic guys into cravat wearing dandies. He’ll definitely want to check out the embroidered Western shirts and rockabilly gear, and pick up some buckles and hats to round out his look. They also stock bathing suits and lightweight shirts that’ll have him set for summer.

The staff is friendly enough to make him a repeat customer.

And he won’t get in trouble for groping the goods.

Sazz, 38 North Third Street (215-923-7299 or sazzvintage.com).

TRC -Burga Boy Style Dub

noreply@blogger.com (Big Boy Dubs) — Wed, 14 May 2008 04:21:00 +0000

In my epic quest to post every bassline producer that starts their name with a T, we are coming right now to a dude who has been killing it for a while with some tunes. This track was on that Touchdown 4 mixtape that I have had for a minute and always loved it. For ever I thought it was a diss track until I realized that they are down with each other.

Check out this video of these dudes in a rave. Fucking rewinded this sound like 3 times. Kids going crazy on the dance floor.

TRC - Burga Boy Style Dub
(low Quality, although I can't even point you to a place to buy it, maybe they will google their own shit and read this and know that people want to support we just need to know where to get this shit.)

Add him on myspace and support. He also has a couple of records out on Northern line and More 2 Da Floor. You can buy those tracks at Juno and Garage Downloads.

Tonight: Bonde Do Role, Deathset, RR, Gang at JB's

noreply@blogger.com (di1) — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:02:00 +0000

If you notice, there is no Marina. Marina parted ways last year, shortly after their last show at Johnny Brenda's. Then there was this whole contest on Brazilian MTV to pick a new singer, they couldn't decide between two and so kept both.

The MOTHERFUCKING Deathset meanwhile are from Baltimore and Australia and Brooklyn. Their latest album is on Ninja Tune's Counter Records, their rock imprint, and meanwhile they've blown up. Emily Rabbit and Spank Rock have been telling me about them for awhile, course I stopped paying attention once they said it was a band...

The Deathset - Negative Thinking

Pick up their album from here

Also playing resident Danger Danger band Rad Racket "mixes dreamy hardcore with hippie jazz".

Finally, Bonde do Role's pick for this year and last Gang, riding shotgun and killing rats.

Tickets are $10, order them now.

PS: Afterparty at the mausoleum, byob and maybe a keg. 12 - ?
