Bobby Evans – Freak-A-Zoid Robotz (Them Jeans Remix)

BOBBY EVANS
“Freak-A-Zoid Robotz” Music Video
Directed by Marcus Herring
Produced by Rick Ross (Delicious Vinyl)

Press Release:
It’s time…to put your quarters up and check out the hottest video on the planet: Bobby Evans’ smash hit Delicious Vinyl single “Freak-A-Zoid Robotz”, directed by Marcus Herring. Enter an arcade game world where a Tron state of mind and fly moves preside, where metallic Sorayama-inspired robots do choreographed dances and fight 8-bit battles to the death. “Freak-A-Zoid Robotz” is the lead track and theme song from Delicious Vinyl’s critically lauded RMXXOLOGY album. The song itself is inspired by a truly obscure cut from deep in the Delicious Vinyl catalog: an electro-bass number called “The Fine Line Between Hyper And Stupid” that appeared on the b-side of Tone-Loc’s 1990 single “I Got It Going On”. With “Freak-A-Zoid Robots”, Bobby Evans (half of L.A. hip-hop duo Brother Reade) has taken it back to the real pioneers of Miami Bass, with whip-it-good drums, ass-clapping bass, and synapse-snapping synthesizers…all perfect for robot booty shaking.

NEW: Dada Life – Happy Hands & Happy Feet

dadalife

New electro house track from Dada Life’s forthcoming album “Just Do the Dada” due out in September.

Dada Life – Happy Hands & Happy Feet

Press Release:

Dada Life is the brainchild of Stockholm-based Olle Corneer and Stefan Engblom. In the summer 2006, Dada Life released “Big Time” on Mylo’s Breastfed label and DJs all over got their first taste of the duo. Since then, there has been a steady stream of hit records from “The Great Fashionista Swindle,” “Vote Yes” and “Fun Fun Fun” to this spring’s “Happy Hands And Happy Feet” EP. Dada Life’s music is adored by both an eclectic mix of DJ talent — including David Guetta, Tiësto, Eric Prydz, Altern 8, Crookers and Don Rimini — and some of the most discerning underground tastemakers in the world (check out some of the quotes below).

Conceptually, Dada Life was inspired by the Dada cultural movement that originally began in Zurich during World War 1. “We don’t want to be perceived as arty, but we like the anti-ideas and f*ck-off-attitude of Dada. We have just taken the word Dada and filled it with whatever we like. Like the title track “Just Do The Dada” – it doesn’t really mean anything specific. That’s also the ideas we want to communicate – the basic concept of Dada Life – anti-everything, f*ck-all, but still not pinpointed. Everybody can do the Dada. But no one really knows what it is. All this has been the idea from the start. Hence older titles “This Machine Kills Breakfasts”, “Vote Yes” and “The Great Fashionista Swindle” and new tracks created for the album “Let’s Get Bleeped Tonight” and “Happy Hands & Happy Feet.” There’s a certain attitude to Dada Life, but it’s not specific,” Corneer explains.

When performing as a live act Dada Life is one box of bananas, a couple of bottles of Champagne and a lot of sweat and broken equipment. On the other hand, Dada Life DJ-gigs tend to go the same way with an MPC and some controllers that enable the boys to play around with samples and loops even when they DJ. They also constantly produce their own remixes/edits of good tunes in order to have something unique to play during the sets. North American audiences will experience this firsthand when Dada Life takes to the States for a full tour later this summer / early fall!

“Just Do The Dada” is released September 8, 2009 on The Hours.

Music on thesixtyone.com: FM Belfast, Passenger,Kid A, Red Sky Lullaby, and many more…

Wanted to highlight a site I visit daily for new music called Thesixtyone.com. It’s a site where musicians and bands upload their tunes for bumps/hearts to have their tracks more less voted to the top of the boards. Similar to Digg, but for music. Seriously, it’s a great site with even greater content.

Here are some of the many tracks I have found thesixtyone.com :

kid_a

Kid A

KiD A – Smudge (CINEMAX)

red-sky-lullaby

Red Sky Lullaby

Down and dirty track with a killer chorus hook from Dasan Ahanu, “To Get To You”. The Rap style of Kalu James on this track reminds me of Del The Funky Homosapien from the Gorillaz. Great Track!

Red Sky Lullaby – Love Sick (ft. Dasan Ahanu and Kalu James)

fm_belfast

FM Belfast

Produces wonderfully “old school” electronic music in the vein of Kraftwerk and earlier works of LadyTron. At times the music reminds me of Komputer but with a more playful bounce (think Tom Tom Club).

FM Belfast – Underwear

FM Belfast – VHS

marryathief

Marry A Thief

Has Postal Service sentiments with Imogen Heap soundscapes, not a bad combo at all.
Marry A Thief – Honestly Bored

Anjulie

For those who enjoy Lilly Allen, like myself, will dig this track from Anjulie. Anjulie mixes 60’s soul, pop, and electronic elements for a swaying melchonly tune.
Anjulie – Addicted 2 Me

Passenger

Imaging an old smiths tune married to 60’s soul music and you’ll have Passenger.

Passenger – Walk You Home
