Download Murlo’s remix of Mr. Vegas

Posted on September 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

You may remember Murlo’s remix of BD1982 a week or two ago, well now he’s back with a Funky/Bashment remix of Mr. Vegas’s ‘Certain Law’. The original is fast-paced Ragga and Dancehall MC’ing over a combination of ‘Barbwire’ riddim and Harry Toddler’s aptly titled ‘Bad Man Nuh Dress Like Girl’.

Completely removing the instrumental track, Murlo instead adds a distorted, grizzly version of Rebound X’s Grime classic ‘Rhythm & Gash’. If you don’t like bangers, then look elsewhere. Or, take joy in the implied punnery of all the different tracks involved in this production.

The ‘Chambacu’ remix EP from Munich’s most unpronounceable production duo (an achievement in itself) has proved to be one of the most popular releases from Mad Decent this year. It’s been the topic of much discussion and has been played, mixed and remixed countless times and the buzz is only getting louder. You can listen to and download the Bert On Beats remix at the bottom.

And then there’s this: a selection of Dancehall and Hip-Hop edits they’ve been playing and remixing recently that’s sure to get any party in trouble with the neighbours.

New Major Lazer material announced

Posted on June 15, 2011 | 1 Comment

A video has appeared on the Mad Decent YouTube channel, heralding the fact that the follow up to Major Lazer’s 2009 ‘Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazers Do’ is nearing completion. The video, which you can watch below, features clips of tracks from the new album as well as footage of their collaborators in the studio in Jamaica.

Among their new band of cohorts are Jahdan Blakkamoore, The Partysquad and Dirty Projectors‘ Amber Coffman. Additionally, Vybz Kartel (with whom they recorded the colossal ‘Pon De Floor’) have contributed vocals to the new LP.

There’s not much news beside that, but keep checking back on the Mad Decent blog for more news and probably some free stuff along the way.

New 77 Klash EP out soon

Posted on June 12, 2010 | Leave a comment

MC for Major Lazer 77 Klash has a new EP produced by Drop The Lime and AC Slater out on Trouble & Bass this week called ‘Shadow Of Death’. A video for the title track is on its way.

“77 Klash is a Brooklyn based artist, raised in NYC, Jamaica and even spent some time on the west coast and this EP really showcases Klash’s spectrum; from angsty mob stomping aggression like on Shadow of Death, to the socio-politcal activist mentality on Dangerous Nights to the sunshine inspired love song No Turning Back. Klash is all about it on this EP, even going hard on the epic Supra 1 Remix of Little Jinder’s Polyhedron instrumental.”

In the mean time you can stream the whole EP on his Soundcloud page or download the title track below before you buy!

Running High – New Album on Ninja Tune for Ghislain Poirier

Posted on April 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

Our good chums at Valeo Productions are shouting their lungs about the new Poirier release. I’ve only heard a couple of tracks (you can tuck into those little beauties below) but it’s really promising and could well be my favourite release of the year.

He’s always been a favourite of mine, riding the different styles without committing to any particular one, excelling in each. His new album promises to make Funky look embarrassing and I really can’t wait, which makes a change – it’s been a long time since I’ve been excited about music. And by the looks of things the Ninja Tune and Valeo chaps are pretty giddy about it too:

After 3 EPs showcasing the different sides of his new musical project, Poirier is releasing his concept album with an additional bonus disc on Ninja Tune for a total of 28 tracks with vocals by Burro Banton, YT, Face-T, MC Zulu, Warrior Queen and remixes by Sticky, Douster, Wildlife!, Uproot Andy and more. Running High is already available in Japan and Poirier’s home country Canada, but it’s about to come out in Europe and in the US (release & tour dates below). This album is a unique blend of electronic and Caribbean music that will satisfy the heads and the dancers (think soca-dancehall meets 90′s techno and bass). A brand new video translates the leftfield party vibe of the Montreal-based DJ/producer.
