Flamin’ Hotz

Big ups to the bol Pocketknife who has had unbridled success after releasing the Tambourine Dream ep on Flamin Hotz. With a new production deal recently inked in the UK, he brought a brand new baby girl into this world and is still bangin out great mixes. This guy is making Great in 08 an understatement. Check the mix and interview below…

Much hyped Brooklyn based producer & dj Pocketknife aka Skooby Laposky caught the DJing bug when he befriended DJ Wolf (original 70s disco/deep house icon in Chicago) and then perfected his craft with Theo Parrish (Sound Signature) while they were in art school together. Production was then inevitable, dropping original joints as well as unique remixes of Lykke Li or Bruce Springsteen tracks.
Check out his exclusive Fairtilizer mix.
Plus an interview below!

What’s your mix about?
The mix I did for Fairtilizer is more of a sampler of the kind of tracks you would hear in one of my sets. I snuck in a Yeasayer remix I did that’ll be out on an art rock remix EP called “Canyon Dancing” this Halloween. The Lykki Li remix I recently posted on Fairtilizer was commissioned, but won’t be released. Enjoy!

What’s goin’ on in Pocketknife’s world right now? Heard you were doing big remixes lately.
Well, Tambourine Dream got Cousin Cole and I some attention. We ended up getting some representation and now we’ve got someone who coordinates official remixes for us. It’s cool to try our hand at reworking an established artist even if our versions don’t always see an official release. I’ve been busy this entire summer working on getting Tambourine Dream 2 closer to completion and of course finishing commissioned remixes. I’m also working on some original material that I hope to release early next year.

How’s Cousin Cole doing?
Cole is busy as usual. He’s working on a new club-oriented Flagrant Fowl EP, which will solely be his project. The main track on his EP has a crazy music video that accompanies it. I made up a dance for the song while we were in Sweden, which I perform in the video and it is hype! Cole’s also working on his share of remixes for Tambo D 2 and as always more new party tracks.

Yeasayer “Sunrise (Pocketknife’s Rise and $hine Remix)”
I loved this song the first time I heard it. I decided to beef it up a bit with some Pocketknife trademarks so I could play it in my sets. Keep the bearded indie world music thing going, guys!
