Flamin’ Hotz

We back at Medusa tomorrow with P.O.L. Style from Japan, Dirty South Joe and Gregzinho. Free all night. Club, baile funk and bass music blowing out speakers. We worldwide with this one.

So if you have ever gone out and a DJ has dropped a Baltimore Club set then you most likely have already heard a Dj Class track. Dude is responsible for probably the biggest Baltimore Club track “Tear Da Club Up” co/produced by Scottie B. The 12″ originally came out in 2000 on Unruly Records and has been a staple in almost ever single Club set I have heard since.

Here is dude doing it live at My Crew Be Unruly 7/18/2008

On a personal level this was the track that got me into Club music and was actually the first club record I ever bought on the Unruly Bootleg from DSJ at Aramands (RIP). I remember him going in the back to find me a copy of it. It was a couple years later I was down in Bmore and was able to cop the og 12″ with some other edits on it. But that’s how I found out Scottie B co produced that mark.

Anywho Dj Class has constantly been my fav Dj/Producer of Club since that day. Every Trip to Baltimore I have gone coping records he is the first name I drop. I even was able to get his first record on Son of Unruly Records with Come Quick See sample the Tupac track.

This whole rant is just to let you know that Dj Class got some new club heat out called I’m The Ish from an album about to drop on Unruly. Will have more details as they come but go to Unruly Online to get more info or just stay tuned.

For fans of the Tambourine Dream project go get the new Canyon Dancing Ep out by the very good people over at Flagrant Fowl. These two dudes are constantly killing it in the game and they sent me a copy of the new record and its freaking fire. Remixs include Liars, Patti Smith, Silver Apples, Yeasayer, Battles, Six Organs of Admittance, and Soft Circle receive that Flagrant flavor. Vinyl is pressed loud and sounds clean with that really nice attention to the mastering so its not a total barage of sound.

This is just another excelent record from two dudes who are constantly pushing the genre and putting out new records. Once again they take left field tracks and present a whole new take on them and reinterperte them for the dancefloor.

Can’t wait to drop these in the club…

Buy from TTL HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

Bummm bummm bumm but bummm bummm

oh shit….

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!

Guess who got some massive play on the new Kid Kameleon mixtape out of Berlin based Cock Rock Disco…

“Must Love Loops”

Kid Kameleon is a sort of witchdoctor on the one’s and two’s. He can mix every style of music flawlessly at any tempo with any sort of gear, blindfolded, without headphones, in zero-gravity, drunk and unconscious. Seriously, he’s THAT good. Now he’s made the ultimate B’more mix for CRD with more tracks crammed in than any other mix made in history. “Must Love Loops” is destined to be a classic so you had better get in on the action now.
