Coldplay x Buena Vista Social Club

Anything Buena Vista related gets me. My dad has always been all about the Cuban sound, so I've grown to love talents such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, & Compay Segundo. The same type of appreciation that I have for "Barefoot Diva" Cesaria Evora.

Bloc Party x Herve & Flosstradamus

Bloc Party's new "Mercury" (music video back here) getting some love from UK's Herve & Chi-town duo Flosstradamus. Both edits bang well.

Rhymefest ft. Chamillionaire & Jadakiss - What's Up

- I love Rhymefest (props to Ronson for Allido-ing him up with Wale).

- I like Chamillionaire 'cause I've always found he kinda looks like a dog (am I the only one who sees it?).

- I like Jada 'cause he used to get shit on by everyone (note: 40% of NYC + Beanie Sigel + 50 Cent + Bill O'Reilly = everyone).

- I love Aladdinesque beats. I'm all 'bout em.

- I like fun facts.

- Fun fact: Jada got robbed by Gucci Mane a few years back.

Keep an ear out for him, peoples.

Grandtheft heat

Sunday night was mad messy. The Redbull Flugtag Competition afterparty had homies Raph & Aaron (Team Canada) sharing the tables with fellow EH! Team member Illo. It was at a huge venue that, when not booked for concerts or special events, only opens its doors Saturday nights for the uber-tanned top40 house bottle service loving peeps. The inter-club connected block party with the 2 neighbouring venues mixed the crowd up and had their usual clientele wylin' out to hipsterrific dancefloor ragers. The familiar fam (Redbull reps, Jokers of the Scene, & close friends) ended up crowding the stage and almost shattering it from perfectly timed group jumping. Bigups to Illo for passing the mic & letting me splurge my inner reggae self with drunken Red Rat lyrics. Big sorry to Gaby for hitting her in the face with a speaker & making her head bleed.

Here are a few of Aaron's (DJ Grandtheft) joints:
