Happy House

One of 2008's best releases (in my opinion), courtesy of DFA's John MacLean (The Juan MacLean). Such a nice clean dose of classic house piano chords and disco lovin' vocals.

Everyone should have this song in their life/hard drive.

Peep & buy the release here.

Check the b-side Lee Douglas remix of the song here.

And while on the above site, grab "The Twelves - Be My Crush (The Juan MacLean's B-LIVE Rio Mix)" at this page.

And look out for MacLean's "The Future Will Come" album, due for release later this year.

Oh, Cesaria

I absolutely love this. Maybe due to my obsession with Evora's voice, or the Cuban sound in general. Maybe Carl Craig's handclaps and subtle builds did me in. Maybe all of the above?

Controllerism?

CLIPSE concert tonight!

We got the Virginia homies Malice & Pusha T in the house tonight. Doors are at an early 7:30pm, some $25 advance tix are still left (I believe), and if the boys throw down like last time around, you'll shank yourself if you miss the shit.

Bump to dis

Has Bart B More ever had his hands in anything that wasn't legit?

The superior quality and mastered version of Benzi & Plain Pat's Kanye mixtape dropped the other day. It includes the "Love Lockdown" edit by good homie Tom Wrecks (who was recently interviewed by FormatMag, regarding Kanye's public praise of his version), as well as works by a slew of friends (peep the remix credentials).

Straight Goods presents: FRENZY - Mixed by Drastik

WE ARE FINALLY RELEASING THE MIX!!!

After countless manhours and sleepless nights, Drastik has finally escaped his cocoon (that is his room) and agreed to release his newest mix. The only thing more painful than the process was the sitting on it once completed.

Much like the name and cover art suggest, the hour long compilation is a straight up genre-hopping rollercoaster ride. All in proper flow and stride, the collection embraces Drastik's favourite sounds of past and present - from classic intros, short vocal samples, and single guitar riff loops, to current dancefloor heaters, blends, and synth-infused bangers. With a turntablist approach to cuts, drops, and track transitions... this musical ride showcases the often forgotten fundamental methods of molding countless sounds (without having to rely on software galore).

The Straight Goods camp is pleased to present:
