You'll never hear this song at a club, but it fits the current snowfall outside my window. The track is by Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini. She's the girl that subbed in for Bjork (who stepped aside due to pregnancy) and sang the closing "Gollum's Song" of the 2nd Lord of the Rings movie (The Two Towers). She also wrote two #1 hits for Kylie Minogue, been the vocal backing behind Paul Oakenfold's work, and toured with peeps such as Sting, Moby, and Dido (remember "Thank You", or Eminem's sample of it in "Stan"?).

Santogold, remixed

I could swear I had the TEPR remix of Santogold's "Say Aha" up here about 6-7 months ago. No such post to be found though, how weird. Anyways... that edit still remains my favourite - although the recently dropped Tom Neville version is a very close 2nd.

YO INTERNET POLICE: if that post disappearance is due to copyright/release issues, I provided my email (AwkwardProps@gmail.com) on the right for just that purpose. Holler and I'll replace the downloads with stream and purchase links.

Who Forgot About Dre?

Jesus, I know I pretty much did. When was the last time someone fucked with this song?

The '96 original:

Bizzare Inc. x Drastik & NDN

Pic by Le Champion du Monde

Pat came over yesterday to take some pics for the cover art of his upcoming "Frenzy" mix (dropping mad soon, keep your ears peeled), but we just ended up spending most of the time watching the Comedy Network and throwing tracks back and forth.

His latest edit (made alongside good friend DJ NDN) is a dancefloor heater of the all too familiar Bizzare Inc. classic "I'm Gonna Get You Baby". The original is one he plays out often, but slow bpm and lack of powerful drums hindered it's speaker exposure after 11-11:30pm. Now, infused with some piano fun and a powerful b-more backbeat, the joint is skewed to fit sweaty peak-time dancefloors.

Emynd x Young Chris

This Philly club anthem is a collaborate effort between Emynd (of Crossfaded Bacon, with past releases with labels Unruly, Mad Decent, Flamin Hotz, & Equinox) and 25yr old Rocafella + Def Jam recording artist, Young Chris. Bangs haaaaard.
