My Club Champ EP has been selling very well over the past few weeks and is currently the top selling track on Turntablelab so thanks to everyone for all the support!! If you missed out on it, you didn’t actually miss out on it because it’s obviously still available a variety of places. Click above to cop it! Don’t forget to check low-quality snippets here.
What can I say about this? First of all, it’s mostly useless for most of us, but it’s fucking awesome and I love it. And I made it in about an hour so if it’s sloppy, my bad. But it’s fucking awesome. And it’s fucking DEAD KENNEDY’s and SYNTHETIC SUBSTITUTION. Can you really hate on that? Anyway, play this shit if white people come to your club and let me know if anybody fights.
I played a really fun party in LA this past weekend playing a really wide variety of shit (as usual) from Bmore to mainstream House to Dirty South classics. A fairly good 5 minute portion of my rap set was captured on da youtube machine for posterity as well as 2 minutes of Club (and embarassing behind-the-tables dancing by yours truly). Oh well.
Sound quality is surprisingly good. Dark as fuck up in there but it was jumping. Big up to THEE MIKE B and them for hosting the young bol at their banging downtown party MORE ON THE FLOOR!
My new track from the MCBU Vinyl that Flamin Hotz is so graciously putting out in support of this epic party popping off at the Paradox in Bmore on Friday July 17th. Cop your tickets now!
Double L from In Ya Bloodclot Face and homie El-P (both from G13 Sound) have put together their yearly collection of Soca and Dancehall tunes. Go get it while we finish up our perpetually late 1st & 15th Mix!
Friday @ the Barbary is THE BOUNCE w/ Emynd & Bo Bliz! Open Bar from 9-11 while playing skate videos! Then, your favorite party music from Hip-Hop bangers to New Jack Swing to Dancehall to Bmore to some good ol’ fashion Funk/Soul to Disco.

Release Info:
“The Club Champ EP” is Emynd‘s newest digital-only EP of exclusive Club and Dance anthems that showcase his forward thinking approach of uniquely combining his vast influences, infusing songs with elements of Hip-Hop, House, Baltimore Club, and New Orleans Bounce. On the title track “The Club Champ,” Emynd digs deep into his Hip Hop breakbeat background, producing an energetic Bmore influenced banger that thumps with heavy organs and smashing kick drums. While Scott Matelic‘s remix of the track adds various twists and turns that recontextualize the vibe effortlessly, premier New Orleans producer Peacachoo‘s Bounce remix completely deconstructs the song, transforming it into an entirely new Bounce anthem that’ll rattle the bassbins from the Bayou to Bass Music parties everywhere. Rounding out the release are the tumbling “Triggerman” bells on “Hot Down Here,” the NY House influenced “Okay! What’s Up!” and “Hold It Down 2009” — a track originally featured exclusively on the Do It To It Volume 2 Vinyl release alongside work from heavyweights Nadastrom, Bird Peterson, and Tittsworth. (“Hold it Down 2009” is Emynd’s updated re-working of the classic 2 Bad Mice song “Hold It Down”) Already supported by some of the biggest DJs in the world from Diplo to Sinden to Dave Nada, it’s another sure fire, champion sound release!
Today I’ve upped 320 MP3s for the internets to download of Scott Matelic‘s great remix of the title track, and my “Hold It Down 2009.” Comments and feedback appreciated as always and thanks for the support!
Big homies Brick Bandits just released this mixtape with vocalist Bleszt and it’s a really dope combination of Club with Rap and R&B. Check it out on the Mad Decent blog.
