Sorry, y’all I’m in France so I haven’t had a chance to tag this properly or give it a proper 1st & 15th cover design, but the music is more important anyway, right? This week I’m very proud to host my man Meistro’s second installment of his very good Crab Chips & Lake Trout series which is, as he describes as a mix where each “track was either produced (or remixed) by a Baltimore artist. It is not an attempt at a “best of,” just a mix of tracks that represent the diversity of the Baltimore sound — new and old (although mostly from the past five years or so). Vocal joints, gospel, club bangers, etc. Hope you dig it!” It’s always nice to showcase the diversity found in Baltimore (it aint ALL just Club music out there!) and Meistro does a great job here. We love this mix and hope you do as well! Comments and thoughts always welcome!

The first installment of Crab Chips & Lake Trout is posted after the jump as well!

Wale f/ Lady Gaga – Chillin’ (SKRATCH BASTID REMIX)

June 11, 2009 / / No comments

Another “Chillin”‘remix that’s way better than the horrendous OG.

Wale f/ Lady Gaga – Chillin’ (SKRATCH BASTID REMIX) from Skratch Bastid on Vimeo.

My man Skratch Bastid on his excellent remix:

For my latest mixtape, “110%”, I decided to remix Wale’s first major label single “Chillin” f/ Lady Gaga. For the remix, I wanted to go with something more organic to make it different than the 808- & synth-heavy original. To keep it DC, I sampled a break from go-go band Trouble Funk’s “Let’s Get Small”, which Boogie Down Productions used on their classic “Criminal Minded”. From there, I layered 2 other breaks that BDP used in that song (Isaac Hayes’ “Breakthrough” and Syl Johnson’s “Different Strokes”) and added some more samples and loops to accompany certain lines that Wale raps. The result is an uptempo, mega-mix style remix, suitable for the clubs, the jeeps, the streets, bar mitzvahs, weddings and ipods. 110%!

You can download the track right HERE!

Download the track at skratchbastid.com, and check out the mix on June 12th.

Britney Spears “If U Seek Amy (U-Tern Remix)”

June 9, 2009 / / 3 comments

Such a great, rich Disco remix of a Britney Spears song I’ve never heard before by one of my favorite producers U-Tern who has probably the best logo I’ve ever seen. Production value on this track is really high all around: drums are crisp and strong; piano sits well in the mix and is a great, simple chord progression; bassline grooves; and of course the strings. I know calling strings “lush” is the most cliché thing you can possibly say about them, but really, it’s the perfect word here. Great music.

UK folks can cop it on iTunes. Don’t know where else it’s available, but never forget about good ol’ google!

Breadth of Autotune

June 9, 2009 / / No comments

So while Twitter is going nuts about a completely mediocre rap song with a cool beat (“D.O.A.”), big homie Brandon from 41yo.com posted a really good piece about interesting uses of Autotune on the Village Voice blog. Go check it out. In the mean time, I’ve been killing Twitter with a shitload of horrible jokes about Autotune making diss songs back at Jay-Z. Follow my ass if you ain’t following me yet.

This month’s mix comes live and direct from big homie Scottie B who rocked with us live at Silk City Sunday May 24th. He keeps it pretty standard with some classic Bmore shit and then moves into some hood anthem rap shit. Really smooth and just a fun mix. Scottie B is the consummate professional DJ. He kills every single crowd. Really psyched he let us post this. Only wish we had a mic set up so you could hear the crowd chanting along to all the words as he drops the volume for them to sing along (I placed air horns over the blank spaces ’cause they sound weird without drunk folks singing along).

Thoughts and comments welcome as always!

Cash Money Throwback

June 4, 2009 / / One comment

I saw Emynd the other day and he’s like “you know what you haven’t done in a long time? Blogged at Crossfaded Bacon.” I was like “true.” What’s sad for him is that I know that what I’m about to post is not what he had in mind, and I legitimately tried to avoid posting it even though this song is now my ringtone, was the name of the last Quizzo team I was on, and I keep randomly blurting out its lyrics such as “James Bond, Jackie Chan, and that bitch MacGuyver,” like I have some sort of NOLA Tourette’s. My song for the summer is officially “#1 Stunna” by The Big Tymers.

I feel totally justified posting this throwback because of today’s news that Freeway is signing with Cash Money. I really don’t know exactly what that means – it makes me a little uncomfortable to be honest – but I must be psychic because for the past week I’ve been digging in Cash Money’s crates from Juvenile to the Big Tymers and back. The label as a whole is an even mixed bag of really fun tracks, misogynistic lyrics that sound intentionally ridiculous, and well-played boasting that makes me forget that I’m pushing a corny Camry if I turn it up loud enough. “#1 Stunna,” from 2000 was also on The Original Kings of Comedy soundtrack, which is why this video features Steve Harvey n’em.

New Emynd Track on Top Billin Volume 3

May 27, 2009 / / No comments

From the Top Billin Website:

The third and final episode in the ‘Tales’ saga has been a long time coming and here it finally is. The EP is our favorite so far as we got 3 very special tracks from our international friends and another 3 bangers from within our Helsinki crew.

Philly’s very own Emynd has been a Top Billin affiliate for a while and we’re super happy to have him on this EP. ‘What About Tomorrow’ builds on a timeless 80’s classic, starting off with club style chops and soon progressing into housier territory. This one’s for the ladies, no doubt. Emynd also killed it at our club night here, so go ahead and book him.

Go here to read about the release and download a mix with snippets. Gonna be a dooooooooooooope record! Available now exlcusively RIGHT HERE! GO COP IT

Pryda “Reeperbahn” / Ying Yang Twins “Wild Out” (Emynd Blend)

May 24, 2009 / / One comment

LUNCH BREAK BEATS #16:

Pryda “Reeperbahn” / Ying Yang Twins “Wild Out” (Emynd Blend)



 Emynd’s Lunch Break Beats is a series of club-friendly blends, edits, or beats Emynd produced on his laptop (usually while sitting in his car on some random side street in Wilmington, D-ware just after eating his WaWa lunch) while on his lunch break at his 9 to 5.

The whole series can be found here.

Another modern day Hip-House blend with some good ol’ fashioned Swedish House and Crunk vocals blended on top. If you’ve been playing “Reeperbahn” in the club, you already know it’s a huge song. The Ying Yang Twins vocals really work on top and add a lot of energy to it for crowds who aren’t really ready for full on House shit. Thoughts and comments appreciated as always!
