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)

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.

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

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

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)

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!

Diddy & Booman “Get Off”

I’m not sure how this slipped by my radar several years ago when it happened, but apparently several years back, Booman was comissioned to do an official remix for Mr. Locked In himself Diddy (aka the most annoying twitterer ever). The short version of the story is up in this 41yo.com post (which is an EXCELLENT resource for all things Bmore related). Also, go there to download Booman’s remix which is really really great!

I’ve made a shit load of remixes and blends over the past couple years that I play in the club really often, but I haven’t bothered to compile them in a listenable mix yet so I thought this would be a good chance to do so. So this mix is intended to be a bit of a showcase of some of the many blends I’ve done recently as well as a fun, listenable mix with some really dope joints. It starts off with a bunch of the Dance Music vs Hip-Hop Blends I’ve been doing recently and transitions pretty radically into some more dancehall oriented stuff. Hope you guys enjoy it! Also, I think most of the blends and remixes in this mix are available for download somewhere on the site so if there’s a jam you like, look around the site a bit and you should be able to find it!

Baltimore Club in the New Yorker

Not sure why SFJ hollered at my dumb ass to contribute some comments on Baltimore Club (possibly because he didn’t have a link to a more reliable source than me?) in his latest blog post, but I’m not about to turn down an opportunity to wax poetic about Baltimore Club Music… even if it’s controversial! Anyway, go read his piece and maybe hit us with some comments. Also, go support that DJ Sega CD. Shit bangs.

Big ups to everyone making Baltimore Club music… even if it sucks.

Emynd & Jess Jubilee “Shake Whut Ya Got!” Re-Up

The below was originally posted July 23, 2008, but I thought I’d give it a re-bump because people don’t check sidebars like they need to. This is a mix the fabolous Jess Jubilee and I did last summer. After playing in Montpellier in the South of France this weekend and hearing my man Raziek play a bunch of jams that made their way onto this mix, I was reminded of just how awesome this mix is. If you slept on it the first time, don’t sleep on it a second time!

This is as good a time as any to point out that big homie Jess Jubilee (who I did this mix with) finally got her website up and running. Go there now for music, press, tour dates and maybe (hopefully?) one day a picture gallery of CFB’s favorite jewish raver jawn.
