It's the mickey fickey remix


My folks from the NYC DJ crew the Rub are about to release the third volume of their internet-platinum series, It's the Motherfucking Remix. They've been leaking songs from the project at a rate of one a day over at the Rub website and they just posted one I did.

I combined two records I love: the Ultramagnetic MCs' "Poppa Large" and Switch's "A Bit Patchy". Neither needs a bit of improving but I smushed them together because, well, that's how DJs do in the 2000 decade. I'm told it's been getting some run from the homies DJ Eleven and DJ mOma, among others. Now you can enjoy it, too.

I manifest plus resurrect



Trifle: "New Religion" (Dawn, 1970)

I was reminded of this song the other day when I heard it on Dr. Delay's REM Sleep psych mix. Delay is a Brooklyn producer/DJ who has made several great mixes over the past few years-- Psycrunk, in which he somehow managed to pull off a CD worth of psych and southern rap mash-ups, the Medium Rare tapes, which draw together loads of late-80s rap singles I wish I owned, and Rajaz Meter, which freaked funky Middle East and Indian sounds.

While I'm jocking, let me say that his Spoon remix is retardedly hot:

B.Cause of the wonderful things he does


I was trying to think of something cool and different to post and then over on Soulstrut, I saw that it was my homie DJ B.Cause's birthday and a light bulb went off.

This is a remix I did a while ago for a CD that didn't happen (or maybe I should say hasn't happened yet). It seems appropriate both cuz of the title/refrain and because B.Cause is kind of that dude when it comes to the crafty smush-togethers or whatever it is the kids are calling blends now.
