It’s always nice when things we like collide! This is like some MFin’ rainbow sprinkles & butterscotch on my strawberry frogurt right here!
What it is, is, N.Y. posse, Leif (once PalmsOut representer) doing a workover of Glass Candy’s homage to 5th Ward gangsters, Geto Boys, on the track, ‘Geto Boys’. It’s got that Geto Boys ‘Mind Playin’ Tricks on Me’ sample that’s forever fresh.

And since we haven’t had a wholly Leif-centric post since his ‘Flossy Bounce’ EP years ago, let’s keep good ch00nz coming with these: The track ‘Black Magic’ & remixes from last year’s ‘Black Magic Promo EP’. Nice work in the original & in the remixes from Swedish houser The Touch with the haunting vocals of Swedish singer Lina and the other from fellow New Yorkers, Stay High that takes a fidget/dubstepped approach.

Keeping the good stuff coming, I must say I’m quite partial to this cover of Stockholm’s finest siren, Lykke Li. Leif’s voice is so far apart from Lykke Li’s—& the vibe is so different—yet it works just the same. An interesting take:

And finishing up with another gem that’s been sitting on in the ol’ inbox. One from Brooklyn’s Neon Coyote, a remix of Leif’s ‘Timbs’.

Purchase last year’s ‘Black Magic EP’, the sixth release on blog-gone-label, Palms Out Records, through Beatport.com. And sit tight for Leif’s soon-to-be-released next solo EP, as well as and EP with his band Kids in the Garden, the reincarnation of the late, Aries Noise.
