Four man, Philly meets N.Y.C. crew, Tigersapien, have a sexy sleazy tune in ‘God Knows’. The sacrilege is awesome, and so is the supreme remix production of Parisian producer Kolt13. Tigersapien’s vocals are admittedly on the emo-pop tip with a hint of whine (in the best of ways, like, say, The Faint), but I love the cockiness of it all, and I’ll tell you what, my lady friends do too! Their crossover appeal is high and the “band to watch” label is already being thrown around the blogosphere quite a bit. Enjoy this dirty love song about the truths of “hookin’ up”. This one is for you boo.

The Tigersapiens made some waves in January with the tune ‘Youth & Vitality’, particularly as remixed by N.Y. boys, Designer Drugs. The original and the remix are both rather tasty and have that same sexy swaggar.

Here’s another original production that i can really bounce around to.

The originals above are just a pinch of hottness taken from their EP released in January. The EP is for sale on iTunes and well worth yr duckets. And, I do believe these boys have a winning gimmick, wearing fuzzy tiger heads for press shots. I hope they sound as good live and keep the tiger head and champagne pourin’ on tits image rollin’ along.

Before we go, let’s bring the focus back to producer Kolt13, who’s intricate production values are producing some extraordinary things for not only Tigersapien, but others, including this rework of up and coming hip-hop super-producers, Ohio’s The Kickdrums.

Feelin’ Messinian! While archaeologists (and Google users) may know Messinian to be the last age of the Miocene epoch, everyday junglists know rapper J Messinian as MC from the mighty mighty Planet of the Drums crew alongside Dieselboy, AK 1200 and Dara. House heads know him for his Beatport-friendly tunes with Hatiras & DJ Dan. And more still, blog-house electro heads will surely recognize his tune ‘Throw It Away’ as remixed by Designer Drugs. I’d like to introduce you to another side of the known “rave rapper”. Meet Our Lady Fatima (a reference a religious story some may recognize), the newest facet of Messinian that takes a decidedly post-punk approach, reminiscent of the music of his childhood and adolescence (born in ‘79, y’all). And here’s the cool part—more than just sentimental explorations—he’s making things that sound contemporary and just plain good—enough so to have 10 cuts in heavy rotation at my house. Here’s a few:

Damn, remember how we was kinda post-punk blog at one point? Remember ‘New Wave Tuesdays’? Thanks Messinian for helping us get back to our roots! Lo-fi moody dark music 4 evar! The Our Lady Fatima project is all Messinian singing and producing, with one Jason Craveiro joining to produce and play keys at future shows.

Of course, Messinian is known for being a damn fine rapper and ain’t nathin’ changed. For his upcoming ‘Vampire Hustle’ album and projects on his fledgling label, Flash Art Records, distributed through INgrooves/Universal, he’s enlisted some of his buddies like The Enemy (a.k.a. Treasure Fingers), Toxic Avenger, Jayvon, Cardiff Giants, Life After 1984, our MTSC residential DJs True Pseudo and even the late-great Disco D—big fat pimp, dick stay hard, never get limp! Messinian was recoding an album with D at the time of his death, this is one of the tunes that was made:

Whew! You’ve got the sampler pack that doesn’t even include his work as We Don’t Sleep, which is a live thing where he goes through a dozen genres of music in about 45 minutes! Dood is wild. He’s the gulliest MFer with an art degree I know.

Have some quality time with Messinian over at Rockthedub.com which has a nice lengthy interview with our boy.

Tonight: Portland, you can catch Messinian playing with Klever. Tomorrow: the world! Check Messinian’s MySpace tour page for info.
