Steed Lord – Royal Ruffian (LAZRtag Remix) & Kosher Management Showcase

steedlord Steed Lord   Royal Ruffian (LAZRtag Remix) & Kosher Management Showcase

Iceland’s Steed Lord have big plans: A massive remix record that reworks the tracks of their release from late ‘08, ‘Truth Serum’. A record which produced some cool ditties like the original ‘New Crack City’ (video on Vimeo).

The remixes are part of the appropriately titled ‘The Truth Serum Remix Project’, which will be dropping this October on New Crack City Records (via Last Gang). For ‘The Truth Serum Remix Project’, in addition to Steed Lord remixing their own tunes, they’ve enlisted some major talent to help rework their music, such as, Crookers, DJ Mehdi, Mercury, Jack Beats, Sharkslayer, Russ Chimes, Hot Pink Delorean, Mustard Pimp, Tommie Sunshine, Klever, Nic Sarno, DJ Barletta, Vyle & that ain’t even the whole rollcall! Also on this crazy laundry list of talent is L.A. hometown hero’s LAZRtag who we’ve made you well aware. Yo dog, you herd it here first:

The Icelandic foursome Steed Lord have a new stateside stronghold in Los Angeles. To make their presence felt they’re bombing up Cali, starting with the Missingtoof approved Kosher Management Party, which will take place at Roxy on Sunset in West Hollywood, this upcoming Monday, September 28th. Full details and RSVP at Facebook. The show will feature Kosher Management artists Steed Lord and our boys Villains (who are making new great things on new horizons). Pre-sale tickets are available, but I’d just hit the door early ‘cuz it’s ticketbastard.

Jumping off the shoulders of the last post, we’ve got more brand new heat from Rochester’s Kill The Noise in the form of a remix of London-town R&B diva Estelle’s ‘American Boy’ with raps from Chicago’s finest Kanye West.

Chances are you’ve heard the original, seen the video on MTV or YouTube. Well, kill that noise and give this a spin:

This track has been mixed down a dozen times over. Compare that with these and make the call what you wanna throw down. Remixes from L.A. up-and-comers LAZRtag, the collaborative forces of Bmore hero Dave Nada and VA club kid Matt Nordstrom as Nadastorm, and Sydney’s Tenzin, who’s ‘American Boy’ remix made it to the #1 spot on Hype Machine via Hot Biscuits.

LAZRtag gives Rhianna’s ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ an electro bitchslap felt back to 1972.

lazrtag LAZRtag gives Rhiannas Dont Stop The Music an electro bitchslap felt back to 1972.

L.A.’s LAZRtag whom we introduced last month have taken on R&B pop superstar Rhianna for some hot remix love. This is where top 40 meets bottom frequency.

I love this track because it taps into a history of music: One of borrowing, sampling, reusing, reinterpreting—’Don’t Stop the Music’ employs Michael Jackson’s famous chant from his ‘Thriller‘ album 1983 single, ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’‘, which was in turn was nicked from Manu Dibango’s 1972 track, ‘Soul Makossa‘, widely regarded as the first (or among the first) disco record ever. This track is a snapshot of music culture today: LAZRtag recomposing a contemporary pop-princess’ track, who borrowed from the ’80s king of pop, who borrowed from the roots of disco, using Manu Dibango’s jazz and traditional Cameroonian music soil. How far we’ve come:

E’rybodys favorite electro thrashers, Crystal Castles, are hitting So. Cal. before taking an aeroplane to tour Europe. All this partying to promote their recent self-titled debut release. We’re stoked to have some some recent Crystal Castles tracks and remixes from L.A.’s LAZRtag (which is one part Luvtek, of ‘Do It At The Disco‘ mixtape fame and one part StellarDRV). LAZRtag have done nice ‘lectro’d up work of ‘Crimewave’, a track that can be fully credited to HEALTH and Crystal Castles as mash-up/remix, now remixed once again.

MP3: Crystal Castles – Good Times (FITFORUSE Edit)

Sample this album cut, ‘Courtship Dating’, a track that we controversially linked to Timbaland’s ‘AYO Technology’ last September. I guess that’s old news by now, so we’ve brought that post back (no longer contraband, we hope). What do you think?
