MP3: Villains - Second Offense (feat. Whiskey Pete & OBO)

In other big news, Villains’ remix of Shwayze’s ‘Buzzin” is getting some major airplay. This, of course, is due to Shwayze’s new reality show for the MTV network. The Villains remix is unanimously accepted as the best of the bunch, an accomplishment with other solid efforts by Skeet Skeet, Classixx & AC Slater. Swayze’s DJ Skeet Skeet hooked up the premier of this mix a while back, but in case you missed it:

Get over to our humble host Scion for details and RSVP. Beyond that, Villains hit the road with Classixx next month, see Villains tour page for more info.

Shwayze: ‘Buzzin’ (feat. Cisco Adler) (Villains Remix v.2)’

shwayze Shwayze: Buzzin (feat. Cisco Adler) (Villains Remix v.2)

Malibu’s resident indie-rap hero, Shwayze built a rep writing earnest raps and putting it down at live shows. His hustle got him noticed by former Geffen president and current Interscope imprint, Suretone president, Jordan Schur. The standout cut, ‘Buzzin” enlists help from friend, celeb., Whitestarr rocker and son of Lou Alder, Cisco Alder. Cisco delivers the winning hook on ‘Buzzin”.

Enter Villains, you know the name, you know how they get down (or, at least, you should). So, out went the acoustic rock baseline found in the original and in drops the quantized-drum electro craziness. The production is supreme, as per usual.

Shwayze will be a part of the Vans’ Warped Tour this summer, amoung other dates. Get knowin’ at Shwayze’s MySpace tour calendar.

L.A. badguys, Villains are doing big things since their introduction just two months ago. Regular hometown heroes they are (leave it to L.A. to make the Villians our heroes).

Villains are a hot commodity in ‘08. They’re entering the ranks of globetrotting talent, radio mixshow champs (see above) and making the “best of” from here to Spin Magazine which is calling ‘Thrilla’ one of the few “songs you need to download now!” for February. You’ve downloaded this jam before, right? But in the chance you haven’t, get it here. Major!

Villains did this remix for S.D. electro-rockers Buddy Akai recently and we’re all about it. More from Buddy Akai from us shortly, but let this peak your interest:

Daft Punk - Around the World (Villains’ More Cowbell DJ Edit)

villains3 Daft Punk - Around the World (Villains More Cowbell DJ Edit)

As you’ve probably noticed if you’ve been here recently, we’re very excited about Villains.

Who better than than three young, but experienced, audio engineers to usher in the the new era of Los Angeles and US Electro sound? You’ve heard their remix of Bloc Party and their finesse of Michael Jackson samples. So what’s next? The acid test, it seems, in this electronic music niché is the Daft Punk remix—they’re never in short supply and it seems that every would-be producer has one in their répertoire. For this benchmark of production ability, the Villains pass with flying colors, while the majority turn out as dull as alkaline.


MP3: Daft Punk - Around the World (Villains’ More Cowbell DJ Edit)

Promoters—be smart—get Villains on your flyers, ASAP! DJs—be smart—Serato up these cuts tonight! Daft Punk——come holler at your boys!

Villains - Vol. 1, Featuring Whiskey Pete (Mix)

villains2 Villains - Vol. 1, Featuring Whiskey Pete (Mix)

Villains have officially taken over the blogger’nets. Starting with yrs truly, the villany spread to Good Weather for Airstirkes, BlocParty.net and on down the line.

As promised in the introduction earlier this month, more Villains coming at you. Today we have their first mix, ‘Vol. 1′ for your speakers. So, crank ‘em up and get an earful of this electro set that the Villains “can almost call … a ‘classic’ mix wrapping up what was hot for 2007″.

This mix is atypical for an electro set for two reasons: First, it has an emcee, LA’s own D’n'B champ, Whiskey Pete, who spikes the beat-punch with a few shots of party raps. Second, the Villains can cut a mean record and they bring that turntabilsm to the table—or pair of turntables as it were.

‘Vol. 1′ is also one of the few places you’ll hear the mastered version of the Justice’s ‘DVNO’, LA Riots remix—that will be appearing on an upcoming Ed Banger EP.

villains Villains: Bloc Party Hunting for Witches Remix / Michael Jackson gets electro-fied on Thrilla

Villains are so very sinister. We’ve always kinda rooted for the bad guy, so we are loving these motherfuckers. Internet, say hello to the bad guy.

Villains hail from Los Angeles and roll tight with fellow bad men LA Riots—if that means anything to you—and it should (peep the LA Riots archive).

Now stop reading and listen to this Bloc Party remix:


MP3: Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches (Villains Electro-Banger Remix)

Dang! That song is a dastardly juggernaut! I loved that ‘Hunting for Witches’ RAC remix we put up in April and of course we loved the Crystal Castles one that we up’d later, but folks, I love this one. It’s a new favorite mix of a new(ish) Bloc Party classic!

Villains have also tore apart a Michael Jackson sample from ‘Thriller’ and made it their own—’Thrilla’. As Vincent Price said, “no mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller.” Bwahaha.


MP3: Villains - Thrilla

Another original that delivers only what the title promises:


MP3: Villains - Rock It

You like? Next week promise to have more from Villains. Same time, same channel. POW!

LA/OC heads, you lucky bastards, you can get the full experience and catch Villains DJ at Trust on Saturday (located at Proof Bar in Santa Ana) or at Tilt on Sunday (located at Jimmy’s Lounge in Los Angeles).
