1/2ALIVE

A few months back Diplo posed an excellent question on the Mad Decent blog; ‘Why is Canada running game‘? Who knows?! But we’re not mad at our brothers & sisters to the north. 1/2ALIVE is just one of the many crews proving that Canada is not just America’s hat.

1/2Alive is composed of Tyler Fedchuk, My!Gay!Husband! & Tony X this crew wrecks shop on Van City every Friday night with their infamous night. Aside from bringing out big names in the game like Thunderheist, Krames & Digitalism to name a few, the boy can for user hold their own with their unique blends, edits & mashes. Peep game.

My! Gay! Husband! has CD with Paul Devro titled “Mixtapes Are For Losers” on Summer Lovers Unlimited, which has been sold out for a minute now. Bookmark the page and check back often for a re-release. Every Friday in Vancouver they pack them in like fresh dressed sardines. Go get sweaty.



Spank Rock & Benny Blanco are Bangers & Cash - Bitch

Spank Rock & Benny Blanco have delivered the fourth and final promo track off their forth coming Bangers & Cash album. It’s a three minute ditty dedicated to a “certain type of female”. I have a day job that I’m kinda sorta trying to keep, and I figure you guys might like to stay gainfully employed, so I’ve edited the cover art for the single.


MP3:  Spank Rock & Benny Blanco are Bangers and Cash - Bitch (NSFW)

All of your appetites should be adequately wet for the album’s release by now. If you haven’t been paying attention go get the previous three singles, ‘Loose‘, ‘B.O.O.T.A.Y.‘ & ‘Shake That‘. When you get home you can check out Spank Rock’s myspace to see the cover in all it’s nasty glory.



Dave Nada - Phat Bottom Girl (Dave Nada remix) [T&A Records]

Look out y’all. The sixth release from T&A (Tittsworth & Ayres)’s records has been unleashed! The newest newest 12″ is entitled ‘Kick Out The Jams’ EP & features Dave Nada, who is a hardcore band member turned premiere dj. The title track is a hyped up remix of MC5’s 1968 classic. But wrap your laptop speakers around the heater of a track that is “Phat Bottom Girl” (Queen/Ying Yang Twins).

Get your hands on the whole album at Turntable Lab before they sell out, which T&A releases are known to do.



Spank Rock & Benny Blanco are Bangers & Cash - Shake That

The mighty hip hop force that is Spank Rock has teamed up with 19 year Benny Blanco & traded in their Baltimore Orioles hats for some Miami Dolphin jerseys. The group is releasing a very 2 Live Crew inspired EP on October 9th.

I know you guys are all salivating waiting for that to drop. But lucky for you they’ll be releasing a new MP3 download each week on their MySpace page. Each song will be available for only 2 days, so if you missed “Shake That” last Thursday here it is:

Luke would be proud. Keep your hoes in check and you mouse locked on Spank Rock’s myspace page because like I said, the tracks will be droppin’ like panties once a week. We know you got Spank Rock’s debut album ‘YoYoYoYoYo’ but buy that shit again!



Missingtoof event with Curtis Vodka & Flufftronix in San Jose tonight!

Missingtoof is excited to bring Curtis Vodka & Flufftronix to the bay tonight for one of the first stops on their ‘Straight Outta Nowhere Tour’ through the US. It goes down tonight, Tuesday, July 24th, at the Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge in San Jose. It’s free before 11 with RSVP.

Curtis Vodka, hails from Anchorage Alaska but gets down official with the Baltimore Club / Bmore scene. Turntable Lab’s sellin’ the goods like his brand new mix CD, ‘I Just Fucked Your Girlfriend‘. They also got his prior, ‘Heavy Hittaz (Baltimore) EP‘ (split with Al Ripken Jr.). Here’s a sample:


MP3: Curtis Vodka - Hey Girl Part 2

Also, he had a Bmore club smasher last year with his debut release, ‘The Yeti Bounce EP‘ on Hollertronix label, Flamin Hotz. Get a whif of the product, but know that this product is sold out:


MP3: Curtis Vodka - Diamonds & Cream

Dude also does grips of unofficial remixes too, some you can find in our Curtis Vodka archive. Here’s another for the pile—a newer Ladytron remix of a not-so-new favorite:


MP3: Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch (Curtis Vodka Satanic Drum Version)

Flufftronix, reps Bloomington, Indiana where he throws the hella cool Electrocute Parties. Instead of tacking on the brand new mix he gave us, there will be a “sister post” immediately after this one to showcase his new ‘Summer Transit Insanity Mix’ (go to the post now). Also, go back and give another listen to his ‘Upbeat Remix’ of Uffie’s ‘First Love’ in the Flufftronix archive.

DJ Taj - Bamabounce - Wu-Tang Slide

By the amount of hits we got on Bird Peterson’s remix of Wu-Tang’s “Aint Nuthin’ To F’ Wit”, seems like you guys got mad love for the Wu. We don’t have any new tracks from the Killa Bee’s, but hopefully this electro-tech, b’more gem will appease your ipod’s thirst for Wu themed anthems.

The catchy vocals go ‘You wanna Wu-Tang, but you can’t Wu-tang better than me!’ If you aren’t sure how to ‘Wu-tang’ click this link to get learned (YouTube).

DJ TAJ - Wu-Tang Slide (Download)

The whole LP titled ‘Bambabounce!’ is completely sold out on juno but Turntablelab still has your back. You can also visit DJ Taj’s site for direct purchase & to listen to his new tracks.



Pase Rock - Lindsay Lohan’s Revenge

The most hilarious track of the day has got to be Pase Rock’s Lindsey Lohan’s Revenge (feat Spankrock & Santi White). They basically say her vajayjay looks like a baby rat & to put that stench trench back in her pocket. She really should hide it away, or at least give it a spit shine before she takes it out on a stroll.

Spank Rock - Bump (Pink Skull Remix)

Did Jaleel White (a.k.a. Steve Urkel) & Dave Coulier from Fullhouse give up making mediocre family television & combine forces to make some pretty awesome b-more, dancey/rap/rock fusion?

No.

It’s just Spank Rock.
But you gotta admit, those fools kinda look like them other fools.

Here’s a remix of the single ‘Bump’ from their 2006 ‘Yoyoyoyo’ album. They completely omit Jaleel– I mean, Naeem’s verse & let Amanda Blank woman-handle this track.

Check it.
