L.A. it girls, Marylouise Pels and Vanessa “Night-Moves” Giovacchini are POSSO the DJ, and what they’ve whipped up below is a mix of posh-lounge-eclectic sound. It’s electronica, club, indie, R&B and rap all squeezed into tight designer jeans—with spats on the feet. Yes spats, because POSSO the DJ, is POSSO the SPAT by day—professional spat designers. You didn’t see that coming.
Now, you didn’t see this coming either. Pointer Sisters segue into some Khia, “lick it now, lick it good”?! What?! OMFG.

The Black Ghosts - Someway Through This (Dir. Paulinho Caruso)
London’s The Black Ghosts are what’s right with music today. We are excited to be collaborating with The Black Ghosts and IAMSOUND Records to bring to you, a series of music videos featuring The Black Ghosts music, made by talented filmmakers. Get your stream on!
Over the next two months, Missingtoof and our bigger bro, Big Stereo, will be debuting new videos from The Black Ghosts every Monday (alternating between our site and theirs). This will be building up to The Black Ghosts debut self-titled release on July 8th! I know I’m excited. Will the record be this generation’s “The Sounds of Silence” with a bassline? Perhaps! I’m very optimistic.
We typically avoid using press-release information verbatim, but the sentence explaining the video above can’t be improved on: “An ordinary day in the life of a gay couple of thieves with relationship problems.” The video is directed by young Brazilian film maker, Paulinho Caruso.
The next video, for the single, ‘Anyway You Choose To Give It’, will be premiered next Monday, May 12th, on Big Stereo (it alternates, get it?).

Currently on tour through the US with Thunderheist, as part of the Colt 45/VICE Tour, The Black Ghosts whirlwind through Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York City all this week (RSVP here!) before returning to shows in Europe and Japan. Full tour information on The Black Ghosts MySpace tour page.
Currently on tour, Chi-town’s Flosstradamus take some time out of their busy schedule tell us what they are up to:
What’s up Flosstradamus! First off, introduce yourselves.
Hello Bloggers and friends! We’re Flosstradamus! We’re two guys from Chicago who DJ a LOT and sometimes make a remix or two here and there.
How’d you guys come up with the name ‘Flosstradamus’?
Curt and I were djing in my room one night when he played a Lil’ Jon record on 45 and it got me so hyped that I took the record off the turntable and broke it over Curt’s head and knocked him out and when he woke up he told me of all these visions he had about us becoming a DJ MEGA GROUP and playing music for kids who love the party as much as us all over the world and together at the same time we looked into each others eyes and said… Flosstradamus.
When did you guys start DJing/producing music?
Curt started about 9 years ago and I started about 7 years ago.
How would you describe your style?
Fun. Honestly we started out throwing parties in Chicago because we wanted to give our friends a place to go and dance without having to worry about feeling weird, or judged, or looked at for the way they dressed… i.e. not a club. It’s always been about giving our people a
place to go have fun for cheap.
What are some of your influences musically?
Right now it’s our friends man… Chicago, Kid Sister, Cool Kids, A-Trak, Chromeo, Yuksek, Treasure Fingers… lots of people are killing it and they all seem to be really cool too so it works out. Cajmere [Green Velvet] has always been a huge influence personally, even though he’s super Christian now which is a bit weird, dude has HITS. Would love to work with him.
Curt, talk about your Flossy FX sampler. What’s it all about?
Flossy FX is a little “stand alone” application I designed to play sound fx, vocal drops, or any audio file along with Serato. I designed it when money was tight for us. I was going to purchase a sampler to use in our sets to play the “Flosstradamus” robot sample along with a few air horns and other things to heighten the night. Me being a cheapskate and a nerd I figured out a way to do the same thing with the program I designed. What it does is it stays on top of Serato when we DJ. It has a row of buttons on it that you can use to drag and drop any file to mp3, wav, aif. Once you drag and drop the file onto the button, you can either click the button or press the key on your keyboard that corresponds to that button. There are other features in the app that allow you to let the whole sample play from beginning to end, or as long as you keep the button pressed, or layer samples.
Once we finish version 2, I will have it up on our new website I’m designing. We will give it away for free with a donation. Eventually I would like to have Serato pick up on this feature. I also have a huge grocery list of features I would like to work with Serato on. I know that some how DJ AM was able to get his own version of Serato made. Maybe we could have our own version of Serato. You know, for the ‘hipster’ DJ crowd!? Maybe even our own release that has special colored vinyl? I would also like to be able to integrate MIDI so i could add cowbells drums etc into more of a live performance with Serato.
What does 2008 hold for Flosstradamus? Any future collabos we can look forward to?
Our album is going to drop this year. We’ve been talking about it forever, but it’s actually starting to look like it’s really going to happen which is exciting to say the least. The whole album is going to be based around some serious collaborations… it’s all teamwork man! We wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for the help of all our people, so we’re going to return the favor and put them all on our record.
Any last words?
The only two that matter right now… Chicago and Illinois.
Hooray, Ed Banger Records mixtape series is on the eve of their third installment ‘Ed Rec Vol III’. To get y’all salivating for the May 26th release date/chow down, Feadz serves up this teaser mix.
Drooling, now? I’d like to thank Murs, whos verse drops right in the beginning repping “L.A.” and “blogs” and *ahem* “hipsters”. He must be talking about us right? How many other weblogs in the city holding it down like ‘Toof! Not many!
Ok, so I posted this a couple days ago with a truncated mp3. Sorriez everybody! Please make sure you download again to get it legit!
Los Angeles based Guns’n'Bombs are a win. Signed to French label en vogue, Kitsune. They are first-rate producers, arena-worthy DJs and the self-proclaimed “Lords of Blogtown” (rightfully so!).
Fresh off their US tour supporting German electro/techno maestros Digitalism, G’n'B have laced us up with this recent live recording from a few months back, in December, at Rennes, France’s premier 3-day indie music festival, TransMusicales. The mix is raw-fresh with a little old school Chicago house (Armando), little tecktonik (Dirty South), little indie dance rock (Muscles)… A little of this, a little of that—all banger.
Tracklist:
The Teenagers - Homecoming (Guns’n'Bombs 1996 XTC Rmx)
L.A.’s Philthy B wants to be your favorite DJ. Not long ago, the electro-phenom Villains were three—but now they are two, and Philthy B, former Villain, walks alone on this 46 minute mix, ‘It May B Durty but Luv the Jurny’. It’s similar to the skillful Villains - Vol. 1 Featuring Whiskey Pete mix we dropped on y’all last year, but this one has a little more gutter club thumping in the guts.
Also you should know, Philthy B has now teamed up with SF-come-LA electro-houser DJ Farron on the new project After Midnight. More on that in the future, but for now, dip into this. It’s some club, some electro, some dubstep, some hip hop—All good. This mixtape has been in my stacks for a minute, but the playlist isn’t spoiled. There’s dance left in it, so get dancing!

Philly representer, Nate Day, comes correct on his new “Everywhere LA is 30 Minutes” mix. Nate Day recently moved to LA and the title is a keen observation of life in a new place. Given this truth, the runtime of this mix is just perfect for the ride. It’s my current soundtrack for dancing in traffic. Get yr swerve on. It’s eclectic. It’s hectic. It’s dope.

Philly kids will know Nate Day from his years sharing the bill with some of Drum & Bass and Bmore/Club’s biggest names. LA heads might know him from his LOOSE party alongside Wendy City. Strangers to DJ Nate Day can see him next Thursday in Los Angeles at Fever, located at Temporary Spaces and headed up by DJ C-Town of the Anthem Magazine posse. G’times.
Dance party time! Santa Barbara’s DJ Magneto and Montreal QB’s DJ Mayday come with a hodgepodge of club jams, flawlessly moving from house to Bmore, to electro, to hip hop, to jungle, to dubstep, to electro to friggin’ Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins. Trust me on this one—the stew is good.
You’ll notice guest intro from Portland’s Spinnaface (dude’s got a spinner…for his face!), and some hype party raps and drops from L.A.’s Whiskey Pete (whom you should remember from the Villains ‘Vol. 1′ Mix which we unleashed on the world last year) alongside MC Dino (arguably one of the America’s best jungle MCs crosses over to the neonside).

Like you, we have girlfriends, ex-girlfriends, stalkees, stalkers, parents, teachers, taxes, bosses, bills and probation officers that sometimes eat up way more time than we would like. Which leads to our sometimes incommunicado status. We apologize. Real life sucks. The internet is way better.
Now that that’s out of the way, in our absence we got a lot done. We sponsored a few showcases at SXSW, djayed a few gigs around town including one with The Rapture, we got interviewed in BPM, Kittens f.k.a. ‘Bumpsdick’ made a new Missingtoof logo (which you can see in the image above) and our boy Basura laid down this brand new Official Missingtoof Mix in hopes that y’all will forgive us for being mad M.I.A.
Without further ado we present The March Toof Mix.
