Always on some ol’ next shit, L.A.’s Royal Rumble come off with a properly executed cover of iconic Post-Punk and New Wave band, Adam & the Ants’s ‘Stand and Deliver’. The Rumble’s RussInABox handles the vocals.


MP3: Royal Rumble - Stand and Deliver (Adam and the Ants cover)

This cover is just one in a series of sixty (that’s right, 60!) new cover songs, served up free as part of Buffet Libre’s ‘Rewind 2′ project. Buffet Libre put the tracks up free last week and we’ve marinated in Buffet downloads ever since—Does this sound appetizing?: Dragonette covering ZZ Top. Frankmusik covering The Police, and Cryptonites remixing Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Those are just a tiny sample of the delectable tunes served up, right now, for free, at Buffet Libre. Go hungry. Dig in.

Royal Rumble also laced us up with something different—a mix in the minimal techno vein, although not in it’s purest form. Perhaps it’s faux minimal or “MnmLOL” as Royal Rumble have coined it.

Tracklist:

  1. Guy Gerber & Chaim - MySpace
  2. In Flagranti - Firmly Planted Memories
  3. Guido Schneider & Andre Galluzzi - Albertina
  4. Oliver Koletzki - Da Bleibt Er Ganz Cool
  5. Guy J - Under Pressure
  6. Oliver Huntemann - Real Love feat. Michael Skelton
  7. Andre Crom - Bodenturnen Dub
  8. Acid Girls - Palms (Joe and Will Ask? Remix)
  9. Stimming - Funkworm

Royal Rumble remixes Big Moves’ ‘Never Lose Sight’

Beverly Hills toughest streetgang, Royal Rumble grows a little more mature with their newest remix for L.A.’s indie-come-disco band, Big Moves. Big Moves get a big treatment of disco-house drum-sequences and breakdowns. Good source material makes for solid reinterpretations, so, of course, the victory is shared. Big Moves’ lyrics are turned into infections chants, backed by organic hand-claps and synth-heavy techno basslines. Even with all that and a bag of Chips Ahoy!, track retains its original and intended indie-disco-house charm.

As always, folks in L.A. can catch Royal Rumble at their Sunday night weekly, Sudden Death at Vine Bar in Hollywood. Good times—all wax; no laptops! Served up by the RR and Turntable Lab crew’s Blu Jemz, among others.

Get excited! More from the Los Angeles dwelling, six-armed party monster known as, Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble gang goes head up against another three-man team, ATL’s rapper clique, Supreeme. The results are so heeat—perhaps they wear backpacks, but it didn’t weigh them down a bit, as the ascended to the Warner Brothers Records ranks (wait, are major labels relevant anymore?). The remix grabs a sample from pioneering krautrock band Can’s 1974 track ‘Mother Upduff’. The end product is decidedly electro, but the raw materials are spanning genres.

Folks in L.A. can catch Royal Rumble at their Sunday night weekly, Sudden Death at Vine Bar in Hollywood. The rule is: No laptops and lots of classic tunes. Spun by Rumble and the other residents, Blu Jemz of Turntable Lab, DJ Pubes & Cosmic Kids (plus guests. This upcoming Sunday it’s Acid Girls). How sweet is that?

At this point you should be no stranger to L.A.’s Royal Rumble gang—the three-man no-holds-barred tag-team party posse.

I was having dinner with Dan Rumble, of RR fame, the other night when he told me he had the goods—a DJ friendly edit of Soulwax’s ‘Miserable Girl’ that takes the hypest elements of ‘Miserable girl’ and prolongs that feeling of electro-euphoria.


MP3: Soulwax - Miserable Girl (Royal Rumble Edit)

And ’cause this track was melodic and perfect to begin with, a rip from the original, the brilliant, Soulwax ‘Nite Versions’ 12″:

And lastly, something we’ve posted before, but damn if it doesn’t deserve one more go around—the Rumble’s remix of ‘Damn Girl’ by Kid Sister. Shit is dialtone, son! (’Cause it’s off the hook!).


MP3: Kid Sister - Damn Girl (Royal Rumble Hall of Fame Remix)

Besides being a no-holds-barred WWF Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Ultimate Warrior vs Hacksaw Jim Dougan slugfest, Royal Rumble is a raucous three-man gang of laptop DJs and producers from Los Angeles who are well posed to win that fashionable gold title belt, so to speak.

Here’s a pair of remixes Royal Rumble did with Kid Sister’s ‘Damn Girl’ that was commissioned by bigger bro(s) Flosstradamus. These really put the Too $hort sample on front street and we ain’t mad at it.

MP3: Kid Sister - Damn Girl (Royal Rumble Hall of Fame Extended Remix)

Royal Rumble has been one of the busier acts in the local electro/indie/hipster scene. But their calendar is looking sparse today, perhaps for the bigger and better things, like more production and bigger shows, like Dim Mak Records annual throwdown, Neighborhood Festival on Sept. 29th in Downtown L.A. …The Rumble will be there and they’re bringing so much laptop heat your nuts will go sterile (not really, homie, just a play on words).

Neighborhood Festival features other Missingtoof favorites The Faint, Crystal Castles, Kid Sister, Flosstradamus, Santogold, Spank Rock, Mickey Avalon and a grip of other notable names. Good eh? Tickets on sale, ya’herd?

I’ll leave you with the O.G. of ‘Damn Girl’ because it’s club classic.
