Tommie Sunshine & Figure! Brooklyn Fire Tracks!

As you can tell the busy holidays put me into sort of a backlog so I’m clearing out  my mailbox of all these hot tracks that I slept on and giving them to you.  Here a few that our man Figure sent over. I’m really diggin this funky ass edit that he did with Tommie Sunshine.  Would love to see Tommie and Figure come out here to the Bay to spin.  Maybe  CF can make that happen. Hopefully.  For now, enjoy the heaters below.

All you DJs out there, load up your mix for free and get mad exposure!  Read below…

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
Mixcrate.com
San Francisco, CA 94105
pr@mixcrate.com

Mixcrate.com brings “Community” back to the DJ.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA  – November 16th, 2009 – Mixcrate announced the official launch of www.mixcrate.com: an innovative and completely free, community based, site for DJs to share their mixes with peers and fans.
The feature rich, interactive, platform was designed as a simple to use tool to allow DJs to distribute their work globally on-line.  The site has a built-in rating system and allows members to comment and leave feedback on any of the mixes they choose.  DJs, who have uploaded their own material, can easily view a matrix of statistics on each of their mixes which include: number of times recommended, times played, times downloaded, and current number of comments.
In addition, to encourage a rapid dissemination of material, www.mixcrate.com has integrated tools that allow members to easily share the mixes with any of their contacts on the popular social networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.

Chris Yee, founder of the Mixcrate website, describes the service as “… a music distribution platform that enables DJ artists and their fans to discover and share mixsets for the purposes of promoting DJs and their mixes online.”

“The community aspect of DJing has been an essential part of what’s been lost in the new age of digital technology…”, says partner Genghis Mendoza. “We’re creating a community for DJ’s to share and learn; an environment that fosters interactions between its members.  Those new to the trade, and the hobbyists, now have a safe place to gain insight from some of our legends.  Really, it’s all about sharing and innovation.” 

For additional information feel free to contact our media relations at pr@mixcrate.com or visit  www.mixcrate.com.

Promo: Chuck Love ft Colette – UR Everything + (S&B Rmxs)

Got this in the mailbox today. Sorry folks. Can’t give up the link. Here’s my take on the release though.

I’ve been waiting for this since I heard it on Santiago & Bushido’s Fall 2009 mix.

Love the different styles on the release. The S&B mixes hit right home for me. That sinister bassline and ghostly vocals work perfectly together. Great piece of work! Will definitely play this out!

Being the old school head that I am I like the original versions as well. Classic house flavor. Chicago and San Francisco come to mind. Colette’s vocals are really nice and soothing.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Love Network Rework. The “metal” edge works and would work on any alternate rock station for sure. Needs a video to go with it. Nice job!

Congrats to Chuck Love on his first label release. Success!

Read the descriptions below (it sums up the release pretty well) and cop this when it comes out.

Chuck Love teams up with the leading lady of Dance Music, Colette, to deliver his first release, UR EVERYTHING, on his new label, LOVE NETWORK. With remixes by Chuck as well as Santiago & Bushido, the package offers something for any lover of electronic music. For the old school House Music Fans, Chuck offers up his Main Mix (along with a Radio Edit) full of signature Chuck Love melodies layered with Colette’s signature, angelic lyrics. The Love Network Rework offers a ‘rocked out/pedal to the metal’ version of the track, complete with live instruments and a unique vision of what the original track could have been (stuck in a snow storm in June in Minneapolis). For the Tech House lovers, Santiago & Bushido’s Rubdown is a beater at it’s finest; white light, white heat, designed to melt the audience with a Rubdown Edit with the same flavor and a little less vocal. Lastly, for those Fans who appreciate a more stripped down, hypnotic beat – the Hybrid Dub; guaranteed to work the dancefloor into a frenzy.

Little Brother Announces Release Date Of April 20th For New LP LeftBack

I’m a HUGE fan of Little Brother so I had to let y’all know about this! I can’t wait!

(January 26, 2010 – Brooklyn, NY) Favorites of fans and critics alike, Little Brother, the North Carolina duo of Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh, is proud to finally confirm the release of an album people have been waiting on for years. LeftBack, which will be the fourth album of Little Brother’s illustrious career, will be available April 20th via Hall Of Justus.

Little Brother members Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh worked through several versions of the album before locking in the final version of LeftBack. Close followers of Little Brother may already be familiar with the LeftBack title, however, any previously held notions of this album being an EP should be dismissed. Little Brother opted to scrap the EP concept and instead, crafted an album’s worth of material for those who have been waiting patiently for new content. “I didn’t want our last record to be a bunch of second-rate material,” says Phonte. “I wanted to walk away from Little Brother knowing that I gave our fans all that I had to give, and said everything I wanted to say. With LeftBack, I’ve done that.”

Continuing the tradition they set with the critically acclaimed GetBack, Big Pooh and Phonte have enlisted multiple producers for LeftBack, both from within and outside of the Justus League camp. Producers for this album include frequent collaborator Khrysis and GetBack producers Denaun Porter and Zo!, as well as efforts from Symbolyc One and first time Little Brother contributors, J. Bizness, and King Karnov.

In addition to production, Khyrsis will also be contributing guest vocals on the album. Joining the North Carolina producer/MC are Torae, Truck North, Jozeemo and fellow Justus League MC’s Chaundon and Median. Resident crooner Darien Brockington and songstress Yahzarah also supply vocals on the album.

Despite Little Brother’s dominating presence in the hip-hop world since the 2003 release of The Listening, LeftBack will mark the duo’s first album with a true multi-media experience. Accompanying LeftBack will be four official music videos, all shot and directed by Matt Koza, known for his previous work with Foreign Exchange, Rapper Big Pooh, Kam Moye, RJD2, and more. While not customary for a Little Brother release – the group has had only one previous official video, for The Minstrel Show’s “Lovin’ It” – with LeftBack, Little Brother is excited to offer loyal supporters a long-desired visual take on the group’s music. Says Big Pooh, “Three albums, three mixtapes, one video. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in this day and age. We have always lacked in the visual department, and I think it will be refreshing to finally offer the people those visuals.”

Building on the album’s multi-media offerings, the initial pressing of LeftBack will also feature a limited edition DVD full of exclusive bonus material. Compiled in a documentary format, the bonus DVD will include recent tour footage, as well as exclusive Little Brother footage shot and archived throughout their career. For fans that miss the initial run, a subsequent DVD-only release will also include all official music videos from LeftBack.

Fans can expect further announcements from Little Brother, including tour info and other interesting developments on LeftBack’s road to the release.
