Sick Missy Rework


This beat is pretty ill, it applies an aethetically pleasing beat to an all time fave. Enjoy.

Missy Elliot-Work It (Justin Faust Remix)

Fresh Meat


This song appeared on the scene about a week ago. Its a rough snippet of a song Drake is working on. While this song is clearly unfinished and aside from Drake mumbling some melodies, this beat seams to be huge. Finish this ASAP Drake, this is going to be hot.

Villiany


Whether they're turning pop songs into sinistry or adding that special edge to indie singles, Villains (duo based in L.A) continue to produce solid hyper funk bangers.

All of the Villans hits will definitely turn the dancefloor from a normal mood, to an animalistic sex pit as described by the magazines.

Their latest work has them teamed up with Dragonette on "Fixin to Thrill".

Style Points



Okay from now on im going to post a daily fashion post of a random person with a unique sense of style and list the stores they bought their clothing from.

1. Shoes, H&M 2. T-Shirt, H&M 3. Shorts, Zara 4. Wayfarer, Ray Ban 5. Blazer, Zara

What is this?


Okay Diplo is arguably the best DJ alive. He has made the careers of MIA, Rye Rye and many other arists. He is Off The Beat and Track's favorite DJ/Producer. Major Lazer is amazing and has been mentioned on our blog many times before. But WTF is this? This beat is like all his recent projects gone wrong. Its like four songs mixed into one with no flow or synchronism. Come on Diplo what are you doing here! Listen up, continue to support Diplo, buy his stuff, but help me figure out what this song is supposed to be, because I dont get it.

The Dead Weather-Treat Me Like Your Mother (Diplo Remix)

Welcome Back Ghostface Killah

Ghostface ft. Raheem Davaghn- Baby

Yuksek


Check out this new remix of Bot'ox's Rue De L'arsenal by Yuksek. Everyone knows Yuksek never fails to impress and the outrageous vibe this song gives off is nothing less.

Make Her Say Video



A re-interpretation of Lady Gaga's Poker Face, Kid Cudi teams up with Kanye West and Common on the Poke Her Face music video. The video features some interesting split screen artistic direction, following in the mold of the these performers artistically inclined personas. Check it out!

Down By The Water


The Soundmen do it once again producing a lethal remix from BK upstarts The Drums. The subtle sounds of The Drums - Down By The Water are escalated to stadium status with The Soundmen's trademark pounding synths and thunderous drums. This multifasceted beat is one that can be enjoyed at the beach, in the whip, or in your headphones. You be the judge.

This duo's aim in production and remixing is to take the artist's vision and brings an entirely new angle to in the picture while still maintaining its core pieces. This is apparently a recipe for success as the Soundmen continue to bring us satisfaction.

DrinkTracker


Whether you're a lightweight or a full-time drinker, you can keep track of your boozing using your iPhone with DrinkTracker ($2). This handy little app lets you set a "target" BAC and then tell it when you're having a drink to keep track of your level over time. We used it to keep ourselves in the clear from the LAW over the weekend, but we're sure it's just as useful for insane drinking games, or for making sure Seth doesn't send himself to the hospital with that last keg stand.

Duck Sauce



Okay for a while there has been some bizarre talk amongst the Fools Gold crew of something called "Duck Sauce". What comes to mind? Chinese Restaurants, an inside joke.....amazing new Beats from A-Trak & Armand Van Helden? I think not, but thats exctly what it is. A-Trak & the Fool's Gold Label do it again with this sensational new beat that is sure to get you up and dancing! Enjoy the Duck Sauce.

Cicada's new album Metropolis is in stores now, so go pick it up. These songs are some sweet sounding beats remixed by some of the best in the game, Just a Ban & The Twelves. But its easy to make great remixes of such smooth music as Cicada put together. Sit back & enjoy.

Cicada-Falling Rockets (Just a Band Remix)

Pitchfork Music Festival


The Pitchfork Music Festival this year is downright fucking amazing, three stages of incredibly solid artists all weekend long. But even if you’ve already scrapped your macbook for ticket cash, Saturday and Sunday are both sold out, and there’s just a tiny stream of Friday badges still available. This concert is going to be one of the year's best for indie rock, pop, and folk. Wish I could be there, but its in Chicago, IL. Pitchfork Music Festival 2010 NYC anyone?


If your wondering where the music is coming from its at the bottom!

Supra NS 2009 Fall Collection








This hot new collection is Supra's attempt at an upscale skater sneaker. Obviously these attempts are a sure success, a similar silhouette to their popular skater shoes with obvious refinements are sure to appeal to an audience and Supra should expand on this idea. In the efforts to support Supra everyone should definitely go out an buy a pair of these sweet Kicks.

Controlar


This song is a beat created by XXXChange, Baltimore born DJ/producer Alex Epton. He only has a few songs out at the moment but all of them are surely bangers. Follow this one, because he is making all the right moves and I definitely see him making it big. Controlar is a sexy littly piece sung en Español by the excellent Tijuana/LA-based vocalist Ceci Bastida and the man himself.


Mashed Potatoes?


Ok, lets do a little math here......Lil Wayne is arguably the best rapper alive correct..........Grizzly Bear is arguably one of the best indie bands alive..........


Ok then what are the Soundmen?


The Soundmen are a production duo out of New York City who have have taken the game to a different level. They have compiled a 3 Song EP of Lil Wayne and Grizzly Bear mash-ups, with the name Veckaflyest. Check out these beats and you do the math. Most of all check out his their myspace, we could be watching the birth of another Girltalk, or something.



MEN


After a long European tour. Brookyln’s MEN—comprised of JD Samson (Le Tigre), Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre), Michael O’Neill (Princess), Ginger Brooks Takahashi (The Ballet) and Emily Roysdon—are bringing their dance-friendly electrobeats to cities around the US this summer. Although they have very few released songs, and have only produced a few remixes. They are sure to be the real deal and these tracks prove it.



Sidechain's is a house & techno DJ/Producer out of Barcelona who has been killing it for years (check out his stuff). Now this craftsmen is dipping his fingers into a new territory as he creates consistent bangers in his remixes! Here he remixes Booty Luv's Shine. Enjoy.

Cudi Doing Work


This song is a remix by Kid Cudi & Mike Posner of 3OH3's Dont Trust Me. I particularly dont like 3OH3 but Cudi & Posner certainly ball out hard in this one, pretty much making the song worthy. So sit back and listen to Cudi save the day in this mainstream beat. Check out this Kid Cudi Freestyle its pretty ridiculous.

Fresh Hip-Hop Beats

The following songs are brand new beats from some of our favorite rappers. Enjoy!


Pure Gold


Treasure Fingers really lives up to his name. His disco-popbeats are electrifying and we love him for this. He just recently emerged on the scene August last year on A-Trak's Fools Gold label. His debut track, "Cross The Dancefloor", left all of his listeners begging for more. Since then he has become much in demand as a remixer, working his electrofunk magic on tracks by Little Boots, Romanthony, Ocelot, Empire Of The Sun, Chromeo, and Miami Horror. I get to see him and the Fools Gold crew perform this saturday.........yeah be jealous!

This hot new boat shoe is Keep Company x Patta’s Benten shoe and is the latest product of Patta's 5th anniversary lineup.

This shoe is very practical and is certainly aesthetically pleasing with its warm yet vibrant attitude. Plus each pair comes with a handy Keep x Patta-branded canvas tote bag to carry your everyday items.

Florence & the Machine


British sensation Florence and the Machine are now making their way to the US. This group is comprised of Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her voice. After first hearing Florence, one can definitely admire the beauty and soul inspired feel she portrays in her music. Musically Florence and the Machine's are making way in the industry and I cant wait to hear some of their new stuff. But, what could someone enjoy more than Florence and the Machine remixed with electro flavour, check out some of the remixes we found for you.

Major Who?


Major Lazer is a side project of the D.J.-producers Diplo and Switch. Major Lazer is an excursion into dancehall under for famous electro D.J. under a contrived alias. It’s a tale that has unfolded over and over in pop: boys fall in love with reggae, boys travel to Jamaica, boys record with locals and make it big. We can see the duo at their best in two of Major Lazer's newest hit remixes by Tommie Sunshine and Golden Gloves. Enjoy these dancehall beats and feel the rhythm of Jamaica!

Lil Wayne X Madonna


Here we have Lil' Wayne's exclusive demo of Revolver. Revolver is a alleged demo that Young Money sent to Madonna in order to get her to sing. The song was released online about a month ago as a snippet of the song "Triggerman". But, someone leaked this potential Billboard's hit and now we have for our listening pleasure, thanks guys..............and yes the bullet appears to be a penis.

The Fear


This remarkable talent has certainly made a big splash in the scene, equally known for his memorable DJ sets as he is for his “catch you off guard” productions. His talents are endless and his music definitely shows it as he continues to produce hit after hit remixes. Duke Dumont does it again with his electrifying remix of Lily Allen's The Fear.


Hey You!



French electropop group Pony Pony Run Run just released the single “Hey You”. Their album was digitally released on June 8th and here they blow the competition out of the water by remixing their own track with this nice divine dance remix. The original version is getting big in France, it has been playlisted by all the major indie/rock radio stations. PPRR proves worthy of being one of the summers big indie hits. So as the summer runs and the beach gets more crowded dont miss "Hey You" and its wonderful remixes.

Housse de Racket's Synthetiseur (Van She Remix)


“Winners of runs, losers in love” is the leitmotiv of Housse de Racket. The group is first and foremost a smart, sport concept, a musical match between two childhood friends devoted to love and sport. Unsufficient heavy weights to high-level sportsmen, Pierre and Victor opted for high flying pop music. A household name Van She took one of the duos recent beats and turned it into something special. This remix of the Frenchy's Synthetiseur lifts the song to a whole new level making it a true banger. This remix seems to be only a taste of Van She's upcoming album, Ze Vemixes.

He's The Shit


Kayne West continues to raise the bar bringing to our ipods one of his recent songs, Im the Shit. This catchy beat is definitely something that makes you want to hit the dancefloor. However, the songs diverse rhythm takes a turn in Ernold Sane's remix, escalating us from a great hip hop track to an unbelievable electro-beat that wont fail to get you dancin'

Drake Signs With Lil Wayne's Young Money Label


'It's just a great day,' Drake says of deal.

Well, the wait is over. After weeks of speculation, Drake has chosen to go with Lil Wayne's Young Money Records.  This young Canadian is already on the brink of stardom as his mixtape So Far Gone, has risen to the top of the charts. You may know Drake from his recent hits such as Successful, Uptown, Un-Stoppable and Best I Ever Had.

Time will only tell what the next hit from the rap/hip-hop will be as this prodigy stands at the top of his competition. Joining Young Money, will not only develop Drake's pocketbook but he will be working with the game's "Best Rapper Alive" Lil' Wayne. And the world knows that anything Weezy F Baby touches turns to platinum, so we can expect Drake's future to look awfully bright.
