Bloody Your Hands
Sorry to bore y'all with my diversion into football. Have to get these things off my chest occasionally... hope you understand.
Which makes it about time for a 'hot new jam' as Westwood would probably call it. Then again he's a twat. So i'll just call it a 'jolly nice new tune'.
After reading an interesting article on Rio Baile Funk in Sunday's Observer, I've been listening a lot to Diplo's Favela mixes to get a taste of this strange new sound. Diplo has been the main man in getting these tunes out of Brazil and into the mainstream - and in particular his production on girlfriend M.I.A.'s 'Bucky Done Gone' is an homage (or, some might say, a rip off) of that sound.
I'm not going to post a Baile track up here though - as I managed to pick up another Diplo production this week - a mash-up 12" called Hollertronix Vol. 2. It contains 5 superb bootleg mixes such as TV on The Radio vs Afrika Bambaata and Mike Jones (? whoever he is) over Britney's 'Toxic'. Pick of the bunch though is this excellent mash-up of Snoop Dogg and The Cure. A must hear.
DIPLO - SNOOP DOGG vs THE CURE
It's sold out at Boomkat already, but Piccadilly Records seem to have copies left. Don't hang about....
