 matt shadetek's get drunk and lose your phone mix

New DJ mix from me, Matt Shadetek, that I put together to promote our party next Friday Mar. 27th at Glasslands in Brooklyn.  The mix is called “Get Drunk and Lose Your Phone”, which is precisely what I expect you to come out and do with us next week.  Don’t worry, you’ll get another one and probably find that cute girl’s number again, maybe.  I included tracks from Kingdom and Uproot Andy who will both be playing, along with some stuff by me of course.  The first tune is a brand new exclusive 4×4 Tropical remix of The Dream’s “Rockin’ That Shit” that I just made.  I love The Dream, his new album is great and is apparently doing really well.  If you had told me a few years ago I would be listening to and making housey R+B I would have laughed in your face.  Ha!  Here we are in 2009.  Anyway, enjoy the mix, it’s the third installment in our Dutty Artz Podcast, following Lamin’s Recession Rap Mix.

Dubstep is moving.  Check the legit collabo tune between Snoop Dogg, Tanvi Shah of Slum Dog Millionaire and Chase and Status.  I’m a little startled but I guess this is just how the world is moving right now.  The tune is pretty good too.  Interesting how they put the chorus over big bass drops and then ease out for the verses.  Well done everybody, thanks to Mad Decent for the link.

Steele just sent this over to me, and I’m pleased to share it with you all.  When he heard Jahdan’s new single “The General”, from JD’s forthcoming Buzzrock Warrior album, it seemed tailor made for him, Tony “General” Steele as he’s called and so he asked to jump on a remix.  JD and Steele go way back to the days of Smif N Wessun’s “Sound Bwoy Bureill” and JD has been involved with the Boot Camp Clique for years.  To have Steele spitting on my beat is a special honor for me having been such a fan of Smif N Wessun back in the day, listening to classics like “Wreckonize” and “Sound Bwoy Bureill” on The Box, back when NYC had a real, user controlled video channel and all anyone would request was hardcore hiphop.

Watch for The General Remix feat. General Steele coming soon.

Gabriel from Heatwave sent this over.  It is, as they say ‘a portable party for your mp3 player’.  You might black out and find yourself daggering the coatrack in your office, so be careful.  Hardcore dutty dancehall, don’t play this for your kids.  A nice fast mix with a lot of the new crazy riddims, mashups etc. coming out.

This tune is ill, sort of African funky grime. The video is a class of kids learning the steps to the dance that goes with it, and then making up their own. Thanks to Kingdom for putting me onto this one via his mix for Lower End Spasm, which will be out soon. Apparently the sample is Nigerian. Anyone know what they’re saying? Never heard of the guys who made it, called Fr3e, but it’s wicked.

New York Tropical is back for it’s fourth edition, returning to Glasslands. This time we’ve got the amazing Kingdom and Uproot Andy (two of the best upcoming producers in NYC for my money), La Yegros is in from Argentina and Contessa hosting. As usual I am sure there will be many hot latina girls dancing, thanks to the kind promotional support of NY Remezcla. It will be wild like a rainforest. Spot the animals hiding in the flier, made by me. Yes, not only do I make beats but I go hard on photoshop like Suge Knight dipped in diamonds. As usual Grim, our sound man, will be bringing extra bass for us. We just can’t have enough.

What: Dutty Artz Tropical Dance

Where: Glasslands Gallery, 289 Kent St. near to JMZ Marcy and Bedford L trains, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

When: March 27 10PM til they kick us out.

How much: $5 before 11PM, $7 after.

Timeblind is up with another mix, this time for subfm.  Some very nice, and weird, flavors in there including, I almost forgot, an exclusive unreleased track by me from my forthcoming Flowers album called “Lily of the Valley”.  More on that later.  This mix is quite different from the previous one, even though it uses some of the same tracks, which is cool.  Info here and download here.

I had the beeps from this beat stuck in my head for a few months so I had to look it up on Youtube this morning. I heard it first in DJ Vlad’s Hyphymentary “Ghost Ride The Whip” which is worth checking. Too $hort STAYS on form, crazy.

This Serani song is really great, love the combination of reggae/dancehall vibes.   Daseca strikes again on the riddim.  Serani is actually a producer in the Daseca crew who has recently broken out as an artist.  The vocal tone on the hook is beautiful.  This song has already broken into the hiphop/r+b mix on Hot97 in NYC (where I heard Funk Flex playing it while I was washing the dishes) which suggest that you’ll all be hearing a lot more of it.
