Peep the goods here.

NATALIE STORM

If we've ever talked about modern dancehall together, the subject of Natalie Storm has most likely come up. She's a goddess, and I'm a little obsessed with her. Whether it's her spitting over a hot riddim, or laying her trademark sound to an Enur track, whatever Natalie does is golden.
Peep her new video for (not so new song) "God Bless Me"



Natalie Storm -GOD BLESS ME

Natalie Storm vs. Crookers -DAY N NITE

REUNITED

Take this all in, SLOWLY.


Vancouver/Toronto based Fan Death is my current disco obsession. You might recognize the pretty black haired babe as the one and only Dandilion Wind, who's creepy goth electro gained buzz in 2007 and 2008. The new project is a much welcomed move into a more lo-fi, italo sound, reminiscent of Portland's own Chromatics and Glass Candy.

PS. Dandi kinda looks like Parker Posey, the love of my life.

STRAIGHT SEXY

I'm glad the boys decided to make 2 videos for Keep it going louder. But which one is better?

Major Lazer- "Keep It Goin Louder" on Vimeo - Watch more Videos at Vodpod.

VS.

Keep It Goin' Louder Vídeo de Major Lazer - Vídeo MySpace - Watch more Videos at Vodpod.

My vote is for #1, mainly because it makes Nina Sky look less lame, though Wes looks fly in the suit.

FAGGETS

My two favorite Danish lesbos, Fagget Fairys, have a new remix out produced by Pittsburgh's king of bass B. Rich. The otherwise stale, somewhat boring track, Roll the Dice, is completely reworked into a surefire crowd-pleaser. Enjoy.

LUST FOR LIFE

DANCING WITH WEAPONS

I first heard Maskinen (Swedish for Machines) in the fall of 2007 when a friend dropped their track Alla Som Inte Dänsar (Ar Våldtäktsmän) (Everyone who's not dancing is a rapist). At the time I wasn't sure exactly what I thought of the Swedish electro-rap threesome, the track wasn't exactly something I was super stoked on at first. After fellow Swedes and hard-hitting house DJ's Dada Life reworked the track, I gave it a second chance, and the song started to grow on me.
After losing a member in mid-2008, Maskinen returned with Segertåget (Victory Train), a far superior, more dancefloor friendly track that gave listeners the a first peek at the groups more global influences, bringing in a UK-esque bassline and a Portuguese hook to their signature Stockholm electro sound.
2009 has been a busy year for Afasi and Filthy: releasing two singles, Pengår (Money) and Bränner (Fires) (both of which was produced by another Swedish big shot, Style of Eye), before releasing their first full-length, Boys II Men, earlier this month. The guys worked with a virtual who's who of international dance music producers, notably Edu K, DJ Gorky and Radioclit. In fact, below, you can watch the fabulously amusing video for the the track that Radioclit produced, Dansa Med Vapen, which features the one and only Marina Gasolina, in all her voodoo glory.

FUNKY

This is the next level, the stuff that is coming out of London is insane. Garage, dancehall and grime, fused with tribal influenced house beats. Funky house has been my secret weapon for about a year now, and I'm finally ready for it to fly the coop. Lil Silva is creating some of the most innovative beats I've heard in months. Be prepared for this shit to take over. Not to mention the fact that this video is hilarious, love the barber shop setting.
