Heres a recap of the hottest shits of 2005. Just a quick roundup of mixes you could be listening to. Instead of whatever else you´re doing, which is pointless.
RADIOCLIT are my best friends in an Argentinian internet cafe right now. They´ve been kind enough to put all their DirtySouth/ Grime/ Electro/ Fagbeat/ ChoppednSkrewed/ Radiobullshitmixes on disk for download or stream - especially cop their Lemon red series radio show, their 2nd official mixtape CAREFUL;CLITCLIT and for a quick preview, hear Dizzee Razcall get the Bjork/Vitalic treatment when he gets mashed up with French electroshite Chloe and end up with perhaps his first song worth hearing twice! Dont hate dudes because they're French!
Then there´s the powerful Certified Bananas from the mighty state of Rhode Island who haven´t changed anything, still bringing dope mixes and exclusives. Youve already heard them mash Joanna Newsome with Tego "I swear I saw him buying crack once near La Pearla in San Juan" Calderon, but hows about "Marquee Moon" by Television mashed with that filthy "My Neck, My Back..." song (download)? Or how about not?
And of course there´s the man so omnipresent and zeitgeisty that he's like the even more white version of Pharrell, Diplo with some live shit coming straight from where all the best parties are at: The Guggenheim Museum. Parts one and Two streaming here Thats right, here´s some exclusive mixes from that bastion of all things indie and gutter: AOL MUSIC (diplo page here). Many strikes against it? Yes, but peep the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs RMX, lots of Electro funk, the Percolator, and tons of Baile with at least one Smiths sample. Ignore "My Hump". Thank you.
And if 2005 isn't doing it for you, take the way-back-machine to 2004 and finally cop Diplo's "Piracy Funds Terrorism" (download) . Harken back to an innocent time when America fell in love with a young MIA and the "do you hear me now" guy taught us all to smile again. More than just a genius way to get into MIA's pants, "Piracy..." was a dope mixtape featuring some hot fire blends and exclusives like Lil Vicious on the Galang rhythm and Cutty Ranks on the "Drop it Like it´s Hot" rhythm . Save it for your "Totally 00's" party in a couple years.
