Hollywood2Oslo: the FABRIC series: Rub n tug – sat/sun selection

April 30, 2011

Found this gem [as part of the longstanding tradition of Fabric recordings] at Amoeba music, in Hollywood a bunch of years ago. Asked the guy working in the ‘dance music department,’ “What’s something I don’t know about that I should?” the answer was this: a detonated explosion of edgy New York house, circa 2006.

And a few years later, got the chance to See Rub N Tug do their thing in Oslo. Well worth the inordinate amount of money we had to pay to get in; because being in Norway incinerates your pocket$. Major good time though!

It’s a roaring expedition through light and dark. The whole thing is unbelievable. Really really love this compilation. The track selection alone is worth marveling over… Had trouble finding most of these for download so just buy it here.

BASS: Toddla T – Take it back

April 29, 2011

Goddd, Gushing over Take It Back. Blame bass head Toddla T/Shola Ama (who can take her rank among the grip of other house divas) and mc J2K, who did that one track with MSTRKFT… who for the record is played out and we’ll never mention again.

SO! Either way… if Take It Back is even, a little bit, the staus quo for Watch Me Dance, Toddla T‘s forthcoming album, it should be a good one. Get on it. It’s out on the always experimental Ninja Tunes.
