Your Dirty Habit shreds M.I.A.'s "Steppin' Up"


The lethal duo known as Your Dirty Habit, has been concocting beats of mass destruction since 2006 in a lab tucked away somewhere in our fair city of Charlotte, NC.  Whether they are Djing or constructing layers of sonic insanity these guys have not only been sweating over their beats but have been directly invested in establishing a solid community of beat fiends here in Charlotte. YDH established the Street Value event series, which has drawn the likes of Designer Drugs, AC Slater, Jubilee and has quickly become an institution within the Charlotte scene.  Some of the hardest working guys in the Charlotte music scene, and one of the better live experiences anywhere around! Currently, YDH has been broadening their range of impact for greater levels of domination, traveling and hitting spots all over the East Coast.  So hunt them down, grab everything they have and support your local bangers!

Dave of YDH has remixed a reeediculous UK dubheavy version of M.I.A.'s "Steppin' Up"

Daryl Hall/Chromeo collaboration.


This is a complete good.  In part to the ensuing onslaught of 70's/80's groove throw-back crews like Breakbot, Mr. Flash, Chromeo, Air, Quinten 909, Lorenz Rhode, Rootz, Hot Toddy, Shazam, Siriusmo etc I have gone on a deep exploration of that generation defining sound created in those smoky disco joints during the era of excess (where house was born). Alan Parsons Project, the Pointer Sisters ("Automatic" is my jam), Hall & Oats, Prince and the like have been flowing from my ear buds, lappy and auto.  Then I found this collaboration which fluttered down like a dove with all it's divinity: Hall&Oats with Chromeo.  This is excellence in the making.  I love listening to the sages who defined music and art in their generation passing on their gift, lessons and experience to the new kids.  I get all warm inside.

Here is Part Eins of the Daryl Hall and Chromeo collab. PLUS the gorgeous redo of the studio classic "No Can Do." This is so amazing to watch!!

Breakbots new vid. Excellence in watercolors.



A late arrival (by a few months) but nonetheless worth it in all of its watercolor glory. A perfect medium for an immaculate pastel track like this one.  If you're just discovering BWillackers, here's the other Breakbot related material from BWill's post archive. Breakbot is most definitely one of favorite artists in recent years, please grab all of these up they're well worth it!! Also, Just uploaded an always smooth and terrific Breakbot remix of Kavinsky's sweetness "Night Call."
