axel le baron & kurbatov – fame moveltraxx recently dropped an ep of axel le baron & kurbatov’s jammer “fame” remixed by a diverse cast including fred falke and traxman. you can hear snippets of all of them here. the new school and old school of french house converge in this remix by the legend […]
been a while since we’ve done a footwork update. let us know what we left out. boylan tekz aug 2011 ftwk by boylan boylan was generous enough to give us this listen to what’s been going on inside ghettoteckz headquarters as of late, with first listens to tracks that are less than a month since […]
chicago’s finest footworkers are invading new york: lit city, brand new label by the ghetto teknitianz, dave quam and azizaman, have brought out some of the heaviest hitters: ghettotek founder and legend in his own time dj rashad, seasoned veterans/pioneers traxman and clent, and underage producer/footworking double-force dj manny are here to hold it down.

we’ve been delayed on posting this on the blog-blog for a while now, but traxman’s mind of traxman lp is a juke masterpiece and one of the best albums we’ve heard so far this year. the chicago veteran has been important in the evolution of chicago house into juke, and touches on so many styles and insane drum patterns and sample flips it can be dizzying, but as a whole the record is a serious psychedelic slice of pure soul music from the future.
let these amazing exclusive tracks traxman hooked us up with warm you up for his set tonight (fri the 25th) at 285 kent alongside Howse, Octo Octa, Ñaka Ñaka, The Range, and yours truly. come get your mind reprogrammed to 160bpm, or as traxman said, it’s like you’re missing “ringling brothers, the greatest show on earth” check it out.
traxman – lifeeee is for ever
traxman – footworkin on air
traxman – 1988
bonus:
traxman – budda worx
traxman – movinnnn
traxman – 1976
axel le baron & kurbatov – fame
the new school and old school of french house converge in this remix by the legend fred falke, which would pass for a daft punk remix of carly simon’s “why”. no complaints!
now let’s take a moment to appreciate the greatness of the original carly simon jam, especially the slick bassline by chic’s bernard edwards. so smooth. (prepare for a trainwreck of a video, though):

dJ spinn – addicted
dJ manny – still playing
boylan – OMM (tekz everyday)
dJ Spinn – jealousy
traxman – get dem niggaz of my shit
dj spinn – 187 trax
dj manny – my click

dj rashad – undisputed
dj spinnn – winnin
dj rashad – ghetto tek musik
dj manny – lap dance
boylan manny rashad – drinkin

dj diamond’s new lp flight muzik is the first we’ve heard from him since his stunningly bizarre entries on the bangs & works comp, and this one lives up in its next-level, mortal kombat weirdness:

E3 by Dj Avery-76
chicago’s finest footworkers are invading new york: lit city, brand new label by the ghetto teknitianz, dave quam and azizaman, have brought out some of the heaviest hitters: ghettotek founder and legend in his own time dj rashad, seasoned veterans/pioneers traxman and clent, and underage producer/footworking double-force dj manny are here to hold it down. the best juke still comes from its birthplace of chicago, and the ghetto teckz are at the very forefront of this, producing some of the most interesting/progressive/rhythmically innovative music on the planet, period. they are blessing santos’ mammoth sound system this friday, as well as tonight at the cove for the warmup. these guys don’t come out here as much as they should, and last time i saw dj rashad spin my eyes were rolling in the back of my head, i literally couldn’t make sense of the sounds coming out of the speakers, but i was completely arrested by them nonetheless. come out and taste the future.
wednesday, 04.13.11 @ the cove, brooklyn (sans dj clent) – $3
friday, 04.15.11 @ santos party house, nyc (12-4am upstairs) – $10
dj rashad – feel da soundz [see also: rinse.fm & reverb, love u found]
traxman – slip fall / mix
dj clent – drop low / mix
dj manny – i’m da shyt b [see also: aw shit]
