Crazy ATL chick goes Soulja Girl on Marta, gets remixed.

I’ve been falling in love with Baltimore house lately, having nothing to do with John’s proximity to the city. Its the breakbeats, and the hilarious remixes that come from this genre; like this one.

So here’s this youtube video of this crazy girl, going absolutely nuts and dancing and carrying on like a hoodrat on a MARTA train. She’s disrespecting old ladies, singing Soulja Girl, and being a general fool.

Now here’s the Bmore remix, pure gold.

What do you do when you have a decommissioned Showbiz Pizza Place Animatronics setup lying around? You program it to play Usher and scare a lot of kids…

Alice: Trippy Song/Video from the rabbit Hole

“Alice” is an electronic song created 90% of audio pieces taken from the movie “Alice in Wonderland.” The accompanying video features clever editing from the movie and takes you on an adventure true to the original. Music/video remixes are all well and good, but the impressive part is that the composer is a 19 year old from Australia.

Stream/download the song here, watch the video on youtube.

• Pogo (or as he calls himself on last.fm) put together a few other songs into an EP called “Wonderland.” They are all equally good, just no video for them… yet.

Video: Justice - “Stress”

Here’s Justice’s newest video for “Stress,” brought to you by none other than Kanye West, who decided he might as well join the club instead of trying to combat the Ed Banger Boys. Smart guy.

Xotec: The Filthy and the Fierce (Filthy’s Bday redux)

• A funny thing happened when I opened Ableton on my laptop a few days after I performed a special b-day set for dekoze aka, “filthy bitch” (it’s a term of endearment) at Footwork a few weeks back…“Program closed before saving, do you want to recover your work?”Hmmmmm….ok! I discovered that I must have hit the red record button at some point, as I managed to capture about 35 minutes of the set….certainly didn’t intend to, becasue I wasn’t going to risk a glitch by overloading the RAM…The nice thing about Ableton Live - it’s real easy pick up where I left off, so to speak, and add to the 35 minutes I had recorded to make a full length mix…so I did…now I can share it with you…

  Download and enjoy exclusive re-rubs, tweeks, and re-edits as usual…this time I manipulate and re-rub the likes of Jaydee, Justin Timberlake, Primal Scream, Ian Dury, M.I.A., GTO, Peaches, and more…oh…I also give birthday shout outs to filthy with special sample drops lovingly prepared by a radio legend…there’s about five of them…I just had to leave ‘em in… -Xotec

Mond.. er Tuesday Tunesday: Butterfingers

I was a little preoccupied getting back to work Monday and missed getting this video posted, but better late than never.

This is Butterfingers by 80’s Electropop group Bomb the Bass. They recently came out of the woodwork with Butterfingers being the first single off of the upcoming album “Future Chaos.” The video features a puppetized minimoog, produced by the Parish Factory. Check it out here. [via NotCot]

Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes

I recently started listening to Santogold when I heard of them from the RCRD LBL blog. L.E.S. Artistes was a favorite track and now I have a video to go with it.

Directed by Nima Nourizadeh. I really dig the violence, its so artistic and even at some points intentionally faux-realistic. You just gotta watch.

• This is better than good; this is gold— SANTOGOLD! Santogold is a survivor of a half-century worth of living along musical evolution’s most cutting edges. The only live act that can boast of having out-aged Barbara Bush, having outlived Mr. Miyagi and out-styled Liberace, Santogold is here with future flavor.Already receiving weighty club rotation and airplay in urban Afghanistan and downtown Beirut, Santogold is the first act of the century to boast a post-war following on the International Space Station Mir. Following a live performance broadcast from three thousand miles off the Cape of Good Hope last June, inmates at Leavenworth Penitentiary received Santogold with a celebratory confetti parade. Just another first for the modern super group that knows no bound.Composed of absolutely no members, Santogold is also the first musical outfit capable of claiming the planet’s broiling collective consciousness as their front woman. Longtime collaborator, singer and songwriter Santi White says of her work with Santogold, “We began trying to write pop songs to sell, which made us depressed, so we started writing songs for ourselves instead.” The results of that self-centered conceit is the songwriting work heard for the first time on the full length Santogold album, as yet untitled, to be released in 2007 on the Lizard King label.

  As unmastered tracks leaked over the internet this past November, the request lines of radio stations from Miami to Hanoi began freezing with a flood of calls from listeners eager to hear the new Santogold sound over their frequencies. From his radio show in the United Arab Emirates capital city of Abu Dhabi, Michael Jackson (the King of Pop) played what Santogold snippets he had been able to pirate from a bootleg MySpace page dedicated to the group. Days later, BBC Radio One reported that the unreleased Santogold debut was heard blasting from the iPod shuffle of Libyan ruler Moammar Qaddafi as he entered an international summit in the Nigerian capital of Abuja. Recognizing the urgent need to address the uproarious buzz, Santogold released the following statement through their label reps at Lizard King: “The response to our unmastered songs has been both premature and phenomenal! We were happy to hear that the children of Darfur have found hope in our melodic interpretation of life on the battlefield of love! We’re hoping that each and every 20-something from downtown San Francisco to central Mumbai will also learn something from our work! And to the people dropping no-knock fire on old ladies in Atlanta: shame on you! Santogold ain’t with that shit!”

  The trajectory of such early successes leading to newfound political clout is nothing new for Santogold, whose debut album, though half a century in the making, is sure to rock glass pipes from the Lincoln Memorial to Buckingham palace. The flavor of the gold is guaranteed: Santogold! - Via Myspace

Monday Tuneday: Justice DVNO

I’ve watched “DVNO” about 10 times so far since it was “released” this weekend. I can’t get enough. The newest Justice video was directed by SO ME, the same person who directed DANCE and is responsible for nearly all the graphical work that accompanies the killer acts on the Ed Banger Label.

Styled as a tribute to the 70-80’s style tv bumps, see how many you can spot.
