Pick up the whole Flamin Hotz catalog before it sells out. We print limited edition vinyl records. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, there will be no repressings.
NYC’s Cousin Cole & Pocketknife (aka Flagrant Fowl) are back at it, this time landing on the Philly-based Flamin’ Hotz label with an EP of folk and indie rock remixes. Pocketknife leads off with "The Book of Right On(1)," throwing some tuff electronic drums underneath the saccharine high-pitched vox of indie harpstress Joanna Newsom. Next up is the mellow, finger-picking "Each Coming Night(2)" by Iron & Wine, followed by Cousin Cole’s lush edit of Neil Young’s "My My, Hey Hey(3)." Cole also adds a downtempo remix of Bruce Springsteen’s "I’m On Fire(4)," before Pocketknife rounds it out with edits of Beirut’s indie hit "Scenic World(5)" and my personal fave, John Lennon’s "Oh Yoko(6)." All this, plus DOPE artwork from Paul Pope on both sides of a full-color pic disk. Recommended.
Ok, stick with me here: Side A of this EP is titled "Bird Peterson Plays His Own (Soon-To-Be) Popular Computer Jams," while Side B is called "Bird Peterson Plays Other People’s Popular Jams With Computers." I met Bird Peterson in Texas and he seemed like a really cool guy; after seeing this EP and reading its myriad accompanying sleeve notes, I think maybe he’s just a world-traveling alcoholic deviant, and then I remember that I came back from Texas missing my watch. But I digress: Side A features some of Bird’s best original production, including the extra-bassy Bmore hybrid "Twurk Central(1)" and the extra-hype, Snow White-interpolating Cousin Cole remix(2). There’s also the "Champ"-sampling "Junkyard(3)" and Scottie B’s remix of one of the best jams from Bird’s album, "Nerdout Wizard Music(4)." Side B holds some more bootleggy treasures, including "The Who Remix(5)" (a Bmore’d out "Baba O’Reily"), "Big Country Remix(6)" (self-explanatory) and a weirdo Public Enemy twerk on "Bring The Noise Remix(7)." Keep ’em comin’, BP. 7 tracks total. Recommended.
The acid colors are frying my retinas! And this beat is kicking my ass! Todosantos makes "youthful expression" the understatement of the year, and Flamin’ Hotz is treating their EP like a champion horse. Not only do they dress up the single with eye-popping 3-D design (3-D glasses included!) they also throw in an enhanced DVD including MP3s and MP4s of all the tracks and 3 spastic videos for their singles (check their MySpace for previews). The shit is so crazy, if this was a video game, it would come with a disclaimer for seizure-inducing visuals. The tracks "OMG - We Got It(1)," "Acid Boys & Acid Girls(2)," and "Pao!(3)" are just as hype as their look, and introduce their "Tukky Bass" sound, comprised of nu-rave, dubstep, baile, kuduro and ghettotech elements. The hybrid is a super-concentrated party pill made for gettin’ straight stupid on the dancefloor. Not only that, you get more hype remixes from Cousin Cole, Leif, a hard dubstep/dance version by Cardopusher(4), and Diplo’s homie System D-128’s smashing bonus beat(5). Careful with these, it’s pretty explosive. Did I mention it’s on yellow and red marbled vinyl?
FHZ005 - Dwizz Party Music featuring philly club music aka Party music from the youngest and hottest club producer in philly
Turntable Lab Review
Part time producer / part time South Philly High School football star Dwizz drops his debut EP on Flamin’ Hotz (who brought you Curtis Vodka, Emynd & Bo Bliz, Trouble & Bass). Dwizz’s type of "party music" sounds like pitched-up Bmore with bits of ghettotech and lots of energy - Philly’s loving it. "Salt Pepper Ketchup & Hot Sauce(1)" - as in "whatchu want on your wings, gurl?" - is already a club anthem over there. (The beat’s a hybrid of "Percolator," gunshots and paranoid electro-strings.) Dwizz gets a little more booty bass going on "Toot That(2)," which samples "Pop Lock & Drop It," but mis-steps a bit on "Feelin’ So Horny." (Hey, the kid’s in high school...) Couple more club-worthy cuts on the B-side: Dwizz chops up MIMS for "I’m Hot(3)," and his "Goodtimes(4)" remix can stand toe-to-toe with Tittsworth’s "Jeffersons." Nice artwork and pic sleeve from Flamin’ Hotz as always.
(Buy it at Turntable Lab in the US, Juno or Rubadub in the UK, Beatstreet in Canada.
The long-awaited first vinyl release from Emynd & Bo Bliz out of Philly! This EP has already been getting tons of play from Diplo and Scottie B, so you know it’s that club heat. On the A-side (which is all "Philly Club" tracks), they lead off with the horn-blasting "Philly Anthem(1)" (who’s on vocals??) and move on to "He Kissed Me Club Theme(2)," which samples the classic Motown track of the same name (Bmore style) as well as some nice lil "Percolator" pops. They round out the side with a trio of shorter club break type tracks: "Get F’d Up" (with R.Kelly’s "so what I’m drunk" line, sped up), "I See Some Thick Jawns(3)" (with Weezy’s "thick bitches" line, slowed down) and "A Bit Patchy Club Theme(4)" (you can figure that one out). On the flip, the boys give us some "WTWB Club Tools" from their crazy popular parties in Philly. "White Tees & White Belts(5)" is a sick little mash / cut-n-paste composition featuring elements from The Verve’s "Bittersweet Symphony," "It’s Goin’ Down" and "Money In The Bank," with Dem Franchize Boyz’ "White Tees" acapella over the top. (Diplo sez: "I been playing the Verve thing in Australia. Not even my typa shit but I love it.") "Sizzla Loves It(6)" features a fierce (unidentified) Sizzla vocal over the beat from Jeezy’s "I Luv It," and "I Wanna Be Luchini(7)" has Buju Banton over Camp Lo’s classic beat. Oh yeah, and if that weren’t enough: the artwork is top-notch, too. Recommended. (Buy at Turntable Lab)
FHZ003 - Bass Bandits EP from Trouble and Bass. Genre bending next level club music to make your speakers bleed featuring "Ballers", "Magnum", "Uptown V. I. P." and more.
Turntablel Lab Review
Third release from the Flamin Hotz label, who really got their name out there with that Curtis Vodka joint. People loved that record- I mean people way beyond the bmore resurrection hype and mp3 blog shuffle, they were all over that thing when we played it in the store. This new one from the Trouble & Bass crew is still "bmore" based in sound, but goes in way harder than Curtis (I know Sing Sing drums don’t necessarily equal Baltimore Club, but what else are you gonna call this stuff? I think Blu Jemz coined the proper name "WBB" – White Boy Baltimore or something like that). Whereas Curtis Vodka’s record was vaguely pretty and made you feel good- this shit hits you square in the head and might make you wanna punch somebody. It’s good. Tough call but I think my favorite on here is Math Head’s "Magnum(1)," reworking the Magnum P.I. theme with all sorts of breakdowns and party chants. Not cheesy at all, and barely recognizable if you aren’t looking for it, this one is just clean and effective. For something more straight to the dancefloor gut, check "Uptown VIP(2)" from L.Vis, a sped up remix of Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. The first verse is left intact, but things really get fun when they start fucking with those intro horns (same ones used on "Hips Don’t Lie") for the remainder of the track. Drop The Lime has two tracks on here, both showing signs of some serious work and more of a grime / dubstep influence. Checkout the slowed down "Juggernaut(3)" with signature dubstep bass drops and the reworking of Ciara’s "Get Up(4)." "Dirty Ride(5)" is a Chamillionaire remix (little late for that), but "Ballers(6)" is an all purpose joint that you could play any time. Another solid one from these guys. Buy at Turntable Lab
FHZ002 - Yeti Bounce EP - Debut album from Curtis Vodka. Souled out icy keys putting a new spin on Baltimore Club. "Me & U", "Hey Girl", "Shoulder Bounce", "Mary Jane 2006", "Diamonds & Cream", Alaska has never been so hot.
Turntablel Lab Review
The only thing I know about Curtis Vodka is that he posts on the hollerboard and they reviewed his mix cd in the Fader (which we never got, Curtis if you read this, we’re interested), but this guy has put out a ridiculous record of b-more influenced edits (right here) so I had to do a little investigation. And the kid is from freaking Anchorage Alaska! That wouldn’t really mean much if the tracks here weren’t so badass. If you like those kind of emo Baltimore cuts like "Girlfriend / Boyfriend," you just found your new favorite shit right here. Curtis does these things so properly with mellow keyboards laid on top of the standard drum breaks, the exact right amount of vocals and all the little things that put them above a simple mash up. Enough of pandering though, check the sound on his mix of Cassie’s "Me and You(1)." Shit bumps. And the hip hop remixes are so on point, check "Shoulder Bounce(2)" and "Mary Jane(3);" just drawing on that southern smoke with codeine keys and choppy "Sing Sing" beats to keep your brain moving. Shits like a fucking speedball son! I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t kept up with my Omarions and Chris Browns so I’m not sure who the singer is on "Hey Girl(4)," but that might be the most addictive joint on here. Bonus track is a remix of the OG "Diamonds Are Forever(5)." So soulstrut has their outlet in the Melting Pot label, and now the hollerboard has theirs with Flamin Hotz, is that it? Bring in on, message board peoples got talent.
