Few tracks over the past year have inspired more re-imaginings than Jamie Woon’s “Night Air,” co-produced by Burial. Of the dozens of official and bootleg remixes that arose following the single’s release, the premier versions are widely held to be a trio of Ramadanman’s remix, Becoming Real’s edit, and the following work by Deadboy:

Jacques Greene – Tell Me (Kingdom Edit)

Kingdom remixes his Night Slugs labelmate, Montreal’s Jacques Greene. In the hands of Kingdom “Tell Me,” originally the soft, understated closer to Jacques Greene’s debut LuckyMe LP The Look, becomes a remarkable re-imagining – maintaing its subtle draw while amplifying the track’s layered, twisting, and pulsing dynamics. Truly amazing work.

See Kingdom drop this tune live at the Night Slugs Showcase with Bok Bok and Girl Unit March 25th at SAT.

RBMA Spotlight: Lunice

liamokeefe — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:33:09 +0000

Lunice Fermin Pierre II has taken over the asylum! In little over a year, he’s taken hold of the electronic beats scene across Canada and the US, and set ears and heads ablaze with his mixture of beats, bass, and splintered electronica. Taking cues from Warp, Bangladesh, Dilla, and Ed Banger, Lunice knows exactly how to craft a recipe that makes dance floors bump and bass bins thump. With remixes forthcoming on Big Dada, Young Turks and a solo EP on LuckyMe, Lunice will be conducting the sound of clubland for a long time to come.

Check out one of his RBMA Radio mixes and an interview below!

Hey Lunice, can you tell us a little about yourself?
I’m 22, from Montreal, Quebec and I love rap music.

Congrats on the release of the Stacker Upper EP on LuckyMe Records. What made you want to release this EP?
Thanks! Releasing my first solo EP was one of my biggest goals since day one. I’ve always had the idea of releasing an EP. I felt that I wouldn’t work on it until I feel that I’m ready and that the sound I’m experimenting on at that moment would make sense for a release. Now my next goal is to release another record!

You are so energetic on stage, not to mention your fancy footwork in LunicexLAZERSWORDS Gucci Sweatshirt . Do you feel live producers / DJs should look to become performers on stage?
Not really. Producers & DJs should do whatever seems to fit for their set. I never intended to “perform” on stage, it just sort of happened after numerous alcoholic drinks and me going in front wildin’ out with the crowd and having the time of my life, haha. I guess since I used to be a full-time B-Boy/dancer, I was naturally able to do cool moves which to me seemed like “whatever, I’m drunk” dancing, but to people it seemed like “whoa cool moves!”. I’m used to performing infront of crowds at breakdance shows,so I’ve gotten used to sending a certain type of energy to the crowd and having them respond back in the same way.

Check out the remainder of the interview over at Red Bull.

Check the Interview Lookout ran with Machinedrum a while back – Travis Stewart is a man of many aliases and identities.

Following his Many Faces of Machinedrum EP with LuckyMe he released another sequence of tracks caught full of his manic, stylistically fluctuating realms suspended somewhere between the club, the dusty basement hip hop studio, and the insane asylum. Check out the new release “Let It” and try to get on his level before he fogs up Club Lambi this Friday, February 11 for the LuckyMe Label Showcase:

DOWNLOAD: Cubic Zirconia Remix EP

liamokeefe — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 22:34:28 +0000

To be fully prepared for Cubic Zirconia‘s live show this Friday, February 11 at Club Lambi, it’d be best to grab hold of the new EP of remixes their label LuckyMe recently made available for free online.

Frontman Nick Hook calls his group “live ethnic disco,” but reworkings from club stalwarts Egyptrixx and Ikonika and left field G-Synth master Dam Funk spread and/or skewer the sound all over the dance music spectrum. The remixes come in advance of the NYC four-piece’s upcoming album Follow Your Heart.

Grab the tracks here!

Both releases are limited, so move quick! Whatever B-side CDs survive the week will be some hand-painted physical copies on sale at the show. The original Ardour, painted by Teebs himself, was gorgeous, so these are must-haves.
