Record of the Day: DJ Solo x Mitchy Slick x Excision

DJ Solo has been dropping loads of tracks over on his soundcloud page. Solo is the dude responsible for that 8-bit/dubstep/midi-sounding version of “Blitzkrieg Bop” that came out last year. Yes, the classic Ramones tune. I know that sounds weird. That’s because it is. Look it up.

This particular track is a mash up with San Diego rapper, Mitchy Slick blended over an instrumental by Canadian dubstep producers, Excision and Downlink. From what I understand, DJ Solo is putting together a video entitled “DJ SOLO’s Alice in Wonderland” where the film Alice in Wonderland is chopped up to accompany Solo’s mixes. Again, I know that sounds weird. I’m sure it will be.

DJ Muggs x Dizzee Rascal x Bambu UPDATE

@DJ_Muggs @DizzeeRascal #djmuggs #dizzeerascal

Some behind-the-scenes footage from the “Snap Ya Neck Back” video shoot. Evidently I was right about this being a track from the upcoming “Bass For Your Face” full length record as opposed to it being a one-off single. Again, eagerly awaiting the LP. BOOM!!!

Record of the Day: DJ Muggs x Dizzee Rascal x Bambu- “Snap Ya Neck Back”

@DJ_Muggs #djmuggs @DizzeeRascal #dizzeerascal

According to DJ Muggs’ twitter feed, he and the boys are filming a music video for “Snap Ya Neck Back” today. This single marries the classic West Coast rap of yesteryear with a booming grime-style feel. Although obvious dubstep elements are present(in a good way), this is NOT “bro-step” or remotely pretentious. It’s hard and banging. Muggs has been hip to dubstep for some time now. I suppose you can kinda call “Snap Ya Neck Back” a gangsta grime track. Whatever. It bangs. Makes me wanna get a driver’s license just so I can blast this whilst driving wicked SLOWLY.

Bambu is pretty nice. I have one of his mixtapes from last year. It’s probably still available at the Soul Assassins website. You already know enough about Muggs and Dizzee. You SHOULD at least. Otherwise… get hip! “808 snare, snap ya neck back”!!!

Also, I remember Muggs talking about making a full length record of tracks like this called “Bass For Your Face”. I’m assuming this is a single from said record. Speculation. Muggs says: “It’s where I am at the moment in my never ending quest to push the envelope of sounds and styles”. I haven’t come across a release date for the LP as of yet. We wait patiently. In the meantime, enjoy the single.

The first LPRC record suggestion(not review) of 2012. BOOM!!!

Released 2012 via Soul Assassins.
