These retro-styled headphones feature the coolest "new" headphone design we've seen in a while. The RP-HTX7s look so sleek (especially with the understated blue-ish grey ear pieces), plus they include all the correct vintage details like an authentic leather, sewn head band...   expand review  cushion and extra-cushy ear pads. As for sound quality, the RP-HTX7s compare favorably to Sony's V500 with 40mm drivers and 1000mW power capacity, making these ideal for listening and casual home DJ use. The RP-HTX7s include an extension cord and a headphone input adaptor. - retro-design - single cable - includes extension cord

Whoa….a serious ad campaign pushing Chk Chk Chk's new LP. The Sacramento/NY group seems to be everywhere, and although singer Nic Offer's lyrics have been critically dismissed as puerile, asinine and irrelevant, he delivers on the first single "Pardon My Freedom(1)" with...   expand review  a chorus of "like I give a fuck, like I give a shit" and lead lines like "you can tell the president to suck my fucking dick." It's difficult to come off as equally stream-of-conscience and deliberate, so irreverent and angry yet thoroughly enjoying the confrontation. I imagine this ringing out from Brooklyn rooftop parties in late August when NYC burns in the wake of the Republican National Convention. With machine gun guitar reminiscent of Jimi and U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," this track romps. The b-side, "Shit Scheisse Merde(2)" begins like Dre's "The Watcher" played at 45rpm…and echoes a lot of West Coast rap's sonic palette. The b-side also includes a Maurice Fulton Instrumental Mix of "Pardon My Freedom." This single is limited edition. -P Gorgeous

Mr. K strikes again!!! Danny Krivit is like a bloodhound when it comes to master reels and he's unveiled another major discovery. He gives up all the goods on Foster Sylver's kiddie-gangster-UBB-funk classic "Misdemeanor." First he drops the original 1973 mix(1), followed...   expand review  by the truly wicked instrumental version, the incredibly useful acapella dub, and lastly a brand new Dr. K re-edit(2). For this edit, Krivit takes full advantage of the acapella, teasing us with a couple bars of Foster's sweet voice, and then unleashing those crisp drums... then the bass... wait a second... then those signature bells (or whatever that sound is). Also I never noticed how cool the guitar was in the original. Highly recommended. -the mgmnt

Now that Juve's back on top with "Slow Motion," it's time to re-visit the track that blew him up in the first place. Of course "Ha" put him on the map, but "Back That Azz Up(1)" ruled for an entire summer. Includes...   expand review  instrumental. -the mgmnt

This one gets the... hooooly chit! Look at that tracklist - it's like they custom built this 12" for the Lab. I'm gonna go out on a (short) limb and say this is the best M.I.A. single to date. In addition to...   expand review  the already banging original version(1), we get Blaqstarr's remix(2) with Rye Rye, Diplo's remix(3) with Bun B and Rich Boy, Scottie B.'s ultra weird Bmore club styles(4) and the DFA(5) getting down like usual. Even Adrock from Beastie Boys(6) couldn't help but get in on it with a reggae-tinged mix of his own. There's a mix here for everyone (8 in total!) so drop it at your next gig and *boom boom boom boom* take the money. Also includes instrumental and acapella. Recommended. -Larri Byrd
