Boys Noize Lava Lava (Para One & Feadz Remixes) 12"
Boys Noize format: 12" lab price: $12.50 available: yes item #: dm-2579	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 I always found it interesting that this dude and Digitalism were both from the land where minimal reigns supreme, because there stuff is the exact opposite of subtle. Busy P himself said that Boys Noize could have easily been on Ed Banger.... expand review But oh well, he said screw signing with a label and started his own. So here we are with the third single of his debut album, appropriately tittled, Oi Oi Oi. First let me say that I guarantee that 9 out of 10 moms would HATE this, and we all know that is not a bad thing. The Original(1) is a bruising minimal electro cut with only a slight underlying synth line near the end. Listening to the sound sample should give you a good idea of the entire track. Remix man number one, Feadz, has a pretty diverse musical background, from making tracks on Germany's BPitch control label, to producing new electro hip pop cuts for Uffie on Ed Banger. Here he gets to utilize some of that Berlin-style attention to fine detail, while still keeping the intensity level at 10. The real shiner on this 12 though is Para One's remix(3) of non-album track 'My Head'. Less choppy than the usual Para production; think Soulwax remix without the epic build. This is peak time shit to the highest degree right here. I can see Steve Aoki right now at Cinespace - shirt off, sweating ballz, doing his little Jesus on the cross pose, staring at the heavens with his eyes closed as his disciples do handstands or backflips or whatever the hell they do there. Major! Also, with three handy noise loops at the end of side A. -Rezound

CSS Alala (Bonde do Role Remix) 12"
Sub Pop format: 12" lab price: $7.00 available: yes item #: lp-2949	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 Straight up: this is the best track from CSS' album and I'm really happy to see it getting a proper single release. Their first single was nice and dancey and all, but this is the realness! CSS are no joke and "Alala(1)"... expand review shows their harder side, perfectly contrasting the shimmery disco guitar and synths from "Let's Make Love" with buzzsaw guitars and a thick-as-fuck beat. I can't get enough of that little noise in the chorus – sounds like the girl from The Grudge! Maybe I'm a bit biased, but Bonde do Role's remix(2) basically rips shit up. Gorky and Pedro throw some baile drums under the dark, spooky keyboard sound from the original track and then proceed to chop the hell out of Lovefoxxx's vocals ("b-b-b-b-bitches!") while fading effects in and out of the mix. Awesome shit, and infinitely more mixable than the original version. Princess Superstar contributes a remix(3) as well, and the girls are kind enough to tack the acapella on the end for you lunkheads. -Chris Lemon-Red

Hot Chip Ready For The Floor Remixes (Diplo, Soulwax & Jesse Rose) 2x12"
EMI format: 2x12" lab price: $17.50 available: yes item #: dm-2638	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 4 All together now... THIS ONE'S A NO BRAINER! Deluxe gatefold double 12"s from the Chippies, featuring the album version of "Ready For The Floor(1)," a massive dub version from Soulwax(2) and a diry, stuttering, typically Dubsided mix from Jesse Rose(3). While those... expand review will be enough to satisfy most, Lab heads know the secret heat is on the fourth side, which has Diplo's remix of "Shake A Fist(4)." You know the dino wouldn't do you dirt! Plays at 45. Recommended. -Larri Byrd

Kanye West Stronger Picture Disc (Daft Punk) 12"
Roc-A-Fella format: 12" lab price: $13.50 available: yes item #: hh-3297	quick audio picks: 1 Official 12" pic disc release of the Kanye vs. Daft Punk track, "Stronger," with artwork done by Takashi Murakami, released off Roc-A-Fella. If you don't know this song by now, peep the madness - Kanye's vocals gracing the "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"... expand review sample slowed to a hip hop tempo, with a straight club beat underneath. I've always loved the original version of this song and I have a couple Kanye favorites ("Overnight Celebrity"), but hearing the two together is like history in the making. Call it a PB&J of music, if you will. Never before (and maybe never again) will you hear this combination. For the fans, you get a radio version, LP - clean and dirty versions, and yes... the instrumental. If you haven't checked the video yet, YouTube will help you out. Expect Daft Punk in a futuristic Tokyo, playing on controls boards making a bionic Kanye West. Crazy as it is, I think that's Cassie and she is fine yo. -C'mish

MSTRKRFT MSTRKRFT EP
Different format: EP lab price: $13.00 available: restocking item #: dm-2194	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 4 Oh man. Anyone who missed MSTRKRFT's full LP release have a second chance. All the hottest bangers from the album are here - "Easy Love(1)" (look up this video on YouTube now! Talk about sexually suggestive), "Paris(2)," "Neon Knights(3)" and their newest... expand review remix of their own song, "Street Justice (4)." These are all tried and true heaters that Snack and I have been spinning out for the last year and they all deserve to be in the "play out" crate. Get these while they're hot or weep later. Anyway you choose, the people must dance! -C'mish

Rub N Tug Fabric Live #30 CD
Fabric format: CD lab price: $17.00 available: yes item #: cd-1987	Rub N Tug take their leftfield disco-electro crack game to the Fabric series. This mix focuses more on contemporary 12"s than previous RNT mixes. Sharp Lab DM buyers should be able to name drop a third of the selections here, but the... expand review other part is where Rub N Tug make their name, presenting records you've never heard of or would never dream of playing. Of all the DJs we know, these guys are one of the best at creating their own style and selecting the records that other djs don't play. 17 fully mixed tracks from Jesse Rose, Emperor Machine, Serge Santiago, Ame, Nemesi, Dondolo, Gary Martin, Claude Vonstroke, Slok, and others. Packaged in a metal case. -the mgmnt

Spinbad Fabric Live #14 CD
Fabric format: CD lab price: $17.00 available: yes item #: cd-920	Revisiting some of the past greats from the Fabric Live catalogue, couldn't pass this one up. It's Spinbad in serious work mode circa 2004- that means all NY hip hop all the way (well just about, there's one Mystikal track on here... expand review too), with plenty of his signature blends, doubles and scratching. The guy is a professional in every sense of the word, and while it woulda been cool if he revisited some of his 80s Mix, Spinbad could make an awesome mixtape out of First Family records. His selection is really on some "this is what I would play in a NY club for an hour" stuff- starts mid 90s a "Déjà Vu" blend, Blahzay Blahzay, Crooklyn Clan, ODB, then onto mid school classics (BDP, Special Ed, Black Sheep, Eric B & Rakim), then to the old school (Sugarhill, Flash, Run DMC) and finally finishing off with uptempo favorites "The Creator" & "Treat Em Right." Not too many risks being taken, but that's not what this is about: the payoff is in the details. And even though it's only been a couple years since this was made, it feels like a time capsule of the perfect NY hip hop set from many worlds ago, a time and aesthetic that's probably gone for good. -the mgmnt
