Like A Sound You Hear That Lingers In Your Earhole


Dan Deacon sits on the e-couch with Pitchfork Masterblog to discuss the way his music/scene has been potrayed in media + blogz, and more importantly, how he's taking it up a notch for DD 2.0 (titled Bromst and slated for this fall) with reduced woody woodpeckers and enhanced live instrumentation.

This is a relief; homey's a classically-trained musician and we all know he has many, many more tricks up in those sweaty sleeves. Taste some of the new juice tomorrow night when he and Diplo hit Sonar. This night will be full of ridiculous, senseless shenanigans, and you might be going for free (contest is over).

Win A TaxLo Stimulus Package!


Whereas most six-year-old's birthday parties are lame and/or take place at McDonalds, the TaxLo team has been on a month-long celebratory bender with the likes of Cut Copy, Bonde do Role, Death Set, Diplo, Blaqstarr, XXXchange, Dan Deacon and more.

Now they're not only inviting you to join the jam (XXXchange played Talking Head last night, Diplo and Dan Deacon are at Sonar this Friday), they've got an impressive, bulging b-day package with your name on it. It might look bigger than it really is because the gift bag is fashionably small, but still.

The TaxLo Stimulus Package includes:
2 tickets to DIPLO and DAN DEACON at Sonar on 5/30
DAN DEACON t-shirt (clean and washed)
CUT COPY tote bag and 3-D glasses
DIPLO AEIOU CD
TAXLO buttons and 6-Year Anniversary Screenprinted Poster by Kevin Sherry
BONDE DO ROLE sticker
PONYTAIL Kamehameha CD
BLAQSTARR "Shake It to the Ground" 12" and remix CD single

To enter, just email us by Thursday night if you'd care to get nice (as they say over at Brahsome). Bonus points if you're willing to dress up like a mustachioed little league coach at the show on Friday.

Get Your Supercaliente Gutter Mambo On


So hard to keep up with the Bmore kids these days, what with 16-year-old Rye Rye touring with (and sometimes upstaging) M.I.A. and spitting over beats from Mad Decent mentors Diplo and Blaqstarr.

Recognize that nasty blue water?

This Friday - Diplo & Switch Tear Up Sonar








































Wall to wall freakout and musical revelations. These dudes produced most of MIA's Kala by the way, along with tracks and remixes for the who's who of dancefloor bird flu filth including Spank Rock, Bonde do Role and Simian Mobile Disco.

This is the last stop on a tour that's been dropping pants and emptying crates across the states for two weeks. We also hear there's an afterparty from 2am-6am thrown by Stretch and Cobra Krames, not sure about the location yet but we're hoping it's Never on Sunday. Everybody seen the leprechaun say yeah! Get tickets here.

Spank Rock - Put That Pussy On Me (Diplo Tonite Remix) (it's good, be patient)
Bloc Party - Helicopter (Diplo Remix)
Beck - Go It Alone (Wish Coin Remix by Diplo)

Here's a recent mix Krames did for our favorite XM Radio station XMU, hint for the ladies it begins with Blonde Redhead and Nancy Sinatra so don't be afreared.
