  • On The Street: Summer Knits

    5 hours ago — We used to think wearing sweaters in the summer was a straight-up style oxymoron. Pits stains, sweaty palms, and a possible risk of heatstroke—the pitfalls (no pun intended) are just too many.

  • Video/Freeload: 9ice, "Gongo Aso" + "Street Credibility" f. 2face Idibia

If you're in DC on August 1st check 2face out for yourself at the JFK Center.

  • Freeload: Farley Jackmaster Funk, "Love Can't Turn Around (Boys Noize Remix)"

The reissue comes backed by remixes (duh!) from indie clubbers Lifelike, Dolby Anol, and most notably, Boys Noize, who puts aside the buzzsaw techno of his Oi Oi Oi LP to create a violin-looped thumper that stays true to the jacking spirit of the original while ensuring the chopped-n-blogged generation gives it their full attention.
