I was watching the international little league tournament on ESPN yesterday and I saw some little Mexicans opening a can of whoop-ass on some little Boricuas so I decided to post up some super-theatrical dramatic Puerto Rican rap music in honor of their defeat. The video's here and the download link is below. I'm pretty sure most of our readers are going to dismiss this as overstated commercial garbage (which it is) but let's try to see the beauty in it, yah?? This track is called "No Me Dejo" by Genio & Baby Johnny with the help of an enormous hype crew.

And to round out the free reggaeton session, here's some OLD SCHOOL ASS Brooklyn Reggaeton from MC Ceja, a track called Confusión from 1997, accompanied by a great club remix that updates the track a little bit, giving it overstated, dark gangster strings and synthesizers à la LUNY TUNES. YES THEY'RE 320S!! I like the older one 'cuz its kind of just reggae en espanol, from before the genre really developed its own distinct vocabulary, but its also got kind of a 90's hip hop breakbeat edge to it. You can still hear the ragga in it.

Oh while we're on the reggae tip, here's a cool remix I did of the infamous dancehall anthem "Under Mi Sleng Teng," bringing it into 145 bpm booty house mode for all ur mazh up partiez.

COCO BROWN AKA MS NO TONSELS AKA QUEEN OF PORN MUSIC.

I played this burner during a DJ set at a drag show a couple nights ago and the trannies went nuts.

We'll Bring You Up And Then Make You Want To Rip Out Your Eyes (Maluca / ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ)
So, first off...
Maluca, one of the new golden figureheads of Mad Decent has just released a mixtape for free download on the label site. Produced by Oliver Twizt, Mumdance, Ruckazoid, Kevin Seaton, and mixed by Paul Devro, practically every track is refreshingly danceable and interesting. Genre-wise, it's all over the place culturally (mambo de calle shakes to vogue house rhythms) and temporally (old school "undergraund" style "dem bow" to the hip and twitchy production that we have grown used to from the Mad Decent clan). All in all, this complete indifference to actually charting literal historical connections between various types of bass music in exchange for demonstrating their tonal, rhythmic or vibal (yes, I just invented that word) relevance to each other in the all-available signifier web of the internet is a great example of the way the "global base" movement has completely rearranged and re-quantified popular music for us. I don't think DJ Playero would have seen something like this coming in 1995, that's all I'm saying.
p.s. both "China Food" and "Fourescent Beige" are off the hizzay!
Second, let me drag (pun intended) you down into hell for a second with the new Mishka-released "Zombie Rave" Witch House, Drag, whatever mix from ℑ⊇≥◊≤⊆ℜ. Get it here.
That's right, that's his name. But don't stress trying to figure out how to say it, just don that ankh necklace that you haven't worn since NIN was big, splash your Doc Martins with blood and listen to him ssllooww dooooowwwn some real dirty rave shit for you. I think it might be the closest you can come to knowing what a heroine overdose feels like without, well, overdosing on heroine.
Oh, and check out the label if you don't know what I'm talking about.

3BALL GUARACHERA FREE-P

I kind of slept on this, but Toy Selectah has released an EP from Erick Rincon, Sheeqo Beat and DJ Otto, leaders in a budding techno movement that has grown out of a sweaty and frenzied underage rave scene in Monterrey, Mexico called "Gaurachera"or "Tribal" (pron. tree-ball). Not one of the three proteges is over the age of 19, and there is a kind of whimsical evil in the deranged stutter of the rave synths and shakers. For some reason, I can't stop thinking about how terrifying it would be to be stabbed in your bed repeatedly by a clown to the 3BallMTY! soundtrack.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
