New Lab Radio! - Feeling all these eclectic jams this week. We put some of Madlib's latin jazz project on there, along with some awesome nigerian rock, classic disco, rare indian psyche, neo soul and more. It's quite a buffet plate of sound.

From the folks who brought you Life Sucks Die and Dre Day now bring you our brand new Burlesque of North America podcast. Click the logo above or right here to subscribe and check out mixes from some of our favorite DJs. Today we just uploaded a brand new red hot mix from Trouble & Bass' Star Eyes. It's 40 minutes of UK 4x4 and other heavy bassline electro stuff.

Star Eyes will be in Minneapolis next Friday night spinning at the release party for our Do it To it EP alongside heavy hitters Dave Nada and Bird Peterson and a large local lineup.

New mixes on the way from Bird Pete, Tactic, King Most, DJ Shad, Bitch Ass Darius, and many more.

So after I got off work at Teddy's (name drop) last night, i headed downtown to this Harvey/Sarcastic party to meet Pube$ & Road Manager Barry. By the time I got there it was already like 2:45 and Pube$' punk "my moms in town" ass was already talking about bouncing. Since I paid $20 to get in I said fuck it and stayed to listen to the legend....

Cut to one hour later and I'm in the middle of the spot dancing my ass off all by myself, no friends, no drugs and no alcohol! To be honest I don't really dance that much, but last night I had no choice. I spent nearly three hours dancing by myself as Harvey maneuvered between three turntables, a reel to reel tape machine and a Bozak mixer (I'm assuming).

Why am I writing this? TIME TO STEP OUR GAME UP PEOPLE! For the last time it's not about photo shoots, headphone endorsements, who's the best at scratching, how many B-More remixes you've turned out, who your booking agent is, what hotel your staying at, etc. It really is about the music and giving the people a feeling they'll always remember and turn to when life has them trapped.*
