When I played Tam Tam Buku on my laptop, my dear coworkers Athina Ibrahim and Chandra Drews immediately turned their heads and asked \"who is this?\". To their surprise, and a pleasant surprise it indeed is, it was White Shoes and the Couples Company. The group is about to release their newest record \"White Shoes & The Couples Company Menyanyikan Lagu2 Daerah\", a 5 song mini-album that have them reworking Indonesian folk songs into the group\'s brand of casino euro pop music. Tam Tam Buku resonate a very vintage sounds, nailing the production with a noticeable reverb on the instruments and vocals. The back and forth vocals of the guys and gals of the group is super catchy, and the delay-filled lead guitar and drums really stands out. This is a must listen, so click the Soundcloud embed below and enjoy!
This awesome 14th edition mix of (this one focuses on the year 1992) from the good chaps at is not to be slept on.
"After a tour of the 80s, the crew digs into the genre as it becomes a pop culture phenomenom in the 90s. Starting with the jazzy samples of the Native Tongues movement in the early part of the decade, with groups like A Tribe Called Quest and the Jungle Brothers, the series moves into the gangster pop of the East Coast/West Coast rivalry. Theres plenty of Biggie, Tupac, Dre, Snoop, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, club classics, forgotten singles, the start of the indie era with Rawkus, and flavors from different parts of the country as the genre expanded to the South."

To be perfectly honest, other than her radio hits (and the super-catchy "Baby I got your money" chorus on an ODB track) I am not too familiar with Kelis' discography. When I heard that she has a new album coming produced by TV On the Radio's Dave Sitek I started paying attention, and a preview of what's to come has been released in the form of a new single, "Jerk Ribs".
The song features a tight production by Sitek, with a percussion and horn section that particularly stands out. Kelis' singing here very much reminds me of an 80s Michael Jackson without the James Brown-esque shouts - a subdued, smooth, but no less attention-grabbing performance. Needless to say, I dig it.
The album will be released via Dave Sitek's label, Federal Prism.
Listen to the track and download it below:
Following up on their excellent series on local dance-music scenes throughout the world (they've already done videos on Detroit, Johannesburg, Berlin, Paris and Bristol), are back with their latest installment on the New York City underground dance scene. Definitely worth a watch.
"Not too long ago it looked like New York's glory days as a center for dance music had passed. As the birthplace of disco and hip-hop and the home of legendary nightclubs like the Paradise Garage, Limelight and Twilo, the city has long been part of the cultural fabric. But as the notoriously grimy city of the late 20th century transformed into the sleek and hyper-gentrified metropolis of today, its thriving underground lost its foothold."
For a Friday treat, here's a pretty dope and seminal hip-hop documentary, produced by Dutch television way back in 1986. It's a fun and sometimes eerie look on how the culture was back in the mid-1980s. Includes interviews and appearances by , , , and It also features lots and lots of gold chains, Kangols, beatboxing and hands waving in the air.
