  • Freeload: Kanye West "New Workout Plan (Skratch Bastid Workout Riddim Blend)"

    5 hours ago — Yes! The songs-with-the-same-word-in-their-title DJ blend is back like it never left! Canadian turntablist Skratch Bastid (check his 2003 Justin Timberlake routine) turned his wicky wickies towards the accapella from Yeezy's "Workout Plan" and placed it over FADER favorite Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor's Workout Riddim, and we can't think of a better Thursday morning kickoff. MORE MASH, ASAP! Have you guys heard of these Franz Ferdinand characters? Missy Elliot? Download: Freeload: Kanye West "New Workout Plan (Skratch Bastid Workout Riddim Blend)"

  • FADER TV: Young Jeezy Talks About The Recession

    21 hours ago — "When times are hard, reach for that card," went the slogan of the fictional weed delivery service in Half Baked. Young Jeezy doesn't have a card (at least not one he was willing to exchange with us), but he has a monumental album called the The Recession dropping September 2nd that he's hoping will provide some type of relief and/or advice for those being hit the hardest in these times.

  • Ghetto Palms: Heatstroke Riddim / Tiger Balm / Tic Toc

    22 hours ago — Every week resident FADER selector Eddie STATS runs through dancehall riddims and other artifacts from the ghetto archipelago. Usually I come up with little themes or sub-atomic genre designations (you know, like "Gun-drop" or "Afro-trance") for every mix I do on Ghetto Palms, partly because half the time these things are just sketches or outtakes from a larger mix CD concept I’m working on.

  • Diesel, U Music + The FADER Present Happy Hour During The Capitol Hill Block Party

    23 hours ago — If you're in Seattle this Friday July 25th and Saturday July 26th, hit up the Diesel Store (1503 Fifth Ave) after you're all hot from seeing bands at the Capitol Hill Block Party and catch Friday DJ sets from Syd Butler of Les Savy Fav, Tad Kubler of The Hold Steady, and Saturday DJ sets from The Dodos, Steed Lord, DeVotchka and Colby B.

  • Video : Pitbull f. Machel Montano & Lil Jon, "The Anthem Remix (Defense)"

    23 hours ago — The original version of "The Anthem" has been crunktifying quinceañeras for months now, but it took Machel Montano jumping on the refix to bring it to the bashments. We're not sure what either of them did for someone to throw some actual paper down for a video, but when you fuck with both artists as hard as we do, you're geeked for any visuals, let alone the two haunting the freaky abyss of their own video set as willy-bouncing ghosts.

  • Freeload: Mr Martelo's Fancy Mixtapes

    1 day ago — In the Jedi Mind Pix section of FADER #55, we described guest picker Mr Martelo thusly: You could try to call him on his landline in London this summer, but he wouldn't answer; Mr Martelo's iCal is booked through fall as Santogold's worldwide touring DJ. We'd hire him, too, after hearing his mega-'naners productions of house, breakbeats, bassline and extra creative refixes (Rick Ross reimagined as heavy, foggy dubstep, oh hell yeahs).

  • On The Street: Summer Knits

    1 day 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

    1 day ago — When we were in Ghana for our story on hiplife in FADER #52, one of the non-Ghanaians all Ghanaians (especially the gals) were talking about was Lagos' 2face Idibia, mostly on the balance of "African Queen", which was playing everywhere at the time and is now playing on his MySpace. 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)"

    1 day ago — Now this is how it started: the original version of Farley Jackmaster Funk's "Love Can't Turn Around" was one of the earliest Chicago house songs to cross over as an international pop hit, and 20+ years later it crosses right back, newly licensed by UK label Back Yard. 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.
