Sleeping at the wheel

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Yes…it’s summertime…hence why I was a bit slow to post those next two songs. Alex Metric has been on a tear in Europe, especially in his native UK, where he is combining lots of different styles to create som every cool remixes. This remix of “One More Chance” by Bloc Party is a total summer banger. Who knows…you might end up drunk and lying close to these girls with this kind of beat blasting in your car.

Neil Armstrong is alive and kicking!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Neil_Podcast_Header

We dabble mostly in electronic music lately but we’ve always been hip-hop fans here at the83s. You can count on us to keep you posted on the coolio and illy things happening in that art of the musical game. My man DJ Neil Armstrong (Jay-Z’s latest tour DJ) decided to use the 40th anniversary of the Lunar landing to launch is own podcast. You can register via iTunes to stay hooked up with the best mixtapes in the world. Neil has always been deeply inspired by old school soul and hip hop beats. They make for very unique and orignal mixtapes that we suggest you download and, hopefully, purchase his mixtapes here to support him…it’s simply the perfect pre-party music with a good bunch of friends. Check it out.

In the mean time, two unreleased mixes from Neil:

This is a live mix of Neil and fellow 5th Platoon Member DJ Daddy Dog on Half Time Radio back in 2006.

And a shorty but oh so goody “Dear Summer” mixtape

Robot Love

Monday, June 1st, 2009

I often mass download music, burn it to a cd and listen to it on my way to work or even on road trips out to the city. It allows me to concentrate on certain elements of songs and often enough I find little gems to post about. I call these : Car Bangers !

Yesterday was no exception, I was posted up in a parking lot waiting for somebody and this song came on… I’ve always been a Röyksopp fan, but the drop in this song is incredible when played at high volume.

The Girl and The Robot (Chateau Marmont Remix) – Röyksopp

Sticking with the robot theme, I found this track while cruising the net over the week-end. You may remember The Shoes from certain remixes as Teen lover by The Virgins and Dusk till dawn by Ladyhawke. Well they’re at it again, and here’s their latest creation !

I Am Not A Robot (The-Shoes-Remix) – Marina & The Diamonds

Osheaga is coming our way…2009 will be GOOD!!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

Well, the83s were certainly present at the 2008 edition…we had a blast…and we are going again this year!! This festival flat-out rules!! We’re going for the full week-end in 2009 and the recession won’t even come close to stopping us!! The line-up this year is very sturdy: Coldplay, Beastie Boys (how badass is that!?!?), Girl Talk, Lykke Li, The Roots, The Tings Tings, Crystal Castles, Beast and many other bands that should deliver one hell of a show. The outdoor event, held at Parc Jean-Drapeau, will be on August 1st and 2nd. Prior to this, on the 30th and 31st of July, will be Osheaga in the City, which should have other bands and DJs performing somewhere downtown Montreal to really kick off the event and the week-end. Overall, we can’t wait.

You can find all the information here and buy your tickets here.

Still got my NIKE shoes !

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

You know your BIG when NIKE makes your shoe ! That’s right, The 83’s just scored their own running shoe :) No Jokes… Actually, I was at a mobile marketing conference today and Nike I.D. was brought up as an example. I figured I would give it a shot and scored myself a pair of “one of a kind” custom The83’s Nike shoes ! You know how we do ! I’ll write a review about these when I get them in 4 weeks :)

WE IN THE BUILDING !

Nike Boots – Wale

Kid Sister resurects hip hop

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I used to be a BIG hip hop fan back in the days. I guess the quality downfall of the music as well as the limited subjects they now talk about (22’s, Cars, Whores, Cocaine and Money) made me dislike this gender of entertainment. But now, Kid Sister broth me back in to the light. Check out this summer banger that just makes you want to throw a pack of hot dogs on the grill!
