Unearthed From A 2006 Session, Boys Noize Shares Intoxicating Tribute to Donna Summer (MP3)

Just days into reeling from the passing of one of the most incredible voices in music, fans should find some solace in knowing that the whole of the dance world mourns the death of Donna Summer along side them. Debuting a tribute he wrote to the disco queen’s most notorious hit some six years back, hard dance troublemaker Boys Noize show off a surprisingly more subtle side of his production style in a bootleged ode to “I Feel Love“.

Arpeggiated and pitch-bended to near perfection the end result, entitled “Donnstag“, is softer and more seductive that perhaps even the original. All in all the result is bliss and introspective, a perfect way to remember those beautiful days when just closing your eyes and tuning out was a brand new experience, when the multi-colored lights of the discotheque were so impressive you …

Gathering of the Juggalos – The Real Story

When URB first heard about the incidents at this year’s Gathering of the Juggalos, we winced and laughed and tried to move on with our lives. Then we found out that we actually know The Mangler—the video/photo auteur whose footage has made it’s way around deepest corners of the internet. Turns out The Mangler is a Los Angeles music guy who took the time out of his hectic party schedule to travel to Cave In Rock, IL and experience The Gathering first hand. He told us he was looking for a few good stories and a couple of laughs. What he got was an unexpected new outlook and respect for the Juggalo community, even in light of the fracas that has caused so many folks to view this outsider culture in a new and even more negative light.

We asked The Mangler to give us a guided photo tour of his weekend at The Gathering. He gave us the good, the bad, and let’s not be polite at this point—the ugly. …MORE

King Fantastic – Why? Where? What? (MP3)

Gangster Never Left

A concise study in Westcoastsynthesizerbeachbumgangstermusic, as interpreted by Killer Reese One and Troublemaker.

King Fantastic’s debut album, Finger Snaps and Gun Claps, will be released June 15th on Hollyrock, through digital distributor DashGo, and direct-to-fan platform Topspin Media.

King Fantastic consists of two prolific West Coast artists: Killer Reese One and Troublemaker. Killer Reese One is one half of Los Angeles rap group Bleu Collar, and is not only a gifted lyricist, but also an accomplished fine artist who has contributed works to openings in Southern California. Troublemaker is an internationally known DJ and producer, also from the City of Angels, who has toured and worked with artists across the musical spectrum and received critical acclaim for his remixes of artists such as Johnny Cash, Linkin Park, Matt and Kim featuring De La Soul, and Nina Simone.

As two Los Angeles natives who grew up listening to hip hop, and specifically West Coast gangster rap, they have come together on a modernized ode to the music that inspired them. The genesis and genius of their work is the minimalistic lyrics and production, which come crispy and clean, and hard and heavy, with every song.

In support of the upcoming album, here is a free mp3 download of the song “Why? Where? What?” which is an excellent representation of the direction of the album.  Stay tuned for the official music video for this song coming soon as well….

Troublemaker’s Posse Unleashes “Rad Anthem” (Video)

What is Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald doing in a strip club? Certainly nothing except the brand of mischief we would expect from fun-loving DJ Troublemaker. The boys (eh, fast food characters’) night out has a horrifying transformation, which I will not spoil, but this is one of those videos you can’t stop watching and is gaining traction across the web.

RAD OMEN - "Rad Anthem" from Nicholaus Goossen on Vimeo.

This new project bears some resemblance to a Lord of the Rings style fellowship, if it went bad:

Born out of the mouths of wolves and serpents. Raised up by degenerates and whores in the gutters of your forgotten cities. Among the spawn of your outcast, your rebuked, your …

“Words cannot describe the amount of happiness this song brings me. I consider De La Soul to be the greatest group in the history of hip hop.
