Resident Advisors :: America’s Best Local DJs (Week 3)

Last week, we decided to take a few minutes and spotlight some of our favorite local resident DJs from around the country. And the response from the DJ community and URB readers was so overwhelming that we decided to make it a new weekly feature. So keep leaving your suggestions for face local DJ in the comment section (please include links, residencies, styles) and we’ll keep checking them out and profile the jocks we like the best.

Here’s the new DJs for this week…

The Cool Kids – “Big Talk” (MP3)

We’re going on almost three years time since The Cool Kids graced the cover of URB magazine, and there’s still no proper full-length on the horizon. While this has to be some sort of frustrating record set by Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks, we can’t stay mad when they periodically drop a track like “Big Talk.” Three listens in and we still can’t figure out what the heck that buzzing sample is supposed to be. If “Big Talk” becomes a hit, will the ‘ketamine hornet’ sound become all the rage in hip-hop?

Huoratron Contest!

Sometimes I binge on on Kpop and then I feel way too sugary, too effervescent  – and then all I feel like doing is that move they do in moshpits where the person is both kicking and punching the air, sometimes an innocent bystander — sometimes a wall. Well if you, like me, feel like any of the above you should send over your e-mail address, phone number and name to tonamiepr@gmail.com for your chance to win a pair of tickets to catch Huoratron at Evil Olive Chicago, IL; on Thursday Novemeber 11, 2010. Contest closes tonight, you can catch Huoratron on tour now — check out the tour dates after the jump. *open only to 21+
