Exclusive: The Electro Wars Trailer (Video)

Steve Aoki, A-Trak, DJ Premier and more appear in upcoming documentary 

People taking the initiative is always welcome in a time where being bland leads to being cool. So, when someone puts out a product on a culture that’s in a creative limbo, we get to see its ups, downs, and all-arounds. With The Electro Wars, director and creatvor Stephen Vasquez wanted to capture the essence that is electro culture–from the skimpy skirts to the tightest jeans and the most distorted sounds humanly possible to manipulate. With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”

Has Spank Rock Found Jesus? (Video)

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Spank Rock. Rumors are that the booty rapper has been getting into Christianity or something. He certainly looked the part, joining Swedish pop group Staygold onstage at a Swedish music awards show wearing a priest’s collar and crossing himself. But listen to the lyrics and it still sounds like the same old booty-obsessed Naeem. Maybe Jesus was a freak?

Robyn also offered a verse at the end of the song. But that’s probably just to fill the 60% Robyn mandate on all Swedish broadcast channels.

Kid Sister – Ultraviolet (Review)

Kid Sister

Ultraviolet

Released by Downtown Records/Universal Republic Records


Kid Sister has teased us over the last three years, giving us tastes of her cheeky and impeccable flow, spunky personality onstage, and hyper antics during interviews. The tracks that made the blog rounds two to three years ago, like “Control” and the Kanye-assisted “Pro Nails" had everyone dancing and curious to see what A-Trak’s lady could really do beyond making the rounds at Chicago hipster parties.
