I revived an old music blog from the early 2000s?

Maybe it’s been a foolish endeavor, and maybe I’m the only one who misses the blog ol’ days, but I’ve been giving it a shot. I’ve been working on restoring some of the old content, though much of it was lost. I’ve slowly been rebuilding the old remix sunday archives, and even posting the occasional new edition. And I’ve been writing again.

You can find all the label’s releases here, on bandcamp, or most anywhere you listen to music these days. I’ve still got copies of some of the old vinyl releases, and I recently released the first in a set of charitable cassette compilations to raise awareness about the continued [mis]use of broken windows policing methods.

Plus, I put together a playlists section with a handful of spotify lists that hopefully start to capture a [slightly] updated version of the moods we used to peddle. Give those a listen and a ❤ if you would be so kind. If you want to get in touch, just give me a holler.

  • Niyi

    I remember having an obsession with Niyi’s few rap tunes just after his club night was the first to be labeled “New Rave”, his best friend started clothing label ‘Cassette Playa’, and his former schoolmate M.I.A. had first uploaded her video for ‘Galang’ to the internet. High ranking royalty in London underground art for over half a decade now, Niyi has finally put out a new single, and finished a full length album set for an early 2009 release. Seemingly inspired by weighted global issues as much as drunk banter, new Niyi ate up everything pop, indie, and rap… and threw up funny colors.

    Niyi – “808 Klap” (mp3)

    Niyi – “Amelia” (mp3)

    From the future: Anyone know what Niyi’s up to now? I can’t find anything recent about him.

  • Avrosse

    Liverpool’s Avrosse is like Mark Knight meets Tocadisco with embarassing beginnings in scouse house. His tracks have gone over well during my sets. Here are two of his remixes, but his originals are serious techno fire and I encourage you to listen to his stuff on his myspace.

    Ame – “Rej” (Avrosse Remix) (sc)

    From the future: Mick Willow – “Chicago” (Avrosse Remix) has been lost to the sands of time.

  • Lauren Flax & Sia – You’ve Changed

    Brooklyn’s Lauren Flax enlisted the vocals of Sia (Zero 7) for her latest track. Lauren Flax is an unstoppable human-being who is capable of not being stopped. Ooooooohoohhhhhhhooohhhh

    Lauren Flax & Sia – You’ve Changed (sc)

    From the future: Sia released another version of this a couple of years after this version was released, on her ascent to superstardom.

  • Friday: Events Around the World.

    Palms Out is involved in two exciting events tomorrow (Friday, Sept 19th) spanning the Atlantic ocean. In Brooklyn, Club Vortex returns with some lovely guests and your always impressive resident, Kingdom. And in Copenhagen, I’m playing with an amazing cast of characters including Fagget Fairys (with a live balkan band), Fidel Astro aka Eddie Confetti, Bitmobilen (dubstep on gameboys), Exboyfriendclub, and more.

    Maggie Horn & Scottie B – “Wanna Whine” (mp3)

    James Nasty – “You So Hawt” (mp3)

    The unstoppable Sweat.X, from South Africa and composed of Spoek Mathambo and Markus Wormstorm, just sent over a new track from their upcoming 187 EP, plus a remix by our friends Purple Crush, who recently ate my delicious lasagna, and remix by The Bulgarian, who unfortunately has not tried my lasagna.

    Blow, blow, thou winter wind

  • Turzi – Brasilia

    Turzi – Brasilia”

    Turzi are from Paris.

    Imagine that after Lemmy was kicked out of Hawkwind the remaining members of the group opened the worlds largest discotheque called “Turzi”. And the ceiling was like 6 feet high, and Michael Garrison was the bartender, and all the drinks were delicious and the bathroom stalls were Glass Elevators like the one Charlie and Grandpa and Willy Wonka rode in.

    Their track “Brasilia” is beautiful, it’s complex, and it’s full. It feels faster and slower than it is at the same time and would be an amazing track to greet you as you entered a club, or something to listen too when you really need to figure some things out. It’s from B – Turzi’s forthcoming album available soon on Record Makers.

  • Ratatat – Falcon Jab (Copy Remix)

    Portland’s Copy (Marius Libman) is a staple of the city’s indie-electronic scene as much as E*Rock’s Audio Dregs. His remix of the already psychedelic labelmate Ratatat is a winning combination.

    Ratatat – “Falcon Jab” (Copy Remix) (mp3)

    From the future: this song seems to have disappeared from the internet almost entirely, and it’s no longer for sale anywhere, as far as I can tell. So it’s back here as an mp3.

    It is elementary that freedom of expression (including academic freedom) is not to be restricted to views of which one approves, and that it is precisely in the case of views that are almost universally despised and condemned that this right must be most vigorously defended.

We got to listen to their version of Danish grime and were duly impressed. Myself, Johanna from 626, and Lina from The Touch also got to tagteam DJ after Lucy & Blaqstarr did sets at Vega in Copenhagen. Enjoy this great piece of stop-motion for her first single, “No VIP”

  • Dylan x Dap-Kings

    Dylan fans will be pleased to hear that the fine people at Columbia Records recently announced the release of a fifty-one track Bob Dylan Greatest Hits compilation, expected to hit stores later on this year.

    One of the more interesting tracks on the comp is a remake of “You’ll Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)” off Blonde on Blonde. DJ Mark Ronson orchestrated the mix, and it features instrumentation by our good buddies the Dap-Kings from Daptone Records.

    “It’s the first time Bob Dylan’s given anyone the original multi-tracks of his songs to do remixes,” the producer explained. “I’m a huge Dylan fan, so it’s a great honor, and the fact that he heard it and approved it, as you imagine he’d be quite picky.”

  • UGK – The Game Belongs To Me

    UGK – “The Game Belongs To Me”

    Sample Wednesday 27: Daft Punk

    This is my favorite edition of Sample Wednesday so far. I think most of you will be as shocked as I was to hear some of these tracks. I couldn’t have put this together without inspiration from the girl Elizabeth. She put it well: as you hear these tracks you’ll either decide Daft Punk isn’t as genius as you thought they were or that they’re twice as amazing. I just know that for any Daft Punk fan out there, these tracks are essential. In other words, don’t skip this one.

  • Palms Out Mix Series Vol. 1: Snack & C’mish

    A few weeks ago, my friend Ben invited me to eat Korean BBQ with him and his friends. I was lucky enough to meet one of his friends, Jay, a very sweet guy who goes by the name Snackmaster. He knew Palms Out, and told me he had grabbed a Chromeo edit a few weeks before from Remix Sunday, for the mix he and his padna C’mish had recently done for Lemon-Red. Of course I had no idea which song he was talking about, and felt like a fool. But it was all for the best – I asked him if he’d be interested in being the first up in our brand new feature–the Palms Out Sounds Mix Series–where we ask your favorite DJs to step outside the box- and create a special mix they’ve always fantasized about. Lucky for me (and you) Snack & C’mish were down, and the result is this absurdly great mix of classic electro, disco, and house: Midnight Run.

  • Mehdi, umm… Rare

    This is how he’s described on his myspace page:

    DJ Mehdi gets so cosmic with the synths that it’s as if you’ve woken up in an alternative 1983, where Thatchers rule has been replaced by that of benevolent aliens.

    His upcoming album, Lucky Boy, is magnificent. It’s my first real taste of a smoother side of the french-touch revolution, besides maybe the Justice & Simian track – which is apparently closer to what Justice’s album will sound like. I guess all the distortion is already played out, huh? Mehdi has been making hiphop in Paris for the last 10 years with the likes of MC Solaar, Ahkenaton, K-Os, and Lil’ Dap of Group Home, and he’s been part of this current Parisian electro scene since its beginnings. He also runs the small label Espionnage, but is releasing his album through international favorites, Ed Banger. Enough explaining already, this shit speaks for itself.

    DJ Medhi – “Lucky Boy” ft. Fafi (sc)

    DJ Mehdi – “Leave It Alone” (sc)

    DJ Mehdi – “Busy Being Born” (sc)

    DJ Mehdi – “Boggin” (sc)

    From the future: Sadly, DJ Mehdi died on September 13, 2011. He left a gaping hole in the French music world, and no doubt in the lives of his loved ones.

  • Badman Forward

    After reflecting on a conversation I had with my partner in rhyme recently, I’ve realized that there’s been a serious lack of dancehall flavor here on Palms Out. Believe you me friends, all of that is about to change. Yeah there’s tons of sex, money, drugs and guns in many dancehall reggae tunes, yet many of the artists are so immensely creative with their cadences, intonations and approaches that they usually end up flipping stale ass subjects a quadrillion times better than their hip-hop counterparts. So, for your listening pleh-jure, there’s a couple of joints that if you were DJing a reggae party right now and didn’t play them, you might literally get run up out the damn club. And if you thought solicitations for sex on wax could not possibly be done in a new way, peep the Vybz Kartel joint below, or any Vybz Kartel tune, for that matter.
