I haven’t posted some Three 6 in ages (or any Santogold), but I had to post their remix of Santi’s Shove It (Which Jay-Z sampled for Brooklyn (Go Hard)), it’s definitely loop play status. Thanks to SmokeYYY for posting up some of their best work in a minute.
Santogold Ft. Three 6 Mafia & Project Pat – Shove It.
Sphere: Related ContentAt the start of this month I saw a mesmerizing promo video for Diplo’s 2004 album Florida on Mad Decent’s blog that I never got around to posting. Despite the lateness, I highly suggest you watch it, the edit of Juveniles’s Ha makes it worth it all by itself, the rest is just icing on the cake. Oh yeah, it kinda gets NSFW too.

Can’t stop listening to this Pase Rock/ Fully Fitted track, which was done to celebrate the kinda-big deal events of Nov 4th. Thanks to Catchdubs.
Check out the Fully Fitted blog as well.
Note from AM: I’m pretty busy with midterms right now, so I’m bringing back Jorge from Bang The Box for a guest post in the Remix Tuesdays series. Read his last post here.
Huge respect to AM for inviting me back to guest on the Mighty Metal Lungies, but enough pleasantries, let’s get back to business.
From the first lick of Odetta’s “Sakura,” you should know exactly what this is, it’s a classic without need for argument. Spencer Bellamy’s seminal “Tried By 12” was snapping necks left and right in ’96 with its entrancing yet moody melody and Des’ ominously cold flow. I could break his verses apart line-by-line, but the citation and analysis of the clever wordplay contained within would extended for pages.
Originally touching down on Bellamy’s own 10/30 Uproar, the single was picked up by Chocolate Industries in ’98, and licensed to Ninja Tune in the same year. The beauty of Chocolate Industries backing this track was the onslaught of remixes that followed suit. Enlisting an A-List of abtract and forward-thinking producers for the double twelve, both labels capitalized on the beginning of the glitch-hop movement that is huge today — 10 years later. The release included flips from Ko-Wreck Technique (Push Button Objects & DJ Craze), Phonecia, The Herbaliser, Funkstorung, Autechre, Squarepusher, and Nick Fury to name a few.
Today you’re going to get served up with the video, the original and some of my favorite alternate mixes from that piece of deleted catalog. I’m all about spreading that rarity wealth and all of these hold special places in my history for one reason or another. They not only represent the classic sound, but what was the next business during that era.
I was going to make it 4 and not 5, but that Squarepusher mix is too funky to be slept on. Playlist all that shit, put it on blast, and enjoy.
Remix Tuesdays forever.

Catching up on my Mad Decent readings, gems were to be had as always.
First off, Diplo hooked up with the object every rappers jocking- M.I.A. and Switch to step in for one of Gilles Peterson’s shows on BBC1. Check the tracklisting and grab it now here.
Also you may recall seeing MSTRKFT’s remix of John Legend’s Greenlight. Diplo got his hands on the track and takes it to another level.
Also check Mad Decent’s rework of an Of Montreal track, who I’m not really a big fan of, unlike this track.
Some other stuff of note,
This Smalltown Djs mix done for Discobelle (click for track by track breakdown), is absolutley nuts. I just listened it today and I’m already on my 3rd loop.
D.O.E. (formerly known as John Doe) who was on a few cuts on Timbo’s last album and is signed to the Mosley Music Group put out a mixtape with an unnecessarily long title, Timbaland Presents: The Fall of John Doe-1. The Rise of D.O.E . This is supposedly leading up to D.O.E.’s debut album. I’ve yet to listen, but you don’t have to wait for me. Get it at his website.
