Last week Double O’Dub entered a beat flip contest on the Blog Sessions LA.
The goal was to remix an Herb Geller track, Space a la Mode, into an updated beat.
Earlier this week, our man Dub placed 2nd.
Check his beat out here, and check out the other entries over at Sessions LA.

Double O’Dub created this track a few months back for a friend’s video project.
He has since started to build off of this style and plans to come out with an EP in the near future, but until then, Enjoy.

How’d this one slip by my radar?
Digging this Beastie Boys video ft. Santi Gold.

My favorite belly dancing electronic music act rolled through The Bean this past long weekend. Beats Antique killed it at the Paradise on Saturday night, opening for them was Filastine and the duo Thornato & Tumi of the Cumba Mela Collective.
All in all, a great night of entertainment, plus it being my first time to the renovated Paradise, I found myself enjoying the new set up and addition of Rolling Rock Tall Boys to the beer list.
The Beats that are Antique, who were touring off their new album, Elektrafone, really brung it with their untouchable performance.
The open-openers, had a great afro house grove, and got asses shakin ‘n bodies warmed up, but the real surprise of the the evening was Filastine, the one-man-electronic-band from Barcelona. Dude literally plays out of and all over a shopping cart to get ridiculous hits balanced by MIDI synths, some smooth and some staccato.
Check out his video for Singularities; it’s like Koyaanisqatsi meets RJD2.
Oddly enough, my wife and I ate dinner right next to Filastine before the show, granted we were separated by a pane of glass, and an army of cockroaches deterring us from getting any closer (gotta love Alston), besides, we had no idea who he was or what type of performance he was about to drop, anyway I think he likes Pad Thai.
Also, not to leave these fellas out, I’m digging this track from Thornato sampling Ladysmith Black Mambazzo. Funny story, but Reg and Dub were working on a Laysmith Beat on Friday night… coincidence, … entirely 🙂

I’m a big fan of the Pretty Lights lineup, but I’m especially digging this track from Gramatik, While I Was Playin Fair.

I stumbled over these old Kanye beat samples a little while back.
Hype Men Present: Kanye West’s First Beats (Disc 1)
Hype Men Present: Kanye West’s First Beats (Disc 2)
I’m not as big a Kanye fan as I used to be, but it’s really cool to see his roots, because he is an example of a producer who’s made it.
