Stream: Crookers f. Kelis, “No Security”

What with the epic “Scars” with Basement Jaxx and this sparkly dubstep joint from our Milano party brethren Crookers, we’re impressed by Kelis‘ sudden ubiquity, having just popped a kid and gotten divorced and all. As Annie Mac (that’s Annie Mac, right?) says on this radio rip, the new US mainstream’s interest in dubstep is kind of bazonkers, though we’re still waiting for that Jay-Z/Joker collabo. But then Ms Rogers has always been adventurous—you’ll recall her early work with Neptunes when they were the hottest shit in space—and we hear she’s been working on her new album with our beloved Switch, which sounds like one of the best ideas ever. Until that transpires, we’ll marvel at this YouTube rip of “No Security,” which Crookers put up on their own blog. That’s kind of funny, right?

Freeload: Annie Mac’s Y.M.A.C. Disco Mix

To kick off her Spring 2009 tour Annie Mac has put together the Y.M.A.C. Disco Mix (the title was apparently chosen by Twitter, which is weird) featuring jams from Treasure Fingers, In Flagranti, Mr Oizo, Chaz Jenkel and a whole bunch of other new and old disco luminaries. Besides being a collection of songs we can fuck with, it also serves as a nice prelude to the tour, which has her linking up with everyone from FADER blogger extraordinaire A-Trak to Fake Blood to Crookers to Little Boots to Mujava…we could go on and on, but instead we’ll tell you to register for her site (it’s free and not shady) and then download the mix below. Tracklist + tour dates after the jump.
