Schlachthofbronx f. Big Space & Spoek Mathambo, “Holdin That Dick” MP3
- story Sam Hockley-Smith
How awesome is it that in 2009 it’s totally viable to email an editor explaining your contribution to a song as “bass and airhorn.” Just like when the Mighty Mighty Bosstones had that guy on stage that danced around and never touched an instrument. Granted, Schlachthofbronx is understating his contribution, which also includes that sound from Duck Hunt when you kill a duck and it torpedoes out of the sky, and hyperactive percussion that acts as the perfect foil for frequent collaborators Big Space and Spoek Mathambo.

Schlachthofbronx, Belly Full of Pills Mix
For the Bavarian bass party in Schlachthofbronx’s release schedule, these German pranksters compiled a mix of wobbly house excerpts from their forthcoming Belly Full of Pills. The proper EP features Slush Puppy Kids aka South African bros Spoek Mathambo and Big Space, while this preview showcases their overdriven house synths on reggae/reggaeton beat patterns and gets fairly nasty on the vocals to frame the confluence of flashing lights with flailing booty. Also, it’s possible they are inventing new genres: At about 9:15, it gets real Addams Family-y with the organ tweets… should we call it haunted house? Ha!

Today, We Are Winning At Life!
We were already feeling pretty awesome today, having just shipped our extraordinary next issue (total mindblower) to the printers and looking forward to the prospect of post-work margaritas in the sun. But now we feel even more awesome thanks to the internet: the Media critique outlet Mediate thinks our Phoenix cover story “runs laps” around the most recent issues of other music magazines. Also, one of our favorite bloggers/producers Big Space was stoked we wrote about his awesome track, because now he thinks he is going to get laid. Hey guys, we do what we can. Thanks a million!
Mr. V, “Put Your Drink Down (Big Space RMX)” MP3
Mr. V made this song “Put Your Drink Down” on Louie Vega’s label in 2006, which YouTube identifies as a “smash hit,” though we were apparently neither smashing nor hitting when it was doing those things (no sexual). But Johannesberg’s Big Space, real life bro of Spoek Mathambo and blogging/slang-slanging tour de force, decided to remix it in 2009 and leak it to promote what he calls “Operation Sweating Bullets.” True to his moniker, this is a wee nug of anti-gravitational house, however why in god’s name would anyone want to put their drink down? You can dance and hold things at the same time, people, it is totally possible and can on occasion look kind of cute.
