Kidz in the Hall, “Flickin’ (Nick Catchdubs & Proper Villains RMX)” MP3
Hey, it’s garage and funky! Or plain old frickin bass music—whatever you people wanna call it. (Does Wiley need to intervene?) A little hip-house vibe in there, too, towards the middle, which is so very Nick Catchdubs, it’s like he can read our minds. Or maybe that was a little Proper Villains flourish, as he knows his way around a little breakbeat jangle. Either way, these dudes make a good team, big up to the way they dropped out the beat when the Kidz said “brick house” or whatever.

Video: Wiley f. Emeli Sande, “Never Be Your Woman”
Admittedly, when our friend Catchdini told us last week that Wiley had redone a version of White Town’s “Never Be Your Woman” (a welcome staple in Catch’s ’90s sets), our first reaction was: Blaaaaaarrrgh. Cause like… What’s the point? We’ve been feeling apprehensive of some of Wiley’s poppier tracks as of late. Perhaps we had too much hater juice that day though, because now that we’re giving it a chance, it is in fact the best hip-house track we’ve heard since the ’90s. Emeli Sande’s voice is exactly the right shade of sultry and resigned, and Wiley’s dropping honest rhymes about being a man-ho and how it totally bums him out but there’s nothing he’s really doing about it. Such a classic genre and yet still feels so fresh. And def. Ha. (via Discobelle)
