Premiere: Venom & Damage, Maximum Carnage II Mix MP3
London duo Venom & Damage’s Maximum Carnage mixtape series possibly references Spider-Man comics, and if you wanna take the metaphor all the way, this collection of originals, remixes, edits and “other” is as evil as the character Carnage’s own wrath of destruction. If you never thought funky house bared its teeth enough, Maximum Carnage II is your baby: a nearly full hour of unrelenting conga syncopation, monster garage and bassline thunder and sick samples straight from the synth doomsday cave, all kicked off with their nasty, soon-to-be-pressed-on-vinyl remix of Bok Bok’s “OMG.” Even their remix of Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex,” as previously mentioned, sounds vaguely creepy and exactly how hard we wanna get down on a dancefloor (no sexual). Check the tracklist after the jump, and if anyone called Demoglobin tries to holler at you at a rave, run away.

Video: Venom & Damage, “Deeper”
We’ve been burying our faces in UK funky house as of late, fiendishly copping anything we can find by Crazy Cousinz, Roska, Fuzzy Logik, Geeneus, NB Funky etc, yearning for its clacky percussion and liberating synth riffs. Brit duo Venom & Damage not only did the only version of Jeremih’s “Birthday Sex” that we can listen to without puking, they also made the single most next level video we have seen perhaps all year. It is an acid-neon wolf wandering the earth, skies and a crossword puzzle. It is to promote the song “Deeper” off their forthcoming mixtape, Maximum Carnage II (best) and as a piece of internet art, it is genius. We are considering moving to London based off this alone.

Exclusive Stream: DJ Skee & DJ Drama Present R. Kelly, My Demo Tape
- story THE FADER
The thing about R. Kelly singing/rewording/remixing today’s popular hits is that he kind of bests them. This is not a surprise, considering it’s, you know, ROBERT MFing KELLY, but it breathes new life into songs you maybe thought you hated because the radio plays them 74 times an hour. (NYC morning radio rotation: “Birthday Sex,” “Best I Ever Had,” “Knock You Down.” Repeat.) Of course Kellz kicks it off with The-Dream’s “Kelly’s 12 Play” because the man will never refuse an opportunity to be meta. This is Drama’s best Gangsta Grillz in a hot minute, no?
