Udachi & Jubilee, “Paypur (Nick Catchdubs RMX f. Kid Daytona) MP3

Kid Daytona raps on this track like he is lounging in a turtle-shaped innertube in a sparkling pool drinking a daiquiri: so chillaxed he don’t give a fuuhhhh (and certainly cannot be bothered to finish the consonants on the end of his curse). He is not going back to Cali, because he is already the human embodiment of Cali. It’s a languorous drawl, and deeply enticing on Nick Catchdubs’ wobbly reimagining of “Paypur,” the guttural morning-after counterpoint to Udachi and Jubilee’s original ramped-up rave playdate, though both sound like you’re on vacation. It’s just that this one’s laudanem-addled synth barks on the chorus twerk like QBert on a c-walk, as Daytona packs enough swag to reference “UberTwitter” without sounding like a total hoser. Incidentally, you can now cop the entire “Paypur” single here, including a jizillion remixes for your every whim, most using that awesomely infallible synth descent.

Premiere: DJ Ayres, Nick Catchdubs and Jubilee, “Flashing Lights Mix v. 4″ x NYC Party Info

Ayres, Catch and Jubilee are having the first installment of their glowsticky NYC monthly since Studio B shuttered its doors, and while we are sad about that closure, the train ride from our office-crib to their new venue 88 Palace (88 East Broadway) is way easier than trying to hike to Greenpoint’s industrial wilds (sorry dudes, if it makes you feel any better we didn’t see our cousin for like a year just cause he lived in Queens). If you’ve never been to Flashing Lights, Friday August 14 is the time to do it: not only will the resident trio drop their regular melange of synth rattlers, twerky house and subbass bombxplosions, they’re hosting guest stars Toadally Krossed Out’s NYC debut, which is marked on our calendars with little lightning bolts pointing to it, because these dudes go OD hard (heteropause) on every track they’ve dropped so far (including the exclusive that kicks off Ayres’ portion of this mix). AND it’s Jess Jubilee’s bday AND her single release with Nightshifters mega raver Udachi—so if you have any interest in dance music, fun, nature sounds, epic parties, amphibious rave music (raves on both water and land), sweaty drunk dudes taking their shirts off and/or blowing out your own synapses you should probably hit this up. Cop the Flashing Lights Mix v. 4 and tracklist here for a preview, flyer after the jump.

Exclusive: Duck Sauce (A-Trak & Armand Van Helden), “aNYway” Stream

For the last four months, we’ve been seeing the Fool’s Gold fam randomly twitter the words “Duck Sauce.” When it happened once we thought it was some sort of weird new inside joke, or a diss, or A-Trak was lunching at Panda Express at an airport somewhere. But they just kept twitting it, back and forth, A-Trak saying “DUCK SAUCE” and Catchdubs @’ing him back all “YERP,” and we were like What the fuck dudes! Enough with the Duck Sauce! But then we found out what Duck Sauce is and now we’d like to officially reverse our position on that. We’re totally fiending for the Duck Sauce! MORE! DUCK! SAUCE! Because it’s a collabo project between A-Trak and Armand Van Helden! We got a few of the gossamer club tracks yesterday, and the one streaming below sounds like rollerdisco’ing with the crew from Central Park through a flashing neon rainbow while drinking a milkshake. Please excuse us while we pass out now.

NYC: Hump Up The JAMS + Exclusive Megamix by DJ Lindsey, Catchdubs and Mattie Safer

Long-running and long-funning Wednesday party The Hump is calling it quits on April 29th, but dry your butt’s eyes because our sis DJ Lindsey is moving on to even humpier pastures with the new Thursday night JAMS party at Le Poisson Rouge, joining FADER bros 4-ever Nick Catchdubs (Fool’s Gold) and Mattie Safer (Throne of Blood) for what we hope will be a long run of epic, sweaty, possibly partially undressed and probably partially memorable nights. And to get you psyched for the jump off JAMS, not coincidentally hosted by The FADER, the triumvirate blessed us with this brand new mix, which appropriately defines the lanes each will be swerving in come April 30th. Download below, check the flyer and tracklist after the jump and meet us next week in the downtown area!
