Funk and Grind: Deep grooves and vintage nudes,

And now something completely different, courtesy of Dangerous Minds :)) Russ Meyer meets James Ellroy on a street named Hot Buttered Soul.

This is uber-funky, great universal soundtrack to any home party with amazing vintage shots of oldschool strippers, hippie chicks, biker girls and many more. Tits are O.K. but just listen to these moog synths and groovy as hell rhythm. This music has not aged at all, at all for so many many years. Gimme a dancefloor NOW! A real treasure.

Emalkay - Crusader (Dub Police)

Wow, Emalkay in this oldschool (innit?), broken step, junglist tune with fantastic drums just brought back all the great memories of dubstep glory back in the middle of the first decade of 21st century. Great video to the great music! Good to see Dub Police still in form :) If this tune does not turn you on and does not make your ass wiggle like crazy you should immediately see a proper doctor, 'cause DrKrank's blog is ain't no place for you!  

Check this Dub Police release on Boomkat. Unfortunately, the track on the flip - Power Tool is more 'up-to-date' meaning your typical drilling, heavy half-step roller, which is nothing special to be honest . But the A-side, oh yes the A-side is worth the money!!!

Nosaj Thing "Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)"

Nosaj Thing "Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)" from Alpha Pup on Vimeo.

Today, Poland celebrates its Independence Day, which means a long weekend of four days off :)) I need this badly after really tiresome week. Atm, chilling out at my parents' house, doing nothing surfing the net. Finding some hidden treasures, like this great video of the great remix!

Lazer Sword - Beast's Reprise video

Paul Trillo from SF-based collective The No Problem created a really fascinating video of Beast's Reprise from Lazer Sword's hugely anticipated album (officially dropping today). I ceased buying vinyls long time ago, but I was tempted to buy Lazer Sword's debut album just for the sake of amazing artwork. Finally, I chose a CD which is already on my way :))

Tricil - The Emancipation

I love to receive media packages with music which really turns me inside out, which is exactly the case with Tricil and his absolutely mesmerizing spacey electronic trip through the ocean of deep bass in The Emancipation. This music attunes so well with my internal neural make-up I've put it on constant repeat like for ever while suspending my multi-tasking approach and diving deep into the beautiful sound. What is more, this track come in package with a fantastic video created by the Burning Head crew from UK. This piece is a submission to the Enter Calico project which is an exciting audio-visual compilation by UK electronica label Clear Notice. Tricil is the first artist featured. Hailing from Atlanta,Georgia he is known for many diverse styles of music. This is his contribution to the heavy bass world.

The Enter Calico album is available for purchase on ITunes

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY DOKTOR KRANK!!!

And the great video !!!

I'm absolutely enchanted by this tune at the moment. The original is O.K. but this remix is mind-blowing. It's even better than Lunice' work.

BANGER SLAYERS FROM HELL - CONTRA BASS, BIAŁYSTOK, METRO 22.08.09

Białystok, Metro Club, 22 August 2009. CONTRA BASS. Best party of the year, great vibe. I had so much fun, I danced my ass off. My neck, my legs, all my muscles hurt for 3 days afterwards. This almost reminded me of tribal/industrial/trance parties at the beginning of the 90's when Poland had just kicked off communism and embraced the West with all its pros and cons, including acid/extasy culture and rave revolution.

Here are some pictures and vids shot by your humble humble narrator (bear in mind under the influence of various, ehmmmm nice drugs, alcohol including). Bangers were flying high, crowd was sweating and dancing, friends were there and girls were smiling and shaking their asses and DJ's definitely had the best time of all :) I was totally surprised how well everything clicked and exceeded my expectations. My best friend DJ Koola played the best set I've heard of him in like, hmm 10 years. Heavy, fast, banging and whompy, full of drops and kicks, killing basslines and fantastic remixes. My brother DJ Montek equipped with a Mac, Ableton and controlllers actually played his first full-digital / no vinyl live set and he fucking set the dancefloor on fire! He shot bangers with the speed of an Uzi and when the dancers couldn't stand more ended them with heavy dubstep sub-bass. I'm really proud of my brother's skills. Expect a heavy mix from him soon on my blog. Dtekk had to replace Montek behind the decks at 2 a.m. probably saving a few dancers but nonetheless continuing with propa sound what two rudebwoys started. Uff, this was a hell of a party and great closing of the summer in Poland. Well, I couldn't make to Flying Lotus, HudMo, Tim Exile gig in Katowice this weekend :(

Koola on the buttons !! What a hug with Montek!

Montek killing with bassline Mumdance remix! Actually this is the best track of my 7yr old kid :)

More Montek and wicked shit

Koola and some ladies (there's too many men, too many men, we need some more girls in here!)

Th' Mole - I hate you video and update

Uber funny video joint by Th' Mole of one of the best songs from his Greatest Hits vol. 1 ha ha ha album (check my review here) - "I hate you". I'd even risk saying "Poor girl" :) But probably she deserves this, so .....

On the other front: Th' Mole is back from 3.5 month tour of the world - I strongly suspect he is partially augmented to survive such a sleep-deprivation, no-rest traveling and all those different kinds of food he most probabl had been fed by promoters (oh yeah I know sth about this). And he is working on a new stuff - two or even three FREE maxi-singles to slap you in the face in the next few months. Can't wait Jonah!! Read a nice wrap-up on Daly City blogspot.
