Mobroder

Fuck yeah, words struggle to express how awesome and fun this is. Side project of super cool disco MC Spank Rock with Blu Jemz and DJ Hoff, Mobroder is the epic journey of a fictional 70's disco kingpin of the same name through the wasteland of 80's Miami, battling European rivals and a broken heart. This is the album dropped for free in the form of a single mp3, so put it on and let it ride. This is a rock opera, but with disco. So you know, a disco opera. Do yourself a favor, and listen to the full hour of disco goodness. Motherfucker.

WIN WIN - Releaserpm

As some may know, I'm a massive Spank Rock fan. From their dirty, futuristic debut, to their classic mixtapes, to the remarkable production and remix work, I'm rarely not impressed. And their latest project, a production collective named WIN WIN, is no exception. Featuring XXXChange (producer extraordinaire and DFA outcast), Devlin (remixer and DJ) and Ghostdad (part of their extended Fully Fitted family and technical wizard), they're set to eventually release an album which is slated to feature vocals from Spank himself, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and Blaqstarr amongst many others.

The first taste from this project is called Releaserpm and features the vocals of Lizzy from Gang Gang Dance. Its a superb track, really dancey once it gets going while still being very forward thinking and fresh. Sounds to me a bit like a cross between Hot Chip and Panda Bear, which is something I've been looking for in music for a while now. A definite must listen, and I've decided to post it along with a few related gems for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Mobroder - Rush (In Flagranti Remix)

Back on my disco thing. I've been in struggle town of late finding the new fresh stuff, cause most of what I get, I get from WarmKitten and Scenic, and I'm trying not to just reblog everything from them, no matter how good it is.

However today, I've been lucky enough to come across this absolute jam of a remix from In Flagranti. Those guys are absolutely fantastic and have made some of my favorite disco tracks, due to their dirty and relentless attitude and vibe. This time they're remixing the new Spank Rock concept group, Mobroder. Essentially the concept goes that Spank is the black version of disco/synth godfather Giorgio Moroder, stuck in 80's Miami trying to reclaim his soul. Interesting concept and if anyone can pull it off, the gotta be the Supercool Disco MC Spank Rock.

No originals have surfaced yet, but this remix is fantastic. Its classic In Flagranti, a driving and bassy groove with more cowbell than a DFA record, complete with Spank's usual disco raps. A must have track indeed.
