Laidback Luke & Diplo teamed up on the sure to be massive single “Hey” which is out July 14th on Dim Mak. The release comes with 8 remixes and I happily contributed to the mayhem. I haven’t leaked it to anybody, but the promo is hitting the network. Keep your ears pealed and buy this release.
Check Laidback Luke dropping the original.
The site is going through a redesign. Not quite finished, but had to share this Lil Keke “Live Your Life” freestyle off his “Universal Ghetto Pass” mixtape. Still jammin Houston. Michael Watts is still forever in charge.

Just a few tidbits from around the web. The Sizzla T-Shirts are selling out..just a heads up, in case, you end up needing one for the conceptual Youtube genre that is taking shape. See above. Also, in recent DJ mix news, Laidback Luke dropped the Buraka Som Sistema remix of “Gone Too Far” in his mix for KISS FM last Saturday night. Funny thing is I spent last Saturday in the studio working on a remix of a certain upcoming Laidback Luke and Diplo track…hey! Catchdubs and Ayres did a joint promo mix “Just Kickin It…” for their upcoming Australian tour and Catchdubs snuck the Buraka remix in as well. Quality mix through and through. Grab it here and check the full tracklist at Catchdubs’ fine blog.
Also, I’m heading to New Orleans tonight for a ten year anniversary party for Katey Red’s “Melpomene Block Party” (her first album) and the line up is massive. Gonna be SERIOUS business. Posts to follow.
77Klash came through the studio last month to record on the Skull Riddim and the subsequent single “Call Me” is up for download at The Fader. Check for it…
