For the first time, the South By Southwest music conference is hosting an official showcase of classic bounce and the artists need financial support to help make this happen. Artists on the bill include Partners-N-Crime, DJ Jubilee, Katey Red, Big Freedia, Vockah Redu, Magnolia Shorty and Ms Tee.

As you may know, SXSW has booked its first-ever official showcase of
classic New Orleans bounce. The seven artists on the bill are all
straight-up originators of the sound, and few have gotten their just
due for their awesome contribution to New Orleans music. We need your
help getting them to Austin in March, and we have some kickass rewards
in store for generous helpers who believe in getting the music out
there.

Below is the link to our fundraising page. Please blog it, share it,
forward it, repost it and do all those social networking things people
do with it!

If you’ve ever been a fan of bounce music, please consider donating. There are some amazing rewards for the various levels of support. Please check out the details and support this.

Freedia has a new track out called “Get Back” which you can grab from nolabounce.com where I’ve written my first post. If you like Bounce, it’s a great place to check for tracks – take a look.

Here’s some video I shot of Freedia rocking the crowd at Caesar’s. It’s shot with my still camera so its pretty dark, but you can hear the crowd getting wild.

Another track getting a lot of club spins is ”Hamma Tyme” by Monster.

Monster – Hamma Tyme

Even bigger than “Hamma Tyme” is “Hut Hut” which I believe is also by Monster. I don’t have the mp3 at the moment, but I’ll post it when I can. You can listen to a clip here,

I’m currently putting the finishing touches on the Sissy Nobby single I produced. Be on the lookout for that in first quarter 09.  I just got the DJ Sega remix this week and it’s bangin!
