Mad Rad Bumbershoot 2011 T Shirt

Headed down to Winners Circle right now to pick up the new Mad Rad tee's for Bumbershoot. We wanted to tie it in with recent release of Douster's 'The Youth Die Young' remixes. Head down to Seattle Center this Sunday to cop yours. We play the Fisher Greeen stage at 2:15.

Mad Rad X Douster "The Youth Die Young" Remixes

Lyon, France based tropical dance DJ/producer and global bass alchemist, Douster releases remix EP of Mad Rad's The Youth Die Young. Tied closely to Zizek Records after spending two years in Buenos Aries, Douster takes cues from his love of hardstyle, house, bass, cumbia, dancehall, and rap to transform club music into a sonic gumbo. Douster has put out remixes for Rusko, Gucci Mane, Toddla T, and released singles with Diplo, Savage Skulls, and Chilean producers Zonora Point. Now, he puts his spin on the electronic hip hop rumble of Seattle's Mad Rad. The remixes see Douster veering into future Chicago house, half time speed merengue / half space juke, Miami acid bass house, and ambient 808 machine funk. The Douster and Mad Rad combination is a mix you can sink your ears into.

Mad Rad is a Seattle based group that has shaken up west coast hip hop with their combination of electronic focused dance music and frenzied live show. The Youth Die Young is their second full length album, and the band has been supporting it hard by relentlessly touring and playing the Northwest’s largest festivals. Douster got to know Mad Rad’s music after playing a show with the group’s DJ, Darwin in 2009. They exchanged music over the next couple years, chopped it up over Flocka’s new mix tapes, and established a like-minded musical rapport. Douster touched down in Seattle earlier this year for a show, and when he heard tracks off the new record first hand in the studio, it became obvious remixes needed to happen. Now, for your free downloadable listening pleasure, we give to you: Douster’s The Youth Die Young remixes.

DOUSTER THE YOUTH DIE YOUNG REMIXES:

1. The Youth Die Young
2. The Machine
3. Jungle Cat
4. I Want Your Blood

Stealing Space Needle

Guerrilla Candy put this together while we were at Sasquatch. And I must agree Trent Moorman is hilariously annoying in interviews.

I Want Your Blood - LexiconDon Remix

The homies in LA remixed our very much vulgar, party starting jam "I Want Your Blood". This shit knocks soooo hard and can't wait to hear it bang out on a dance floor. I'm loving the vocal edits, the gigantic breakdown, and of course the piano solo outro. As P Smoov said: "It's not often we get a remix that is better than my version. This shit is fire!"

Tattoo

So a friend of a friend sent me this picture saying her friend is getting this tattoo for two reasons: 1. Because he is entering the Army and 2. Because he loves Mad Rad. Cheers to this guy for not only supporting good music, but also this country. We wish him nothing but good fortunes out there.



Which now leads me to ask.. Which member of Mad Rad's face would you get on your body? Leave comments below.
