Diplo & Douster - ON

Our boy Douster just dropped this track with Diplo today and in his words is "the summer banger". I must say there are definitely some other Douster tracks I am looking for most notably the remixes he has been working on with Mad Rad. I can't help but toot our own horns, okay?

Tactic / Supremo EP

My main dudes in Portland, Ben Tactic & Lincoln are some solid dudes. They grind. Tuff. Ambassadors of pushing the most future thinking Bass music parties in PDX. Got a chance to play with them again last month at Holocene and as always, had the time of my life flexin' wit em. The dude Ben just kills it on the moombahton tip. Not big hands in the air rave anthems, but sexy vibes to make girls sweat their week long troubles away type stuff. Peep the press release below and lets get to dancin'

Portland Oregon via Kansas City dj & producer Ben Tactic brings some thick tropical vibes with his new Supremo EP on Think 2wice Records. Both tracks are firmly rooted in moombahton, the much talked about new dance music genre that fuses elements of reggaeton, cumbia, dancehall and Dutch house. The title track, Supremo, fuses the traditional dem bow drum patterns found in moombahton with a classic b-boy sax sample and percolating synths. The second track on the release, Coroa de Ouro (Crown of Gold), is built around a sample of children singing in Portuguese.

Ben Tactic is best known as 1/2 of the dj & production duo Tactic along with Brent Tactic. Their remixes and original productions have been released on labels such as Mad Decent, Dress 2 $weat (Numbers), Palms Out Sounds, Slit Jockey and their own label Think 2wice. Ben also helps run the ground breaking club night Bubblin in Portland that has featured the regional debut of artists such as Roska, Dave Nada, Ramadanman, Kyle Hall, Nguzunguzu, Distal and Dre Skull.

MANDILLA's - A Face In Time

Pun(c)ution gallery presents, new work by Ms. Mandilla !

 (graphite on wood panel, 36" x 48")

"Embracing age in a world of botox and tummy tucks.  I choose to dive deep into the wearing age as a chronicle of a lifetime.  And question: when we re-make ourselves, are we revealing our true character, or are we stripping away our very identity?"

"While working on this series my curiosity grows every time I see someone wonderfully wrinkled with stories and those wrinkled with wisdom. I have a strong urge to hear the mystery's explained, I want to hear the conversations between those stiff wrinkles. In these portrait's I get to indulge in making up my own stories of each while confronting all the fears of aging."

Come out. Drink some drink. and Enjoy.

GVCCI HVCCI

I haven't posted in a while, so I think its about time. I've been loving this girl called Gvcci Hvcci [pronounced Gucci Hoochie]. I found out about her through an artist named Ritualz who featured her in his latest EP titled Ghetto Ass Witch. The lyrics to the song and the sound of her vocals made me want to find out more about her. She's still quite a mystery but she's entertaining w/ dirty and sometimes almost evils lyrics which I find pretty creative. I wrote her and asked if she had a release coming out and she says she'll have a mixtape out sometime this year but for now, here's a 2min crazy video by her called Crack The Whip (Cut The Rope).

Death Grips - Guillotine

Lar showed me this song a few weeks ago, and soon enough the rest of the guys started to see the video on their own and it quickly became an anthem in the van on tour. That was until we heard the rest of their record.. YAH!!

Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci

Yerp. She's cute, has got some bars, but is this THAT DOPE?!?!? I cannot hate, I dig it, but I'm still not sold.
