New Music: Hyper Crush – Ayo (Temabes Remix)

Remix of the Dutch house track by them Temabes boys. Track is cool but the cover artwork nudged it off the “Should I post it or not?” ledge it was sitting on:

New Music: Busta Rhymes – Dangerous (The Big Beat’s Next Level Mix)

I’m normally skeptical of these kinds of remixes but this one, by Germany’s The Big Beat crew, is actually really good! Check it:

Video: Art of Fresh Live at Arlene’s Grocery for CMJ 2010

Via Arcade 44 TV:

“We caught Art of Fresh at Arlene’s Grocery, during their CMJ showcase in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Hailing from Canada, this crew from the north was anything but cold! The crowd was dancing, the jams were live, and their energy was completely infectious. Art of Fresh’s latest album, Back to the Earth* is in stores now.”

Seriously, Art of Fresh’s When The Night Comes In album (* note: Back to the Earth is not their latest album!) is one of my favorites of this year. They brought hip-house back but kept it funky and soulful, not some corny electro, hipster sh-t. Please believe it! Here’s one track from it:

And hit the jump for some tracks from their previous album, Back to Earth. (more…)
