You think my self promoting blog would be more timely but it’s been an interesting week sifting through tracks for a BOSS MAGIC! dj set I’m doing at what I’m certain will be one of the most memorable shows Sacramento has seen. On the heals of the amazing show they did last month with Daedelus and Tycho, SISTER CRAYON has one big ace up their sleeve tomorrow night. Their debut full length album “BELLOW” drops this week and they are putting on a very special CD Release show for their hometown friends and fans over at Luigi’s (Sacramento). Not only will those anxious to get their mits on the CD be able to buy it before anyone else can they will also be playing the album in it’s entirety live! I’ve only been to a few shows where bands played every song from an album but I will say that each time it has been a special kind of show. Something about being at that sort of show makes the album itself seem more personal and really makes those who buy the album excited for what they are able to now take home with them. An audible memory that they will be able to play at any time. So to hold you over till tomorrow I decided to post some videos and something a little exclusive for you folks reading this.
Sister Crayon – Why (BOSS MAGIC! remix). < did this back remix way back when Sister Crayon had two members and I didn’t have any band mates at all. ha.
Terra Lopez (of Sister Crayon) – Solo (BOSS MAGIC! reprise). < even further back when it wasn’t even called Sister Crayon.
I’m really stoked to even somehow be a part of this show but I’m also stoked for the line up as a whole. Opening up the night will be PREGNANT and K.FLAY, two artists who I’d started hearing mentioned more and more over the course of the last 4 months or so. Finally I was able to see Pregnant perform and immediately realized it was some much deserved hype I’d been hearing. Here is some stuff I was able to dig up online that really got me excited for this event even more so than I already was.
(really really dig the style that this track has)
Sadly I still haven’t seen K.FLAY perform live but holy shit is she on the level. I know this might sound rap sexist (?) but I really can’t think of that many female rappers that kill it on the mic without using the gender crutch card (yeah lil kim I blame you) but K. Flay’s tracks just come off as pure dope (not gimmicky or looks reliant in the slightest) . Here are a few really good tracks of hers that I found on the omnipresent Youtube…
Like I mentioned earlier Brian Camera and I (of BOSS MAGIC! … find us on facebook…. or soundcloud… or on the astral plane) will be mixing some of our favorite tracks in between sets as well as a special opening DJ set by SEX & WEIGHT whom is well known for his resident DJ spot at Risque and other past Sacramento dance nights (Hold On, Take Flight and others). So I decided to crush yall with a bunch of exclusive free downloads and listens in the spirit of the “not so talked about anymore recession”.
Really dope remix Miguel “Sex & Weight” Francis did under his Feckless Wonders moniker of Phantogram’s track “Mouth Full Of Diamonds”
BOSS MAGIC! – Zef Security (Die Antwoord vs. Crookers) … the download limit is reached on this one but there is a link to a download on the song page comments
