N.A.S.A. – I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER

(FEAT. MAX HEDRUM & BARBIE HATCH)

With their critically acclaimed debut, The Spirit of Apollo, N.A.S.A. accomplished their goal of making a record that ignored boundaries and brought people together from totally different backgrounds.

The Big Bang (RELEASED TODAY!) furthers their love for collaboration as they extend their international embrace to well-respected and like-minded producers/remixers/DJs from all corners of the globe who manage to pick up The Spirit Of Apollo puzzle pieces and successfully infuse an entirely new & refreshing energy into the tracks in order to transform them into dance-floor-devouring meteors of mass destruction while simultaneously maintaining the integrity and inspiration of the originals.

Along with the remixes, The Big Bang contains two completely new original songs with the album’s namesake and bigger-than-life blast off “The Big Bang” followed a few tracks later by the feverishly flirtatious “I Wanna Be Your Lover”.

Remixers include Herve aka The Count of Monte Cristal, Mr. Oizo, The Ashton Shuffle, Villains, Steve Aoki, LA Riots, Treasure Fingers, DJ Chernobyl, and Mario C as well as a few remixes from the N.A.S.A. camp itself (Boombotz consists of Squeak E. Clean and Kool Kojak and Ape Shit Brothers consists of Ali Disco B and Zegon).

Here are a few words from the spacecraft mission director himself, Squeak E. Clean…

“Our interstellar travels have taught us much. After breaching the reaches of The Milky Way galaxy new sounds began to permeate our eardrums. We studied these new sounds from light years in the future and The Big Bang Sound was created. It’s bigger than the music. It’s a whole new way of thinking about everything: creation from nothing.

This is the beginning and it will only grow from here… a chain reaction of emotion that will echo through the universe”

As the previously unreleased title track proclaims: “Prepare yourself earthlings, ‘cause N.A.S.A.’s in effect”.

One of the original pioneers in both the M.C. and graffiti fields of hip hop, Rammellzee was a huge influence to countless young b-boys all over the world as he was a big part of two of the most important hip hop films ever: Wild Style and Style Wars.

From bombing trains with Dondi to having Jean-Michel Basquiat design the cover art to his single “Beat Bop” to rocking a quick but memorable cameo in Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise, this dude was the coolest!

Here’s one of his more famous joints which was featured in Style Wars…

RAMMELLZEE Vs. K-ROB – BEAT BOP

New new Wavves shiz for you right here and right now.  His/Their new album, King Of The Beach, is gearing me up for a long summer with it’s Animal Collective meets Nirvana stoney radness.

This song’s one for the handle bar boom box on the front of your low rider bicycle with it’s boom bap “Be My Baby” beat that crazy Phil Spector would be more than happy to clean his guns and count his money to.

WAVVES – WHEN WILL YOU COME

Couple refreshingly unique twists of their originals today from Keph Le Roc out of Montreal who is one half of the Muscle Brothers with DJ Nerve.  The two canucks do a great job of breathing a nice n’ modernized breeze into the Ice-T classic with the help of that somewhat snarling synthesized bass line grooving into ya like a hot knife in a cold stick of butter.

ICE-T – COLORS (MUSCLE BROTHERS REMIX)

Then Keph goes all Sanford & Son with the trash cans n’ horns route on this more light hearted take on Big L’s coming out party of a single that left jaws to be swept off the floor and necks to be snapped back in place by chiropractors all over the mapsicles back in 1995.

BIG L – PUT IT ON (KEPH LE ROC KAZA HAYA EDIT)
