THE PRIVATE LIVES # III

2010-03-20T21:12:00.002+08:00

Learn more about which tunes Miss Yellow is bumping in her litter-clogged Mini Cooper while speeding over Hong Kong’s rollercoastery flyovers after midnight, leaving scratchmarks in the steering wheel with her fly-ass hoochie nails, furiously raging about those wads of parking tickets in her glove box and pondering about the best way to avoid HK tabloid paparazzi, yet maintain a decent level of swagger and make mad bank at the same time!

Does Drafus really ride the HK MTR with Jazzy Jeff once in a blue moon? Does he have a thing for plush tigers and “failed romance” themed tunes? Come and see, live in the flesh, the extremely handsome chap that is blessed with the looks of eternal youth, yet rocking a platinumy, georgeclooneyish goatie of wisdom, especially trimmed and well-groomed for this very event in particular!

Did this Kid Fresh really blow all his hard-earned $$$ on extensive dental bloodbaths just for thrills? When will he get his partial, permanent platinum grill? Is he bumping vintage Birdman tunes on his iPod while picking up his laundry? Would this dude really flip tables at corporate annual dinners just to strengthen the authenticity of his ‘personal brand’?

And who the fuck is this secret special guest T. Giddins? Is he a dedicated and responsible English teacher based in West Kowloon who has a thing for Barry Obama role play? Or is he just the 2.0 version of Karate Kid, teaching Kowloonese street kids how to kobe and how to lilwayne in his spare time?

What did your mom have for dinner last night? Does it never snow in the jungle? Where is Babylon? Why can't spiders talk? Do men cheat? Can you pause toast? Do fish really have fingers? Why do molecules diffuse?

Find all the answers and explore the naked truth this Saturday at YUMLA (bookface us here).

Just in case you prefer staying at home because you're still MAD hungover from last nite (it's ok, we don't really give a fuck):

2010-02-20T15:22:00.000+08:00

Learn more about what Rafik is bumping on his iPod during long, intercontinental flights, sleeplessly molding away on an inappropriate middle seat, watching vintage episodes of Sex And The City, trying hard to oppress his morning wood while choking on Lufthansa's wonky aeroplane breakfast.

Is Yao really blaring Krautrock from the 70s while snuggling Heidi™ pillows and sipping on chamomile tea, dreaming about having some pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream but deciding to thoroughly floss his permanent grill instead?

Is Enso really a faithful, trustworthy subscriber to NOW TV's Baby Channel™? And where the hell can he rent a few babies for their free photoshoot?

Does Kid Fresh secretly prefer cats over humans? Are those ridiculous tattoos of his really really real? Does he really have the "shining" sometimes, just like Danny Torrance?

What did he have for dinner last night? Does it never snow in the jungle? Why can't spiders talk? Do men cheat? Can you pause toast? Do fish really have fingers? Why do molecules diffuse?

The Private Lives Vol 1 - Live Mix

2010-01-26T22:41:00.002+08:00

This is what it sounds like when you squash two San Franciscans, one balkan-blooded German, two turntables and ridic amounts of booze together into a charming, tiny bar in the heart of Hong Kong, equipped with a dangerously booming sound system, on a packed Saturday night, and make them play whatever the fuck they want to play.

The amount of given fuck from our side about pleasing the crowd by playing hits was shockingly low, yet the level of positive feedback from the audience turned out quite grand! Much to y'all lucky bastards' delight, we recorded all that shit. Here's 30 randomly picked minutes from each one of our sets, squeezed into a 90 minute package for the sake of your earholes' blissfulness. To be continued.

DJ Pat Drastik's "The Frenzy"

2009-02-05T02:06:00.000+08:00

We here at PaE are proud to present our guest DJ for this coming Friday,
3 x Canadian DMC champion Pat Drastik from Ottawa, Canada!!

His latest and truly incredible mixtape "The Frenzy" is available for free download.
If you're a cool cat, you're gonna love this.

"Much like the name and cover art suggest, the hour long compilation is a straight up genre-hopping rollercoaster ride. All in proper flow and stride, the collection embraces Drastik’s favourite sounds of past and present - from classic intros, short vocal samples, and single guitar riff loops… to current dancefloor heaters, blends, and synth-infused bangers. With a turntablist approach to cuts, drops, and track transitions, this musical ride showcases the often forgotten fundamental methods of molding countless sounds together (without having to rely on software galore).

This is his frenzy, his musical A.D.D."

enjoy folks!

YALL WERE LOOKING GOOD JULY 25

2008-08-08T00:13:00.000+08:00

Big up yourselves for coming out to PIMPIN AINT EASY pt.II on July 25 – yall were looking fly. We enjoyed the crowd and were happy to showcase internet superstar producer CURTIS VODKA (Alaska) and DJ MISS YELLOW (HK) for yall. Curtis hadn’t been to Asia before, so we tried our best to show him a good time for his six days in town. We were late to pick him up at the airport, so we gotta thank him for not freaking out and hating us for it…

Saw a lot of girlies wearing yellow that night… with white sunglasses… did I miss the memo??

Our favorite San Francisco based Indie label SOLOS just released

it's 2nd Compilation called SOLOS IN STEREO vol. II!

The entire SOLOS roster is bringin' some serious HEAT, so don't sleep on this bay area jewel!

SOLOS IN STEREO vol. II can be purchased HERE or digitally via ITUNES.

Here's Roche's remix of CB Radio's "Muevete"

off the SOLOS IN STEREO II compilation:

Free Download:

CB Radio - Muevete (Roche remix)

Bonus:

This is a 12 minute promo mini-mix, featuring bits of

some of my favorite tunes off the compilation.

My humble self recorded this within 2 hours, at 1000% humidity,

with sweaty palms, under the influence of coconut soymilk

and with the nasty smell of dried marine products in my nose

at Enso's HK crib. Enjoy!

Diplo X Santogold

2008-07-22T02:18:00.000+08:00

Go and cop this shit, cause it's FIYA.

Mad Decent mastermind Diplo on the decks, Santi on the mic, and lots lots lots of exclusives.

I have this on HEAVY ipod rotation these days.

Get your copy at TURNTABLELAB.

MP3:Santogold - Starstruck (Diplo Remix)

Review by C'mish:
Just as Diplo killed it on MIA's Piracy Funds Terrorism mix that dropped before her debut, he does it again with Brooklyn's own Santogold, mixing up jams off her recent debut album. Expect to hear exclusive blends and mixes of her singles, masterfully executed by Diplo himself. The styles flow smoothly from everything under the sun: dirty south, club, classic cuts, dance tracks, dancehall, dubstep, reggae and more. What's also cool is that although she's signed to a big label like Downtown, this is a Mad Decent pressing. So props to Diplo for making this happen. Expect to hear shit from Santi (duh), XXXchange, Ratatat, Richie Spice, Three 6 Mafia, B-52's, Kid Cudi, Switch, Radioclit, Benga, Tony Matterhorn, Skream, Warrior Queen, Barrington Levy, and more. The mix is 75 minutes, perfect for the summertime jams.
