NY SHOW THE 16th

Banana Seat Bonus!

Banana Seat's "Drop It In" EP has been jamming in iTunes for the past few weeks but we recently adjusted the release for some upcoming things we have in the works that we can't so much talk about right now. So you'll get one less song but but to make up for this lack of tunage we're sharing a free bootleg we did of Buddy Bye called Make Room for the Big Man. Hope this keeps you raving and stay tuned for more!

ANYWAY come see us on tour to get one of these things..... or for now just listen to /download the audio and get one when they go up for sale on the Lab site (or at another fine bootleg disc provider near you.)

PHILLY TONITE :

Banana Seat Mixtape Release!

If you've been reading between the lines on this here blog you may have heard rumblings of a side project from me and Durkin called Banana seat. Durkin and I are sort of kindred spirits in that we're both named Ryan, we both grew up in the east coast suburbs, and we both listened to a lot of 90's big beat, house, and rave. You'll hear some of that influence in the songs on our soon to be released EP. This mixtape contains those tunes and some other Banana Seat edits and blends, plus tracks we love both new and old. Grab it from our Soundcloud and stay tuned for the EP drop!

MIX MIX win win

We did this mix and interview for Self Titled Magazine a few weeks back... It runs the gamut from brand new to old musics, and has some "esclusives".. It was recorded live using this set-up:

TV On The Radio - Will Do (XXX¢hange Dancehall Remix)

Alex remixed TVOTR and it's officially available on RCRD LBL. Graphic above courtesy of PRNC KLSN who put it best when he tumbled:

I have had the fortune to play this for well over a month now before it’s release, and it has definitely turned so many heads whilst doing so.

Interleave Video!

We enlisted Colin Devin Moore to direct an official video for Interleave and he did an amazing job. He took what was maybe 5 minutes of footage he was able to get with Alexis before our release party and turned it into this head trip of a multimedia masterpiece. You'll see tiny snippets from our live show worked in here but the brunt of it comes from Colin and his post production team. Here are the complete credits:

Amazing work guys couldn't have turned out better. Thanks everyone who kept the moving parts in motion. Watch the video above!!!

Zombie Nation - Chickflick Video

Here's an edit I cut together for Zombie Nation's "Chick Flick." He sent me some footage from the 70's BBC series "UFO," and I had my Win Win style way with it (thanks Klassen/Devlin/Alex for the input). The full single with remixes comes out on March 21st and by the looks of his website something big and album like is planned for September 3rd. Been really feeling Zombie Nation productions lately and this one's no different. Florian was really cool to work with too. He even does some live stream collabos with fans via his youtube page and Ustream. Pretty cool stuff. Can't wait to hear more!

New Fully Fitted music for free download!

This is coming from a new guy to join the ranks of Fully Fitted and we didn't stray too far from home on this one. Apparently XXXchanges family just spills out musical goodness and his little cousin is no exception. Power Paws sent us this Moombahton remix recently and we were kind of floored when we listened in studio.

Welcome Power Paws.

Emergency Party this Saturday at Santos

This Saturday our buds from Gang Gang Dance and Spencer Sweeney are throwing a party/live show/art installation in the downstairs bar at Santos. I'll be lending some visual assistance chopping up the usual deluge of source materials more free form than the Win Win sets. It's the return of the Emergency Party (see promo video below) but is also being called "Somebody Arted In Here" by the flyers on the wall. Come smell it Saturday night!

Little Jinder - Youth Blood (prince klassen edit)

Here is a new old edit I am finally putting out for everyone. Trouble & Bass released this song in 2009 I believe and I have had this edit sitting in my computer for too long of a time. The idea was to have Circleface re sing it, but it never happened. I combined pieces of the original + the Thomas Anderson remix and this is the final dubby product.

It is a limited download on Soundcloud, so get it fast!

Nicky (Real-Jobs) Crabtops & His Carnitas Recipe

Its cold here in the east, so when you can leave the oven on for a few hours to make delicious food, its generally a good idea to do so. Reformed (notorious) Baltimore party boi, Nicholas Crabtops, sent this Carnitas recipe to get you started.

CARNITAS:

Braising is my favorite way to cook meat.
Start with a shoulder



Break it down to good sized chunks and remove more or less fat and connective tissue

Save the scraps and make chicharrones (do that)


Season the meat with S&P, oregano, and cumin


Brown it in batches


If I don't have any home made stock I use a mix of chicken, beef, and veg, plus a jar of salsa verde, also add and onion, garlic, bay leaves, and some chilis


Cook low and slow with a tight lid at 215 for 3-4 hours


Don't look so percky anymore

Remove the meat and bust it up with forks use some braising liquid for lube, spread it on a baking sheet and roast for 15min at 350 to crisp it up. No pics i was too excited

Saute some brussel sprouts and steame with a little bit of that lube... serve with rice.


Add cilantro, onion, avacado, and pickled jalapenos, with some warm tortillas


Buenas Noches

Questions for Crabtops? ...he is HERE

Wha Happened Last Night

Every time I play this song someone says, "yo, what the fuck is this?" ...Well it's an awesome club re-edit of Clipse's "What Happened To that Boy" by Amphibious.

WHAT HAPPENED? - AMPHIBIOUS

Check him HERE and HERE

Black Eyed Peas Remix

I was kinda stoked they asked me to remix a song that I had actually heard on the radio, but it didn't get used for whatever reason.

You can download off my soundcloud if you like this kinda thing ;)

Win Win - Release RPM

As some of you already know, Fully Fitted got a new project going on called WIN WIN. XXXchange, Devlin, and Ghostdad run the WIN WIN show and the full length album is due to drop Feb 15th on Vice Records.

Lots of blogging been taking place for the leaks of the first single off the record, Release RPM, featuring Lizzie from Gang Gang Dance on vocals.

Now the official version of the single is out in all it's wonderful glory with an unreleased B-side sitting nicely next to that Moombahton remix from Nadastrom.

Go BUY the single from itunes now. Let's go!!!!

Strange Brew...

This new Knife mix is great for running/PUMPING IRON. It really sounds like a set you would have heard from Knife at Shake em Down in the old Milky Way Lounge (RIP).

When he's not DJing, Knife is busy at Goodlife keeping the working DJs of Boston employed, as well as booking out-of-towners like Scottie B, Eleven, Stretch, Assault, and Prince Paul... Good work bud. What he's not doing is posting on his ol' blog (c'mon). Thankfully Sleazy Trees is keeping the laugh quotient high OVER THERE. That's what i say, heres what Knife says...

"Hey y'all! Here's a live mix of some old and new tracks I'm feeling
right now. Special shout out to Will C from Traffic for mastering this
bad larry. Please visit www.djknife.com when you get a chance. Thanks
for taking a listen and enjoy responsibly kids!"

Head to Souncloud to DL:

RELEASERPM Nadastrom Moombaton Remix

Nadastrom (aka originators of Moombahton) remixed our song RELEASERPM for the release of the upcoming single and we couldn't be more psyched! According to Nada himself this will be the first "Moombahton" track pressed to wax. Pretty neat! Grab both tracks over at Pitchfork or at Vice Records where you can also follow all the audio and video promos that have been dropping as of late. The 12" single comes out on the 18th!

Wiz Khalifa - Black & Yellow (prince klassen 85 riddim blend)

Happy New Year from yours truly.
