My server mp3 server booted me for TOS violation, that's what's causing the recent problem with 'forbidden' errors. It's all you thirsty downloaders!
I'm on the hunt for a new dedicated server with a dedicated connection. Y'all know any servers or CDNs on the cheap? I think we've outgrown all these virtual-dedicated servers. Only snag is that all the ads on this site have almost disppeared, i'm already coming out of pocket half the time to keep it runnin'. Dedicated ain't cheap… or is it, holler if you know of one. I'm grindin' to get this show back on the road.

Skeet Skeet under the pseudonym Bwomp lateraled this little demo and I'm gonna rush it. Not much to say, except it's possibly unmastered & you'll likely recognize the samples from Chicago house heavyweight Green Velvet's 2001 club-drug anthem 'La La Land' (my favorite).
Another track in heavy-rotation this last month, is this tune Skeet, along with blowin'-up Brooklynite AC Slater produced with a little help from the rappin' pipes of U.K. emcee Goldielocks. It's a remix of 'Toof favorite & London disco-pop-diva Little Boots's 'Meddle'.
Those rollin' to WMC in Miami next week need to check out DJ Skeet Skeet's 'A Party Worth Blogging About' daytime party, presented by his hipster blog, Eatskeet.com and the hipster-est of hipster blogs (& consequently, our blog heroes) Hipsterrunoff.com. The line-up is deep. If you're in Miami next week you need this. It's free to RSVP.
There's a few things in the ol' missingtoof (at) missingtoof.com inbox which I get excited for: Emails full of money, n00d JPGs from blog groupies, and most of all, DJ Yoda mixtapes. His mixes from across the pond (U.K.) are like no other. He's known for the 'Cut & Paste' style from the mixtapes that bear the same name. He works outside the box of what Turntablists usually do. Case in point, this brilliant podcast is the newest in the fine array of mixes created for Datatransmission.co.uk, which also features a brief interview about the mix. This is 'Cut & Paste: Country & Western Edition', also referred to as 'Data Transmission Podcast 041'. There's no tracklisting, but know that highlights include a some Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers & Willie Nelson over breakbeats, son! Even a country cover of Snoop Dogg's 'Gin & Juice', Simpsons' Cleatus the Slack Jawed Yokel samples, and even DJ Yoda dueling a Banjo à la '73 film, Deliverance! Shit is country-fried bananas! Naw'i'mean?! No Crucial Conflict remixes, but I love you Yoda, I'll let it slide. A Brit bridging hip-hop turntablism and Country & Western—Hallelujah.
If that is up your alley, try this recent mix put together by DJ Yoda with Spine Magazine editor Tobes, under the Pseudonym, Sparkle Motion (of course, with an appropriate sample from 2001 film, Donnie Darko, to commence). This mix of '80s era R&B breaks will get you slow jammin'. One mix (above) is enough for one post, I'm gonna have to send you to ShareBee to snag the mix that's blazin' up (by coolin' out) the forums & blogs: Download Sparkle Motion's 'Flight School Vol. 1' on ShareBee.
Some of you lucky Brits got to see DJ Yoda play at Fabric last Friday. And if not, you can get the gist by picking up last year's FABRICLIVE.39 Mix CD that has Yoda doing what he does best, throwing in the kitchen sink in the mix so marvelously. So heat, grab it and other abums in his signature 'Cut & Paste' series on Amazon. Furthermore, cop his newest 'Unthugged II : Electric Boogaloo' mix project with frequent collaborator, Dan Greenpeace from the official colabo MySpace.
Self-described "whacky french fu**ers", Stereo Heroes, make a some big tunes that are wacky, but far from wack. We've threw our support behind the team from the onset and they've gone on to grace the blogosphere with many a banger. The Stereo Heroes got back to us with this remix befitting of a debut on this Cali-based blog, a remix of California punk staples The Offspring. It's a remix of the band's punchy 1994 hit 'Come Out And Play (Keep 'em Separated)'. If you know or u don't, get acquainted with the original track on YouTube. This is electro-punk as it gets & it's ass-kickin', broham!
More recent goods from the Stereo Heroes are these: An brand new original, 'Clark Kent', and last year's original 'Washout' as remixed by fellow Frenchman Mustard Pimp:
An artist who remixed Stereo Heroes 'Washout' last year and now they can return the favor. I'm speaking of Mendle's 'Beatburger' EP, just released on PRB Label (the French one, opposed to the Canadian one) on March 9th (along side remixes from Trouble & Bass'r Mikix the Cat, among others), featuring Tunde Olaniran.
Stereo Heroes first EP is going to be released on April 6th through Leonard De Leonard's label, Leonizer Records. The EP includes remixes by Brazil's heaviest of hitters, Mixhell & Japanese 'lectro raver Rayflash. Major!
It's always nice when things we like collide! This is like some MFin' rainbow sprinkles & butterscotch on my strawberry frogurt right here!
What it is, is, N.Y. posse, Leif (once PalmsOut representer) doing a workover of Glass Candy's homage to 5th Ward gangsters, Geto Boys, on the track, 'Geto Boys'. It's got that Geto Boys 'Mind Playin' Tricks on Me' sample that's forever fresh.
And since we haven't had a wholly Leif-centric post since his 'Flossy Bounce' EP years ago, let's keep good ch00nz coming with these: The track 'Black Magic' & remixes from last year's 'Black Magic Promo EP'. Nice work in the original & in the remixes from Swedish houser The Touch with the haunting vocals of Swedish singer Lina and the other from fellow New Yorkers, Stay High that takes a fidget/dubstepped approach.
Keeping the good stuff coming, I must say I'm quite partial to this cover of Stockholm's finest siren, Lykke Li. Leif's voice is so far apart from Lykke Li's—& the vibe is so different—yet it works just the same. An interesting take:
Purchase last year's 'Black Magic EP', the sixth release on blog-gone-label, Palms Out Records, through Beatport.com. And sit tight for Leif's soon-to-be-released next solo EP, as well as and EP with his band Kids in the Garden, the reincarnation of the late, Aries Noise.
People see a mustachioed dude and a spritely girl screaming harsh lyrics over electro static beats and immediately think Crystal Castles. Enter, Kap Bambino. France's answer to Crystal Castles, some say. Although the bands might be shooting into the same musical vein there are many things that differentiate the two. The most interesting fact is that Kap Bambino has been in the game since 2001 and members Orion & Caroline also have their own side projects apart from Kap Bambino called GroupGris & Khima France, respectively.
However if you are a devote member of the church CC undoubtedly Kap Bambino will be right up your religious alley.
Kap Bambimo is currently all up in the states' guts. They held it down in Hollywood last night for St. Patty's @ The Viper Room. They are currently tearing it up in Austin Texas for SXSW. Their "Red Sign & Acid Eyes" 7 inch is out now, you can pick that up on Pure Groove. If you prefer your doses digital, iTunes is the pusher you're looking for.
Isreal's Kutiman link has been floating around the last week (over a million hits in the last week, actually). And damn, it's probably what I've listened to the most since. The premise is that Kutiman samples and arranges clips from YouTube musicians to create new compositions. Kutiman took the scattered talents from dozens, if not hundreds, of individual musicians and funneled them into one cohesive brilliant opus. The project is presented as an entire album distributed on YouTube.
The verse by Portuguese reggae artist Mighty Lion is fayah (accapella here)! Above you'll find #2 cut, a dub tune titled 'This is What It Became'. The concept is not only clever, it's extremely well executed & sounds great. Listen to and view the album in it's entirety on Kuitman's site, Thur-You.com.
Before this ambitious, thinking-outside-of-the-box project, he was signed to Melting Pot Music which released his debut single 'No Groove Where I Come From' in 2006, and his self-titled debut LP in 2007. Here's some the aforementioned single and a choice cut from the album featuring Karoline of Melting Pot's Karoline & Funset (and Israel's top-selling Habanot Nechama) and another featuring Israel's Elran Dekel.
Four man, Philly meets N.Y.C. crew, Tigersapien, have a sexy sleazy tune in 'God Knows'. The sacrilege is awesome, and so is the supreme remix production of Parisian producer Kolt13. Tigersapien's vocals are admittedly on the emo-pop tip with a hint of whine (in the best of ways, like, say, The Faint), but I love the cockiness of it all, and I'll tell you what, my lady friends do too! Their crossover appeal is high and the "band to watch" label is already being thrown around the blogosphere quite a bit. Enjoy this dirty love song about the truths of "hookin' up". This one is for you boo.
The Tigersapiens made some waves in January with the tune 'Youth & Vitality', particularly as remixed by N.Y. boys, Designer Drugs. The original and the remix are both rather tasty and have that same sexy swaggar.
The originals above are just a pinch of hottness taken from their EP released in January. The EP is for sale on iTunes and well worth yr duckets. And, I do believe these boys have a winning gimmick, wearing fuzzy tiger heads for press shots. I hope they sound as good live and keep the tiger head and champagne pourin' on tits image rollin' along.
Before we go, let's bring the focus back to producer Kolt13, who's intricate production values are producing some extraordinary things for not only Tigersapien, but others, including this rework of up and coming hip-hop super-producers, Ohio's The Kickdrums.
Mark your calendars for what will be a joyous day, when the forces of Frenchmen (and Frenchwoman) The Hacker and Miss Kittin come together once more! Collectively known as Miss Kittin & The Hacker, the pair have released EPs periodically since 1996, however it was their 2001 full length, the descriptively titled, 'First Album' that sank and arrow into the hearts of so many techno fans! That sexy techno record (which some even called 'electroclash', but, hey, what's in a name anyway?), released on DJ Hell's reputable International DJ Gigolos, held us over for years nearly a decade, with a support from new EP releases over the years, but now, yes now, we will finally have a second full length to adore! Following the trend, the new record is titled 'Two' and we can expect it to be on sale April 20th! This record will be released on Kittin's own fledgling imprint Nobody's Bizzness (which also released her solo 'Batbox' last year, blog 'd here). Yay! Here's a sample of what's in store!
Youv'e just heard 'PPPO' the first single from the record. Other notable excursions on the record are a cover of Elvis Presley's 'Suspicous Minds'. Yes, you heard right, bloody Elvis freakin' Presley meets techno diva. Holy smokes. Now while that's novel and good, this track other track gets stuck in my head a little more. Let's party, my skull or yours:
Now, here's a nice mix Miss Kittin recorded for French blog/label Phrench Phries last week. So far, I've listened to it about twice a day for a week. I'm a little obsessed. Please enjoy!

Rude 66 – Paradox Lake
