Cosmo’s Crate (Sheen Bros Vol.2 mixed by Cosmo Baker)
So 4th Pyramid and Cosmo Baker are back at it again. This month the Sheen Bros mix is put together by Cosmo. Since the first one was released, Cosmo has come through Minneapolis with Scion. He’s a riot, and has tons of quality chunes. So I was def looking forward to this one. The mix is full of good obscure funk, hip hop, and disco. The tracklist is kept rough (only song titles were given) as samples may get used for their own material. Keep an eye out for an album/ep in the coming year (think of it as a funk/rap blend). My first time through I heard some Edan, Ultramagnetic MC’s, Final Edition (the original song Duck Sauce uses for aNYway), and Pon De Girls. Pon De Girls is a blend of the original song here comes the girls used on pon de floor with parts of pon. It’s crazy good, and had me digging (def a sign of a good mix). Big up Cosmo and 4th Pyramid, I look forward to the ep in the new year. Enough talk, herr ’tis.

Ernie K. Doe – Here Come the Girls (Bird Peterson Pon de Blend)
To close it off a couple more remixes of the new Drop The Lime song, set me free. I prefer these over the harvard bass remix when push comes to shove. NROTB (Nu Ravers On The Block) have been on a terror as of late. Their remixes of might like you better (am posting too) and this one are epic and exactly what I want (nice tribal beat, chopped up horns, and amazing bass). They even did two remixes (Dark, and Carnival). Carnival chops up and uses the vocals a bit more while the dark has a more traditional house feel. There’s no need to choose between the two. They also have a new ep, Droplet, coming out at the end of the year and its shaping up to be hot. Also, Zombie Disco Squad did a remix of set me free, that’s a little more mellow, but equally epic and tribal (even have some elephants, birds, etc).
