The Game - Brake Lights (mixtape)

DJ Skee is back on his grind releasing a brand-new mixtape with The Game called Brake Lights. Skee was interviewed by MTV's Mixtape Daily to weigh in on what kind of impact this album will make.
"Reason we named it Brake Lights is because it's something you don't see if you're following us often — we don't stop," Skee said from his SkeeTV headquarters. "We just had to talk about it. Plus we just did The R.E.D. Album with Game. The biggest difference between this and The Red Room [mixtape] is, I think, the quality of records. This time around, it's a lot higher. We got some crazy features, more original stuff. It's not really any freestyles over other people's beats. It's all original music. So it's really like a real album. We're going back to those classic Game/ DJ Skee street-album days. It's gonna be pretty crazy."
So check it out. I know I will.

Bass Thumpin' Thursdays

Hey there digital readers. Today's edition of Bass Thumpin' Thursday's is brought to you by The Club. The Club: proving a sweaty environment where you can do some drugs, dance with strangers, and have a steamy make out session with a random female near a bathroom. The Club: where you pay double the price for half the liquor.
With that, I'd like to bring you the first music video and I've got to say this is one of the few club tracks I've heard where the video doesn't take place in a club. In the video, the Chicago-bred Walter Meego exhibit a power that any straight man would kill to have - The ability to lift women's skirts simply by walking past them. Check it out.
Walter Meego - Girls

The next video is by German Pakistani electronic music composer and producer DJ Shah aka Sunlounger. Though the video is pretty ambiguous as to what time of year it is, it feels like a fun Summer song about a lost love. The song is pretty remarkable for being one of the rare trance/ electronica songs that utilizes male vocals as opposed to female.

Thirdly, is by an artist that has been featured before on BTT, Inna. Love is actually the second track and the second single from her break-out studio album Hot and this Romanian beauty shows no signs of slowing down. She recently released released the fifth video single off the same album, 10 Minutes but I found Love to be a more exciting track and engaging visual display.
Inna - Love

Although David Guetta's One Love was released almost a year ago, his tracks are still burning up the airwaves and Cat 5 cables. What more can i say about this cross-over artist that hasn't been said before? David Guetta has transitioned from the Euro-club dance scene, across the pond State-side, and has commanded crowds of people to dance with his infectious rhythms. Though not as popular as the song made for bar mitzvahs, Memories has the potential to last for a long time.
David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi - Memories

Last but not least is Space Cowboy with Falling Down. You may recognize Space Cowboy, aka Nick Dresti, as the guy in all the Lady Gaga music videos, but a little known fact is that he helped produce a few songs on Lady Gaga's critically acclaimed The Fame (and The Fame Monster) and co-wrote MSTRKFRT's Heartbreaker featuring John Legend.

Lloyd Banks - 80's Baby (mixtape)

Since my birthday is today and I am an 80's baby, I thought I'd bring you a mixtape from the Punchline King, Lloyd Banks entitled 80's Baby. Lloyd has always been hot on the mixtape circuit and this one is no exception. Though Banks gained notoriety as a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit, He broke out on his own with 2004's number one album The Hunger for More and, even though he kept the rhythm going on mixtapes, his second studio album Rotten Apple failed to make an impression and ultimately lead to his dismissal from Interscope Records. Now, most artists would be devastated at receiving a pink slip, but Banks jumped back on the train he rode in on with a barrage of new material in mixtape format. Lloyd even went so far as to release his new song, Beamer, Benz, or Bentley with no major label promotion, a move that helped him reach #49 on the Billboard Hot 100. Interscope is now regretting their decision to drop Banks and is in talks to re-sign him based on the success of the single. Anyway, peep the 80's Baby mixtape and remember to look out for The Hunger for More 2.

Jay-Z - Creative Control (mixtape)

Before the mighty Neil Armstrong, DJ Green Lantern infamously toured with Jigga Man as his #1 on the 1's and 2's. In fact, around the time of his 2006 album Kingdom Come Green & Jay had intended to drop 'Presidential Invasion', a promotional mixtape created while the two were touring Africa and promoting Jay's "The Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life" conquest to aid African countries in the pursuit of clean water. That mixtape never materialized, and the hip-hop world was left waiting for that elusive Hova v. Evil Genius collaboration. Four years later, with the summer of 2010 as the backdrop, and Jay-Z's Roc Nation label and DJ Green Lantern's Team Invasion as the suppliers, S. Carter takes it to the next level with a new kind of Creative Control. Green and Jay do the damn thing and drop this official new mixtape masterpiece, complete with trademark GL production, remixes, live appearances and never-before-heard music.

Dot Matrix Revolution vs. Bow Before the Cloud

Following an early morning status check of their vintage electronic equipment, two computer engineers "throw down" in an awkward dance-off that inaccurately echoes the development of information technology and the internet from 1951 up to the present day. The film features a catchy jingle by pop impresario Jim Guthrie.

Production notes: This film was produced by Superbrothers in 2006 before the establishment of Superbrothers Inc., but it was not until after incorporation that the film was eventually released. Critical reception of the film was positive, although most felt that the aim of the film was less lofty than its acclaimed predecessor The Children of the Clone (posted underneath), and that its creators had gone soft, already drifting from their revolutionary roots. Regardless the video is pretty cool and should be checked out by anyone who is a fan of 8-bit art.



Also, Check out the first pixel film by the Superbrothers - Children of the Clone, An award-winning portrait of corporate culture run amok in which a single executive recruits an army of clones to attack, behead and 'incorporate' an old money industrialist into their consumptive system. The film features an aggressive, stellar musical composition by Jim Guthrie.
