YOU BEEN CRUSHED PARTY!!!!

Here it is! the party we've been waiting to throw....

Crushed Records first label showcase!!!

because we are promoting.....

Crushed Records first label compilation!!!

The Party will be tomorrow, thursday night (5/28) at Glasslands in Williamsburg Brooklyn (289 Kent Ave) it costs $5.

As you can see by the flyer, it will be crammed with talent, and no doubt talent will be leaking out the sides and back...

we got Nic Xedro, Leif, and Purple Crush LIVE and Cobra Krames, WZRDZ, Flashmen, and Chaz & Jason (Palmsout) Djing.

and as a super special treat, the west coast half of WZRDZ has flown out to make a special appearance. This doth happen once a fortnight!

The compilation is called You Been Crushed v1 and will be available digitally in the coming weeks. Until then expect some freebies on the internet as we have disseminated a few links.....in celebration of the WZRDZ reunion, enjoy this new banger from WZRDZ:

WZRDZ - Junglishious

Rebel Rebel.....

we released a single ep today by a texas guy who lives in sweden with his wife and goes by the name American Folklore. we're still trying to figure this guy out (he's quite a character and may like weed as much as us), or why he hit us up with this over a year and a half ago.....

we were immediately entranced by the song, so we did a remix. i mean, its rare that quality songs get made on the underground in this dj heavy world we're living in......

but dont b fooled by the humble tune. even though it sounds like beck in the 90s, its a hipster song in disguise....."rebel rebel" is an ode to Hianta, the female member of the uber-cooler-than-thou french music blog, fluokids.....

one more thing, the song will also appear on our labels first compilation "you been crushed v.1" out next month.....

Rebel Rebel (purple crush remix) - American Folklore

"Marry Me" the video promo....

so, we licensed "marry me" to a Canadian Tv pilot show called "Tales of the Urban Indian", which is ironic, since we have an unreleased album we did in LA in 2004 called "Tales of the Urban Hippy".....

they just sent us a copy of the show, and low and behold, our song was used for the stripper scene!

so anyway, at the end is some flip cam shots of the real marry me video, which will be released soon.....

Big Dipper

what this flyer is trying to say is, if you go to this party and hear Mike Genius and Boy Boy spin, you will either become a Parisian sailor boy living it up on a shore night or a dashing lady of the night who has finally found her long lost love. Either way its in the stars.

this remix/remake of crystal waters gypsy woman will point you in the right direction.

T.B.D. is located at 224 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This is happening FRIDAY MAY 8 and will continue monthly...:)

Gypsy Woman (Mike Genius remix)

Leif @ Ruff Club

the LES on friday night was graced by the presence of royalty, Leif, the king of wobble rap (he's currently a duke in africa)....

people came out of the woodwork, cause when this kid comes home from college, it's an EVENT.

btw, i still have maaajor whiplash from all the headbanging that occured during his set, especially when he dropped WZRDZ's Nirvana rmx....

T.B.D. is a 2500 square foot lounge in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. As described on their website they have 12 beers on tap and free Wifi.

This friday there will be a sweet party there featuring a few of my favorite Brooklyn producers. Dre Skull, Krames, and Mike Genius.

The party is called the big dipper, and to get there, basically you have to follow the north star. if you have trouble finding the north star, just look for the big star coming off the handle of the big dipper up in the night sky. I know, its hard to do when you are on the G train, but some challenges aren't meant to be overcome.

T.B.D. is located at 224 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. If you can't follow the stars, here's mapquest.

enjoy these mp3s from the afore mentioned artists in the meanwhile:

Flying Saucer Tai Chi - Mike Genius

Gone Too Far feat. Sizzla (Buraka Som Sistema Remix) - Dre Skull

Sick Wit It - DJ Krames

Nic Xedro aka Nikki Dro

way back in 2003 when we were just wee funkateirs jared and i decided to start Crushed Records as a means of getting our music out to the world. it was pre myspace, pre blogs, and (gasp!) pre friendster. we pressed up our first full length album, LCD, with a bootlegger, and i would sit on the corner of N7th and bedford and sell them with my girlfriend, who made hippy skin care products.....

jump ahead 6 years, and not only are we putting out our own music, but we've surrounded ourselves with amazing artists and talent....I am so excited about Crushed Records in 2009.

One artist that came to us like a lady bug landing on your arm is Nic Xedro. the mystery that surrounds him is intoxicating, he reeks of rockstardom, and the music makes u want to hump everything in sight: man, woman, animal or object.....

as seen on Winnie Cooper and Discobelle we bring to you "Im a Freak" by Nic Xedro aka Nikki Dro....

IM A FREAK - Nic Xedro aka Nikki Dro

Jared's Birthday!!!!

my amazing husband's birthday is today, and we'll be celebrating by letting him wank on the ol axe to his heart's desire tonight at public assembly @ 11....(the flier is 2 posts down)

expect alot more guitar from us this year, its time for us to get back to our roots....

yesterday i did a search on youtube and found this video of us performing an acoustic version of physical attraction in paris at le baron, and in case it isnt clear, we were performing to and getting interviewed by a robot....apparently it aired on cable.....what was i thinking with that hair?!?!?

my heroes....
