Flashmen: Easy To Love

Just got an email from My Pleasure Miss Blog about a sweet little givaway contest involving the You Been Crushed Comp and Flashmen......

Instead of typing myself into a frenzy i'll just let the post speak for itself: go there now.

Loud Pipes.

I really don't know much about Loud Pipes other than he is from the UK, he may be a teenager, and he makes interesting tracks. I do have this story to tell: he hit up Chaz from Palmsout and with really nice track. Chaz said, try putting this purple crush accapella on top. He did that and gave us a very nice remix of our (dare i say) classic Vacation."

2 years later he hit us up with a clean as hell dubstepper that we put on our first comp You Been Crush vol 1. (coming to digital outlets near you)...

Loud Pipes - Crazy Old Maurice

Purple Crush - Vacation (Loud Pipes Remix)

Drop it low

this is the new hot shit.

contessa and crew are killing it in the basement of the Annex here in NYC. i can't wait to see what this looks like tonight cause the cast of characters involved is better than a chorus line on acid.

Electro house in the house

well, this should be fun. after going to all the myspaces for links i do believe i have a new love for synths that sound like guitars.

and they sent 2 mixes to keep us busy until then:

Norrit & Queen Bea

Everyone knows the internet can be a troublesome, trollsome place. thats why its important to stick together like glue gun glue on a rhinestone. But thats not why i keep supporting Palmsout sounds and Norrit. Its because they pay me.

Just kidding. its cause i love and respect em. Personally i think Norrit is a true production original. i was very hyped on The Rhythm EP, Norrit's instrumental debut. Now he comes back with his long distance collab Queen Bea, who sounds soulful and sexy against his colorful yet nasty production.......and the remixes are kinda sick, yo.

We got to contribute a remix to this ep as well, and i'm going to give a little background on it: this was done on an old laptop while on tour. specifically it was done in Congorock and Alberto's living room in Milan.....damn those were the days.

For some reason the vocal samples were put in the trash and lost forever which meant it was done at that very moment, even if it wasn't quite ready......to quote trailer park boys, that's how she goes. anyway it rocked plenty of euro crowds on that tour during our set, so i can say it's road tested, euro approved. peace.

Watch Out For This Girl (Purple Crush remix)

Show at Monkeytown

Monkeytown may be one of the strangest names for a club, but somehow i feel i belong there. I was telling a friend from the band Excepter that we were playing there and he told me he played there for something like 7 hours straight on election day whilst drinking mushroom tea. Wow.

Wednesday, June 3rd, Purple Crush shall rock monkeytown with Anamanaguchi who make hacked 8-bit punk music (who we played with in 2007 at death by audio), and self described "steam punk outfit" Infernal Devices.

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...:)
