After their new single “Here To Fall” has received a warm welcome within the music sphere the song is granted probably the highest honor as the New Jersey-band released a whole remix album on the song yesterday. Arguably the most popular track from their album Popular Songs, “Here To Fall” focuses on a couple having a tense conversation about the future over the background of menacing, descending chords and distorted wa-wa guitar. Here comes a first audible teaser for this ambitious project, that will include reworks by Maseo from De La Soul and Pete Rock among others. Check out below RJD2′s atmospheric interpretation of the song.
This cross-cultural crew of New York musicians Balkan Beat Box have their new offering Blue Black Boy in preparation. The album, due April 27, was recorded in Tel Aviv and Belgrade during anti-Kosovo riots and will offer Mediterranean-influenced music that incorporates traditions from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and New York electronica. Their new single “War Again” keeps the anticipation strong for this project. Famed producer RJD2 adds some fuel as he presents his rendition of the piece. Check it out.
Philadelphian music brain RJD2 compliments his track with a new music video. Small Plans, gets the visual treatment which portrays somewhat of a modern rendition of the movie, Planet of the Apes. You’ll find what looks like a skater and businessman caged up, and a whole lot of absurdity going on. Nonetheless, a solid production on his behalf. Small Plans can be found on his new album The Colossus, which dropped this past January 19th on his new label, RJ’s Electrical Connections. He’s currently on a US tour and you can find information on his whereabouts here.
