° TOKiMONSTA – “The Force” (A. Chal Remix) °

by

TOKiMONSTA

I will admit that I haven’t checked in with TOKiMONSTA in a while, but her new stuff is sounding way too fresh. Her most recent release The Force EP, features Kool Keith on the title track, and a variety of remixes including this stellar one from A. Chal. His rework dramatically slows down the verse and adds some deep bass, taking it a long way from the pretty straightforward hip-hop original. Stream it along with the original track below, and snag the EP here.

° Braxton/Palmer – “Creeper, Pt. 1″ °

by

Braxton/Palmer

Our friends at Ceremony recently let us know about their latest release from Braxton/Palmer, “Creeper, Pt. 1″ (yes, there is a Part 2) which is accompanied by this appropriately creepy artwork. This dark meditative dance track is laced with a touch of R&B due to a subtle TLC sample (from “Creep” – get it??). It is way too easy to have this on repeat, and soon you will realize you’ve been in a trance for hours, neglecting food water and sleep all for the beat. This is a good thing. The single is officially out today, so get on it.

Airbird & Napolian

The beauties at Cascine have wowed us again (surprise) with their latest release from Airbird & Napolian, In The Zone, featuring guest vocals from Erika Spring. There are sun-drenched half-whispered vocals, as is to be expected, but they are met halfway with some deeply funky bass lines, leaving them almost unintelligible. Just as I find myself fully immersed in the tracks hazy beauty, it abruptly ends, leaving me yearning for more. I am left pressing play over and over while daydreaming of white sand beaches and rooftop parties. Summer is around the corner my friends.

OLUGBENGA

Pictures Music can do no wrong. This time they’re bringing us OLUGBENGA – previously known for playing bass in Metronomy – who is now striking out into electronic production on his own. Hafiza [Innocence] is a dense and instantly arresting track. It gains momentum with the addition of vocals, and manages to allow for moments of calm without ever losing the groove. It’s set for release, both digital and vinyl, on May 20th, more information can be found here.

TOO FRESH: Letherette - "She Shines"

We first heard “She Shines” in the jaw-dropping Boiler Room set that Letherette produced for us in March, and I was more than surprised to find it on the b-side of their D&T single later that month. This has been my favorite track so far this year, generating soulful summery vibes that can simmer for months on end. Buy it on iTunes, Amazon, or Bleep.

After the success of their debut LP, She Was Coloured In, Solar Bears have taken their highly emotive and cinematic production style in a similar direction while expanding on the scope of their work. Their new release, Supermigration, shows us Solar Bears’ uncanny knack for transforming expertly crafted compositions through a rich spectrum of production techniques and stylistic decision making. While you can see the self-awareness and thoroughness in their [...]

Atlantics Volume 3

Rarely do I find myself raving about a compilation, there are usually too many tracks, and it’s hard to love them all. Luckily Astro Nautico has delivered one of the finest compilations I’ve heard in a while with their Atlantics Volume 3. They really put it better than we ever could: One year ago from today on April 20th, 2012, we released Atlantics Vol. 2 – a sprawling collection of [...]

WHO WE ARE

Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new.

This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it.

If you wish to contact the team, send mail to did@dippedindollars.com or for individual addresses, check here. (But please not both, duplicates are a drag)
