Realpeople
The end of my year has been consumed by reading best EP/LP lists of ’09, and I’m honestly surprised that Realpeople, Beirut‘s side project, hasn’t been on any of those lists. Beirut‘s Balkan-meets-Brooklyn sound is clearly an acquired taste, but I believe he should at least have been commended for embarking in an electronic direction. [...]
Joker
I’ve recently been introduced to a plethora of serious dubstep artists, and Joker is still standing out. Hailing from Bristol, Joker’s sparse, pseudo-psychedelic beats have made him a staple in Britain’s dubstep scene. All this at only twenty years old. Purple City has to be one of my favorite songs of the year. I never [...]
This Charming Documentary
It’s no secret that here at Dipped in Dollars, we love us some Theophilus London, so I was pleased to hear about this nice little documentary on his blog. His mixtape is phenomenal, and if you haven’t heard it already, what are you waiting for?
MGMT Remixes
I’ve been busy recording my half of the D.I.D. feature for Breakthru Radio, so please enjoy these MGMT remixes while I get my shit together. MGMT – Electric Feel (Justice Remix) MGMT – Electric Feel (Aeroplane Remix) MGMT – Kids (Bukez Finezt Dubstep Bootleg)
11th Dimension
Julian Casablancas‘ solo project has been getting a lot of love on D.I.D. over the last few months, but this video for 11th Dimension is kind of a flop. Casablancas‘ loose reinterpretation of Bruce Lee’s Game of Death is pretty confusing, and it only highlights how lucky he is to be working with an astounding [...]
Blaqstarr
I didn’t hear much about Blaqstarr until Empty Cups introduced me to Shake It To The Ground late last Spring, but he’s been on blast ever since. This rapper/producer/DJ is a facet of Baltimore’s club scene and was the second artist to ever sign with the boys over at Mad Decent. I’m loving the flow [...]
A Decade of Flying Lotus
Rounding out an exceptional week of Brainfeeder artists on Dipped in Dollars is the big boss himself, Flying Lotus, who just dropped a fresh retrospective on his ten year catalog. That’s a pretty fucking brave thing to do, especially having it mixed by someone else, fellow Brainfeeder The Gaslamp Killer. There is no way in [...]
Dunkin On A Reindeer
I just saw these Nike commercials for the first time today, and I am in awe of how awesome they are. Though maybe I’m just a sucker for puppets…
Broken Bells
What, was this track delivered in a time capsule straight from the 60s? The duo Broken Bells (featuring Danger Mouse and James Mercer of The Shins [neither of whom can do any wrong in my opinion]) released this track off of their forthcoming album for free on their website earlier this week. In all honesty, [...]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Dipped in Dollars! No Christmas is complete without Santa Claus conquering some Martians. Hope you’ve been enjoying the Holidays as much as we have.
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. More about the brains behind the brawn, here.
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. Happy Listening!
