Leisure Colony
Leisure Colony is an indie rock outfit out of MA. I saw them open for Gary Wilson last Fall, and was really impressed with their set. They’ve got some interesting guitar lines going down in In My Yard. You can download the entire Protectorate EP for free at their bandcamp (limited time only), and check [...]
Time Traveling, Abner Jay
I’m not quite sure how I first came across the music of Abner Jay, but it was sometime in the winter of last year. There’s not that much information available about him, but his music speaks for itself. Heart-wrenching blues sung with an authenticity that is timeless. I almost forgot the most impressive note of [...]
Mr. Flash
Crimson recently sent over these gems from French producer Mr. Flash, and I’m surprised he hasn’t taken off in the states. He started making beats way back in ’99 (under the name Flash Gordon) and eventually found himself as the first artist to sign with Ed Banger in 2003. Since then, he’s dropped two albums [...]
The Avalanches’ Second Album
Some credible sources have been hinting about a sample-cleared sophomore release from The Avalanches due out this Fall, and I’m actually starting to believe that my nine years of waiting will be coming to an end. Many more people need to be excited about this, so I’m throwing out some of their harder to find jams [...]
Broken Social Scene, “World Sick”
Broken Social Scene has done an excellent job of scooping up my favorite Canadian musicians over the last few years, and the snippets I’ve been hearing from Forgiveness Rock Record have been epic. This song reminds me a lot of the stuff from You Forgot It In People, but in a more developed state. Elizabeth [...]
VIDEO: Devon Sproule, “Ain’t That The Way”
Through Devon Sproule‘s mailing list I learned of this lovely video for her song “Ain’t That The Way”. Devon has been a long time love of mine. I first came across her music during a live performance in a tiny living room in Vermont, and (as anyone who has seen her in person can attest) [...]
Zomby
Zomby is a mysterious hyperdub producer from the UK who was recently honored with two spots on Hyperdub‘s 5 Years of Hyperdub LP. He grew up listening to garage, jungle, and rave, and reflects those influences with a very intriguing sound. He has yet to show his true identity, and has done some pretty interesting interviews [...]
Caribou, “Odessa”
So another track that I’m late on is the newest single from Caribou. I included it on my Valentine’s mix, but haven’t given it its proper dues. This is one of those songs that upon first listen is good, but with each subsequent experience seems to get better and better and worms its way into [...]
Lupe Fiasco, “What You Want”
So I know I’m late on the most recently leaked Lupe Fiasco track. It’s so simple and laid back that except for that undeniable voice, I almost didn’t recognize it as Lupe. It’s allegedly unfinished, but I’m down with the raw nature of this track, and it’s probably my favorite thing I’ve heard off of [...]
Daedelus, “Order Of The Golden Dawn”
This is going to be a great Spring from Brainfeeder. Flying Lotus‘ Cosmogramma drops this May and Daedelus‘ Righteous Fists of Harmony will be out on March 23. The album is a soundtrack to the Boxer Rebellion (Fight Club, anyone?), and I couldn’t be happier. The man behind one of the best songs of all [...]
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!
