ALBUM: Max Sedgley – “Suddenly Everything”
Londonite Max Sedgley first arrived on our radar with this video for his track “Sound Boy” featuring Tor Cesay. As time went by, I found myself slowly but surely falling more and more in love with the song, it’s high energy and infectious lyrics make for a dance track that’s pretty hard to resist. We [...]
ALBUM: Bibi Tanga & The Selenites – “Dunya”
Bibi Tanga & The Selenites were one of those wonderful unexpected discoveries that seem to be happening more and more for me these days through email. This group of gentlemen are making music out of Paris, and bringing African inspired tunes to the masses. Their new album Dunya was released in the US through Nat [...]
VIDEO: Def Sound – “Up Is the New Down”
It seems like awesome videos always come in waves, and this one really hits the spot. This one comes from Def Sound, an artist working out of LA. The video takes the form of a 70s action flick, beautifully shot, with a wacky cast and a wonderfully superfluous plot. You can’t help but come out [...]
VIDEO: Cee Lo – “F**k You”
So the talk of the town these days is the latest single from Cee Lo Green (better known as 1/2 of Gnarls Barkley), “F**k You”. It’s delightfully poppy but with just enough sugar to balance out the bitterness. I just saw the video for the first time today, and I am even more in love. [...]
MIXTAPE: AFRICA AFRICA AFRICA PT.2
Africa Africa Africa pt. 1 took us into the continent, pt. 2 takes us into the future. DC’s very own, DJ Underdog, has shut it down again. Brought to you by Lunchbox Theory, this mix-tape gives you a little taste of what goes down at the sensational Afro-Beat for Ya Soul party. Africa Africa Africa [...]
Housse de Racket
I have been sitting on far too many gems lately, and the time has come to unload them. I am recently very enamored of Housse de Racket. It should be evident by now that I am easily swayed by anything having to do with France and pop, so obviously this is right up my alley. [...]
VIDEO: Tabi Bonney & Koyaki – “Higher Stars”
This pretty sweet video arrived via email not too long ago, and I’m excited to tell you guys about it. The concept is an interesting one, DC based artists Tabi Bonney and Koyaki created, recorded and performed a song in one day. More of a documentary than a music video, it truly shows how much [...]
LexiconDon
I just caught wind of “Student Body” the second single released by LexiconDon off of their debut album, the first of which, “December Sunset”, I had been sleeping on for quite some time. These tracks are light and happy electropop, and there are no complaints here. The album is coming out next Tuesday, August 24th, [...]
Twins of a Gazelle
The strangest of birds delivered news of Twins of a Gazelle, a Washington, DC (!!!) band to me a few weeks back. The email was cryptic and fantastical, curiosity got the best of me, and I’m grateful it did. A slightly dark pop song, it is sure to lure you in upon first listen. Unfortunately [...]
VIDEO: Dennis Ferrer – “Hey Hey”
I initially began watching this video, the accompaniment to Dennis Ferrer‘s single “Hey Hey”, simply to hear the track, but then the video pulled me in. The pulsing beat joined with the intense imagery left me transfixed, needing to know the conclusion. The song alone is definitely worth a listen, and is currently on loop [...]
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!
