VIDEO: Grinny Grandad – “The Good Girl”
Hump day is close to over, and what better way to push on towards the weekend than with a hilarious video? I started watching the video just to hear the song by Grinny Grandad, which is excellent, but stuck it out for the awesome breakdancing. This video features the remix by DJ Askillz and is [...]
Chromeo – “Don’t Turn The Lights On”
I just received notice of the new single from the upcoming Chromeo album, Business Casual. Ever since watching this video at Daryl Hall’s house, the influence of Hall & Oates on their music has become ever clearer. With the release of “Don’t Turn The Lights On”, it feels as if their sound is being pulled [...]
VIDEO: Rusko – “Hold On”
So one of my favorite tracks of the year so far now has an official video. It’s a simple depiction of life on tour for Rusko, which is made worth watching for the pure brilliance of the track alone. In addition, this video has convinced me of two things: 1. This man is practically a [...]
VIDEO: Sidney Samson ft. Twista – “Riverside”
Just opened my inbox to find this gem. I had no prior knowledge of this track by Sidney Samson featuring Twista, but the beat is infectious and the dance moves make me want to hitch the next ride to Baltimore. Plus the main lady in the video is noneother than Rye Rye, so you know [...]
Aeroplane – “We Can’t Fly”
Dudes and Dudettes, I want to tell you about a new and exciting upcoming single from Aeroplane (and if it were up to me, this post would consist solely of exclamation points). Here at D.I.D., we love these guys, and they can basically do no wrong. They’re masters of the art of the remix, and [...]
Sounds of Summer: French Horn Rebellion
As it seems to be going these days, French Horn Rebellion was delivered to me (fortuitously) by the internet. I had been hearing the name floating about, but not much more. It wasn’t until recently that I realized what I’d been missing out on. Infectiously danceable and light, “Beaches and Friends” is the ultimate summer [...]
Rox
I was browsing through The Couch Sessions this weekend, when I chanced upon a post about Rox, a London girl with an amazingly powerful and soulful voice. I’ve had her debut album, Memoirs, on repeat all weekend. Her songs are catchy, and somehow manage to be intensely emotional without straying too far from pop. Frankly, [...]
PUNCHES
PUNCHES came to me through the internet and I couldn’t be happier. I first heard this track a few months ago, but better late than never, isn’t that what they say? According to them, “PUNCHES was born during a cab ride one cold, Brooklyn December night, with thoughts of warm weather and the perfect summer [...]
Sounds of Summer: Sola Rosa
The fates delivered whispers of Sola Rosa to me a few months ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. The New Zealand based group incorporates elements of classical guitar, dub, and slight notes of hip hop and soul into their music. It’s a hodge podge that works perfectly together and will surely get you tapping [...]
VIDEO: Comfort Fit – “Bit By Bit”
I’ve been holding on to this one for a while, but this excellent video comes to us from Tokyo Dawn artist Comfort Fit. It’s a relatively simple concept for a video, but is executed with immaculate precision through stop motion. I never expected something so entrancing to come from the initial video still. Bonus track: [...]
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!
