It’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day, the holiday that divides us all. A year ago today I made a mix for my friends to celebrate the joys of friend love (and beautiful music of course), and I’m at it again, only now I have a lot more people to share this with. So make the most of today, and never fear, regardless of whether or not you’re in a relationship, always remember, Danger Loves You. Download the mix here.

I just received an email about a new mix Bullion made for the people over at FACT Magazine. Lots of Krautrock, afro-funk, avant-garde electronics and dreamy 70s rock going down that really highlights how exceptional he is as a DJ. It’s only going to be available for three weeks, so head on over to FACT and check it out.

I have been a big into everything Bullion’s released since Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee and Say Goodbye To What, his latest release, has been blasting off. I like to think of it as a hook-laden psychedelic journey accompanied by perfectly deep beats. 2k10 is going to be a great year for Bullion. Check the single over at his bandcamp if you want to download the full album/just be nice and support.
I’ve been getting deep into every single thing I’ve heard from Paul White this year. He dropped the exceptional Strange Dreams of Paul White last June, but I haven’t been seeing much written about him since. Anyone who’s into Bullion will love this. Ambient samples thrown over hyperdub beats with the perfect amount of effects. Most of his music is free or only $5, so you’ve got to throw him some $$$.
I’m in the middle of an intense road trip, so my posts will be few and far. It’s recently occurred to me that some of my favorite producers get their first real exposure through remixes and serious mash up albums. Danger Mouse mashed up The Beatles‘White Albumwith Jay Z’s Black Album before going on to produce albums for The Black Keys and Gorillaz. Bullion hit in 2008 with Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee. His recent release, Young Heartache, was swallowed up by Mary Anne Hobbs and sent him touring around the world. You must check out Danger’s post of his Amadou et Mariam remix Bullion – I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times
This adventure began, in the troupe of the institute for young blind people. Where Amadou met Mariam, his true love. If he can’t see her, he can say nothing, know nothing, and so he asks her not to abandon him. (from one of their CD jackets)
I’ve been in love with Amadou et Mariam ever since I first heard them, and every new track is like a magical gem. I recently came across this remix of Ce N’est Pas Bon, and I absolutely love it, and I’m sure you will too.
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!
