Anyone who’s been listening to Bullion‘s New Jerusalem show on NTS knows where “Say Arr Ee” is coming from, and R&S will be throwing it on the black side of a 12″ single later this month. He replaced his usual sample chops with his own vocals and instruments on this one, which shows how deep and eclectic his sonic range can be. You can also check out another radio show he did for Red Light Radio on New Year’s Eve below.
Sounds of 2011 features many of the top songs and artists we’ve written about this year. We can never fit in all the ones we would have liked to, but Crimson and I took on the daunting task of summarizing a year of exceptional music and discovery. Keep yapping at us on Facebook and Twitter if you like what you hear.

Bullion employs the same brilliant, non-linear sonic elements he used in You Drive Me To Plastic in his recent rework of Lee Scratch Perry‘s ‘Straight Jacketed’, which was just uploaded to his soundcloud a few days ago. There are so many different styles, samples, and rhythms going on this piece that reinforce the march he’s making in his own obscure direction.

Read →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.
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.
