° Dipped in October °

8tracks informed us that they will soon be releasing their Android application, and asked us to make a mix in anticipation of that. This was actually my first time using 8tracks (it was ridiculously easy), and I pulled together some of the things I’ve been listening to lately. Some are new, some are old, but I think they all accurately reflect the past month as well as the impending doom that is winter. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it. Tracklist below.

Tracklist:

Made in Heights – “Holla Mears”
SBTRKT – “Sanctuary”
Joe Goddard – “Gabriel” feat. Valentina
Salva – “Obsession” feat. B. Bravo
EVM128 – “The Slow Jam”
Mount Kimbie – “Carbonated”
Two Inch Punch – “LuvLuv”
Little Dragon – “Feather”
DJ Shadow – “Sad and Lonely”
Friends – “I’m His Girl”

° VIDEO: Little Dragon – “Brush the Heat” °

So this new video from Little Dragon appeared on the internet last week, and just like everything they make, I completely love it. The animated wonder (apparently done by Yukimi’s father) is such a delight and the perfect accompaniment to this track, off of their third album Ritual Union (which I can’t believe I haven’t written about already). It’s whimsical, fun and filled with Yukimi’s awesome dance moves, all in all a perfect way to start the week.

° Little Dragon, “A New” (Tropics Remix) °

I’ve been following Little Dragon since their collaborations on Plastic Beach took me over, and this Tropics remix is hitting just as hard. Yukimi Nagano is impeccable.

° Gorillaz, Plastic Beach °

I’ve been brewing on this Plastic Beach stream for a few weeks, and can safely say that I am thoroughly impressed with this album. I was speaking with someone the other day about how the music industry has almost turned into a “best song of the day” type of scene, and if it has, then Plastic Beach will be afloat for weeks. Damon Albarn is one of the few producers that can digest a genre without sounding like he’s exploiting his influences. After thoroughly digesting D-Sides, The Good, The Bad, and The Queen, and his recent production for Amadou et Mariam, it’s easy to understand how he ended up with the pieces of Plastic Beach. There are some songs on the album that I don’t like, but the good far outweighs the bad. Empire Ants may be my favorite song on the album. I love the New Edition-ish melodies of Little Dragon, and the electro breakdown towards the end is perfect. I can’t wait to hear what Albarn will do next.

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.

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.

If you wish to contact the team, send mail to did@dippedindollars.com or for individual addresses, check here. (But please not both, duplicates are a drag)
