Vampire Weekend Meets Toy Selectah
Vampire Weekend has recently been getting a lot of love on Dipped in Dollars, and this remix of Cousins by Mexican producer Toy Selectah is keeping them on blast. It kind of reminds me of the Frikstailers remix of Hold the Line, but that may be due to my limited knowledge of latin music. The [...]

Well luckily with Contra, the latest release from prep school darlings Vampire Weekend, [...]
Vampire Weekend, “Cousins”

Upon first hearing Osaka Loop Line, the [...]
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!
