Daily WTF: Late for Meeting

R.I.P. Lou Reed

Lou Reed

When it comes to music, we're usually a little more electronically-focused, but when a man like Lou Reed passes away, a man who has had such a gigantic influence on the musical landscape of the 20th century, I feel it's only appropriate that we, too, pay our respects. Rest in peace, Lou. You had a good run.

Today's Track: Shot You Down (Remix)

The newest member of TDE Isaiah Rashad teams up with two other label members (Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q) to do a remix of his 'Shot You Down' track. The beat is slightly changed compared to the original while Rashad's verse is the same. Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q are on point on their verses. The only 'bad' thing about this is that Q announced that his album will be delayed, probably till January 2014.

Street Knowledge: Wannabes

Here's a short news clip on "wannabes" or "wiggers" from 1999. It's interesting to see how hip-hop's placement in the mainstream has changed so drastically since its infancy. While hip-hop is still sometimes seen as a "black" thing, race really isn't the issue that it used to be: these days, nobody bats an eyelash at white kids who identify with the subculture.

Mullet Mix 007: Embryo

Hey Boy! Hey Girl! It’s time for another Mullet Mix! Each time we like to change it up and give you a different flavour of the vast underground music scene. We are therefore very happy to have Embryo come through with a banging House set for your grooving pleasure. Embryo is a young producer and DJ with an immense passion for the music that is House. He has channelled his love for house by starting his own label WEAREUNITY in 2012 and has already a strong record of releases with some very talented new producers in the mix. This is a real feel good mix so we hope you enjoy it and share the House Luv!


Hey Embryo, tell us something about yourself for the people that are yet to get familiar with you and your music?
Hey boy. Let me introduce myself then. My real name is David Varchola, I am 24yrs old, from Slovakia. Shoe size 44-45 and my girl still loves me.

What inspired you to start your own label and what are the biggest lessons you've learned that you wish somebody would have told you before you got started?
I think it was the will to release music from artists I liked (and still like) at that moment and I'm proud that I have 7 releases from 8 producers now. A lesson? If you want it right, you have to do it yourself.

What labels are you currently looking out for? Is there anyone you would like to collaborate with in the future? 
Labels I like, right? Needwant, Strictly Rhythm, Exploited, Deep Down, Bassline US, No More Noise, Ecstasy, Kerri Chandler's Madhouse, 124 Recordings and 15% of Defected releases. House luv!
I would like to collaborate with a woman with an erotic house voice.

Coming from Europe, you must have been exposed to a lot of eurodance music in the 90's. If you could bring back one group/track from back in the days which one would it be? 
Hard question. Every 90's R&S records artist/band.

If you weren't making music what would your perfect day consist of?
Girlfriend lying in bed with my upcoming debut LP. Isn't it romantic?

A massive thank you! goes out to Embryo for doing this mix for us. Make sure to follow him on soundcloud and facebook. And make sure to check out the releases of WEAREUNITY for some great house releases!
