Ok, it’s a little last minute, but…

Join MK2 resident selectress Daneekah and future Memekast guest Pauley Unsaturated for $2 Red Stripes, pizza, and board games tonight at False Profit’s Equity! We know how stressful your week has been (we read your emails), what better way to unwind and get ready for the fast-approaching weekend than to come down and drink some beer, listen to 45’s, and play Uno?

Our two hot selectors will be pulling fresh-baked tracks out of the oven and serving them up with lots of love for your pre-Valentine enjoyment. Bring your honey, bring your homeys, and bring your board games. It’s living room culture, SF-style… which means we have good music.

Pauley Unsaturated (mushrooms and bell peppers)
Daneekah (pest0)

5:30-9PM @ Il Pirata (16th & Utah SF).

False Profit loves you.
We just like being seen in public with you because you’re hot.

Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier, last seen around here on my own memekast mix mk001, has announced his Ninjatune debut, and dropped a serious promo mix to get us ready.

The mix is called Bastard Bass, and with it Poirier continues his relentless, electro-fueled assault on the border walls between dancehall, hip-hop, soca, grime, and any others that get in his way. One needs only check out his body of work to know these boundaries don’t stand a chance. Past collaborations have included eurocrunk posterboys TTC (Big Dada Paris), abstract hip-hop guru Beans (Warp, Antipop Consortium NYC), dj/rupture (Tigerbeat6 NYC), Lotek Hi-fi (Big Dada London), and plenty more. His remix credits are deeper still, with official releases for Lady Sovereign (Def Jam, Chocolate Industries London), Maga Bo (Soot Rio De Janeiro), TTC, and SF’s own Bassnectar (Om Records, Bassnectar.net); not to mention a ton of boots for the likes of Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Spank Rock, The Clipse, and on and on.

The album itself, No Ground Under, is set to drop in North America on January 29.

Thanks to Cumulus for the heads-up.

Word recently trickled down to me from somewhere along the ant trail about a producer whose beats demanded my prime headphone time. Turns out he’s an extremely prominent figure in the South African music scene. He is a Cape Town turntablist, scratch dj champion and producer who calls himself Sibot. His music is a genius blend of hip hop and electronica. It’s a touch of glitch squeezed out the edges of dope hip hop beats, smoothed out with some master scratching and just dripping with thick, grinding bass lines. (more…)
