With a totally tropical taste, my man Sumsin has put socamerenguetek on a blastout – original productions plus, in the mix. Pure party sweat session! Road carnival ride vybz! You can contact an’unexpectacle here to find out about a particular tune or for some ‘pon road party vibes. Listen and download below but here’s what he has to say about this mix of ridiculous rapid riddims:
“Socamerenguetek will keep you for an hour-long, action-packed outing. I got my new vest-top, I got my camel sandals and now it’s time to clip my parts. Prepare a rumboat and ready for go because these are road tunes and you’ll likely get higher.”

So disappointed the Pirate Bay got found guilty, but in the grand scheme it just means the middlemen’s power is gonna get snapped slightly slower. They won’t be able to stop the tide.
If you’re fuzzy on Copyright laws, Uncyclopedia typically presents a refreshing overview. Please go read We Think by Charles Leadbeater. It’s a bit old but in keeping with the theme of open and remix culture check Ludachrist’s below album.

Or have Diplo and Switch simultaneously applauded and ridiculed the absurd auto-tune fad with their Major Lazer side-project?
Either way, you’re gonna need to pick up the Major Lazer album when it drops this summer. In the meantime however, you bes’ check first song, Zumbi, featuring diminutive comedian Andy Milonakis. Download: hotlink?id=p86qp9m6

RAPIDBRAPP! Our good friend Murkules has smacked it outta the park with this rinsing speed merengue mix, synthesized from some bits we found downback of interwebs a while back. Here’s wha’ he say:
“Kids aren’t ready for speed merengue. its all breakneck speed kicks drums and claps, synth horn stabs, half time bass licks and slack lyrics. Its some kind of raunchy latin salsatek than cold weather legs can’t handle – shit’s like 190 bpm. Hard digi riddims started coming out of the dominican republic in the mid 90’s and hadn”t really crossed over outside the dominican diaspora since, but mad decent’s new signing Maluca got some kind of 8-bit SM vibes going on. Tropical bass jams to blow your sunny summer, Here’s 40 minutes of hyperspeed badness for you….”

…in the music industry.
Inspired by a copyright discussion in an interview I had today, I remembered the important history lesson from the video above. The second half gives proof as to why loosened copyright laws in music will encourage creativity. Music startups like Mixcloud are at the forefront of a push for increased access to tunes. Increased access is giving listeners a plethora of influences from which to be inspired – heightening the opportunity for originality through variety and assimilation. This is why Laurence Lessig and Creative Commons points to the future. Lessig acolyte – Girl Talk and his pay-what-you-want album Feed the Animals is what pop music should have been since the 80s, were it not for stringent copyright laws:
Yes, the video avoids the UK YooToob ban – because it’s licensed through Creative Commons! Also, go check out (trailer here) the first open source documentary, which is about all of this – RiP: A Remix Manifesto.
The Amen break is still in full effect today, with the big tune of the moment making explicit reference at about 4:10:
