Rubblebucket Live in Chicago [Live Video + Tour Dates]

Rubblebucket: Official | Live in Chicago DVD/CD: Pre-Order

I'm used to hearing blaring horns over fast paced upbeat Ska music. The folks in Rubblebucket seem to incorporate them so well in their style of music. I'm not entirely sure what exactly is their style but I do know it is fun and it is catchy. Their colorful sound makes me imagine nothing short of a great time at one of their shows and the video goes to show that Rubblebucket live is exactly that, a fun great time! I've got to get to the bottom of what their musical influences are sooner or later. I've been meaning to catch them our here in LA the last few times now but haven't made it so i'm excited to hear that they will be back on tour this spring. If your'e at SXSW this weekend make sure the check them out! If not, check out the tour dates below to see when they're coming to a city near you.

Native Instruments presents: Traktor Kontrol F1 - Scratch Clips w/ Shiftee and Greg Nice [Live Video + Gearheads + SXSW Tour Dates]

Native Instruments : Official | Store - DJ Shiftee : Official
Above you finally get to see what Native Instruments' latest toy, F1, is all about. With a wonderful turntablism exhibition by DJ Shiftee and MC Greg Nice you get a feel for what direction NI is taking live performance. I'm not going to weigh in on the whole digital vs. analog debate. That whole thing is just like a snake eating it's own tail. All I'll say is that every martial artist has come to the same conclusion of their own expressive battle form, regardless of style, and I paraphrase, "The only thing that matters is a warriors skill set and their own mastery of their mind." The 2 time DMC champion will be performing a string of shows down at SXSW. You can view the details down below.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - How Far (The 2 Bears remix) [Tour Dates]

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud
Just went through a Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs listening binge just now. The weekend couldn't come any sooner. The coffee is really starting to kick in right now and this track is just the perfect addition to keep me going for the whole night. Below you will find The 2 Bears' interpretation of TEED's track How Far. It definitely still has that spacey vibe from the original but the groove is less "yay" and more "yeah". If that makes any sense to you, we should congregate at Hard this weekend...

Chromeo - Hot Mess LIVE on Conan [Live Video]

Chromeo : Official | Facebook | Twitter
Leave it to Dave 1 and P-Thugg to always put on a show. These two have yet to disappoint, and I hope they never do. Their latest album Business Casual has been out since fall of last year. If you have yet to pick up a copy be sure to do so. And while you're at it, pick up all the remixes as well[extremely enjoyable]. Can't wait to see what they have in store for Coachella...
