Averaging well over 100 shows per year, ‘Foreign Beggars’ are one of the most prolific and versatile Hip Hop outfits to emerge from the UK. Consisting of MC’s Metropolis and Orifice Vulgatron, Producer Dag Nabbit, Human Beat boxer Shlomo and DJ Nonames. They are a powerhouse and are not to be trifled with. Foreign Beggars have been featured here at Crossfaded Music before with their collaboration with Flux Pavillion and SKisM titled Jump Back. The talented British hip-hop/grime/dubstep group based in London have brought us one of the most infectious beats in 2012 with the release of their forthcoming album “The Uprising” and their new single ‘Palm Of My Hand’. With an array of electronic and equally minimalistic percussive instrumentation, the Kid Kanevil produced track delivers a complete domination of rhythm.

After seeing SBTRKT live at the Fox Theater I couldn’t help myself but to post about them because quite frankly that was one of the best concerts of the year so far.  They are a solid two man group with a musical background.  The singer Aaron Jerome sings and their drummer has some damn good chops, all the while they mix samples in between singing and playing.  So to call them multifaceted is an understatement.  The first song I have for you is a very sensual song and would recommend you grab your partner for this song.

The second song I have for you features Sampha on vocals and is perfect for when your night is winding down after a great night of partying.  So please enjoy.

The final song from SBTRKT is called Pharaohs and features Roses Gabor on vocals.  This is a little more upbeat but still manages to be smooth and chill in true SBTRKT style.

Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino is an amazing lyricist. Not only that, but he tends to DJ his own tracks. Needless to say he is a multifaceted individual. Also, he has been featured here on Crossfaded plenty of times, most recently on our Welcome Back post. Off his newest mixtape “Camp” he drops Heartbeat and this song has such a soft intro that drops into heavy electro segments that make this song a juggernaut. He incorporates fast paced rapping over a sick melody. It is amazing how he can convey such great arrogance over his tracks. I find it to be such an interesting take on the rap genre. Also, the video is sick as hell and is worth a view.

Childish Gambino – Heartbeat

Buy Childish Gambino’s mixtape Camp on iTunes.

Next up is the Proper Villains remix of Heartbeat brings forth a gnarly dubstep remix and it hits hard. It is a good mix of hard melodic dubstep and constant wobbles. This song can be enjoyed both driving around and at a dance party. With that sort of versatility it is obvious that Proper Villains has been refining his view on how dubstep should be produced. It is working because this song bangs. Proper Villains has amazing star quality so be sure to check out his Facebook and Soundcloud. Now listen.

Last but certainly not least is the remix done by The Golden Pony. A relatively unknown artist who has some amazing potential. With his version of Heartbeat he gives the song a complete makeover and makes it into a great dance/pop song that will make any crowd go wild. It is fast paced happy-go-lucky take on this song. It has very fun synths and nice transitions that will keep you guessing. The Golden Pony delivers big time with this remix, so, give him some love on his Facebook and Soundcloud.

Today is Fresh Filth Friday, and its a Filthy one with a selection from Micky Slim’s mix for DJ Mag’s April issue which is a perfect mesh of grime and electro. Id like to add that the entire mix, entitled “One Man Gang” is pure unadulterated earporn, so be sure to get your copy of DJ Mag and Micky Slim’s exclusive Mix HERE.

Then we’ve got your grimy filth on the track “Lets Go Back” from Majestic. Also, Swedish House Mafia’s “Greyhound” its a little older and already is married to its own vodka but its been on repeat and appeared on Tiesto’s club life so I’m branding this track STILL FRESH and needs no introduction.

To start your Thirsty Thursday off the correct way, I bring you a remix of the classic, Eiffel 65’s “I’m Blue.” Mister Perfect, who is a still relatively unknown, drops a fantastic remix of one of the biggest hits of the 90’s. I’m sure if you heard the original you would want to run into a pencil because it is honestly annoying. But this remix is epic and should bring back memories of how awesome the 90’s were and will make you want to party. So please enjoy.
