FOOL’S GOLD

Check out Discodust for the new JOTS remix of Les Gillettes’ “Pompeii,” as well as a bonus beat they whipped up for Ali Love.

I keep a RAT folder on the desktop for all the new stuff that piques my interest enough for general column consideration, then pick through for standouts to post for you, the good people of the Fool’s Gold website. Tonight it’s not about the newest or the “best of,” we’re gonna go straight to the mp3 oddballs: Ryan Leslie radio commercials, mixtapes based on Trey Parker movies, and more of the raps that make you go hmmmmmm.

Just in time for Valentines day, here’s two schmoove Foolcast mixes courtesy of our friends Four Color Zack and DJ Sneak!

FCZ is up first with his “Bang, Hard.” mix, featuring some of his favorite recent (and not so recent) jams from the “darker, more experimental” side of R&B. House hero DJ Sneak provides “For The Ladies, Vol 1″ with his signature house take on the holiday’s luv-ed up vibes, an hour and change of feel-good vocals and some very unexpected remix choices.

Subscribe to the Foolcast via iTunes or your favorite RSS reader at the main page, where you can also download the mixes directly.
