Stretch and Bob just dropped knowledge (and some classic records!) for Red Bull’s Music Academy in San Francisco the past weekend. So what better time to drop the remaining Dust La Rock tees from their 20th Anniversary show? Act quick to snap up these shirts (we also have them at our retail location on 536 Metropolitan Ave in Brooklyn), and check the dynamic duo’s live set and awesome Q&A after the jump.

It’s not all magazine covers and Grammy nominations for A-Trak of course. None of this would be possible without good ole fashioned party rocking. So be sure to catch Trizzy in a town near you on The Great North American Club Crawl Tour, scratching its way from Canada to Cali and all in between. Full info and advance tickets here.

Seeing that a lot of DJs/producers/gear heads read this site the FG gang and I decided to start up a monthly gadget edition of Food Gold for those of you (and we hope there are many) who want to know about kitchen tools of the trade.

You have my word there won’t be any frumpy tricknology like your Aunt’s “bagel guillotine” or “pickle picker“. We are going to stick to the most crucial tools, the things you will buy once and use for the next ten years across many, many meals.

Short and sweet: if you are eating a lot of fruits and veggies you should get a mandoline.

This potentially nasty ‘lil performer is perfect for slicing fruits and vegetables.  It is also perfect for slicing your fingers so watch out.

You want to get one that has different blade settings for how thin the produce will be cut. And just to get you psyched on the investment here are some delicious things you can cut up with a mandolin: radishes (sliced in half and served with fresh butter and sea salt), cucumbers (cut almost transparently thin and served on top of pork meatballs with tomato and yogurt), zucchini (cut into discs, baked and topped w goat cheese) and maybe some cheese. A worthy purchase indeed. I like this one from OXO.

Fork The World,

Elliot

The Echoplex was the place to be last month, with the Fool’s Gold crew taking over the Check Yo Ponytail party for a night of raps, revelry and BRUISER MOTHERFUCKIN BRIGADE! Danny Brown headlined a night that also featured Kid Sister (backed by Sinden and J2K of Flosstradamus), Main Attrakionz, Party Supplies and Thee Mike B. Check out Spin’s gallery of shots by Nathaniel Turner, as well as a megacollection of photos and videos from our homie Glenjamn! Peep more from him after the jump.

If that’s not enough, check the party on NBC tonight when Danny makes his network television debut on Last Call With Carson Daly, airing tonight (well, Thursday morning if you want to get technical) at 1:35 am after Jimmy Fallon. Set them TiVOs.

Check out this remix of Solidisco’s “Hooked” by none other than our friend Codes. The single is out now on another friend’s label, DJ Benzi’s new imprint Get Right. Go house it up, and find more from Codes on the Slow Roast website.

Donnis’ Snack Pack series continues to hit you with that BASS! Check out his latest, including a track with IAMSU and Jay Ant, the “Hoes” joint he teased in the last Snack Pack, and another quick video (above) for a Juicy J collab. Joints galore…. download here and stream after the jump.

Sammy keeps it in the clurb with another party bootleg, following up his Young Jeezy rework by taking the Yeezy vocoder off J Cole’s “Work Out” and adding extra Bananas (and a former American Idol judge). Get groovy on SB’s Soundcloud.

In one of the cooler marketing combinations we’ve noticed lately, the folks behind the hotly anticipated Darkness II video game enlisted none other than Kingdom to curate a mixtape of moody, genuinely experimental club music from the likes of Terror Danjah, Fatimah Al Qadri, Nguzunguzu and of course himself. Download it here, and check all Kingdom’s FG releases here.
