FOOL’S GOLD

Duster’s video art from the Scion Installation 6 traveling show is now up online in its entirety. Check some background on the piece here.

Check out this great mini-doc on Fool’s Gold and it’s founders A-Trak, Nick Catchdubs and Dust La Rock, as part of Intel and Vice’s Creators Project.

As mentioned earlier, the launch party for the Project is this weekend in NYC featuring our own Nacho Lovers and a bounty of other amazing acts. If you missed the RSVP, don’t fret, we’re going to be involved in future CP events around the globe. Stay tuned!

Like banter? Check A-Trak, Nick Catchdubs and Dust La Rock getting their anecdote on for Bushmills’ “Since Way Back” campaign. Videos directed by Gregory Brunkalla, hit the jump for another. (more…)

Following a gallery tour across the US, Dust La Rock’s “Occult Of Personality” video project finally makes it’s way home to BK (along with the rest of Scion’s Installation 6) launching at Eastern District on Friday, June 4th. Full details here, and for a taste of what’s in store check this teaser / interview vid.

Starting this week, people walking the streets and riding the subways of NYC and Brooklyn have been greeted by the handsome trio of FG founders A-Trak, Nick Catchdubs and Dust La Rock, mugging it up for Bushmills’ new “Since Way Back” ad campaign, also featuring portraits of friends Chromeo, DFA, No Mas, and Kai Regan and co. There’s painted wall-size versions (ours is next to Alife Rivington Club), subway ads, and proper billboards throughout the metro area. Keep us posted with your Twitpics, etc when spotted!

For more, check the Bushmills Facebook page, and see more pics (and video of our photo shoot at Jonathan Mannion’s storied NYC studio) after the jump. (more…)

We’re dropping Jokers Of The Scene’s latest single “Revolting Joks” on May 25th as well. Dust La Rock really went all out on the cover art as well (more Dust La JOTS surprises coming this summer…) and the single comes backed by one freakout of a remix courtesy of Boy 8-Bit. Look for it at the end of the month, and preview the tune’s hypnotic piano riff on our European Vacation Tour wrap-up video.

As you may have seen on the internets, we got together with Celebriducks to manufacture a limited batch of actual rubber ducks featuring the Dust La Rock-designed Duck Sauce mascot. They are finally hitting stores: buy now at Turntable Lab, and look out for our plastic feathered friends at Colette in Paris and Kid Robot locations worldwide as well.

In other “things you can buy” news, TTL is also selling fabulous 12″ vinyl for Count + Sinden’s “Mega” (with Jokers Of The Scene and Harvard Bass remixes) and Bag Raiders’ Big Fun EP, featuring Donnis on “All The Girls” and JOTS and XXXChange remixes of “Fun Punch.” Look out for these singles everywhere fine wax is sold as well!

After getting people hyped with the music video, and a packed month of “More Fire” tour dates, it’s only right that Congorock’s “Babylon” finally sees official release. The single features a massive vocal version with dancehall don Mr Lexx (the voice behind Major Lazer’s “Hold The Line” and many more lighter-flickers), the instrumental dub you already know and love from the video, and a “Lexxapella” for the DJs to play with. Big!

Grab it next week on Beatport, and all other services shortly there after. Vinyl on its way too, with some huge remixes… oh you thought we forgot about those? Hell naw! If that’s not enough, you can grab these none-more-black Congorock logo tees at our webstore, featuring the new metal logo from the “Babylon” sleeve above, designed by Dust La Rock ov cvrse!

Spooky siblings Dust La Rock and Star Eyes recently delved into the deepest recesses of their respective record libraries to whip up this new Ov Cvrse mix for Mishka. It’s a collection of everything from Ministry, Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb to Black Strobe, Adult and even Benga and Skream’s coldest moments. And it is awesome!

The mix came out so well, in fact, that Mishka decided to keep the name for their SXSW showcase of icy synths and “-wave” suffixes. More info on that show (which includes a set from our own Jokers Of The Scene) here. Tracklist for the Ov Curse mix after the jump. (more…)

Scion filmed us a while back at the office, at A-Trak and Dust La Rock’s Grateful Bear signing, and at the afterparty with Trouble & Bass later that night. Their little behind-the-scenes glimpse (taken from Scion Magazine #15) is up now, enjoy.
