FOOL’S GOLD

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…)

Check out Craze’s contribution to Mishka’s “Keep Watch” series, featuring a lot of new and unreleased music from the folks you know and love: A-Trak’s forthcoming Tiga remix, Congorock’s “Babylon,” and a grip of soon-to-drop exclusives from his FG-distributed Slow Roast label with Kill The Noise. A bounty of bass! Go download now.

Check out Nicky Digital’s site for pics from our most excellent halloween bash with Trouble & Bass this past weekend - there’s XXXChange the bride, Kingdom the monk, Nick Catchdubs insane in the membrane, and three very special little piggies. More shots over at Driven By Boredom.

Shout to Good Peoples for throwing it with us and Mishka for printing up a most excellent collab tee draw-ed by Dust La Rock! You can grab the remaining shirts at the Mishka store in BK or on their website but act fast!

Go download the homie Rusko’s new one for Mishka’s fun “Keep Watch” mixes, featuring a new “Slow Nails” take on his remix of Kid Sister’s “Pro Nails” (from our FG Remixed comp). While you’re at it, get Jokers Of The Scene and Congorock’s contributions to the eyeball series as well!

More Rusko x Kid Sister goodies on the way…

The second volume of alt-rock party mixin from FG’s Nick Catchdubs and his homie Mr Ducker is out now in conjunction with the fine folks over at Mishka. Download it here and check the tracklist after the jump. De La and Teenage Fanclub! (more…)

My latest mixtape, long in the making. In case you can’t tell, it’s an all-alt rock affair. Physical promo copies are going out to all Mishka retail accounts w/ their fall orders, and it’s free for everyone on the interweb as of this morning.

The post title says it all! Some new madness from our Ottawa neighbors, featuring lots of exclusives (including some Fool’s Gold sneak peeks) and enough ravey flavor to keep your pupils dilated all weekend. Download it here, tracklist after the jump! (more…)

Ever since we first started Fool’s Gold, we always considered Diplo’s Mad Decent to be our brother label in the North American music/DJ scene, and the feeling was mutual. We would constantly brainstorm ideas for ways our two labels could work together, and one of the most fun was a Post-It Note that simply read “MAD FOOLS RAVE IN THE WOODS.” We’re not quite there yet, but we’re getting closer with next Sunday’s (7.20) free Central Park SummerStage show, the first annual “Mad Fools” featuring Santogold, Diplo, A-Trak, Kid Cudi, Mz Streams with DJ Blaqstarr, and surprise guests. Get ready! And get there early - there will be free shirts featuring the above artwork by Dust La Rock and Mike Jones of Mishka. Afterparty details soon…
