Here it is… the “Barbra Streisand” video
“Uptown, downtown / Turn the beat around town / Hip hoppin’, beat boppin’ / There’s no stoppin’ / To the sound of the New York City beat…”
It is with great pleasure that we bring to the official video for Duck Sauce “Barbra Streisand”, directed by So Me.
I don’t even really want to write about the guests or the process of making the vid, just check it out and I hope you enjoy it. I think it speaks for itself.
“Barbra Streisand” release info… video coming soon!
I know this is long awaited… long long long awaited. People have been asking us about this release ever since Armand and I played the song at WMC and it popped up on youtube. Then came the fan-made cover versions and all types of stuff floating around on blogs.
Well now, in the words of the great Biz Markie… “All samples cleared.”
So it is with great pleasure that we can finally announce the release of this fun lil’ ditty.
The main release date is Oct 11th (UK, pre-order here) and 12th (North America). Same for South Africa.
Australia is getting early dibs on Sept 24. Germany gets it a little later, Oct 29.
Most other countries will get filled in around the same time.
Now before you go anywhere, take a second and soak in that cover art, courtesy of my man Dust La Rock.
There is also a video dropping soon, sooner than you think.
Chromeo on Letterman! Whoa.
“Our next guests are an acclaimed duo from Montreal, Canada…”
Um, hi everyone. Haven’t posted much lately but I’m about to fix that. For starters, let’s watch a video that has me beaming with pride, Chromeo on The Late Show with David Letterman last night. Note: the other guests were Bill Clinton and the Merengue Dog. I think our boys fit very nicely in the middle.
If you hadn’t heard, their new album Business Casual is out now in North America (out next week in the UK), make sure you pick it up and check their site for more info.
Farewell Fat Beats
After 16 years of being the mecca of underground hip hop, Fat Beats closed its last remaining stores in New York and LA. I have a lot of history with the company, since my first record label Audio Research was distributed through them. So it was an honor to be invited to perform on the last day of a week of in-stores, last Saturday, alongside many greats like DJ Premier, Just Blaze and DJ Scratch. I did a full set of routines, I think it was about 17 minutes long! That’s like 3 DMC’s, yo. Peter Rosenberg captured some highlights, peep the video… and Fat Beats, I tip my fedora to thee.
DAY OFF! Free NYC Labor Day Party with Fool’s Gold + Friends!
Putting a giant exclamation point on another summer of smash singles and packed-out parties across the country, Fool’s Gold is throwing a free DAY OFF party on Labor Day. It’s going down from 2-8pm in a great outdoor space behind City Winery in NYC (155 Varick St, entrance on Spring between Hudson & Varick) and the all-ages event will feature guest raps from Yelawolf, Pill and Donnis, DJ sets from The Brothers Macklovitch (Dave & me), Just Blaze, Craze, Klever, Kill The Noise and Nick Catchdubs, and a live performance by The Suzan. It’s truly a family affair, with their friends from Scion, The Fader, LTD+, Slow Roast, Jelly and more on board to make it a can’t-miss party!
