Meatskull..Because Life’s Too Short For Boring Music


Pilooski Live at Mr. Saturday Night

The irrepressible Pilooski live in the mix va Eamon Harkin’s web spot.

“It’s been a very busy summer but now with Sunday Best and The Beach Party in full flight there’s a little breathing room in an otherwise hectic schedule to launch websites, release records and get through the general back log.

More to come on all of that in time but for now I’m happy to finally post a gem of a mix from Pilooski recorded live at the Mister Saturday Night loft/warehouse party from last month. No track list on this one but I can say its a treasure trove of edits from all the top players in the game. Just what you’d expect from the Parisian master. Here you go…”

The SHEEN BROTHERS present Scumbag Funk Vol 1

-2-1

Hoo-ee..this gritty gem came through to me recently on the email (meatskull@gmail.com). It’s a prize coupling of Cosmo Baker and 4th Pyramid and…well, i’ll let this tell you more:

DJ extraordinaire Cosmo Baker (The Rub, NYC) and MC/Producer phenom 4th Pyramid (Toronto) jokingly came up with the concept of THE SHEEN BROTHERS one balmy Manhattan evening: A duo of slicked-out sleazestars tuned into the greasy funk and drippy disco sounds that make girls lose control and guys feel like macks hit the stage in style to turn the party out. Unbeknownst to them, the two hit on a virtual party rocking monster machine that’s no joke. With Cosmo on the ones and twos and Pyramid on the MPD, these two have smoothed out their own brand of sexy dance floor flavor, what they like to call Scumbag Funk, and the people want more. What can they say…it’s a Sheen thing.

Now, you can get your greasy fingers on a piece of SHEEN with this, their much anticipated mix, Scumbag Funk Vol. 1. Out the gates first with an electrifying mix of the dankest drippy-disco around is SHEEN Brother, 4th Pyramid.  Get ready for the funk at its finest, being a sleaze ball never felt this good.”

02 – I’m Your Pimp – Skull Snaps
03 – Let’s Take Off – Dam Funk
