Snowyman by Saadi (Official Music Video)

“Nawang descends to earth with her sisters to bathe during a simultaneous winter solstice and lunar eclipse. Jaka spies her and falls in love, stealing her cloak to keep her on earth. She weeps for her loss and Jaka comforts her. They soon marry and have a child, who unwittingly discovers the cloak. Nawang confronts Jaka and returns to her home in the moon.”

SNOWYMAN out now on Dither Down Records

Over the past two years, The Soundmen have become one of the hottest and most buzzed about production teams, remixers, and DJ duo in music. Comprised of Scott Durday, a talented drum and sample programmer, and Justin Jamison, a trained studio engineer and multi-instrumentalist, they draw from the sounds of their past to create music for the future. Influenced by rap, electro, house, classic soul, & 80’s music, The Soundmen are able to manipulate their sound to match whatever an artist is seeking. They have produced and remixed for artists ranging from Foster The People to Johnny Polygon.

The duo has been hard at work for 2012 and are proud to release their first official single via Dither Down Records. The song “Funny Feeling” is a genre bending, nostalgic trip down memory lane; laced with the bright synths and signature bounce of what listeners have come to expect from Soundmen productions. The track features the woozy vocals of The Glass (Plant Music) front-man Dominique Keegan, also known as All Dom Wrong and is the perfect track to take listeners into the spring.

The single drops this May and will feature a variety of remixes from buzzing french producer MR KS, Harlem’s own $1 Bin, Denote records’ Villanova and the soaring sounds of Panic City.

RUDE BOY by JOGYO

Available Digitally Everywhere.

7″ at fine vinyl retailers or buy direct at store.ditherdown.com

The name, JOGYO translates from sanskrit as “Pure thoughts or stillness among action.” The band, JOGYO is about flow, surrendering to the constant change and harnessing it to create a sonic bombast that is hard to compare to any other. Reggae and hardcore elements mingle with tribal and folkloric influences to create an entirely new sound. Marrying components of tribal music with electronic beats results in music that somehow recalls the best work of Public Enemy producers “The Bomb Squad” while simultaneously calling back to the artists’ roots in the African Diaspora and the New York art world. JOGYO is Dru Barnes and Devi Mambouka.

Raised just outside Trenchtown, Dru Barnes spent much of his youth in the woods with his grandparents learning the old traditions of his home country. After coming to America armed with the lessons learned in the woods, he began to apply them to music and art projects in New York.

Growing up as the daughter of the Ambassador of Gabon and a Singaporean mother, Devi Mambouka obtained a unique perspective on Africa as a source of our essential being and as a metaphor for the merging of the disparate cultures of the world from which they had sprung forth.

Joined by their early exposure to extreme views of the world, Barnes and Mambouka chose to not abandon the old world lessons they learned in their youth and instead decided to fuse the old and modern world through the music of JOGYO.

On “Rudeboy,” JOGYO’s debut single, Barnes, in an attempt to push things forward, exclaims, “I don’t wanna be a rudeboy no more no more.” Produced by The Last Nights, AKA Jordan Parker, “Rudeboy” is a distorted electro dancehall onslaught.

The b-side is “Thundacat,” a bass-heavy yet quirky dance floor banger also produced by Parker. Barnes and Mambouka wax about the future of music and individuality.

NIGHTSPOT by 33Hz

Available Digital Everywhere

Vinyl In Stores November 22

Buy direct at store.ditherdown.com

The boys of 33Hz are back from the beach, and this time, they are ready for sin.

At least that’s the story behind 33Hz’s new single, “Nightspot”, a tale of bacchanalian longing set in the midst of a short visit to a friend outside of New York. But sometimes lounging just ain’t enough, and it’s time to find that after-hours club on the shady east-side of town packed with people far too strange to come out in the daylight.

Produced by Ming (of Ming & FS), “Nightspot” is a straight up electro-disco number that places 33hZ squarely back on the dance floor at Odyssey 2001…or more like Odyssey 2011. Mixing classic NYC “classy” disco with a touch of French house and a pinch of R&B, “Nightspot” is a perfect soundtrack to a pre-party, or the evening’s eventual peak, or the woozy 4am after-party.

The 12” release features a stripped down disco dub remix from disco dancefloor darlings Beg To Differ (Nick Chacona & Roy Dank of Wurst Music). The b-side is an Electro-fied rework of the 33Hz song “Stephanie All Night” by Ulysses (Throne Of Blood, Wurst).

The Extended Digital EP features remixes from Ming (Hood Famous). Eli Escobar (Tiki Disco/Plant/Dither Down), Walker & Royce (Nurvous), Galactic Classics (Dither Down) and blog darlings The Soundmen.
