This comes from the forthcoming DJ Scream mixtape of the same name. It's the most ridiculous song title I've seen in a long time, and the hook is even more so. It's directed by Supa Villain and looks like it was filmed in Gulfport, so big up Mississippi (as usual). NSFW:

Click for interview!

It's a great honor to be interviewed alongside such big timers as Teki Latex, Paul Devro and Tacteel (not to mention a wealth of household name music bloggers). The Genevan Heathen has been interviewing new people every weekday over at his blog, and he'll continue doing so for the remainder of the summer for his Sensitive Summer series.

Check my interview here, and if you haven't spent much time on Genevan's blog, please go there and click around. You won't be disappointed.

P.S. Go get your official Geneven beach towel here and check out his new mix with DJ Raze here.

I realized at some point yesterday that I would not be able to avoid an MJ post. This man's impact on just about everything AiMT covers cannot be denied, so let's get on with it.



I'm not going to ramble on too much. You people know the deal. How about we start with a mix?

♥ 33:03: Jakwob & Jestar - "Beat It" [MP3]

This was cobbled together very quickly—no faff, no frills. But I guess I should make one thing resoundingly clear: I don't prefer any of these remixes or covers to their respective original versions. These remixes are just for fun. (Obviously we'll all be hearing plenty of the originals over the next few months.)

Captain EO is a 17-minute 3D film that was shown exclusively at Disney amusement parks (Epcot, Disneyland, etc.) premiering in '86 and closing in most of the parks about 10 years later.

Rest in peace, Micheal.

It wasn't even two weeks ago that I posted a mix by Cool Shoes alum Shawn Lee, but he's already churned out yet another to help promote the Savoir Faire rooftop party happening this Friday in Little Rock. Unlike his dubstep-leaning summer mix, this one screams party. It's chock full of highly recognizable pleasers, and if it's any indicator of what things will sound like on Friday, it's going to be one hell of a party.

The Savoir Faire lineup will include all three resident Cool Shoes DJs (Shawn Lee, Deeter and Risky Biz), which is something we rarely get to see.

Nowadays rap and dance drift along in a functional symbiosis, so you'd think remixes like this would be easier to come by. But I've had the damnedest time lately finding decent remixes of Top 40 rap tracks. I don't know what the deal is. This lil' jernt, flipped by Mehdi of the Ed Banger camp, is a nice cool drink in the sweltering dance/rap remix drought of '09. Quite a pleasant (and only mildly NSFW) surprise from the RCRD LBL blog's usually dime-a-dozen selection:

♥ THIS SONG ON THE HYPE MACHINE! / SAVE IT ON DELICIOUS!

Just a quick heads up that Emynd's new Club Champ EP is available on Amazon, eMusic, iTunes, etc. And you can stream the entire release over at Crossfaded Bacon. DJs take heed: the NOLA bounce remix by Peacachoo is not to be missed!

Thought I'd float you a couple of dubstep-leaning summer mixes from the Central Arkansas circuit. I spotted these over at Bass + Kicks, which is yet another new blog fronted by Cool Shoes crony Shawn Lee. Here's his mix:

If you're looking for more DJ sets out of the A-State, don't forget that Baby Armie jernt. So sexi.

Here's a quickie from Big K.R.I.T., who is quite possibly the busiest rapper out of Mississippi these days. He's had leaked tracks popping up all over the place lately. The summery Dirty South soul vibe on "The South" is nothing new, but it's wholly essential. Let's be honest—it's not even like southern rap needs an anthem right now, but I don't care. It feels right enough.

K.R.I.T. might catch some flack for emulating Pimp C and Rich Boy on this one, but I got his back. I'll be bumpin' this all summer:

Little Rock MC Epiphany and R&B crooner Sean Fresh just launched the I Am the Life blog, which maily deals with celebrity-circuit gossip and commentary but also dips into local matters. This slightly NSFW video finds the two of them in downtown Little Rock examining the state of recession-era local CD hustlin':

In other news, Epiphany has been floating me some of this flips and original tracks lately, so I thought I'd throw them in a zip file for easier consumption. The following joints are included (all NSFW):

• Epiphany [ft. Scotty Su] - "The Come Up"
• Epiphany - "Still 5 on It" [Flip of "I Got 5 on It" by Luniz]
• Paul Wall [ft. Webbie & Epiphany] - "Bizzy Body (Remix)"

Change is in the air here at AiMT. For starters, I'm hereby changing my DJ alias from the fossilized "Luminfire" to the oh-so-spry "Baby Armie." Don't ask why. It's just the movement.

My last two sets were of the new/old Italo and new wave varieties, but this one has an altogether different vibe. It's more upbeat and a lot closer to what you'd hear me spin live:
