Things are brewing

Things are working for us here at Awkward Pirates central. We'll be keeping you up to date on our happy happs in 2010 so stay with us.

bmore

It's not often we get a bmore set sent over, which is weird seeing how hot it is right now. Here in Holland its mostly house djs that incorporate bmore into their sets.

Uncle Jesse sent over their baltimore mix. I have to say I hadnt heard from them before but this mix will surely get you going if bmore is your thing.

Here's some info on him and Chavy Boys he sent along:

We just had a joint on the My Crew Be Unruly release(Uncle Jesse-Stricker)on Flamin' Hotz a release that went along with the part we were also of the event for the last to years.Also resident at the upcoming "The Social" monthly with Steez Promo our first guest is AC Slater in October and Bird Peterson in November......next offical release is Tharsis 011 Uncle Jesse "Lanville"ep which has remixes from Da Carrot(Paris),Dirty Basement, and Leko available sept 29th

Best music video of 2009 nominees

I just might have stumbled upon the two greatest music videos of all time. Of course by saying that I'm sure to offend a lot of people who disagree with me and have their own personal best so by all means; if you have a different nominee for the 2009 best music video award please share it with us in the comment section.

The 2 clips might show some similarities in videostyle but in terms of music these two tracks are completely different. I'm quite drawn to the Riva Starr track because of the dance style shown at 03:13 which just happens to be my way of dancing aswell.

First up is Riva Starr - I was drunk (f. Noze) & blackcat whitecat

Muzzaik - Fat Patch (leaders of the new school)

That crazy long-haired cat just jiggles my giggles.

Oh jawel

Het is dan toch eindelijk zo ver. Voor morgenavond staat de Amsterdamse TWSTD dj contest op het programma. Het begint allemaal om 21:15 en het publiek mag mee stemmen over wie doorgaat naar de volgende ronde dus komt allen.

Eventjes gekeken op http://www.twstd.nl/ tegen wie ik het opneem en dat ziet er toch wel zeer indrukwekkend uit:

Fair-D
Ferdy van Os / Fair-D is a DJ who loves to party. If he isn’t playing behind the wheels of steel, he is standing in front of them. The love for music started with the piano at early age.
Unable to read music tabs, he played music by ear. At the age of 17, Ferdy discoveredTechno music. The atmosphere and open people surrounding this scene made him want to participate even more to Techno then just dancing to it.With it’s enthusiasm for entertaining, and experience in the scene, Fair-D knows what the crowd wants. Trying to focus on swinging grooves, Fair-D try’s to move Techno to a more funky level. Keeping soul and rhythm there, where most DJ’s forget them. Fair-D recentlyplayed @ Minimaal Kabaal, KrancK, and the After Rave of Time Warp.

Eddy Jordan
Tech-House / Detroit Techno
EDDY JORDAN's voorliefde voor elektronische muziek ontwikkelde zich op 13 jarige leeftijd toen hij in aanraking kwam met het album van Alexander Kowalski.
Al snel ging al zijn zakgeld op aan detroit georiënteerde platen en liep hij nachtenlang op zijn kamer plaatjes te mixen. Dit wierp snel zijn vruchten af, hij draaide in ondere de Lichtfabriek, Bootleg cafe, Atlantis, en Decadance (belgie) en op Housequake en Indian Summer festival. Zijn muziekstijl kan het best omschreven worden als minimalistische funky techhouse met een blend van warme detroit techno.

Lijkt me hoe dan ook een leuke avond met veel goede muziek dus ik zie jullie daar.

And to our foreign readers: thanks for all the emails we've recieved from you over the last few months. I haven't gotten around to listening to all the demo's, mixtapes and tracks you've sent in but most of what I have heard was very good.

I really do enjoy your music but as you've seen', I'm not as active with the blog as I used to be so don't be too dissappointed if you're music doesn't make it through.

Kid cudi x So me

Alright, so the story is that there's this clip that's out on the internet for the track 'day n night' by kid kudi (and crookers remixing that track). Aaaaanyway, it turned into a hype since the claim was that the video was not official and they wanted the clip off the internet because of it.

Turns out that, in the end, it's not a problem at all since So Me shined his light on Kid Kudi and made a masterpiece of a video causing the old video to be forgotten pretty I fast I reckon.
Have a looksy

AWKWARD PIRATES 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Oh yes, we've been blogging along for an entire year now! Writing about all that interests us. Music, pictures and video's we liked.

We figured that, to mark this occasion, instead of writing about other artists it was time we shared something that's made by ourselves.

Here it is; no cuts, no edits, no stand-ins, no photoshop, 1 take, 1 time.

BSMNT SNDSSTM

Again with the Beesmunt you might say, well these guys are seriously making a name for themselves like crookers were in '08. Also, it seems 7 out of 10 party's we attend in Amsterdam feature the Beesmunt duo and they just don't let down.
Go see them if you're near one of their gigs.

BEESMUNT - BIZON

RRRRrriva

Riva emailed us a while back with what was going to be our first post of 2009. 'T was bit of a chaos here at awkward pirate central so it'll be our second post of 2009.

The track's kind of a surprise if you're formiliar with Riva's stuff but a good listen nonetheless.
KRS1 - SOUNDOFDAPECAN (RivaStarr Rechunk)

Oi oi!

Welcome back!



First off, happy 09. May it bring much more banging tunes, irrelevant but artsy pictures and off the hook parties.

This year you can expect much more news of us, the awkward pirates. We've been playing at parties for a year now and we figure it's time to step up and really show Holland who we are.

Back to the music. We got a track for you that I picked up in 2008. The remix title kind of says it all; it's a simple yet oh so effective remix of sebastiAn's momy and it's got that classic ring to it.
