DSCVR DIM MAK - A GUN CALLED TENSION!
Yes, we're aware that we've been a lill MIA with the old DSCVR DIM MAK posts... With the help of Elliot and the rest of the RCRDLBL homies we've returned. This week we roll through the Dim Mak archives and bring you the the track "Gold Fronts" from A Gun Called Tension's 2005 self-titled release that spanned across multi-genres including post-punk, hip-hop, pop and dub by way of large lyrics, tweaked bleeps, live drums and electric guitar. The band was made up of first time collaborators Sean Reveron (Free Association, Exodus 77, The Beta Band) and Dan Gallucci (Modest Mouse, Murder City Devils). Check out "Gold Fronts".

STREAM: Champain Era - Homecoming + Drawls feat. Famlay
Champain Era is next in what is now a long line of Virginia MCs. The Va Beach native has spent time in the studio with hometown heroes Pharrell and Clipse and has been holding down the Top of the South movement ever since his mixtape debut hosted by DJ Devastator a few years back. Recently he's been seen around town with a nine-piece go-go band, rocking crowds with his Saturday night-meets-Sunday morning swagger. Check out the parking lot anthem 'Homecoming', a tribute to his college football days at Morehouse, filled with old school go-go rhythms and bleacher chants for days. Next up is 'Drawls' featuring Famlay. The title says it all: swimming pools, baby mamas, cupid at point blank...just a couple Southern gentlemen politely asking for them drawls.
For those of you in NYC, drop by Studio B Friday the 11th to check Champain along with Prince Paul and Devin The Dude.
