remix baby: cousin cole offers up 3 new remixes for timbaland, soulja boy and cassidy!

it's been awhile since i've had the time to go through my wongie's music world inbox, so imagine my total joy when i found THREE kick ass remix gems from my brooklyn boy cousin cole today! if you haven't heard these yet, grab these asap!

timbaland - the way i are (cousin cole's unwound mix) [link 2]
[mashing in a bit of marva whitney's "unwind yourself", this totally sounds like a timbaland/dap kings collaboration (hm... weirder things have been known to happen) hot!]

soulja boy - crank dat (soulja boy) (cousin cole remix) [link 2]
[i have to admit that i just discovered the original version by soulja boy last week. i think my lack of interest (to this top 10 smash) has to do with the fact that there are way too many self emposed dance 'crazes' these days. thanks to good ol cousin cole, i'm dancing like a superman, no I MEAN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU]

cassidy - my drink & my 2 step (cousin cole remix) [link 2]
[definitely better than the original version by rapper cassidy. i'm surprised he's still signed to a label.]

hype wongie: flagrant fowl's new cd coming out this summer

brooklyn based dj's cousin cole and pocketknife have been making the waves in the local club scene as purveyors of the fun party. but since i'm a social incompetent, what introduced me to them was a number of lovely remixes that made the rounds of indie tracks with subtle beats mixed in.

recently the awesome indie dance blog discobelle have been trumpeting the most recent cousin cole party mix. but the cos himself sent me a note saying that his collaboration with pocketknife, called flagrant fowl, will be releasing a massive album of 17 to 18 entirely folk/acoustic/indie remixes called tambourine dream late this summer!

as a tease for that album, here are some remixes done by pocketknife that will be featured on it (i can't wait for the full length!):
White Magic - The Gypsies Came Marching After (Pocketknife's Silk, Wool, and Rust Remix) [link 2]

Feist - Gatekeeper (Pocketknife's faded beach towel remix) [link 2]

remix baby: charlotte gainsbourg - the operation (cousin cole remix)

charlotte gainsbourg - the operation (cousin cole remix)

[brooklyn dj and cutie patootie cousin cole recently passed on to me his latest remix of charlotte gainsbourg's lovely song "the operation". though i kind of passed over charlotte's album 5:55 the first time around, after listening to this version, i'm definitely going to go back and see what i've been missing. thanks cousin cole!
