Ah geez, sometimes it'd hard to express just how much I love HOLLYWOOD HOLT. It's hard to contain the excitement I have for his eventual album and how pumped I am every time i get to see him kill it live.

So, you can imagine how stoked I was when the man himself slid over 2 EXCLUSIVE remixes of his latest single 'Hollywood' to post on IHEARTCOMIX!

SAMMY BANANAS and WILLY JOY come out swinging on the their renditions of HOLLYWOOD's track. SAMMY especially does my favorite production of his yet, showing a real maturity in his remix and exploring the range that Bmore influenced club can really have. WILLY JOY's laid back remix also does the song significant justice by adding heavy bass and yet retaining a slick 'cool'.

YES!! Here is HOLLYWOOD HOLT's new video for his debut single on CHOCOLATE INDUSTRIES! The MANO produced track is totally off the hook and the video has cameos from all kinds of CHICAGO big wigs. Soooo good!

More from my favorite city for Hip Hop right now, CHICAGO. We have a brand new mixtape from SHALA. You may remember a mix we posted by him a few months ago called IMMORTAL MOVEMENT RADIO, well, this is PART 2 of that and features all the heavy hitters from the current CHICAGO scene: COOL KIDS, HOLLYWOOD HOLT, MILLION DOLLAR MANO, QUALO, MIC TERROR, FLOSSTRADAMUS, HE SAY SHE SAY, SHALA and more...

As a bonus, we've included a download of the opening track 'I AIN'T GOIN'. This track is so fuckin rad. It was supposed to be on my mixtape originally, but i couldn't get it to work right. It's no discredit to the song itself, though, it's a real modern masterpiece. You may also recognize the main sample in the song from SEBASTIAN's now classic track 'H.A.L.'.

i have a horrible cough.
i blame too many drinks and sleeping on franki chan's patio all week in smog heaven aka lalaland aka Los Angeles.

so right before we came down to l.a. for a week long tour which ended last wednesday, we did our third 'WEheartDAFTPUNK' party in Vancouver.
we do them every 6 months. kids come out. get 3D. and we play all Daft edits we've made for 3 straight hours till we have heart murmurs.
so here are three of the edits that we played that nite.

so now you don't have to go through your one million Daft Punk remixes and be like...."ohhhh, should i play the mano edit....oh, the krames edit is so gangster...oh, that technics edit is so good..."
but you have to pick ONE!
you can't play 9 Daft Punk songs in one nite.
well you can if you are us, but no one else.

so here are some "end of the perfect party" club edits for your raves, you ravers.

let the hating begin!!!!

oh and if you want to see pictures from our last installment of our bi annual WEheartDAFTPUNK Photobooth, our serious most excellent friends in Vancouver, Buns+Johnny, painted this amazing Daft Punk carnival cutout of Thomas+Guy hanging out on the moon with a globe(?) that we had every kid in Vancouver get their pic taken in.

Last night one of our good friends, HOLLYWOOD HOLT, was in VANCOUVER hanging out and waiting to play for MY!GAY!HUSBAND! at 1/2 ALIVE tonight. While hanging out, HOLLYWOOD accidentally slipped into a window and broke it, cutting the main artery in his right arm. He was rushed to the hospital and immediately put into surgery and is now recovering. MY!GAY!HUSBAND! is organizing a movement to help raise money to help pay for this unexpected and uninsured injury (even though he was in CANADA). Please show support!

You can email MY!GAY!HUSBAND! HERE.
