Whoa Sick

New Eminem is SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:13:00 +0000

Had to post this... Dre came through with an INSANE beat and it was great to hear Eminem go in again. I really hope he makes a comeback, because I think 95% of the current crop of mainstream rappers need a reality check, and Marshall will give it to them. Enjoy it like its 2000 all over again.

Dre, Em, Nailin Sara Palin??? WHOA SICK!!!

Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Common, A Trak??? SO SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 17:20:00 +0000

Okay, as if Friday's WS treat wasn't enough, this all-star lineup of the big egos and bigger rhymes brings this years spring anthem for all you single kids out for some spring lovin. And I'm glad they flipped the Gaga sample, it was waiting to happen. Classy Gents.

Kid Cudi featuring Kanye West, Common & A Trak - Poke Her Face

hands down WHOA SICK.

Kid Cudi and Wale on a track... SICK.

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:27:00 +0000

Its Friday so leave it Whoa Sick to give you that weekend treat that you've been waiting for. The new ish, Kid Cudi featuring Wale, and yes... its some smoke and ride shtuff. This may be my new spring anthem. Take it, enjoy it, play it for your friends. Both of these guys deserve to win.

Kid Cudi featuring Wale - Look Up In Da Stars

Wale and Kudi on a new track??? WHOA SICK!!!

A Trak Infinity and One is SICK....

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:33:00 +0000

When it comes to club music and the current electro state of club music I dont know if I'm a big fan, but when it comes to who I would rather hear playing these loud thumping tunes, it would have to be A Trak, hands down. After witnessing him absolutely KILL the 1's and 2's at last year's Kid Sister release party I decided that even if the guy is mostly playing 125bps music, I will still listen. Here is its tracked out beauty is A Trak's entire new mix cd for your listening pleasure.
A Trak - Infinity and One

an entire A Trak mix on WS? WHOA SICK!

Oh yeah, I produced Bab's new single... sick? maybe

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:51:00 +0000

The Soundmen produced Bab's new single. Its a BK anthem. We gets it in.

Whoa Sick, Soundmen, and Making the Band??? WHOA SICK!

Dan Deacon is SICK...

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:39:00 +0000

No new music means no new posts... also moving to a new apt means no new posts... anyway back in effect and I was able to get my hands on the new Dan Deacon album, BROMST. Wow. Excellent album mainly because it harks back to the eloquent melodies of classic Aphex Twin. So in honor of such a good album I decided to remix my favorite track off the record. This obvious gets the whoasick stamp since I made the damn thang. Enjoy some exclusive ish.
Dan Deacon - Woof Woof (The Soundmen Remix)

Whoa Sick exclusive remix??? WHOA SICK!!!

For those readers in the NYC area there is party every saturday that you do not want to miss, and occasionally you can even catch me rockin the 1's and 2's along side legendary DJ Kev Sakoda. Peep the info below and roll out. There is always a wide array of slutty girls for the horn dogs, cheap booze for the drunkards, hot music for the cool kids, and low light to pretend you or who you're dancing with is better looking than you or he/she actually is. Go. Have a Blast. Catch you there.LES Party with low light? WHOA SICK!

Tabi Bonney IS SICK...

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 23:56:00 +0000

Okay so after peeping one of the illest videos of the year by Tabi Bonney I had to dig deeper. Dude is seriously fresh and I will be spinning his records in the club. But although his EP was hit or miss, he had a gem on there called Duhh, which I might say, is retarded. Like completely politically incorrectly retarded. Like Simple Jack style. Dont sleep on this.Tabi Bonney - Duhh

Tabi, Eric B, Check Out my melody??? WHOA SICK!!!

M.I.A......REALLY???? REALLY??? not sick.

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:34:00 +0000

M.I.A.'s legal people forced me to take down my posting of Rye Rye's new single. For such a seemingly progressive artist collective, you would think that posting a new single from her artist Rye Rye, who NO ONE knows, would be a positive move. Free press right? WRONG. I respect a leak being forced to be taken down, but when the artist puts that record up on their myspace it is no longer a "leak". Give the people, the DJs, the bloggers, and the press the freedom to enjoy and promote a single anyway they can. The whole point of a single is for promotion anyway.

As a producer as well as someone who works in the industry doing marketing and PR, when even the smallest blog writes and posts links to music I am promoting it is a positive move. Especially for an unknown artist such as Rye Rye, who 99% of the music purchasing community does not KNOW. Okay enough. I guess when you marry the son of the CEO of Warner Music you have to step in line to sound of the RIAA tune.

forced to take down a single??? NOT SICK.

Asher Roth - Lark On My Go Cart IS SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:25:00 +0000

Yes, I cant wait for this album. Because the content has been so controlled its actually got me excited. This video & song once again displays why Asher is one to watch. Seriously Sick song... but the video? WHOA! SICK! SBTB in full effect. And everyone knows Lark was the hottest of the 3.

Great Marketing, Great Music, No Mr. Belding cameo? still sick.

Tabi Bonney - Rich Kids - SICK!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:56:00 +0000

I know I've been bombarding the videos lately but there have been some seriously great visual media dropping lately! Tabbi Bonney just dropped his new single, "Rich Kids" and the video is extremely fresh. This reminds me of the house party scene in King of New York crossed with a little bit of "sensual seduction". Cant miss.

IF A DIMEBAG IS SOLD IN THE PARK, I WANT IN!!!! WHOA SICK!!!

OJ Da Juice Man is extremely SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:29:00 +0000

Not since Master P's "UUUUUNNGHHHH" has a rapper from the south come with come with such a hot adlib as OJ's "AIY!!" (instert high-pitched voice) After listening to so many tracks from these Freshmen 10 kids trying to quote-on-quote "elevate" the music and then deciding to retire (Kid Cudi), stop putting out mixtapes (Curren$y), stop making rap music "B.O.B.", drop a brick (Ace Hood) or just put me to sleep (Mickey Factz), I almost overlooked the hottest new artist to not get any hipster love... AKA OJ Da Juice Man. Well he actually isn't new, and has been dropping mixtapes continually for the past few years. Anyway, enough with the hoopla, get on that new ish. Washing Powder Monaaay AY! AY! AY!

OJ Da Juice Man & DJ 31 Degreez - 32 Karat Juice

oodle noodle, dr. loodle, pockets look like ramen noodles...AY! WHOA SICK!

Charles Hamilton - Loser.... well... this song is sick at least

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:22:00 +0000

There is something about CH that I cant directly point out, but its something that makes me dislike just about everything he does. BUT... this video and this song is EXCELLENT. The sample, the lyrics, just about everything reminds me of classic records that I used to love. CH is still too cocky for me to fully co-sign with a WS... but this is his best work yet. Judge for yourself and tell me what you think.

no WS cosign yet...

Murs is SICK... especially this joints

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:01:00 +0000

Hands down my favorite record of his new album. Stoked that they did a video.

Murs & hot jawns? WHOA SICK!!!

33hz are still sick...

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 04:35:00 +0000

When Whoasick was first getting started, 33hz was one of the bands that inspired me to start digitally supporting music I thought was fresh. Now they've entered the blogosphere full force with some SERIOUSLY sick viral videos for their new singles and records in 09. Enjoy these below in all their glory. Oh and by the way, Sentinel of Love may be the greatest disco record since Staying Alive... SICK.

33Hz - "Sentin el of Love" from max willens on Vimeo.

33Hz - I Feel Alive from max willens on Vimeo.

Vanishing Point at 33hz??? WHOA SICK!!!

Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar... Still Sick

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:34:00 +0000

one of the most slept on videos of all time. coupled with one of my top 5 favorite CB songs. If you dont know... now you know.

trains, uk dance music, sunny skies... WHOA SICK!!!

Rob Roy... SICK VIDEO

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:31:00 +0000

Almost as sick as Day & Night, a little sicker than Washing Powder Money.

P.O.S. is sick

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 22:41:00 +0000

Often times I write off anyone associated with Atmosphere due to usually overly EMO content. And if there is one thing I don't like, its slit wrists. So on a whim and bored with most hiphop right now I peeped P.O.S.'s new record.... DAMN. Okay I have to admit when I'm sleeping because this record is one of the most compelling releases I've heard in a minute and the production is seriously ON POINT. Below is probably my favorite song on the album and of the best records so far this year. Do not sleep on this.
P.O.S. - Low Light Low Life

Oh and he also has one of the best videos I've seen in a minute.

P.O.S. and not EMO? WHOA SICK!

June Featuring Glasvegas is SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:12:00 +0000

BX artist June brings straight HEAT with his new single, Stabbed. The beat is provided by The Soundmen...aka you know who... so its guaranteed to be a banger. Do no miss this record. June is one of the freshest new sounds in the industry and this new single keeps on proving that point.

June Featuring Glasvegas - Stabbed

Scottish rock and BX Hiphop?..... WHOA SICK!!!

June featuring Glasvegas - Stabbed in TWO DAYS!!!

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 04:07:00 +0000

A little tease of some of the promo art... WHOA SICK... peep June...

We Have Band is sick

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 03:49:00 +0000

Well first off again I must apologize for the lack of posts. The last two months have been filled with central american surf trips, production duties for demanding artists and most importantly finding a new apartment in the village during most chaotic rental market since the dot com boom. Also most new music has blown goats... but now I bring you more fire. AKA, WE HAVE BAND... a new group with a familiar sound but I gotta give these dudes props for fucking with Friendly Fires, aka my favorite group right now. Got a couple cuts below for whoasickers to check. Enjoy.

We Have Band - Hear It In The Cans

We Have Band - Oh (Friendly Fires Remix)

Friendly Fires are SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:27:00 +0000

To start off 09, I will be running through groups that I think are going to break into the mainstream eye this year. The blogging will be slow since right now I am extremely busy on outside projects and work. To start everyone off right is a group who had a couple decent blogosphere singles last year and are gearing up for a BIG debut album in '09. Thats right... Friendly Fires... and yes Chris Buhrman, mr Black Album himself, put me up on this band. But these guys serious rock and are a mix of Postal Service and Parliment. Gentlemen, start your engines, 09 is here.

Friendly Fires - Jump In Th e Pool

Friendly Fires - Lovsick

Friendly Fire is not sick.... but Friendly Fires...WHOA SICK!

The 11 sickest albums of 2008

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:27:00 +0000

After reading at least 10 different 'in-the-know' top ten lists it became very apparent that these music critics like to base their choices are what other 'bloggers' are writing about and not about artists who were actually putting out banging music. So as usual, Whoasick has stepped up to give you a brief synopsis of the albums that need to be in your speakers ASAP. You wont find folky/wimpy/sad/emo/L.A.R.P.ing music on this list, minus the Empire of the Sun album cover, I think it was a scene from a LARPer's wet dream. Instead you will be given the list of the music that most of these lists failed to mention or that they moved far down their lists to attemp to fill their list with bogus junk. Since most music bloggers are too busy growing out their mustaches and buying new vintage clothing to actually suggest music people will like, Whoasick has stepped to the plate. Enjoy.

11 - The Cool Kids - The Bakesale

After setting the internet on fire it was hard to ignore the minimal bounce and catchy lyrics. Literally these guys were forgotten at the end of the year because they started this hipster shit. Their EP was fire from start to finish and without a single guest appearance they proved that you dont need Ron Browz to make your record turn the club out.

Sickest Cut: 88
10 - Empire of the Sun - Walking On A Dream

After taking first place in the album cover department, Empire of the Sun delivered with their first album. This album pretty much sums up the experience of riding Falcor through a club while taking copious amounts of ecstasy. Do not miss it.

Sickest Cut: Walking On A Dream

9 - Shawn Jackson - First of All

Wow. Just wow. Excellent album from start to finish and it actually plays like a real album. From the skits to the multitude of sounds ranging from early Eric B & Rakim to the new Detroit knock, no track disappoints. And Charles Hamilton thought he was the only guy making real hiphop.

Sickest Cut: Feelin' Jack

8 - Air France - No Way Down

Air France isn't an original pick for best albums because it has been featured on multiple blogs who claim to have the quintessential taste in music. BUT, the album is so good and creates dreamiest music I've heard since I first listened to Orbital in my fledgling music days. This album makes me want to never wear pants or socks ever again.

Sickest Cut: June Evenings

07 - The Teenagers - The Teenagers

The Teenagers have been on the remix scene for a minute and have been widely loved as remixers yet their solo album seemed to be completely ignored while writers obsessively wrote about their Britney Spears remix and other various side-projects. Well sleep no more. This album is excellent and extremely funny. Lead singer, Quentin Delafon, does a combination of singing and talking and his broken english and thick french accent make for some hilarious moments. See: 'Not In Love'. I have listened to this album end to end without ever having to staple my eyelids to my forehead as I usually have to do with French pop.

Sickest Cut: Starlett Johannson

6 - G-Side - Starships and Rockets

This album literally floored me. Whoever thought that you could sample Enya, rap about your "TV screens flippin down" and create a rap classic. The G Side crew from Alabama has done something special here with original samples, swagger that makes Jim Jones look like Mr. Rogers, and lyrics that could be mistaken for either a Talib Kweli quote or Shorty Lo. Diplo took notice with his Huntsvegas mixtape with the crew, but their own release is end to end heat. 'Bama gettin money!

Sickest Cut: The Speed of Sound

5 - Black Milk - Tronic

Black Milk has continually delivered solid projects and this year he did not disappoint. 'Tronic' absolutely takes a steaming dump on every other 'producer/rapper who has tried to make an album. Ron who? Pharrell who? ALC? Black Milk spits like he has something to prove, and although his rhymes often fall back to typical bragging topics, the guy literally smashes your face in with snares that have been smoking rock all day and horns from another dimension. I produce records and all I can say is...damn. Oh and Dwele plays the Horn on a feature. Need I say more?

Sickest Cut: Long Story Short

04 - LadyHawke - LadyHawke

As producers go, LadyHawke should be in the top ranks of the pop world. Hailing from Austrailia, she jumped onto the scene this year with her extremely catchy self titled debut. I often tie a head band and watch Flashdance on mute while listening to this. You cant go wrong with another aussie trying to make you dance. Once again, an ignored album by most reviewers because they are racist against aussies. Put another shrimp on the barby!

Sickest Cut: Love Dont Live Here

03 - Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours

UGH. what can I say. I love the Breakfast Club. The final frame of that film perfectly sums up with album. I didn't want to like Cut Copy because they are the golden children of the gentrification kids, but the album was undeniably excellent. Zima, Members Only Jackets, Radd, and Corey Haim are all excellent things to have around while you listen to this album.

02 - Flying Lotus - Los Angeles

If Aphex Twin, J Dilla, The Neptunes and Portishead had a mutant child and it was raised by Stanley Kubrick....eh you get the picture. This twisted soundscape is so dense, bouncy and jagged that it is difficult to discern each song. And that's not a bad thing. This mostly instrumental album brought me back to the days in my dorm where I would listen to Richard D James straight through and start it again. Now if he would only start producing for rappers...

Sickest Cut: Camel

01!!!!!!! - Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

Obviously my bias towards Paul Simon, Sailboats, Peter Gabriel, loafers, Ivy League Ed, and African drums means that this album could be in no other place than first for my albums of the year. To some this may be a cop-out, but this album was almost perfect and it plays just as great in the club as it does on your ipod in Sheep's Meadow. If you get any album this year make it Vampire Weekend.

Sickest Cut: Walcott

Sickest albums???? WHOASICK!!!

Redial is SICK

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 14:14:00 +0000

As usual, leave it to the aussies to bring some of the dopest electro pop of the year. First it was Empire of The Sun, then Ladyhawke, now Redial is stepping to the plate with some BANGIN tracks for your dancing hips. There is a little bit of MSTRKRFT, DP, and Justice sprinkled in, but the tracks are still fresh in their own right. Get a few below, and dont sleep even though his cover art is pretty terry cloth.

Redial - Valkyrie

Redial - Revolver

Redial - Valve

Aussie Electro....always sick.

Jackie Chain!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (SD) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:30:00 +0000

The people wanted it so here it is. Jackie Chain's newest mixtape. This record is put heat. No joke, do not sleep on these crazy guys from 'Bama. Chain could be the next Paul Wall, meaning, a dope rapper who is racially out of place amongst his southern rap counter-parts. Jackie Chain!!!

PLUS

Equals
Get the mixtape Here

Jackie Chain.... WHOA SICK!!!
