purple crush: madonna cover.

dl: PURPLE CRUSH - Physical Attraction (Madonna cover) (YSI)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I mentioned last month how excited I was for Purple Crush's contribution to Buffetlibre's REWIND '80s cover/remix project, and now it is finally here. Not much to say here, except that Isla and Jared do not disappoint with this one. Compare to the original Madonna track, complete with a gyrating dude in a wifebeater and boxers. Later on tonight, I may be dancing in my underwear to the Purple Crush version. But you can't watch that.

rewind project: purple crush & anoraak.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been seeing that Database edit of George Benson's "Turn Your Love Around" quite a bit on the blogs. While I'm excited about REWIND, Buffetlibre's '80s cover and remix project, I didn't really get into this contribution. So why, you ask, am I excited about this project? Three words, two groups: Anoraak, Purple Crush.

I wrote about Anoraak a while back, praising their laid-back electro tune "The Wizzard". Having heard quite a bit more from them since then, I've fallen deeper in love. Whether they're doing a remix or cover, I'm sure it'll have me dancing in my deskchair (if not, on it).

Purple Crush? Well Isla just embodies the 1980s with her flawless dance moves and Kate Bush-covering self. And did I mention her dance moves? Serious. Lee. I was in awe of her performance at the March 20th Palms Out Sounds party (@ Luna Lounge, Brooklyn). She's a one-woman '80s party!

Other artists included on REWIND include: Dragonette, Sidechains, The Toxic Avenger, Culture Prophet, Grum, Mendetz, ER2, The Amplid, Moulinex, RAC, Russ Chimes, UMYO, Hello Tokyo, CFCF, Fisk vs. Blende, Oh Snap!, Xinobi, The Shoes, CSK OK, Keenhouse, Cryptonites, Adventure Kid, !Trash Yourself, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Paper Scissors, Tknik, Black Dominoes, Vitamins For You, Computer Club, Glitch Bitch, South Central, Clash The Disko Kids, Lillica Libertine, Daroc, Pink Skull, Damage, Beesmunt Soundsystem, Royal Rumble, Mat Payne, Loud Pipes, We Are Terrorists, Emotiquon, Night Facilities, and Tempest Disco.

BLOGGER UPDATE: With a little spying, it appears that Purple Crush will be covering Madonna.

GET PUMPED!!

purple crush: air jared mix + kate bush cover.

PURPLE CRUSH is a Brooklyn duo composed of Isla Jones Cheadle and DJ Air Jared. You may remember them from their contribution to the Yo Majesty remix contest. You may be familiar with their tune "Shopping on the Dancefloor". No? Not ringing a bell?

Well it's never too late to learn. On Welcome 2 Emo-Club, their latest EP, the duo pushes out six synthy '80s-influenced jams that may change your life more than bedazzlers did (or still do). Gorilla Vs. Bear and fluo kids recently posted a huge highlight of the album, a driving party-ready remake of Kate Bush's 1985 hit song "Running Up The Hill". Thanks to the challenge from GVB's Chris, I am now running around my room doing interpretative bow and arrow dances to this song. Don't laugh. Once you hear it, you might not be able to resist doing the same. And you know you wish you could move like Kate Bush.

If "Running Up The Hill" doesn't get you going, perhaps Air Jared's remix of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" will. You may have the urge to start dry-humping your keyboard. Perhaps.

BLOGWATCH: Nah Right brings us three new tracks from Lupe Fiasco. Berkeley Place tells us that Ben Gibbard apparently did Neil Young and Nirvana (probably at the same time). Pitchfork shouts the news that the upcoming album by the Go! Team will feature Rappers Delight Club, aka those rapping kids I posted about that one time.
