The Weeknd...

I've had the "House Of Balloons" mixtape on constant rotation ever since Yasmin put me on to them/him last month...

Nicki Minaj "Your Love (Silent Dust Remix)" (Video)

Just spotted this over at Rock The Dub. I was never a fan of the original version of "Your Love"; that Annie Lennox sample really got on my nerves...and just when I thought it'd be near impossible to make a decent remix, Silent Dust (aka Hobzee & Zyon Base) come through with this little gem.

I love how through the use of minimal drums, a few guitar samples, and some lush synths, they've added a more emotive feeling to the track. According to Khal they also produce D&B, and have a debut album due for release on Soul:R, which I'm looking forward to checking out.

*sigh* If only that ass was real....

Sneaker Pimps "6 Underground" (Music Video)

So I'm sat at home watching The Saint on ITV2, and this comes on in the background during one of the scenes. I forgot how dope this track was....

As for the movie, it wasn't the best in the world (given the fact that I'm fan of the original 60's TV show starring Roger Moore, so I'm going to be biased). They reinvented Simon Templar as a professional thief, and threw in some crazy plot involving double-crossing Russian businessman and cold-fusion technology...Plus a couple of explosions too. That's Hollywood for you....
