Today’s Playlist: A Little Bit Of Everything

I am currently looking for a writer for ThoseDamnKidz.com. One paragraph a day, 6 days a week, about the songs and artists in the playlist. This would be a long term relationship and after a time could become a partnership. Here is an example of the kind of paragraph I’m looking for (though obviously better written):

“Another Friday another week in the books, time to kick back and have a little fun. First up we have Bora’s melodic “Crush”, DROELOE blasts us with his new track “Moonwalk Mike”, Young Luxembourg beautifully remixes Les Anticipateurs’ “OUIN” and Fools Gold Records’ Shash’U shows us why Fools Gold is one of the most innovative labels around on his remix of Giraffage’s “Be With You”. We’re keeping the energy levels up with Candidat’s flowing remix of Dim Sum’s “High Love”, Laquell and Domino squad up on “Feel Me” and San Francisco group Niteppl walk us through the “Shadows” of their lives. If you’re looking for a weekend jump off then look no further than Airia’s new jam “Atmosphere”, Salute jooks it hard on “Castle (Magic)” and Panda Funk Records’ Whyel get’s freaky on our last joint “What You Say” with iE-z. Peace.”

You can see it’s just a sentence or so about each song and artist (song style or genre, song description, maybe where the artist is from, what record label, if we’ve featured them before, etc.) but since it’s so few sentences it is very easy to become repetitive and this is why I’m looking for a creative writer who can make a blog style this simple and short really shine every single post. Only serious interest, someone with a passion for all types of music, a good writer and who is willing to commit and dedicate time in their life to creating and growing a successful music site over a long period of time. Please contact us at [email protected]. Have a good one, lates.

Roy Wood$ / Lege Kale, Elderbrook, Penthouse Penthouse & Bobby Saint, Roy Wood$, Taoist w Michael Jackson & Sean Price, Kehlani x Ambré / Lux Impala, MC Pedrinho & DJ R7 x Otik & Mutual Friend, Prince Fox, Sash_S & Phil Phauler, Roses / SteLouse

Today’s Playlist: R&B, Electronic, Smooth Sounds, Pop

I just love some good r&b sooooooooo much. First up we’ve got Lege Kale’s monster remix of new boy Row Wood$’ “All Of You”, Elderbook’s passion filled track “Travel Slow”, LA group Penthouse Penthouse team up with Bobby Saint for “69′ Camaro” and Roy Wood$ shows us what he can do on his own on “Get You Good”. I had to include a little something to Sean Price and I found the perfect track by Taoist, “Mike Jackson, Sean Price, & Company Appreciation”, Lux.Impala gives us his take on the Kehlani & Ambré track “Preach”, which we shared a few weeks ago, and MC Pedrinho teams up with the Carioca crew for “Witness Do Pau”. Bringing us home Prince Fox smooths it out on “Wait Until Tomorrow”, Sash_S & Phil Phauler make a sleezy banger on their original mix “Falling” and SteLouse continue to drop some huge tracks with their remix Rozes’ “R U Mine”. Lates.

Roots Manuva, Rebstar, M!NT, Stezo, Rappcats, Golden Rules, Bones & Beeker, Son Little, Bryson Tiller, Rocky Church

Today’s Playlist: Hip-Hop & Some R&B

Blasting us off is Roots Manuva out of England and his new track “One Thing”, Rebstar gets you hype for the week on “So What” and M!NT destroys his new Drake remix “Energia”. Then it’s time to explore some more of the old school sound with Stezo’s “Police Story”, Rappcats “Trouble Knows Me” and Lex Records’ own Golden Rules gets funky on “Down South Boogie”. The last few tracks are a little more chilled out with the soulful “Lupine” by Bones & Beeker, Son Little’s retro style “Lay Down”, Bryson Tiller’s “Just Another Interlude” and Rocky Church drops “There’s Something”, the kind of bubbly track that’ll be stuck in your head all week. Peace.
