    This just played on the oh-so-ace-and-oh-so-hipster @NTSLive. Hip hop how it should be.

    First Choice vs Lovebirds - Lovebird Lovethang (Jamie Bull Mash-up Re-edit)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 7,587 plays

    I’m (Pieter) going up to Manchester tomorrow for The Warehouse Project. Definitely, for me, the best line-up of the year put together by Simian Mobile Disco - Chic, Jeff Mills, Feel My Bicep, Cutloose, & among others friend of the blog Will Tramp!

    I was struggling to think of a track to sum-it-all-up when I remembered this gem from Jamie Bull. Hope you enjoy, if you’re there - see you at the front!

    Notorious BIG - Party And Bullshit
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 70 plays

    Had these lyrics stuck on some looped earworm setting for the past 3.46 hours. 

    ”..I used to have the trey-deuce, And the deuce-deuce in my bubblegoose…”

    I had to know what they mean.

    After some intensive internet forum research I now feel like an OG*:

    Biggie had a deuce deuce and a trey deuce; (.22- and .32-caliber handguns), which he concealed in his puffy down jacket (the bubblegoose).

    Listened to this a couple of times yesterday and it really reminded me of Sunday nights at Aficianado. Deep bliss.
