First, watch this…
Now, apparently British humour doesn’t translate in Spanish very well. The Spaniards have taken great offense to this video and the duo have been issued death threats! They’ve even been accused of being racists on a Spanish socialist forum!
I don’t know about you… but I LOL’d!!
Yeah, this has been floating around for a while now… but I just saw it, so 
From the MTV Blog:
After running their hometown of Memphis for years and taking having their fair share of Adventures In Hollywood, Three 6 Mafia has now packed up their traveling roadshow and moved it to Las Vegas.
The reason for this Sin City excursion? Their video for the first single from their new album, Laws of Power, “Feel It,” featuring Sean Kingston and Tiesto.
The presence of these two guests is felt immediately, with the Tiesto-produced trance-rap track pulsing underneath Kingston’s auto-tuned demands that the DJ turns the music up.
It’s like Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, minus the “fear” and the “loathing.” Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves tremendously, with Newey documenting it all with Hype-Williams-levels of gloss liberally applied.
FYI: the song features a verse from Sunshine State rapper Flo Rida, though he does not appear in the vid. Laws of Power is due out at the end of March.
And you know…? I like this tune. Yeah… I like a Tiësto tune… hell is freezing as I type…
CHECK THE VIDEO:
Toronto legend Marcus Visionary has finally completed his long awaited album “The Carib LP”! Due to be released on Liondub International, this diverse LP will be sure launch this versatile artist, DJ and producer into the international limelight… more so then he already is!

Who Are Bill Vega & New Decade?
Bill Vega & New Decade have been involved with Dance music since 1991. Their Essex based label ‘Out Of Romford’ was set up at the height of the rave scene in early 1992 and was responsible for massive rave anthems such as ‘Get The Message’, ‘Wonderful Experiences’ and early tracks from Andy C as Desired State.
In 2005 they completed a remix for Old Skool legends ‘Orca’ which was released on Warehouse Wax and was scheduled to be their last ever track!…
But 2009 saw the pair reunite and sign to American breaks label Downbeat. Their first release in October of ‘09 was a massive 5 track comeback EP that includes the tracks Kaos Control, Soldier’s Angel, Age Of Freedom, Fear Of Darkness (601 remix) and Sonic Thunder (C83 remix). Most of the tracks had already had early exposure on Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1 and are building momentum with all the top players.

Shocking and Exciting all rolled into one. Nuschool Breaks figurehead Rennie Pilgrem has all but disappeared off the radar as of late, but then… as expected… BAM!
Change the game again, Rennie!! Lead the charge!
New double EP on it’s way in mid-March.
READ THIS:
This double EP represents a bit of a musical departure for Mr Pilgrem. Increasingly bored with making music with nasty noises, he has firmly rediscovered his love of funk and this is the first of a musical series that is all about the good groove regardless of tempo (but created in a modern context). This increasingly talked-about ‘new genre’ has also become known as Nu Funk. (See the forthcoming edition of iDJ and Tillate for features).
‘Dance With Me’ is a collaboration with Australian singer Arianne Shreiber from the cult band Icon. They met after she provided backing vocals for Rennie’s collaboration with Sopranos theme tune writer Larry Love (which is on this EP in dub form as 555). There are real horns arranged by Canadian sax legend Andrew Spence (Hold On/555). Guitar from William ‘Hustle’ South, plus a whole lot of grooviness. There is also a rare dub version of Rennie’s much requested track with Chickaboo ‘Celebrity‘
Rennie is also pursuing a similar musical direction as one half of Bush Doctors with Jem Stone from Finger Lickin’. Their first release was played right across the DJ spectrum. Rennie is currently hard at work scoring his first feature film ‘The Fix’ (he acts in it also) and writing music for TV. He is just back from a very successful Tour of Australia and New Zealand where the Nu Funk sound wowed crowds from Perth to Auckland.
