The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77

Come and get it! New Beetroots EP and an amazing video to boot. Alright, alright, I do realize that I just posted about an electro crew, one that brought me back to fond memories of a Bloody Beetroots track no less, and yes I do realize that I just started this thing and should probably not focus too hardcore on only the electronic side of the hipster kingdom, but it is Ultra Festival weekend and the scene is buzzing. So thats what your gonna get whether you like it or not. Not to mention, I already feel as if I'm late to the blogging game and this gives me a great chance to rehash a very important player in the electro arena.

As you may or may not know, the Bloody Beetroots, comprised of Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo and DJ Tommy Tea, have been lighting up blogs all over the place for the past couple years and really thats no surprise if you've ever given them the chance to woo you with their killer beats and saturated hooks. Even with the recent release of their long awaited LP, Romborama this past fall, it seems that the guys really have no intentions of slowing their momentum. With numerous EP releases and new side projects, the Beetroots have managed to stay fresh in our minds, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

In referring to new side projects, that brings me to the topic of the Beetroots' newest incarnation known as Death Crew 77, which seems to promise much of what we are familiar with from Dim Mak's golden boys, while allowing the group to branch in a somewhat different direction and sound. Though distinctions may be hard to pick up on, the crew has added a third Beetroot by the name of Edward Grinch as their live performance drummer. With this new manifestation, Bob Rifo is also said to play more of an instrumental and vocal role during shows as well. With that check out their new video for "Domino" and decide for yourself if the name change was really a necessary move.

Night Kids

To launch Blog-Age Hipster, I'd just like to start off with a test post of sorts. Still just trying to figure things out. I do however have a track to highlight right off the bat. I found this BAH approved track on a great blog called Trashbags Kids and it itself inspired me to create this thing and share it with other electro bangin', indie lovin', hipsters out there in cyberspace. So I guess you know who to blame if you already can't stand reading it.

Night Kids is a group of 20 somethings from the New York club scene who started off DJing and decided to take things to the next level and produce their own music. If your like me, you like your electro hard, and thats exactly what Night Kids delivers. To date they've only released one track of their own, but its more than enough to raise an eyebrow of any true lover of the genre. To make a comparison only for the sake of doing so, the happy yet heavy track brings back memories of a favorite Beetroots track of mine, I Love the Bloody Beetroots, though it most definitely stands well on its own. The group hopes to drop their first LP this summer and plans to perform weekly at their venue of choice in NYC, Happy Ending. Take a listen, you won't regret!
