Preparations have begun for Trailerpark Festival 2010. Palms Out will be in attendance, and will be covering all the great acts – like Caribou, Prinzhorn Dance School, Renaissance Man, Round Table Knights, Toro Y Moi, Wareika, Tomboy & Fredski, 2000F & JG, DJ Hell, myself (Boody B) and many more!
The festival area at Copenhagen Skatepark is already beginning to look gorgeous! Many talented artists are involved in beautifying the area- they are hard at work and it looks like they won’t disappoint! Check out their progress as of yesterday:
Scion A/V and Sound Pellegrino have put together a really stellar compilation. The sound is pretty diverse, from banger to klezmer. Proudly, it features a remix from our very own LOL Boys.
First introduced to us by the lovely Brandon Sek of happyplease.us (formerly Curb Crawlers), Sean Roman made a real impression on us this past February with his soul splashed house hit “Lick.” Now the Ontario based artist is back with “What To Do”, a steady summer jam filled with encouraging vocal loops that tickle just below the tan line.
Doctor Illingsworth is a hidden gem in the rough that is Detroit. It’s not often Detroit produces an artist that innately heads towards that garagey, funky, future-sound vibe – but Doc does. His foundation is strong and I’m excited to see what he does in the future.
Doc did a “beat a week” a while back and produced, “Not Really Fried,” my favorite track of his. Check it out below and make sure to peep the rest of his tracks on his SoundCloud page.
The senses tell us that Detroit is changing, and that change is in the air – sweet vibrations of sound. We have a fair number of new producers coming out of Detroit, and even our very own Melt/POS017 (coming soon) was pressed in Detroit at Archer Records.
Today, I want to share with you some new music from Phil Agosta. We’ve got a classic love affair with Inner City melded with modern production. I heard this track at DEMF and it had the floor moving. Even Kevin Saunderson himself is giving it high praise. You just can’t beat that. Tribute to Detroit is out July 20th on KGBeats.
Perfect summer mix from the homie Brenmar. In this offering he carefully stitches together RnB, Hip Hop, and eclectic “club music for the present” with plenty of his own personal blends and touches. The highlight for me definitely has got to be the NGUZUNGUZU collab track. Instant bangor status. Don’t sleep.

Our very own B.Rich has been causing quite a stir with his alter-ego: Kastle.
He just sent over a much demanded track “Camera Phone” – a hoover laced, vocoder dripping steamer- as well as his newest remix for UK’s Example – a bassy hip hop bumper – out on Ministry of Sound. Not one to be at all stingy, home boy also sent over a very very solid funky mix for Martin Buttrich. Look out for his debut EP – out soon on Starkey & Dev79′s Seclusiasis imprint.
Today we got sent a mixtape that deserved a little attention. It came via carrier pigeon, covered in coal and reeking of Yorkshire Pudding. At first we were confused, but then it all became clear; this was a mix from someone from up NORTH. Apparently that’s how it goes down up there. Anyway, tenuous stereotypes aside; this is a top quality mix from Nockall which takes a trip through all that is happening right now in the world of house, and some of the most prolific labels and producers in the game at the minute. Taking in people like Camel, Sebastian Leger and Ramon Tapia as well as Mowgli and Teki Latex; Nockers shows a great ear for a tune – which comes as no surprise when you know that he is head honcho of promo taste-makers Your Army. Go check him out, but be sure to carry some sort of translation dictionary.
It’s pretty much a nailed on fact that by now you’ll know all about Fatboy Slim‘s collaboration with Cheap Thrills label head and all-around busy chap Hervé. It’s called Machines Can Do The Work and it’s a cacophony of acid licks, weird old school rave and a sample from which the track name stems. It’s been pretty big already upon its release on Skint, and the remix EP is soon to follow. The Supabeatz mix which we posted a while ago had to be taken down, but we make it up for you all now with the ever dependable Reset! remix; the guys seem to have taken a step up with this one and added a dancefloor destroying bassline to go with their ever-present ‘turbofunk’ structuring! Big big things, check it! Also, Josh asked us to let you guys know about the Cheap Thrills mailing list – and the fact that if you sign up to it you can get your mitts on an exclusive 13 track mixtape featuring a whole bunch of label stuff mixed by the man himself. Worth a peek too! Get in on the act HERE.
So here at Palms Out we’re pretty big on bigging up those big names that weren’t so big when we bigged them up back in the old days. It seems obvious here to use a previously aforementioned adjective to describe the Italian collective who we’ve supported since way back when, but we’re going to avoid it. Mainly because they’ve actually outgrown that term now and soon will be categorised as ‘massive’. We can hardly wait. With huge remixes for Cassius, Fenech Soler and Alex Metric all firmly under their belt, they have funk inspired reworkings of Fatboy Slim & Herve, Crookers and Lee Mortimer & Foamo ready to unleash. All of which are guaranteed to be huge this summer! To celebrate their new found glory; we’re giving away an exclusive new remix, an older gem and a brand new mixtape – grab them all!

The line up is outrageous and the festival is a truly unique experience. It takes place all over the city for the next 4 days – on the streets, in clubs, bars, restaurants, venues, parks – each day dedicated to a different neighborhood of the city. If you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to come check it out.
A couple of highlights I will most certainly will be seen at are Thursday’s Red Bull Music Academy Radio on the Floor @ Korsgadehallen, with performances from Palms Out favorites, Kode 9, J-Wow (of Buraka Som Sistema) as well as Madlib(!!!), and J.Rocc (of the Beat Junkies) – and the YO FOK party on Friday in Vesterbro, featuring more Palms Out favs, Douster, Uproot Andy, Schlachtofbronx, Beardyman, El Remolon, & Copyflex.
But that’s just a small slice of the ENORMOUS lineup which also includes Palms Out artists, Baba Black & Fagget Fairys (Thursday’s party on Blågårdsplads) as well as names like Ramadanman, Booka Shade, Mock & Toof, Simian Mobile Disco, Gus Gus, Giana Factory, Djuma Soundsystem, Michael Mayer, Kasper Bjørke, Sunny Beach Happy Slap Mardi Gras, and literally 100 more.
Palms Out is extremely proud to announce the release of Dubbel Dutch‘s long awaited second Ep – Throwback. The three song original release has been heralded by DJs across the globe for the last couple of months, and now finally, this intrepid release has finally seen the light of day. It was recently featured as Sinden’s pick of the month in DJ Mag with a brilliant review:
“Texas’s Dubbel Dutch had better brace himself for a big year because this release should propel this promising DJ/producer to some crazy new heights. Processing the mutant sounds of UK funky, the grey areas of future garage and house with bass, Dubbel has successfully turned them all on their head and created his own unique spin. ‘Throwback‘ is beautifully funky with its Baltimore club-style drums rolling straight from the first bar. A deep sub b-line and edited diva vocals entice before hitting you with the ultimate payoff. The flip, ‘Deep Underground‘, is more synth driven – equally futuristic and amazing. 5 Stars. ”
Here’s what some people have been saying about Throwback EP:
Bok Bok: “I can’t stop playing Deep Underground, massivest tune right now!!!”
Kingdom: “The mixing and compression on Throwback are so nice. Chopped diva vocals and clean sub-bass. I love the drifting cool-down moment in this track too, and when the breakbeat kicks back in, you know you need to brace yourself for a huge drop. Love it!!”
DJ Rupture: “Deep Underground combines the catchy familiarity of an instant anthem with real nice contemporary production flourishes that put it squarely in nostalgia-free 2010. Plus, good snare placement. Big tune!”
Drop The Lime: “This is a gigantic release. I love the oldschool jungle vibes brought in with a dubstep slam! I will definitely drop this in sets. Really feeling “Fool In You”. HUGE one!”
Julio Bashmore: “Big track, Big!”
Egyptrixx: “My favorite release from Marc so far, extremely innovative. Deep underground is a total anthem.”"
Baobinga: “Deep Underground sounding nice!”

AC Slater: “Amazing release, really deep and bassy, sounding both classic and fresh. Will definitely be playing these.”
