Haha as if the original video for Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs‘ “Garden” wasn’t hipster enough already, TEED definitely has completely and utterly hiked up the ▲ levels for this version. It’s pretty weird. Although it’s really not any more bizarre than my tumblr.

Needless to say, it doesn’t make me ANY LESS OBSESSED with the guy. Or this track.

In fact this track is so amazingly ahhhhhhhmazing, that TEED has decided to re-release “Garden!” No doubt much due to the fact that the track didn’t receive the attention it so unbelievably deserved the first time around. Included on the “Garden EP” along with the original track that features the lovely vocals [I could literally immerse my body in] from Luisa of Lulu & The Lampshades, will be a host of accompanying remixes from SOUL CLAP, JOE GODDARD (of Hot Chip), HACKMAN and MYNC, to fully round out (and legitimize) the package.

A treat indeed.

TEED released the first remix off his forthcoming EP (due out October 2nd on Polydor Records) from JOE GODDARD about 2 weeks ago on his Soundcloud.

However, personally I am most looking forward to the ‘Like it’s ’97′ reflip from self-proclaimed “Outerspacers” (or Boston’rs, depending on the limits of your imagination) – from the groove house duo SOUL CLAP.

After being consumed with curiosity, which was immediately followed by some pretty comprehensive interweb hunting, I’ve found a sample of SOUL CLAP‘s “Garden“ remix, provided below:

Clap your hands, it’s time to get down and F-U-N-K-Y!
Ed Banger’s Breakbot has shimmy’d this in our direction and it’s positively boogieworthy. Bright synths, plucking bass, and Ruckazoid’s neo-Michael-esque vocals make this groovy jive a stellar, beneath-the-sparkly-disco-ball-and-all-night-long little number. Wave goodbye to shufflin’ this track is ALL about the disco. Can ya dig it?

Editor’s Note: I decided to send our intern by himself on his first adventure to our favorite hipster haunt EL DORADO COCKTAIL LOUNGE. The same night 12th Planet was going to be playing a surprise set. In other words, on an evening of sheer, unrelenting mayhem. Knowing full well the magnitude of chaos and energy inside El D during DUB DORADO, it potentially could have been dangerous. However, because I was en route to Miami for ULTRA while this momentous special event was taking place, I had to send someone to witness report on the madness and sheer aural magic that was 12th Planet’s surprise debut at DUB DORADO at EL DORADO in San Diego. I’m just really hoping I don’t receive an angry call from his mother about this.

Got anotha little selection here! And you know they’re good. Let’s just say that college has been a little drab for the most part. I didn’t rush, I hardly ever party, I just wasn’t getting the satisfaction I craved. So I knew I needed to change things a little to mix it up. Not sure where to go, I pursued an internship with www.TheMixster.com, unaware where it would take me. I can honestly say it has NOT taken me where I anticipated. It’s taken me farther.

Expecting to find the grimy, dirty culture I was surprised at how much San Diego feels like a home. When it was suggested I go to some cocktail lounge on 11th avenue I’d never heard of, I figured I was just being steered to another small bar where the sports on the TV are the most exciting thing in the place. Instead I found a family. A bar crowded from wall-to-wall with people who knew each other, and were there to honestly enjoy the beats being thumped out of all the stacks of JBL’s. Inspired by my eye-opening week, where I experienced my first time at El Dorado (the shit), and was introduced to the sounds of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, AND made a few new friends here and there, I’m quite proud to say these tunes will always bring me back to my EL DORADO DAYS!!!! So without further adieu, let’s listen to some music.

Thanks to UCSD’s AS Concert & Events board, we are downright delighted to be holding an *exclusive giveaway* for one pair of tickets to The Hood Internet show at The Loft (9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla 92092)– going down February 22nd, 2011!

Sign up to win a free pair of tickets here!—>http://app.championsound.com/2958/events/hood-internet-ticket-giveaway

The winner will be chosen by our random raffle system and announced in our weekly newsletter  on Monday 2/21!

If Kanye West had a filthy love child with the entire lot of LCD Soundsystem, its offspring would be the duo known as The Hood Internet! Based straight out of the Chi (that’s Chicago for those of you unfamiliar with hip-hop vernacular), The Hood Internet brings forth clever-danceworthy mash-ups that tug at the hearts of indie kids, but keep the hip-hop lovers’ heads bobbing and grooving along to sick beats.

The masterminds behind The Hood Internet are Aaron Brink (aka ABX) and Steve Reidell (aka STV SLV). After having been in a band that they describe as “arty pop,” both Brink and Reidell began producing beats for their rapper friends. The duo later transitioned into creating mash-ups and began posting their creations regularly to their blog – which was mostly intended for themselves and their friends. Word spread of their unique blend of hip hop and indie rock throughout the blog world, and soon the duo was in demand in venues as far away as Korea! Goes to show you that pure talent + the internet = gold!

DO NOT MISS this chance to see The Hood Internet right here in San Diego, February 22nd at The Loft (at UCSD)!! These dudes are multi-talented, and last I heard, they still have day jobs! Think they’re probably running out of sick days at this point so definitely be sure to catch them while they are on tour NOW!!

To get you in the Hood mood, check out these tracks I am currently digging: “Fuck The Club Up x Sleigh Bells x Salem” seriously is self-explanatory! It’s fist-pumping in ways that will get you trouble!

Waka Flocka Flame x The Hood Internet – Fuck The Club Up x Sleigh Bells x Salem by hoodinternet

“Sprawl of Glass” contains no hip-hop but “Heart of Glass” is a classic that appeals to all audiences. The Hood Internet beautifully mixes the track with Arcade Fire’s “Sprawl II” – and let me tell you, my jaw dropped at the perfect relationship between the two songs.
