sqzmylmns.


sure we all know mexicans are good at making chorizo tortas. we know they host a mean spring break vacation. maybe you didn't know that mexico is also cultivating a crazy dance music scene.

sqzmylmns (pronounced 'squeeze my lemons') are just one new example of mexicans making good music. saul q and kid wonder hail from my hometown of san diego, which tends to fly under the radar. so i'm excited to hear something exciting coming out of there. i love that the tracks aren't just distorted or just filtered or just heavily sampled....they mix it all up into a nice batch of freshly squeezed lemonade.......*sip*....AHHHHH.

sqzmylmns - oakland
sqzmylmns - run

this is their own remix of their newest track. determined to keep it fresh and change things up, they added real instruments over the top which is probably a good idea in preparation for the backlash against all the laptop producers.

sqzmylmns - thieves (kidwonder is disc-o remix)


so it's time for a little indulgence. now i've never quite been a fan of mashups, but i heard these two i couldn't resist posting. maybe it was the combination of the two songs in each track or the fact that i love both songs, no matter how played out they are.

crookers vs khia - my neck my knobb (sqzmylmns smashup)

don rimini vs terror squad - let me lean back up (sqzmylmns smashup)

Props is definitely due... It's dope that someone is finally doing quality electro in San Diego. Nice work Fellas --- We're proud of you!! (and for the record, chorizo is legit, but SOYRIZO is where it's really at with black beans, of course)

That is some rancid chorizo.
