Addison Groove: "Bad Things" [feat. Spank Rock]

I'm all about electronic artists working blue, primarily because I hope it will further the less adventurous, far more boring crunk's obsolescence. Where Addison Groove and Spank Rock get it right is in keeping the beats first and foremost, whereas guys like Lil John and Soula Boy hit autopilot on the bass and just rattle off some shit about bitches getting freaky on the dance floor... it's really 2 Live Crew without the humor value, isn't it?

Win Win: "Pop a Gumball"

When Spank Rock producer XXXchange fired up his Win Win project late last year he didn't fly far from the coop. "Pop a Gumball" - finally getting an official video - has the same minimalist, propulsive danceability that XXXchange's other work (remix and otherwise) is known for. Further flexing his name drop muscle, XXXchange pulls Andrew WK, Spank Rock and Chavez's Matt Sweeney into his sinister vibes on this clip.
