Occasionally the 10 block radius actually manages to come up with something fresh enough to be psyched about, even on a school night. So, when Ris Richards ( formerly of DC local superhero band Q and Not U) got in touch with us about a (at this point sort of) new dance night him and his new project Bullets is throwing down every first Thursday at DC9 (which means this Thursday the 3rd) we jumped at the chance to revv it up a little. (bcse we are the revving kind) Rounding out the Bullets are Rah and Dave Nada, who after many years of playing in hardcore bands himself, in the last few months has (and DC should be grateful for this) started spending signifantly more time in the nation’s capital (appearing everywhere from Vegetate Wednesdays to Wonderland Ballroom to Starfkr to Room Service to Bliss) in addition to his Baltimore TaxLo residence.

What they do, they do well (some may even say best in the city), and so to mentally prep you for their unique mix of funk/dancehall/r’n'b/hip-hop/baltimore club/and just plain dance we figured, we’d hit them up for some exclusive mix downloads for all of you to enjoy and get ready to.

exclusively for BYT and a wonderful way to inaugurate our new (and soon to be regular) downloads section for the new site:

Santogold – “Creator” (Nada rmx)

Make-Up vs Thomas Bangalter – “Svenonius Scratch” (Nada rmx)

Crime Mobb – “Stilettos” (Bullets rmx)

Spankrock – “Bump” (Nada rmx)

T.I. – “Top Back” (Bullets rmx)

E-40 vs The Knife – “Tell Me When To Go” (Bullets Mantronix mix)

and as tho that was not enough, after last month’s DJ Dredd, this month Bullets have enlisted Tabbi Boney, DC’s currently most buzzed about rap artist (check out “The Pocket” on everything from MTV to…) to ensure that this Thursday at DC9 is one good time moment after another.
