The semi-secretive super group known as Chauffeur came through The Levi’s®/FADER Fort
NYC last Saturday looking like The Specials, all done up in tailored suits and sharp collars and
ready to pump out some mellow dance music. Due to flight schedules and the fact that they have
but one song, however, they only played for like eight minutes. What an eight minutes though!
Sheila E cover HELLOOOO. The one song that is theirs, it turns out, is a special ditty cooked up
for Gucci’s Icon-Temporary pop-up stores as they unveil the boat-sneaker designed by Mr
Ronson himself, so prepare to feel like spending a lot of money as you listen to this. Ronson has
that kind of mind power.

This CHARMING MIXTAPE
Earlier I was kinda disappointed in my current playlist. Then like a meteor this mixtape slammed into my bedroom window destroying most of my personal belongings, shattering my world and giving me a fresh start on life...Ok maybe that didn't happen but THIS MIXTAPE is so f*cking crazy. You want to know how I know it's good. Well, it's 1:47 a.m. and I have work tomorrow. My sole reason for staying up is to listen to this entire mixtape. I want to be cognizant and fully engaged in this exhilarating listening experience. Theophilus London, I must admit I slept on him for some months now. I'm kicking myself in the ass because a few weeks ago I was desperately looking for music just like this and I gave up on my search. It's electric & savage but soft and milky @ the same time. It's hip but not quite ster, it's hop but no where near pop. I think it'll be the soundtrack for the next three weeks of my life. If you don't have this mixtape stashed somewhere download it above.
Check out Theophilus London on Myspace & Vimeo.
My track of choice is definitely: AQUAMILITA (& COLD PILLOW)
