We've Moved!

Hello, hello!

The DJ BK Lounge has moved to a newer and better place! If you haven't heard, I've changed my name from DJ BK to Edit Undo. Please find me on facebook and like my page in order to keep posted on news, updates, music and other shenanigans.

I encourage everyone to come check out my new site. The blog can specifically be found here. Thank you for your support!

Jack Sparrow

Lonely Island's latest album, Turtleneck & Chain, was released today. Check out their latest video release, featuring none other than Michael Bolton.

Words I Never Said

Lupe unsurprisingly kills it again with a great video.

I'll Be There

It's almost that time when it's actually enjoyable to step outside again. It's almost the time when the sun begins to shine, an enveloping warmth surrounds you and the welcoming cool wind blows at all the right times. It's almost the time to kick out the summer playlists and listen to the laid back jams that just feel summery.

To celebrate the arrive (and hopefully permanence) of nice weather, I leave you today with a song to capture the mood and feel of spring. You can expect plenty more of this music as the weather brings out the best in everything. Thanks for this one Mac.

NY NY

Sorry for the shortage of posts everyone. The world should know this B.o.B track, so be sure to get your hands on this one. This guy is on fire.

Things of note

Things that I care to note:

• Lupe Fiasco's album, "Lasers," is out. I will not be posting any music from it. You should buy it. If there's a bad song on it, I can't find it.
• Xaphoon Jones is releasing a new mixtape, due to drop April 1st.
• 5 years later, Justin Timberlake is finally getting back to recording music, this summer.
• Willow Smith has released a new single, "21st Century Girl." It features some Ke$ha sing-talk break downs, aka it's a step in the wrong direction.
• In a few weeks, I'll be seeing Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, Nikki Minaj, Travis Barker, Chiddy Bang and Pretty Lights in concerts. Reviews of that to come in the near future.
• I've completed about 23 minutes of new music for my next mixtape. Look for that at the beginning of summer. 
• I'll leave with you an old jam that has found its way back onto my rotation as of late.
• Download here: Moby Feat. Gwen Stefani - Southside
• Check out the video below:

Jake and Amir (and Hoodie Allen)

If you don't know about Collegehumor's series "Jake and Amir," go educate yourself right now. Hoodie Allen is their latest feature to drop in. Check it out.

I Need a Doctor

Some great visuals to match some introspective Eminem-Dre lyrics with an unbelievable hook by Skylar Grey (see Lupe Fiasco's "Words I Never Said," Skylar Grey is killing it).

I dig it. Ignore the product placement in this video and enjoy.

Wake Up

In honor of Arcade Fire winning best album of the year at the grammys last week, why not feature one of their classics?

Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Algorithms

I'm behind on this one but Milkman, a very talented mash up artist who I believe produces albums that go head-to-head with Girl Talk, has released another mixtape. This mixtape, Algorithms, can be copped over on his website here.

Get on it, and get on his other two albums, "Circle of Fifths" and "Lactose and THC," if you haven't already.


...guess I might as well clarify now, yes, there will be samples in my upcoming mixtape that are in this album. I've already heard several. I'm not going to go back and change things because another artist used the same samples. Many times, I enjoy listening to multiple mash up artists use the same sample; the differences in uses accentuate creativity even further in some cases.

Smooth Criminal

Who said classical instruments are boring?

Dreams Up

A little behind on the posting of this one, but some new(ish) Hoodie Allen coming at you. This kid is my favorite of the upcoming; keep a look out for this kid.

 

Hoodie Allen - Dreams Up

Just taking a quick look back here, let's see one of the last times someone blew up and followers of this blog were way ahead of the curve.

The Cataracs mixtape, which featured the collaboration with Far East Movement, "Like a G6" was posted on February 26th. That was featured roughly 6 months before it hit radio. You heard it here first! 

Hoodie Allen...remember the name.

Can a Drummer Get Some?

Travis Barker is back, collaborating with all sorts of people to produce drum-heavy masterpieces. This first single off his upcoming album hits hard both musically and lyrically. Keep an eye out for his upcoming album, Give the Drummer Some.

 

Travis Barker Feat. Feat Swizz Beatz, Game, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross - Can a Drummer Get Some?

With Your Friends (Long Drive)

I've sat on this song for a little while, but it's definitely time to share it. I'm not sure what genre I would even put this into, but it's too unique and sounds too good to not enjoy.

Skrillex - With Your Friends (Long Drive)

Jingle Bell Rap

Celebrate Christmas with Eddy B & Tim Gunter and their rap over an unbelievable Jingle Bell Rock sample.

A Request from Me

Please allow me to take a break from my regular music postings to address you with a request.

Readers and followers,


In May 2011, I will be embarking on a trip to Africa with two goals. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, the world's largest free standing mountain, and help renovate schools for children in Tanzania.

Thanks to Childreach International USA (childreachusa.org), I am able to have the opportunity to achieve both of these goals. I have a set fundraising goal of $5,000 that will go towards Childreach, schools for children in Tanzania and the expenses of travel to and from Africa, as well as up the mountain.

As specified by Childreach, the money raised will be used primarily to support the School Improvement Programs and Vocational Training Centers in Tanzania. This past year, the program benefited 2,894 children in Tanzania by renovating classrooms, providing new supplies and building toilet and kitchen facilities. The Vocational Training Centers aim to help socially excluded and/or vulnerable children by teaching them practical skills to increase their chances of employment later in life. In 2009, the training centers taught carpentry, training, IT, math, and basic English to 125 young adults.

I am seeking help in reaching my $5,000 fundraising goal and I would really appreciate any donation you feel comfortable giving; I can assure you it's going to a great cause. Thanks so much.

To donate, follow this link:

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like more information.

There may be a brief mentioning of this time to time, but you can expect the normal music posts to resume next post. Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Brandon "DJ BK" Kaplan

I Just Had Sex

Even more shouts to illRoots.

Not sure why these guys have been popping up in my life so much recently, but Lonely Island hilarious, so I don't mind. I love when they just say fuck it and don't go for rhymes. Good to see Akon with a sense of humor. Great break down at 2:00.

Gotta Get Up

Shouts to illRoots for this one. Asher Roth and D.A. go over a great piano riff, produced by Notz, for this latest leak off his upcoming mixtape, The Rawth EP, dropping on the 27th.

Asher Roth Feat. D.A. - Gotta Get Up

Gnarcade

Knife Work and Ground Up bring us some creative visuals, with witty lyrics accompanied by some classic videogame beats. Chickity check it.

All For Love

Two posts in one night? It's finals week, why not? We're gonna go another direction and bring it back to the 90s with this Color Me Badd track. It was so cool to substitute words for numbers in the 90s. 4 real.
