Mike 2600 new EP and interview

THE Mike 2600 dropped a digital-only EP this week entitled "Ready To Rock" through Emynd & Bo Bliz's Crossfaded Bacon label. Cop it here. Peep the interview-worth-reading here. There's stuff in the interview for fans, upstart designers, graphic-design nerds, record fiends, food aficionados, and DJ's. It's also fun to check out this tastemaker's Top 16 on turntablelab.com.

Do It To It volume 2

Mike Davis (aka Mike the 2600 King) has a lot of friends.  Burlesque Design has a lot of friends.  The high school quarterback has a lot friends.  The difference between this group of people is that Mike and Burlesque have an abundance of talented and equally cool friends.

Last year, Mike got together a bunch of talented DJ's, made some killer dance tracks, and pressed them all on yummy wax.  To top it off, each EP cover was designed and screen-printed in-house at Mike's Burlesque Design studio.  It got rave reviews at taste-making music retailer, turntablelab.com.  To celebrate a job well done, the gang through a bonkers party in First Ave's main room where Mike and Dave Nada rocked their nads of.  I won't forget that party.

vvvvvvvvvv COP THIS vvvvvvvvvvv

I'd normally include a download from a featured record, but since this is an EP and it's from a Minnehappinite I'm not.  If you follow the "cop this" link, you can stream the tracks.  Or for an example of what Mike's track, "Give It To Me", sounds like in a mix you can download my all-vinyl live mix from a year ago .  His track is featured around 5:50.
