Jewcy Music: Make Y-Love Sound Better |

| You can remix the best-ever album by a Boston Hasid | |

Remix contests, when done right, can be the coolest things in the world (ultra-hipster warning: refer to the Dismemberment Plan's fan-remixed best-of album that was their final release) or can, of course, be hackneyed cliches.
In honor of Y-Love's impending debut album, Shemspeed is throwing open the master-tape vaults and offering open access to the sounds and vocals, and hoping you come up with something better than they did. (Well, not better than -- it's a pretty incredible album, okay, let's hype it and say it's the best hip-hop album put out by a Bostoner Hasid EVER.)
So do your best -- if you're not sure how to make a remix, download Ableton to get started -- and we'll see what happens. Word is, next they're going to let you kids run wild with Pharaoh's Daughter, the Sephardic/world-music phenomenon who sounds really amazing without the use of blips and beeps. See if you can change my opinion about that.

STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10003
Dear friends,
I would like to invite you to an intimate live show with
Coolooloosh.
Recently at the invitation of Grammy® nominated
engineer/producer David Ivory (The Roots, Patti Labelle, Erykah Badu)
Coolooloosh arrived to the US
in January of 2008 to begin pre-production and the tracking of their new full
length album with Ivory at the helm.
Suitably named "Coolooloosh", a Jerusalemite word for
celebration and joy; this is precisely what the band exhumes with each and
every exciting performance. Wooing fans around the world with their intelligent
blend of genres, Coolooloosh combining Hip Hop, Rap, Jazz, and Funk, is one of Israel's
most popular groups, and is one of the very few well known emerging acts that
can pull it off. Consistently, pushing the envelope, the band is destined
to break internationally.
Press Quotes:
"Coolooloosh is a band worth looking out for - a
bastion of originality in a culture of copycats"-Jerusalem Post
Debut album review "In short, the Israeli public can expect to hear a lot
more from this band with the addictive sound and a magical ability to draw
crowds" –Jerusalem Post Show Review "
"The Music Is infectious and the crowd gets on their feet"
