from the streets

europe, music, fauxhawks -- roll these concepts around in your head for a moment and perhaps you'd come up with something mentally akin to street tease's street tape. from the land of justice, france (just for fun, make that a double entendre in your head. think of the people you could anger with this statement, if out of context), comes an everything-hipster website that features techno-heavy, remix-heavy, pimpin'-heavy playlists.

and why are these playlists so sweet? well, who hasn't been searching for fucking EVER for a french bonde do rôle? okay, sure.. maybe you haven't either, but regardless -- y'all should check "bitch of the bitches" (kanthos playlist) by les corps mince de françoise. this song occasionally tastes a little bit like toni basil's "hey mickey," too. hmmm. or how about givin' an aural gander to "spliff dub" by zomby (humanleft playlist). it's been remixed by rustie into a kind of funky, kind of annoying breakbeat-style remix. mmhm -- kind of annoying. but it's called "spliff dub." enough of a reason to give it a listen, ja? another playlist highlight: well, I love "heartbeats" remixes of all shapes and sizes, and there's a josé gonzalez cover of this song on tape #5. cool rad awesome! top playlist overall? quite a tough one. tape list #5 happens to also contain a three 6 mafia remix, making it a top contender in my book, but the whole tape #4 playlist is also pretty siq: lykke li, the pharcyde, some ladyhawke and justice remixes, a bit of lazy & snotty-sounding french rapping from surkin.. etc. really, when it comes down to it, each street tape playlist -- nay, the entire street tease site -- really is super chouette (for the non-francophones among us, this means "super owl" -- though in the context it would be correctly translated as "super cool"), so pop some mollie (optional) anddd chekkkit!
