HEADS UP EVERYBODY! This Thursday in Chicago, SmartBar and SubFix are hosting a release party for my new album, Women’s Studies (on Planet Mu Recordings).

 

I’m really in love with the lineup for the night–a great display of the diversity of Chicago’s world-class talent at the moment:

 

CHRISSY MURDERBOT vs MC ZULU (planet mu / sleazetone)

DJ NEHPETS (power 92 / dance mania)

LADY FOURSQUARE (noise floor crew / trustus / dust traxx)

 

And as if that weren’t awesome enough, RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY will be there, recording the sets for broadcast on RBMARadio!

 

Perhaps most importantly, it’s FREE. (!!!) Hope to see you there!

Ever since doing the My Year of Mixtapes blog, it seems I’m always whipping these things up for various media outlets…here are 3 more super-fun party mixtapes!

 

Chrissy Murderbot exclusive mix for Time Out New York: This one is an uptempo party mix packed with super-upfront exclusive tracks.

 

Playground Podcast 036: This set is straight from the Women’s Studies album release party at The Big Chill House in London, sponsored by Mixcloud.

 

Pre-Party Jams 121 – Chrissy Murderbot: A mix of down-tempo party stormers to get you ready for the rave.

 

Enjoy!

My new album, Women’s Studies, came out this week on Planet Mu Records!

 

It’s a genre-hopping booty opus featuring guest performances from MC ZULU, Warrior Queen, DJ Spinn, Mungo’s Hi-Fi, Johnny Moog, Coool Dundee of DMG$, Popeye, and Rubi Dan.

 

It’s my best work to date and I am REALLY proud of it.

 

Check out the AWESOME reviews in XLR8R and Resident Advisor, and then go buy the album here!

Go buy my remix of “Mitte Riddim” by Tvyks & C.Monts, out now on Meanbucket records. It’s a seriously bass-heavy bashment/house tune with some disco throwback elements to it. The original was one of my fave UK Funky tunes from last year, so I’m really pleased that I was able to be a part of the remix EP. It’s available via iTunes, Beatport, Juno Download, and pretty much everywhere else.

The new vid for “Bussin Down” from me & DJ Spinn has been getting a LOT of attention:

 

first PITCHFORK premiered it: (pitchfork link)
ABSTRACTOR were the first to repost: (abstractor link)
then DISCOBELLE reposted it: (discobelle link)
the next day saw THE FADER picking it up: (fader link)
as well as LOUDERSOFT: (loudersoft link)
and XLR8R: (xlr8r link)
awesome UK bass blog THE FAT CLUB put it up as well: (fat club link)
shortly thereafter RESIDENT ADVISOR caught wind of the vid: (RA link)
followed by CHICAGO READER, as part of their Pitchfork Festival lineup announcement: (reader link)
finally the friendly folks at PALMS OUT SOUNDS blasted it: (palms out link)

 

but perhaps the most glowing review was from FACT MAGAZINE: (fact link)
