I’ve lost the link in my ocean of tabs, but this is also via 43f, possibly the single greatest use of the internet yet envisioned, ThruYOU, the YouTube remix project.

Here’s track two, a reggae dub. Dub is impossible without electronics*, but it’s not high-tech. I find it a very appropriate style here, and love the use of my fellow Caucasian baldhead — there’s a point at which it’s not colonialism, just love:

Also included: Hip hop, funk, and electro R&B. The songs are good, but the videos are integral: YouTube runoff filtered into pure-sounding art-recyke (which, I think, pays some light homage to Chris Cunningham/Aphex Twin). RZA once said that with a well-textured beat any sample could be used in any song, regardless of time signature — there’s at least one example of that here (the flute in “Just A Lady”).

* No, not really. It’d just be a lot of effort otherwise.
