Paranoid and burnt out (and FREE) follow up to "Let's Smoke More Drugs". "(I've Got The) Weed Psychosis" picks up where "Dub Drugs" left off, this time whipping out the juke toms and trance-synths only to bend them (along with your mind and the space-time continuum) like neon putty. "Scumbags" continues the bad trip with a two-minute meditation on controlling creeps and hard-jacked beats.

The premier recording from label founder Tony Dixon's electronic-oddity-making Sound Rippers alias twists up a couple of riffs and lets them soar while tom-toms boom and heads spin. "Let's Smoke More Drugs" is a brisk plea to legalize the vibes before "Dub Drugs" slows it down for a double-take look at the key track elements. Big Beat gets crushed under heavy Berlin-trilogy sax attacks before breaking free to have a dance-off with a magic flying carpet or whatever, these blurb things are stupid...

Milwaukee two piece force-of-nature Squidbotz choose a specific sound ("More Bounce to the Ounce" by way of uber-heavy Flooridian sludge-punk) and DOMINATE it in a way that's somehow both refreshingly minimal and impossibly big. Live, the band is a towering stack of amps, speakers, gear and lights; a traveling sound system known to drop in on house parties coast to coast and blow minds through the roof. "All Business" showcases their crushing sound, backed by live staple "Party Patrol" (both recorded at the group's home studio, the Lab).

Terrior Bute is a trio of synthesizer fanatics based out of Milwaukee, WI. Since the release of their debut CD Return To The Astro Castle last year on Vicious Pop Records, the band has received critical praise from iconic punk zines Punk Planet and Slug & Lettuce along with popular websites Tha Bomb Shelter and Scattermish (+ had their “Future of Punk” ad campaign banned from Maximum RockNRoll). They’ve expanded their fan base state by state, playing with contemporaries like Japanther, Ponytail, XBXRX and more along the way. They’ve updated their uniforms and tightened up the brutality and energy of their performances. This focused sound dominates their newest recordings, a two song set on the new Vicious Pop Digital label. “Domes” and “Some People Know” turn up the volume and keep it short. It's, like, a digi-7".

As the 2nd in a series of double-A-side singles from Wisconsin-based artists on the newly launched Vicious Pop Digital, "Make 'Em Pop" and "Care Bears On Crack" launches Pistol Pete into new territory, jettisoning his previous mash-up and remix based work for a pair of unique and hyperactive original productions. Pete's self-released edits of Ghostface, Clipse, Blaqstarr and more have earned massive blog buzz and a featured spot in URB100. On "Pop" and "Crack" Pistol Pete takes juke sound into outer space, pushing sound and tempos into overdrive. The single has already recieved praise from Fluxblog and Discobelle, and has become a top 5 best seller at the newly launched Turntable Lab Digital store.

"Speed Of Sound" is an intergalactic house-pop epic from Milwaukee dance music conglomerate BIG FUN 4EVER and the debut single on Vicious Pop Digital. Their mission: to construct by hand a vessel of pure House and blast off into the stars; to bring humanity one step closer to the ultimate "Ultimate Vibe". Backed by slammin' d-side "Bees", a summer party jam for car cruisin' and BBQ'n.

DJ Spin Laden & Teenage Wolf are members of the CULNSWEET art and music collective and leaders of the Tejano Bounce movement. In Texas and Mexico they share stages often with their brothers-in-vibes collective Hype Headz, featuring fellow artists DJ Yay Yay (whose "Heatwave" single drops early '09 on VPD) and Tummy Toast. The mix kicks off with a sick DJ Spin Laden original (coming soon digitally from somebody, somewhere, check his myspace) that gets me so excited for an upcoming CULNSWEET digi-ep! The boys have been geting some attention on this one!
