Man, there has been some good dance music coming out as of late. Slide this one in and slide to it through the year-end. Visuals hot as Robin Givens with Robin in it (yes) and Stefflon (HOT) and Montana (cool)… This is a new groove from Chromeo – “Don’t Sleep” (for real)! Album out now.

Little Dragon – “Lover Chanting” (EP)
Little Dragon. Straight outta Sweden! It’s a disco-house-R&B mash EP… Not really feeling that as an NWA-type flow… which is good. Nothing like that. But good!
These New York Plus-Size Dancers Show Us That Their Size Will NOT Keep Them From Being Great (Video)

Watch Jimmy Fallon Lip Sync Battle With Tiffany Haddish (Video)
You WANT these two at your dance party. You NEED these two at your dance party. Hahahaaa! But hold up: Did Tiff throw in a li’l crumping into that James Brown shuffle at the end?
Jimmy faces off against Tiffany Haddish in an intense lip sync-off to songs like Post Malone’s “Psycho” and James Brown’s “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine.”

Tuxedo – “2nd Time Around” (Video)
NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Tuxedo (Video)
A Tuxedo Tiny Desk Concert? Best ticket you didn’t even have to purchase. Check it out!
When Tuxedo arrived at NPR and Mayer Hawthorne spied a small ‘Ho!’ button sitting on Bob Boilen’s desk, he immediately beamed. “We use a big ‘Ho!’ button on tour,” he said. They didn’t bring a drummer, opting for a boombox — yes, a real boombox playing a real cassette tape, kids — and it was nostalgic delight from the start of the cassette’s hiss. The band was tight as ever, while their ace in the hole, Gavin Turek provided dance moves and the sweetest harmonies. Tuxedo set things off with a fan favorite from their first album, along with two [more] before closing it out with a red light special. It’s one thing to go against the grain for the sake of it — and another completely make it good. In this Tiny Desk concert, Tuxedo accomplished both.

Tuxedo – “U Like It”
We’ve posted on Tuxedo (Jake One and Mayer Hawthorne). Heard this song a while back recently. And it popped back in my head. Struggled all weekend trying to remember what it was called and where I heard it.
Once I got my ‘memory back’ I went on a brief Tuxedo binge. So, yeah. Expect the fruits of that this week. Gonna be all good though. Admit it: “U Like It.”

Shári – “C.I.W.I.I (Call It What It Is)” [Video]
I am so glad I came across this on my FB feed! Looks like my fave choreographer, dancer, model, muse & more has another gem out there on the Interwebs. ShirJaunda “Bounce” Woodson put a li’l something together for Shári. The dance track needed that extra something for the extra pop. And that ‘something’… Let’s “Call It What It Is”… HOT!!

Eye Candy: IAmBounce aka ShirJuanda Woodson Expresses Herself Through Dance (Video)
I’ve got a right to speak my mind.
OW! And as you can see, Bounce’s body movements are NOT mumbling. They are proudly speaking. They are PREACHING (have mercy)! Unapologetically bold and beautiful. Plus, undeniably HOT!
Mm mm mmm, ShirJuanda “Bounce” Woodson. Talk that talk then woman! Everyone, she’s baaaaack…
…with another visual jam, and it is smoking! Also, she is back from dancing & touring the seas on the other side of the world.
(You’ve seen pics if you’ve been following @IconicShoots on Instagram. And if you haven’t, start now)!

Theophilus London – “Bebey” (Lyric Video)
I like this joint! Dope! And Theophilus London did the world a solid by posting a lyric video on the IG… so we can share it with you here.
Janet Jackson x Daddy Yankee – “Made For Now” (Video)
Janet does dance music for certain, but can she do reggaeton right though? Of course, that question is purely rhetorical. Janet can do ANYTHING she wants when it comes to dance (or otherwise, in our eyes).
But just in case, she has Daddy Yankee on board for ‘back up’ on this summer jam “Made For Now.”
DJ Jaycee – “Eargasms: The PLAYlist Retreat 2018 Edition” (Mixtape)
Crazy!!
LOOK at the lineup the homie DJ Jaycee shouted out from the PLAYlist Retreat just past. And those were just the ones he could list off top. Yooooooo! Oh, and if you hit play immediately (before even reading any of this) to hear the mix, I ain’t mad at’cha. In fact, allow me to join you… AGAIN!
This is what happens when some of the world’s best producers/singers/songwriters/DJs/creatives, handpicked by DJ Jazzy Jeff, get together at his house slash studio and complete a creative challenge. The songs you’re hearing in this mix were all recorded, mixed, and tracked in ONE DAY. Trust me when I tell you that that’s NOT a typographical error. I was there, I seent it with my own eyes and ears. Super supreme salute to DJ Jazzy Jeff, Kenny Dope, Terry Hunter, Skratch Bastid, Melo D, DJ Babu, Teeko, Lord Finesse, Pharoahe Monch, Freddie Foxx, Maimouna Youssef, Amber from Moonchild, Buscrates, Ian Wallace, yours truly, Kayper, Roni Size, DJ Trayze, DJ Byte, DJ Ease, Nick Bike, DJ Scratch, Rashad “Tumblin’ Dice” Smith, Eric Roberson, Rich Medina, Sat-One, Daniel Crawford, DJ Ogee, Jorun Bombay, DJ Khalil, DJ Damianito, and many many more that attended the retreat and participated in the challenges.

For The NYC Title, Brooklyn Tech’s Team Will Step In The Arena (Documentary)
If you cannot wrap your head around ‘step team’ as a sports/athletic activity, look at this and reconsider. Just saying. They go in as hard as any team on the court (or anywhere else).
You won’t find the most successful team at Brooklyn Technical High School on the basketball court or on the football field. You’ll find them stepping in the cafeteria – sweating, laughing and striving to keep their crown as NYC’s regional champions. In this VICE Sports exclusive, we met up with the all-female Lady Dragons step team to see their pressure-packed final days of preparation for NYC regionals.

Great story, regardless of what you ‘decide’ about the nature of the competition.
