New segment! OkiZoo is not just hip hop. I want to be clear on that. You will start to see us spread our wigs and all the other pieces of the puzzle coming together real soon, so don’t be surprised. Our way of thinking is that all these elements belong together. With that being said, every Friday we will bring you the Arcade Archives. 10 songs  selected from the world of Electronica/Hard House from our very Tek Steez aka Camel Toe Jones. If you didn’t know, in addition to getting Photoshop to do his bidding, and being a card carrying MILF hunter, he’s also an incredible DJ with a one of a kind funky ear. So he decided to dip into his electronic/soul library to give you the songs that are the soundtrack for partying on the weekend. Hopefully these are the type of songs you hear when you go to a party/club. If not, LEAVE AND FIND COOLER PLACE TO BE. Welcome to the Arcade!

LETS GET THE WEEKEND STARTED!!!
Boy 8 Bit – The Cricket Scores
When talking about electronic composers, Boy 8 Bit should be somewhere on the top of your list.  Using an Amiga to pump out 8 bit bounce, this dude crafts track after track with the agenda of  touching all end of the musical spectrum. Peep the cricket….. diffidently not the normal Trance music you may be use to turning off.
Atmosphrique – Metro Area
Coming Straight out of BROOKLYN, New York  Metro Area is easily one of you Mom’s new Favorite groups. Formed by producers Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani, these two push R&B, disco and boogie to new definitions. This Shit is Smooth….and that is all that needs to be said.
Lo-Fi-Fnk – Change Channel (Kaos remix)
I really am a fiend for those addicting baselines. Kaos on the remix of a Lo-Fi-Fnk track…..golden. You really have to enjoy this track as a whole as the direction of the track often changes right when you want it to. The drummy feal in the breakdowns, mixed in with some amazing horns are really what tie the whole track together. Is your T.V. stuck on MTV……wake the fuck up….Change the Channel.
General Elektriks – Terms & Conditions Apply
This track really speaks for it’s self. General Elektriks, started byHervé ‘RV’ Salters is currently in BERKELEY, California where he is putting in work with the Quannum crew. Check the  new album out….”Good city for Dreamers”. Vintage Jazz has come along way.
Crystal Castles – Magic Spells
My video game sessions must always have a sound track. Crystal Castles has taken that to a whole new level…..the level up.  Named after She-Ra’s crib,Ethan Kath and Alice Glass have found the perfect mix of 8 bit and glam vocals.
Yum Yum: Al Green (rmx) Â - Â Gotta Find a New World
You really can’t fuck up a  Al Green remix. DON’T get me wrong….2009 has definitely birthed some bullshit remixes by some bull shitty remixers , but this my friend is not one of them. Press play and enjoy.
Collin Hobbs – Coming Up (Riva Starr rmx)
Riva Starr is one of my favorite up and coming artist, with styles ranging from Disco craziness to tech house and Fidget. Look out for the BBC 1 Essential Radio mix on Jan 30th 2010. Let it bump.
R̦yksopp РEple
This track Eple is a electronic classic. If you don’t have this one by now you might be behind dude.  Consider this a blessing from Norway’s Röyksopp
Patrick Rassmusen – Hymn (Jahcoozi rmx)
“WE GOT MORE DRUGS IN THE BACK” Gridcore at it purest form. Jahcoozi remixes always come hard with plenty of glitch and baselines, this one is no different. New Ep out now called NAMEDROPPER .
Sissy – So Long (Kahuun rmx)
The kind of track that when listened to while driving inspires you go faster. Very entrancing vocals with a roller coaster of Jazzy melodies. Get ready to rewind son.
