Catching up with Ninjasonik

The Ninjas were running the roads in CA doing some shows in the bay area & in LA a couple of weeks ago while also doing a bit of recording in the studio. Fortunately, their rad gal manager Felice packed them all in a car to the Vans office before they had to head back to Brooklyn. While she passed out on this bench-looking thing for a much needed nap, I chatted with Telli "Bathroomsexx" Gramz, Ben Robey and Roofeo from the infamous baller black ikea couch.

By the way, they got a fresh new site: Ninjasonik.com.

See them with The Death Set, Diplo & a buncha cool people for FREE at the Mad Decent Block Parties. The first one is in Philly on this Saturday July 31.

Ninjasonik at Spaceland

Last night I dropped into Spaceland in LA to catch up with Ninjasonik. They aren't doing a big tour right now, but since they came out to record some new tracks they figured they'd give the west coast some love. As always, Teenwolf, Jah Jan & Bathroomsexxx did not disappoint. They were definitely on it & put on a great show. Any band that can throw a sample from the Lion King into the mix & instruct the crowd to wait for the build is cool with me. Plus Bathroomsexxx lead the audience in a few rounds of call & repeat after some people weren't paying attention to the show, "I said f**ck your conversation! (audience) F**K YOUR CONVERSATION!" on repeat until aforementioned people were shamed to quiet. PBR tallboys abound. Kids were jumping around all over the place. Dance party time.







Guess what? It was dark and my photos suck. Sorry. Boohoo. Watch the video. Parting thought - Jah Jah's wolf tail is real.

I seriously can't remember the last time I wanted to get up and shake my stuff this much. If you are having a party or get together, all you need to do is let this baby play. I'm serious.

More free tunes?! You shouldn't have!

Ninjasonik "Daylight" remix

Ninjasonik recently did a remix of Matt & Kim's "Daylight." I think I actually like this version better. I'm also a big fan of one-take videos and this one has a rad ending. Check it out!
