Dusty Crates

Since I missed a lot of the SXSW 2009 shows last month (Dusty Crates’ limited recap and pics soon to come), I should be making accomodations to make up for it now.

The Fader.com just released this information about the upcoming Bacardi B-Live Tour:

Diplo, Switch, A-Trak, MSTRKRFT and More Headline Rum Tour

Hollloaarrrr, we are going to this. Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch), MSTRKRFT, Jazzy Jeff, Tiga, FADER blogger A-Trak, FADER Label’s Matt & Kim and FADER cover star Santigold are all signed up for the Bacardi B-Live tour traversing the US this spring/summer, so we are professionally and personally obliged to go to as many as possible and sweat our hairdos out. The full dates are after the jump, though it’s not yet clear who will be at which dates and what the venues will be. But seriously, when was the last time someone offered you rum and some grinding and you were like, “Maybe, but where?” Watch the video above of Major Lazer and the Mad Decent Mummy making it nuts at The Levi’s®/FADER Fort a few weeks ago and stay tuned for more details.

The boys are back in town with MSTRKRFT. Tonight at Warehouse Live.

Get tickets here.

OK, I’ll make this quick and dirty…I just came across a Z-Trip mash-up that I’m really feelin’. It mashes “This is Why I’m Hott” – Mims and dance hall classic “No,No, No” – Penn Dawn. OMG…so, so hott, yes, I know now!

I’ll also add that Z-Trip will be back at SXSW this year and I hope to have a flashback of his 2 x 4 with our ATX boy DJ Mel in 2005 I believe. That set had to be one of the best sets I have ever heard period. So good stuff is always expected from this man.

He shares the bill with MSTRKRFT on March 15 at SXSW. Lin k to his MySpace page for details.
