Mixpak fam Schlachthofbronx have just released their latest EP for Man Recordings, Carimbo, a 4-track offering once again showing us their bass-driven, versatile style: delving into Nola Bounce and the Brazilian ‘Carimbo’. Their collab with Gnucci Banana, ‘Coolie Fruit’, not only has this karaoke-friendly video, but it’s also up for the free download here. Get the whole EP at the usual outlets and preview the 4 tracks at their soundcloud.

“NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA all day ya heard me 504.” Youtube is deep. Enjoy.

Cocaine Blunts dropped Bounce For Relief Vol. 1 back in 2005 and they have finally followed it up with Vol. 2 and it’s a big mix.

Here we veer into the gangsta bounce of early Cash Money and another of the stronger labels from that era – Pack. It’s also bookended by two proto-bounce tracks Gregory D & Mannie Fresh’s “Buck Jump Time” and the J Ro J’s brass band “Buck Jump” knock off “Let’s Jump.” Like the first the song selection consists of mostly classics with a few lesser known titles sprinkled in. Sorry about the crackle and fuzz on some tracks, you know how it goes. Please continue to support New Orleans in any way you can.
