Continuing on the local music scene highlights, I’ve got another handful of folks that are churning out great music out of Denton, Texas.

Whoa!coder [MySpace] – From the 2-Dimensional corner we’ve got a song by Whoa!coder. Can’t say anything more than that this track below is my favorite Whoa!coder track, packed with 8-bit sexy goodness. Whoa!coder’s other tracks reside more in the electronic genre as opposed to the 8-bit, but they’re all a little darker, a little grittier, and fierce without a doubt. Check out the track below and download it here if you want a copy to put on loop in iTunes.

Whoa!coder – Pale Noise

Fab Deuce [MySpace] / Juicy The Emissary [MySpace] – Juicy The Emissary is a juggernaut hip hop producer. I love all of the production work I’ve heard from him and all of the beats on his MySpace are better than any “hip hop” you’ll hear on the radio. Fab Deuce provides lyrics on the track below. No hooks, no cheesy mainstream lyrics, just real hip hop which any true hip hop fan is going to appreciate. Like what you hear? Support both Fab Deuce and Juicy The Emissary by buying their music. You can find links to buy their music on their respective MySpace pages or you can check out their websites vortexas.com / routinefly.com.

Fab Deuce – What I Like

Be sure to show up for Fab Deuce plus all the extras in the flyer at Hailey’s on December 26th for the new CD release party. What else are you going to do on the day after Christmas? That’s right! Nothin’!

Super-special-extra-non-denton-based-follow-up to the Night by Night Skream remix. This remix comes from U-Tern. Completely different feel, completely awesome remix. I’ve now exceeded my monthly hyphen usage. Check U-Tern’s MySpace if you dig the remix then you can download the remix for free from U-Tern’s blog.

Chromeo – Night By Night (U-Tern’s Aeroplane Blend)

The office I work at is full of people who aren’t from the Dallas area. You know what that means? It means they don’t know the great music that has been hiding down the street for the past year or so. See below for two prime examples.

Fizzy Dino Pop [MySpace] – The name describes exactly what his music sounds like. I’ve listened to his work for a while, but haven’t caught him live yet. I’m planning on checking him out as well as the Sore Losers on January 8th. Check out the MySpace link above for some more of his music and look him up on iTunes if you want to support him by buying some music. Japanese electronic inspired sounds, GO!

Sore Losers [MySpace] – The Sore Losers are a hip hop duo out of Dallas consisting of rapper Encyclopedia “Brown” and producer Out The “Blue.” Admittedly my first exposure to the group was last week when their new mixtape, Free Loaders the Soundtrack, was released. Not only have they put together a great mixtape, but if you like the two tracks below then you can download the whole thing for free here.
