Spotted @ Bloggerhouse.com
Some footage from Marco Polo’s “Stupendous Adventures of Marco Polo” release party, at which fellow Toronto producers Frank Dukes, Rich Kidd, and MoSS, as well as Marco himself, were asked to flip some well-known samples. Frank Dukes tackles Seals & Croft’s “Summer Breeze”, Marco works with Al B Sure’s “Night and Day”, MoSS manages to make The Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive” sound gully (no joke), and Rich Kidd gives Melanie Fiona’s “It Kills Me” his own personal twist. More footage coming soon.

On this third stop, more than 850 frenzied onlookers nodded their heads as the red hot rhythms of Red Bull Big Tune helped heat up a cool SoCal evening. The 12 producers brought out their best beats, but when the smoke cleared it was the new West Coast sound that secured Dibia$e a close victory over Captain, whose stop-motion rhythmic beats earned him second place. Both producers will advance to the Red Bull Big Tune National Championship in Chicago in November, 2010.
