I now have more remixes for Benga & Coki’s “Night” than any other tune in the past year. M.I.A.’s tune “Paper Planes” was the most remixed tune on HearingTest for a while there, but now “Night” remixes have far outnumbered “Paper Planes” remixes. This latest one isn’t clearly credited, but the gory hyperbass lettering reeks of L-Vis 1990 and the user who uploaded it has almost the same name: sivl09.

Benga & Coki - ‘Night’ - SQUID ANIMATION Remix from L-Vis 1990

Benga & Coki’s original squid animation for “Night” debuted last week and I still get warm and fuzzy inside watching it. If you get tired of listening to “Night” try watching it with other spaced out electronica too. I recommend anything by Scuba or Nommo Ogo…

Check it: Missy’s new video for “Ching-A-Ling/Shake Your Pom Pom” is finished and you can watch it here in 2D or 3D. It sounds like “Shake Your Pom Pom” is on the same riddim as Eve’s “Tambourine”.

3D version - Missy Elliott - “Ching-A-Ling/Shake Your Pom Pom”:

If you watch the video with 3D glasses (the red and blue kind) the video online works okay, but I bet it really pops if you watch it on the tele! Especially that kid doing the wave into the camera - right into your face! I love 3D effects and I say the best way to beat piracy is to offer something people can’t get at home. That’s why I go to IMAX movies - especially 3D IMAX movies - instead of watching them at home. The movie industry and the music industry could take advantage of the fact that 3D doesn’t upload well. Missy Elliott is always taking her game to the next level. Everything she does sets trends and I would love to see the industry follow her latest move.

Ninja Tune is releasing an epic compilation album called You Don’t Know: Ninja Cuts that drops March 11th. It weighs in at 3 CDs, stacked with 50 Big Tunes from 1998-2008, from Mike Ladd to Pop Levi and from Roots Manuva to Wiley! Last year, HearingTest featured a few of the tracks that made the cut:

The version of “Free” by DJ Kentaro on You Don’t Know: Ninja Cuts is actually an “Armani XXXChange Remix” and the version here is the original edit from Kentaro’s Ninja Tune LP Enter. (I don’t have the remix yet)

Tempa just dropped the best dubstep video ever for Benga and Coki’s infectious anthem. Tempa rules! Turn the lights down low, light up a fatty and get lost in this:

I love this new grime vid with 3Face, Tinchy Stryder, Nolay, wretch 32, and Nasty Jack called “Different World” (Blackjack Remix). Some Alice In Wonderland kind of shizzle…. Of course, Nolay brightens up any mix.
