The Chuckness

Xaphoon Jones is eclectic as all hell. For the most part, I’d say I know the majority of the samples he throws out at us, but this one had me at a loss. Elbee Thrie??? After a little research, you can learn that Elbee’s a member of a Brooklyn-based band called Phony Ppl — and Xaphoon took it upon himself to remix “Possessed By The Devil”. The result is below.

A new Brooklyn boy/girl duo by the name of Savoir Adore is sweeping the blogosphere with their latest effort “Dreamers”. The official single was just released today, along with a Xaphoon Jones remix on the B-Side. I’m no fan of excessive praising, but when you see the Xaphoon Jones remix tag, you should be obligated to give it a listen, regardless of if you know the original song. Educate yourself below.

We’re all into Xaphoon Jones’ production, that’s not really out there for a debate. Recently, he linked up with DJ Mo Beatz on the official remix album of Big Sean’s Finally Famous. Xaphoon handles the  ”Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay” remix, and completely changes the complexion of the song. He injects the original with some more bass and build-up, giving the song more longevity then it initially did. Go ahead and form your own opinion below, and pick up the entire remix album here.

Look once, and you may think this is an identical post to a track I tossed up here a few months ago. Xaphoon did a remix of this jam earlier in the summer; but this time around he comes at us with his “Mega Edit”, which is as ginormous as it sounds. In celebration of GROUPLOVE’s debut album, Never Trust A Happy Song, which was just released today.

Chiddy Bang’s Xaphoon Jones just randomly dished out some flamesauce via Twitter, and I’m not mad. The dude has beats for days. Tweet

Cult favorite producer Xaphoon Jones promised a new beat to his fans after reaching 20,000 followers on Twitter, and in keeping his word, he just let go of this Grouplove remix. It’s got a little reggae infused Gyptian flare, and it works wonders to the original track. We posted the Captain Cuts remix of “Colors” last week, but I think Xaphoon might have taken the cake here. In other news on the Philly native, Big Sean’s Finally Famous album tracklist came out yesterday, and it includes a track called “High” featuring Wiz Khalifa and Chiddy, naturally produced by Xaphoon. If … Continue reading →

If you’ve come across the most recent Taco Bell commercial, you may/may not have noticed Chiddy Bang’s “The Good Life” blaring in the background. As a part of the Taco Bell “Feed The Beat” campaign, Xaphoon Jones has put together a remix of the track, which we have for you below. A nice alternative to the original. Add it to your library.

After first getting word of this over a month ago, I’ve been trying to keep myself occupied with other activities until it’s release. Well here we are on the first day of April, and what a gift we have in store. Xaphoon Jones, arguably my favorite up and coming producer in the game today, and 1/2 of Chiddy Bang, just released the second installment in his personal mixtape series. I haven’t listened to it all the way through yet, but given his resume, it’s bound to be pure, unadulterated audio gold. I figure I’m better off sharing it with you … Continue reading →

Uh oh. This one’s gonna be serious. Xaphoon Jones (Chiddy Bang) is releasing his second mixtape on April 1st. You’re gonna want to take the next 3 weeks to prepare your ears for this. Tweet

Apologies for the lack of consistent posts over the past few days. I’ve been all over the place, and for some reason, new music just isn’t flowing like it used to for me. Even if new jams were flowing like wine, I really can’t listen to anything but Sara Bareilles’ “King of Anything”, so it wouldn’t stand a chance. Seriously, that shit is a glorified jam. There is good news on the horizon though, as my desktop is currently flooded with random tracks that I’m in the midst of ciphering through. That being said, there will be an influx of … Continue reading →
