Mixtape impresarios Mick Boogie and Terry Urban are back with their latest project, this time crossing The Noisettes with Kanye West to create Wild Young Heartbreaks. Kanye’s notorious auto-tune album couldn’t be more different from The Noisettes’ lead singer Shingai’s definitively classic vocals, but they somehow make for a harmonious combination.

Many of the artists and producers who worked on Re-Living Thing, including 6th Sense, nVMe, Apple Juice Kid and Christian Rich, were happy to contribute to the new project. Double-0 from Kidz in the Hall also put his touch on the mixtape with the track “Cheap Cops” (The Noisettes’ “Cheap Kicks” with Kanye West’s “Robocop”).

Last week, we stopped by the Double Down Saloon to watch Kidz in the Hall shoot the music video for “Jukebox”, the first single off their upcoming album, Land of Make Believe.

In the scene, Naledge was getting his game on, quickly moving from girl to girl, while Double-O playfully snapped pictures. The bar created a dynamic backdrop for the video with colorful murals painted on the walls, and the decked-out extras contributied to the glam-grunge atmosphere.

“Jukebox” is co-directed by BBGUN’s Alex Bergman and Max Bohichik, who also helmed Kid Cudi’s breakthrough video, “Day ‘N’ Night”. Click here for a free download of Jukebox, and be on the lookout for Kidz in the Hall when they take the stage during CMJ in October.

Last Tuesday Mick Boogie rocked the (Green)house for the LP Release Party of Re-Living Thing, his remix project with Peter Bjorn & John. Several artists that contributed to the album came by to show their support and celebrate the project. Bjorn Yttling, 6th Sense, Outasight, 88 Keys, The Kid Daytona, Double-O from Kidz in the Hall, and Vito from nVMe were just some of the artists and producers that were in attendance.

Mick Boogie, joined by Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, took over the decks at around 1 AM. Bjorn’s electro set was not only refreshing, but also innovative – he used a “Pacemaker” in lieu of a mixer. Mick Boogie’s set started off strong, with a live performance of “4 Out of 5” by 88 Keys, Outasight, and 6th Sense, who also remixed the track. Mick Boogie spun a healthy amount of hip-hop, and threw in several tracks from Re-Living Thing, including “Stay This Way” and “Lay it Down”. At around 3 AM, The Kid Daytona hopped on the mic for an impromptu performance of “I’m Losing My Mind”.
