Nouveau Nouveau Yorican

Nouveau Yorican, the dynamic duo constituted of Gina Turner and Laidback Luke, whose first outing took the form of our dear Boriqua ep on Sound Pellegrino, is back with a new unstoppable single, courtesy of our friends at Mixmash records.

JACKIT, featuring remixes by Tony Senghore (aka by the man who probably didn’t sleep since 2008) and Trouble&Bass’ frontman Drop The Lime is available now on beatport here:

And to celebrate this properly, the duo’s unveiling the great and long overdue “Boriqua” video. Red Foxx shot this one 16 years ago with a totally different equipment. The final master, the rushes, the 6 betamax safety copies Teki did at the time: all lost in the terrible fire of oct ‘96.
Our pain was immeasurable and our frustration immense, since the entire fortune we made with the original white label vinyl releases of the label went into hiring the best hair stylists New York, Amsterdam and Paris could offer (and just to reassure Orgasmic, we hired ALL OF THEM) —hence the two-year editing saga, stretched by creative divergences and punctuated by spectacular microcycles of skin care revolutions and cosmetic industry deceptions (the infamous 94-96 “Fond De Teint bubble”).

Thankfully, while browsing his attic for the old photo album of what was supposed to be our graduation year, Luke stumbled on a crusty, half-melted, dusty vcr, with a glittery purple vhs tape stuck inside.
Being that it was impossible to extract the tape without damaging the glitter, the only option left for Red Foxx was to play it as it, and simply re-shoot the TV screen.
The irony is, some of these mises-en-plis are a bit dated now, maybe the clothes too… but Gina, oh, Gina, you haven’t aged a bit.
