pocketknife and cousin cole of flagrant fowl records have caused something of a stir this year. their indie/folk mix cd, "tambourine dream", 18 tracks of loveliness, featuring all exclusive remixes of songs from the likes of joanna newsom, bruce springsteen, devendra banhart, and neil young has found fans from across the musical spectrum, from spankrock to todd terje to dj ravin of buddha bar fame. limited quantities are still available from turntable lab.

pocketknife caught the djing bug as a teenager in iowa when he befriended dj wolf (original 70s disco/deep house jock who rocked it with lil' louis in chi) and then honed his craft with theo parrish (sound signature) while the two were in art school together. production was inevitable, as pocketknife started to make tracks while attending grad school in detroit. cousin cole comes to the party from a more hip-hop direction, known for his wide ranging dj sets with a strong baltimore club influence, his biggest track so far, cousin cole's "soulja boy" remix has achieved primetime airplay by hot 97 in nyc and power 106 in la.

now both based in brooklyn, pocketknife throws down with cousin cole as flagrant fowl dropping classic jams as well as their own unique remixes. this exclusive mix is the something rather special indeed. a killer mix that comes in two parts, it's also the first time that you'll get to hear some of the exclusives from the forthcoming "canyon dancing" ep on flagrant fowl (forthcoming for halloween).
