Although released a couple of years ago, this twerk track by Dallas based producer/DJ LDFD is an absolute classic and needs to be shared. Ever since I heard this one over a year ago, I haven't forgotten about it. No video this week (sorry guys), but the song itself is so sexy you can use your imagination. Hawt. Press play.

Also, there's a free download link.

Big Freedia, the "Queen Diva," you can always count on if you want to move your booty. Check out the video for "Y'all Get Back Now" (released 2011) and see that you don't have to just be a girl with a donk to dance. Anybody can twerk it. If you're still feeling too shy, entertain yourself with this virtual booty clapping game courtesy of Big Freedia and the wonderfully wild folks over at VICE.

A throwback from 2011, "Twerk" by Lady is a classic twerkin' music video not meant to be taken seriously. To forewarn you: it's raw. Each time I've watched it, I can't even help but go back and forth between dropping my jaw and laughing. I think her vocals are what slay me. Also, check that weave. Expose yourself to what is "ratchet." This is a relatively short post because, well, the video speaks for itself.

Twerking: a dance made well-known by Diplo and his music video for "Express Yourself." Keep in mind the twerk and the booty clap have existed long before thousands of girls began tweeting pictures expressing themselves everyday to the Mad Decent stud. Also, I cannot emphasize this enough, twerking takes a little bit more than propping ones self upside down against a wall, which in all honesty is what most of those girls are doing. The production value of these music videos can range from professional and eccentric glamor to true hardcore. If you find yourself looking for a weekly twerk fix, each Thursday in this mini-series I'll feature a video or song ranging from new releases to classics. Also, unless you work from home you may want to watch these later on.

To follow the Diplo theme, just a few days ago he finally released a video for "Butter's Theme," another track off of his Express Yourself EP. Featuring Billy The Gent and Long Jawns, otherwise known as Gent & Jawns, this track drips with sex. Diplo's videos are always mind-blowing; since the release last year, I've been waiting to see what this video would be like. The visuals in this one are wildly psychedelic consisting of a kaleidoscope of beautiful women; it's Mortal Kombat meets the trippy scene of The Big Lebowski. Unexpectedly, a deity-esque woman appears, and also keep an eye out for Ellie Goulding's cameo. Props to Diplo once again.

"Big Freedia, The Dick Eater, The Late Night Creeper, Stalkin Yo' Man, You Betta Believe." Big Freedia will be performing at Soundlab tonight with special local guests Jack Topht and DJ Mario Bee.  Otherwise known as Freddie Ross, she is an American eficiando of Bounce music.  This genre of music is hip-hop derived from New Orleans and can be described as booty bouncing and twerk worthy.  The "Queen Diva" has performed worldwide and has shared the stage with artists such as Spank Rock, Ninjasonik, and Snoop Dogg. 

Since it is Bounce music, dancing is highly emphasized.  On Big Freedia's website, there is a section offering lessons on how to move.  "The 'pussy' is the focus of the 'girl' dance motions, though those without a physical one will be put in touch with their own etheric 'pussy'. The class will also learn different exercises to promote fluidity in the pelvic area, even for those with limited mobility. And it's a lot of FUN!"




A quote from his Facebook description, local hip-hop/grime/punk rapper "Jack Topht would like to entertain and dazzle you with his wit and juxtapositioning of pithy, connotation drenched, signifiers building to a crescendo of zeitgeist defining perfect wisdom forever. also probably some sex jokes."

The very talented DJ Mario Bee will also be opening.  From the local Toats Orig collective, Mario Bee loves his crowd and knows how to make them wile out.
