THE “ROAD GOLD” TOUR FEATURING:
JOKERS OF THE SCENE
“It began…in Canada…”
Jokers Of The Scene’s recent remixes for the likes of Mika, Acid Girls and Burns have been making waves in forward-thinking DJ sets and blog charts alike. But it’s their original tune “Baggy Bottom Boys” that has become a signature anthem – an enormous dance track that’s as moody as it is ecstatic. It’s a perfect introduction to JOTS, whose sound continues to mutate from straight-up club bangers into a deeper, darker strain of electronic dance music that’s completely original and exciting.
The “BBB” video captures all these contrasts and complexities in glorious, stroboscopic black & white, filmed at two particularly wild JOTS shows in Boston and Ottawa by Julian Wadsworth (aka Red Foxxworth) and chopped up with glee by LA-based video vanguard Demonbabies.
To go along with the clip, Fool’s Gold is releasing a digital “Baggy Bottom Boys” remix EP, featuring brand new mixes by High Contrast, DZ, Rob Threezy and JOTS themselves – and a “pianopella” for the mixers! Grab this and all the other JOTS releases and remixes on Fool’s Gold, available at iTunes, Beatport, and wherever else fine music is sold.
Be sure to catch the Jokers on tour around the globe: debuting new tracks, destroying dancefloors, and exploding minds!

NICK CATCHDUBS
“When it comes to DJing, Nick Catchdubs is a regular Mr Do-It-All” – XXL Magazine
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Nick Catchdubs has been dropping his signature club sets (hip hop, electro, rock and more, with an emphasis on new music and original remixes) around the globe for the past six years. It’s not a kitchen sink approach to DJing, just lots of different music mixed well, rocking any kind of party you could think of.
Equally at home headlining a sweaty glowstick rave or hyping up a packed rap showcase, Nick has shared stages with the likes of Ghostface, Clipse, MIA, Rihanna and Sean Paul, performed at Lollapalooza, Electric Daisy Carnival, and the SXSW, WMC and CMJ festivals, and played countless solo shows (praised by Nylon as “guaranteed to get people dancing”) throughout the US, Canada and overseas.
Nick’s expertly composed mixtapes (including Wale’s award winning Mixtape About Nothing, the alternative rock Radio Friendly Unit Shifter series for cult clothing brand Mishka, and the Mark Ronson collaboration Radio Radio) have the Chicago Reader calling him “tastemaking royalty who can break an act single-handedly.” On the production side, his remixes and re-edits are favorites of blogs and fellow club DJs alike, getting play everywhere from college radio to commercial stations like Power 106 in Los Angeles.
As co-founder of the beloved Fool’s Gold record label with A-Trak (named an “indie innovator” by Billboard), Nick has helped launch the careers of artists like Kid Sister and Kid Cudi while curating steady releases of only the best in hand-picked new music. He was featured with the Fool’s Gold family in Bushmills’ “Since Way Back” ad campaign on giant billboards, wall posters and subway ads throughout the NYC metro area.
Before starting the label, Nick also served as associate editor at The FADER Magazine, holding down the mag’s radio show “The Let Out” on East Village Radio while writing features and cover stories on everyone from Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg to Jenny Lewis, Soca star Machel Montano and the Chicago juke scene.
SAMMY BANANAS
Rising Brooklyn remixer and party maestro Sammy Bananas lives up to his name by crafting ecstatic tracks that ditch trendy production tricks in favor of pure pop satisfaction. Hook and melody are the consistent components of his dance music, which swerves through genre boundaries while maintaining a commitment to sparking club mayhem. Sammy is a skilled remixer, with reworks for Passion Pit, Kid Cudi and Chromeo under his belt, and these as well as his original tracks are loved and played by DJs across the globe. Traveling often, he brings his good-time DJ sets to dancefloors from Europe to Australia and everywhere in between.
With High Top Fades and Braids & Fades, his first two EPs on the influential Fool’s Gold label, Sammy set the tone for his style, chopping up 90s R&B hits into quirky and infectious uptempo club tracks. This approach is still evident on his recent bootleg “My Body”, which transforms snippets of R.Kelly’s classic “Bump & Grind” into a near anthemic 2-step house jam. His first non-sample based song “Move Your Body” saw release in November 2010 on Fool’s Gold Vol 1, a label compilation put out in partnership with Downtown Records.
Telephoned, Sammy’s collaboration with NYC vocalist Maggie Horn, has wowed listeners with their innovative approach to the cover song. On their self-titled EP on Fool’s Gold, and through a series of mixtapes, the duo transform and mutate current hits and reshape them in their own image using Maggie’s versatile voice and Sammy’s production skills. Their first original tune “Hold Me” is out now on Scion A/V, but they keep their mission statement in mind by featuring a cover of their own song on the B-side of the release.
