MC Spank Rock on Cousin Cole:- "I like [his stuff] because I can play it around other people, without boring them, making them want to cry, or ruining my reputation as the most gangster of gangster rappers."

NYC party DJ and producer Cousin Cole is touring on the success of his 'Tambourine Dream' mixtape and remix project - a body of work that turned the business on its ear with an unexpected, yet evocative, blend of folk, psyche and indie, switching a new generation of party people on to these sounds with souped up reworks of Jose Gonzales, Joanna Newsom, Nico, Neil Young, John Lennon, Feist and a dozen other classics.

Cousin Cole stole the hearts and feet of clubbers worldwide with his â?~Crank Datâ?T Soulja Boy remix last year, and at the same time fraternized with the mainstream with his cut programmed high rotation Hot 97 in NYC and Power 106 in LA, and still today played before Toronto Raptors basketball games.

Labeled the 2008 "blog king", a quick trawl of the blogs gives up close on 100 results that include Cole's exclusive edits of tracks by Wale, Peter Bjorn & John, R Kelly and The Killers, plus his banging rework of DJ Kool's '96 hit 'Let Me Clear My Throat'. These efforts sit alongside 12"s like the 'Ruffle Yo Featherz' and 'Tougher Than Featherz' EPs on his own Flagrant Fowl label, remixes of Bird Peterson and releases on Baltimore label Flamin' Hotz.

Earmarked as the next big cross-over producer, his DJ sets follow suite â?" kicking it with all things funk, psyche, whiteboy soul, Bmore, new wave, electronics and rock!
