With emcee More Or Les along side of  producer/beat maker Fresh Kils, combined create a “rip-roaring, head-banging blastfest” with their newest release – The Les-Kils EP. With cuts from Uncle Fester and scratches by Killa Jewel, the album also features Timbuktu and Ghettosocks on the single “Pop’N'Chips.”

The release show is Friday, July 24 at Rancho Relaxo in Toronto! If you can’t make it to that, you can buy the album from CDbaby.com!

We’re all so proud of More or Les! He and Fresh Kils are dropping their new EP, the aptly titled Les-Kils EP (where did they come up with that?) at the end of the month. The EP features scratches by DJs Uncle Fester and Killa Jewel, plus guest raps on the first single, “Pop N Chips,” by Timbuktu and Ghettosocks! The EP will be officially released on July 24th in Toronto at Rancho Relaxo, as part of the kick-off show of this summer’s Eastern Canadian World Tour – BACKBURNER AWESOME SHOWS, GREAT TOUR!

Watch this space for further details on the record and the tour, as well as a behind-the-scenes account of the “Pop N Chips” video shoot in Toronto!

So in honour of Les and his many achievements, this week’s Showtime In ’09 heater is another of his unreleased remixes, a little number called “Comedy Two.” It features Miss Butter and was remixed by Dorc!

You love it.

A good friend of the Backburner family, Dilly Dilly, has released a new record called Of Art And Intention. It’s free to download, with an option to donate!

Dilly resides in Portland, Maine, and is a very talented musician, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. The album is great and you’ll even find some work on it from Fresh Kils. We here on the Burner fully support it. Don’t take my word for it, though, take hers:

Well, hello there again!

It official, Of Art And Intention is now available FOR FREE, online only release, with option to donate.

I’ve been striving and struggling in the music world for seventeen of my many years alive and I decided to take matters into my own hands. I mean… If it worked for Radiohead it could potentially work for me too! As we all know, record companies are receding and it’s getting increasingly hard to make music something the musicians themselves can benefit from. With any luck, the money I make from this release online will fund a physical pressing in the future.

Thank you for your time!
