Large Up to Badda Badda Gal and Swatch International protege Natalie Storm, whose video for the jump up tune “Look Pon Me” was just added to two MTV channels in the UK; MTV Base and MTV UK. Although a straight dancehall vocal–as opposed to some of Ms. Storm’s forays into electro and r&b–the cut has a natural UK Funky tempo, founded as it is on British producer Sticky’s Jumeirah riddim. Meanwhile, the good people of team-Storm over at Mixpak records have also been generating hype for an upcoming tour of the Northeast with a remix contest, handing out the accapella for “Look Pon Me” to all comers. Winners get a custom Storm dubplate cut to order, among other goodies. Schizo Brooklyn production outfit Dre Skull already parlayed one of their Storm dubs into a club banger and the deadline is May 2nd, so get to rinsing.
