El-P: Cancer 4 Cure
Published on 2012-05-25 14:56:00
El-P is BACK! The renowned Brooklyn hip-hop producer that has been on a hiatus since 2010 finally released his new album "Cancer 4 Cure" on Wednesday and it is nothing short of excellent. For those of you that love the hip-hop sound of the 80s/90s and not all this auto-tuned, dance floor bullshit, you need to go grab a copy now. You can find the MP3 version of the album at any of your normal retailers, or cop a vinyl version here. Also, preview and download for free my favorite track off the rel [..] > read more
Snoop Dogg & Super Mario Bros.
Published on 2012-05-22 13:01:00
Had to post this track. Snoop put it up on his soundcloud yesterday and it's too good to pass up, especially if you grew up playing NES like I did. He hasn't made the track available for download, but you can stream it below: > read more
Oddisee: Old Renditions EP
Published on 2012-05-15 16:01:00
Just recently heard this track by hip-hop producer/rapper Oddisee and I'm really diggin' it. Have to give Marvin credit where it's due, but Oddisee's version is pretty damn good. Oddisee has a free EP out now that you can grab from his BandCamp that also features samples from artists Bon Iver and Metronomy so you know what to do. You can stream the EP below, too:<a href="http://oddisee.bandcamp.com/album/odd-renditions">Odd Renditions by Oddisee</a> > read more
Emil & Friends
Published on 2012-05-10 14:11:00
Recently got a very nice e-mail from Brooklyn artists Emil & Friends concerning a couple of covers they did of M83's "Midnight City" and Neon Indian's "Polish Girl." I'm going to go ahead and apologize to them publicly for not posting these tracks earlier 1) because I love covers and 2) because these covers are really pretty fantastic. Straying away just enough from the original sound of each song, yet maintaining a certain level of quality and familiarity is no easy task, and for that I applaud [..] > read more
Big Sean Ft. Nicki Minaj - Dance (A$$) // Crushendo Remix
Published on 2012-04-17 17:07:00
Chrushendo, formerly known as Slim Thugz, went and remixed one of my favorite hip-hop tracks of late by Big Sean and Ms. Minaj. It's not every day that a remix is better than, or even as good as, an original version. More than often than not remixes are shit, but this one meets and possibly surpasses the original in quality, mainly because of the amount of production put into it. Grab and preview the track below to see what I mean: > read more

BASSNECTAR: New Album Stream
Published on 2012-04-11 16:48:00
Bassnectar's new album "Vava Voom" is finally out. No need for a review, really, it's exactly what you would expect (in a good way). If I had to pick a favorite track or three, I would definitely recommend "Empathy," "Laughter Crescendo," and "Butterfly." I hope to see Lorin show us more of his lighter side as time goes on. He's an excellent producer, and I think I'm not the only one who is getting a little worn out from all of this heavy heavy. Stream the album below, and be sure to pick it up [..] > read more
A-Trak, Kimbra, & Mark Foster: Warrior
Published on 2012-04-05 14:25:00
Every now and then the stars align to create something extraordinary, in today's case it comes in the form of a song called "Warrior" by Kimbra, A-Trak, and Mark Foster of Foster the People. Every single one of these artists had a very special place in my heart already, so when I heard they were collaborating in the Converse studio in Brooklyn I almost crapped my pantaloons. But enough about me and my pantaloons. Without further ado, I give you "Warrior":A-Trak, Kimbra, and Mark Foster - Warrior [..] > read more
Nosaj Thing: Mary Anne Hobbs Mix
Published on 2012-04-04 14:24:00
I'm not a huge fan of posting up mixtapes because I rarely have the time to listen to any myself, but when one comes along by an artist I truly admire, I do try and make the time for it. This recent 20 minute mix by Nosaj Thing is one such mix. If you like downtempo, trip-hop, or are a fellow fan of Nosaj, be sure to check out the mix below: > read more
Starfucker
Published on 2012-03-30 11:15:00
There comes a time in everyone's musical journey where no matter how much you love a certain style or genre, you end up finding yourself seeking new sounds and listening less and less to what you once thought would be your favorite artist for years to come. I myself have hit such a divide, and think it's time to open up my scope of music I not only listen to, but share with all of you, too. Slightly off the beaten path of beat/bass driven electro comes a tune I haven't been able to get out of my [..] > read more
Blue Sky Black Death
Published on 2012-03-28 15:38:00
Blue Sky Black Death. The name may sound dark (or emo) to some, but for your own sake don't judge too quickly. Made up of producers Kingston and Young God, this duo has been spitting out hip-hop instrumentals since 2003. In 2011, BSBD released "NOIR," which, after months of debate and inner turmoil, I have decided is the best album of 2011. BEST you say? YES.From beginning to end your ears are graced with everything from southern guitar solos to choir samples, all paired with clean, familiar hip [..] > read more

PANAMA

A friend of mine recently showed me this album on Bandcamp. It's by PANAMA, an electronic producer I know literally nothing about, but is a tribute to Bon Iver, who I love.
