noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Thu, 17 May 2012 14:55:00 +0000

Something that my man Bdot from Resonate209 put me on to. Someone who's due to appear on the Resonate comp is LA's Elusive. My Perception x Trill EP is straight beats, slow flow bangers, samples, drums - just that classic formula. I found myself playing this one over and over again, and you might do the same. Anyhow, more to come from this cat, and he's got tons out there already. Enjoy this freebie. Scoop it over at his bandcamp.

For those who were sadly faced with the pulling of the 30 min video of his set at Sao Paolo, here's a quick and solid recap of the Flying Lotus set at the Coachella stage. Pretty wild if I must say myself. ARGH. We hope he'll be back in Toronto soon. ;)

Sonar São Paulo: Flying Lotus LIVE

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:25:00 +0000

Something that I must credit to my man Nutriot, I was about to walk out the house when he tweeted this one. Totally forgot that this had gone down being this was Mom's day and all. During Sonar SP, new music was played by Flying Lotus all through the set: From the new LP, to new Flyamsam and of course, classics. As usual, beautifully recording of the stage at the festival, it was archived in full HD. Enjoy.

Daedelus: Live At Dublab 05 14 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:26:00 +0000

Just a few days removed from being in Toronto, I get to watch the genius of Daedelus once more. His manipulation of riddims has been something of amazement to me all the time, and have always had a pleasure watching and listening to his live sets. Such animation, such control over sound, and wait until Archimedes hits the road (due in Calgary soon actually). Either way, it's Proton drive and just as Teebs & Yuk did a few days back, Daedelus had lent his help in raising some funds for fun at Dublab. Below, you can relive it in site and sound.

Sweatson Klank: BTS Radio Mix

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:38:00 +0000

About 1 week ago, LA's Sweatson Klank dropped a well cut gem. He curated a mix for the venerable BTS Radio, but a special one at that. This mix took me back to the age of wax, promos in the mail, advance copies, all things that are virtually gone from the game. The music was pretty much all golden era hip hop, with a penchant for the wild indie days, that explosion of talent that can only conjure nostalgia. As such, I asked Sweatson Klank to guest post for this mix, saying in his own words what this mix meant to him, and hopefully what I will do for listeners. Enjoy.

This mix was something i had been meaning to do for a long time. Every time I would be looking through my record collection I would see a record and it would remind me...You need to make that mix. So I figured, with my new EP coming what better time to do it and use it as a promotional tool.. Problem is, my record collection is way unorganized. I had to go through every single crate and shelf (quite a few) to find random 12's that were mixed in with other records. Lets just say it took a few days just to pull the records out. Then, I had too many to choose from so i decided there would be at least 2 volumes to this mix.
Anyhow, to speak on the music, these are all songs and artists that really influenced me as a dj and a producer. When i first began producing, I used to work in college radio and believe it or not, these records used to get sent to us as promos every week. Back then, underground hip hop was extremely dependent on college radio support. I still remember feeling like a a kid on christmas day when a box of promos would show up. Excited to get new joints from now forgotten labels like Dolo, Blunt, Nervous, Eastern Conference, Fondle Em, Raw Shack and so many more.
There was a certain something going on in hip hop at that time. Its hard to describe exactly what it was but it was really exciting. I remember just listening to records over and over again, wondering how on earth they made such fresh ass beats. All that turned into fuel for my own drive to become a beat maker. I would go on to experiment in all sorts of directions as i still do today..but it was this era of Hip Hop that shaped me the most and continues to somehow permeate my sound even in the most sublet ways.

Jay 5ive & Kromestar: Backwoods b/w Deepest Fears

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Mon, 14 May 2012 12:53:00 +0000

A tune so nice, that I posted about it twice before and today will make it thrice. Though G Double, Jay 5ive and the Anti Social show are no longer on Rince FM, and many of us remain disconsolate and despondent from the fact, the spirit of the show will certainly live on through this release. I can still hear them chatting over the riddims. Either way, the day has finally arrived, and no better news delivered than by an early morning text reply after I asked:

@mymanhenri @mrgdouble Deepest Fears and Backwoods digital release dropped today....... :)RT plz this ladsitunes.apple.com/gb/album/deepe…
— jay 5ive (@djJay5ive) May 14, 2012

Backwoods dropped TODAY and I would recommend in no uncertain terms, that you scoop this riddim that has enchanted the airwaves for so long now. I just scooped my copy, pon de spot!

Koen: 289

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Mon, 14 May 2012 12:38:00 +0000

Yesterday, The Dutch dynamo Koen posted a blast from the past, the very track that wigs flipping 4 yrs ago, the one that introduced me to the young lad, 289. For those of you who had never heard it, enjoy - as this is a classic indeed.

Do recall that Koen has a new LP out on Soulection.

Kone: In the Wind

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Fri, 11 May 2012 19:59:00 +0000

The debut single from the new Kone EP is here. In the Wind will lead the charge for his Legend Days EP due out May 22 2012. I have this love love thing for guitars, and I love that Kone is known to sample the strings from time to time. Either way, affinity aside, In the Wind is a slow ballad, lead by a strumming guitar and what sounds like a horn section, creating the morose and near mournful melody with the crisp kicks and snare steering the whole opus. And kudos to the artwork.

Enjoy this lead courtesy of Kone and the good ppl over at Alpha Pup.

You don't say? Popped in my inbox was an email from Uncle Imani of Pharcyde fame, as he has a new LP dropping: PROBLACCMAJIK. This single which features PREFYX was produced by our man Computer Jay (who in fact used to tour with them in the day). No doubt.

TNGHT: Bugg'n [STREAM]

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:13:00 +0000

Posted a few hours ago is what is likely to be considered the official single of the collab known to many as TNGHT (???): Hudson Mohawke x Lunice. The two Red Bull Music Academy grads have combined to create something that might just be bigger than the sum of the two parts. Add the Lucky Me and Warp coming together 50/50 on this collab and we might be up for the wildest party known to man (I see you Joe!). Either way, stay tuned for more, and mark July 23rd into your iCal, as this summer might get a little sloppy.

Enjoy.

AstroLogical: Thick Soul

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:14:00 +0000

Right from the Left Coast, comes a piece from AstroLogical and the good ppl over at Jellyfish Recordings. Prepping for an LP which might be (tentatively?) called the Mist Calls, he's offered a freebie from this soon to come LP. Thick Soul is very much just that: smooth, soulful, strumming strings and thick kicks. Def something to lay your head back to.

Hudson Mohawke's mastery if the melodramatic is nothing short of brilliant here, as his remix is the 3rd of the octet of remixes. Hit Bjork up for more deets, and it's out now

TRUTH.

I'd like to know if Ta-Ku gets ANY sleep. Much like a few ppl around this ecosystem, his output is almost 2nd to none. SERIOUSLY. Though this May release in the 2nd of his Dusty series, a set of cutting room floor tracks, we're still treating to a 16 track LP that many would likely be proud to drop. Sampling in the rawest form - classic hip hop by definition. Something to take in fer sure. Enjoy Dusty v2, courtesy of a young Ta-Ku.

Sonnymoon: Machinery (Fhloston Paradigm remix)

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Sun, 06 May 2012 19:56:00 +0000

It went something like this: King Britt heard Sonnymoon's music and was instantly enamoured. So when then opportunity presented it self to get some remix work, Sonnymoon was equally pleased to have King's Britt's alter Fhloston Paradigm put together a re edited aria of the analog variety, vivacious and full of vim and vigor. Using a some of his fave vintage instruments, the Fhloston Paradigm edit ups the tempo, kicks and claps create the cadence, complimenting the sparse vocals. The original appeared in the 2012 EP which is stores now, and this is avail for free. Not for the bashful of bandwidth - it's a WAV. ;)

Pazes: Limbo EP

noreply@blogger.com (Hza) — Sat, 05 May 2012 17:37:00 +0000

Brazilian experimental beat writer Pazes just released a few days past the teaser to a great EP he's offered as a free download. Limbo is a 6 track EP of that nebulous and experimental, that somehow remains anchored to sea level with a 4/4 beat that will keep you swaying left to right. Reverberating snares, snaps, effects and pulsating kicks will summon the most agreeable of apparitions. Certainly of the more tranquil end of the spectrum of records, and well and welcomed at that.

Limbo EP by Pazes

You can download this EP free of charge on his bandcamp page.

Cheers.
