New Zealand looks like the place to be checking for in 2010. You have Recloose and the upcoming Star Blazers project - trust me, this is gonna be very ill, I've been bumping the demos for a minute - and now Electric Wire Hustle. I just got hip to these dudes via my man DJ Stylus. If you're a fan of Dwele, Mark De Clive Lowe, Phonte, Spacek, etc. dig this. I never get tired of that Minnie Ripper...

Double Dutch vs. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde was a nice touch.Edan was asked to do a mix (...is it live? is it real?) with the Traffic Ent. back catalog (Chocolate Star, P&P, Sounds of New York, Tayster...basically all the fly shit from the late 70's-early 80's that goes for dumb money). The result isn't exactly a mix or an album, but a bugged out hybrid of the two. Once you're rocking a kazoo it goe...

As a fan of Domu (aka Sonar Circle, Bakura) this is a sad day. I found a lot of parallels in his life and production to my own, and having gone through a lot of similar feelings over the past year with my own music, this really hits home.For anyone, in any artistic field, I highly recommend reading this.The End.I'll leave you with one of my favorite joints by him:Simon Grey - Galactica Suite (D...

Art Laboe is the Chick Hearn of the oldies game. We used to listen to his show every Sunday when I was in Job Corps (real heads know the deal). He put me up on so much good music bitd. I'm still trying to find a copy of this. Enjoy a classic and have a good weekend y'all,Brenda & the Tabulations - The Touch of You (Osha, where you at?!)

...that I sit and wait to come my way so I can share it with y'all.Zo! (who you might remember from my previous post) has dropped the "...just visiting too" EP* to tide folks over for his own full length LP SunStorm. With the help of Phonte, Darien Brockington, Sy Smith, Carlitta Durand and Yahzarah, he covers Don Blackman's "Holding You, Loving You" (right down to the hi hats), Prince's "Crazy...

Thanks to everyone who came out to Root Down last night (shout out to Ervin for the footage)! We wanted to do something new for MJ & Halloween and what better joint to flip than "Thriller"? We had a day to rehearse our main set and put this together. Hope you all enjoy it. Be safe out there this weekend!*bonus beat - Drunken Ewoks FTW*

I first heard about Trus'Me via Kon's blog a few weeks ago. He kept saying how ill this dude's record was gonna be, people were gonna flip, blah blah blah...and he aint never lied.I just got the promo today and it's easily in the running for "Best Of" this year. I uploaded his cover of Bill Withers' "Can We Pretend" with Amp Fiddler to show you what I mean. The joint with Dam Funk is bananas to...

For anyone outside of Southern California, KCRW is NPR/college radio broadcasting from Santa Monica college. Ever since I first heard Michael Mixxin Moore and The Militant Master Mix in '93 I've been a fan. Out here in Palm Springs we don't get a lot of culture (surprise!), so having KCRW on the radio has been a blessing and a huge influence for me.Over the last few years, DJ's from Raul Campos...

I can tell you, what you see is what you get. Dude has his head on straight and will be around for a long time. This album is...
