The duo by the name of 14th just dropped a video for their single Take Me There.  Take Me There is their follow up to their debut Hide Yourself.  Take Me There is a like a 90s dance tribute.  It reminds me of Ace of Base and C+C Music Factory and creating horrible dance moves in my basement to that typical 90′s era dance beat.  Tracy kills the vocals on this track, and I can still say that 14th is the dangerous duo to…

Boom Clap Bachelors’ single  Løb Stop Stå is a smash.  Producer Cris Prolific sprinkled some of  his talents on the track and created a lovely remix.  The track still has that hard hitting effect, but now with a little extra funky synthesizer sound.    BOOM CLAP BACHELORS ‘Løb Stop Stå’ CRIS PROLIFIC RMX feat. MOKA ONLY by Cris Prolific

I remember when Sonnymoon played at Christine’s amazing row house in Ledroit Park.  That was the first time I heard Sonnymoon, with their enchanting spacey sound.  Sound does an amazing job at imprinting a place and space in your mind.  That night has been forever pressed into my memory not only because of the space and people, but mainly because of Sonnymoon.  I was happy to find their new EP 2012 in my inbox and knew I had to give…

I’ve always been a bit confused about why there is so much fuss over unreleased tracks. One would think, if it was unreleased it would not be stellar. I sort of feel that way about this unreleased SBTRKT song that was recently uploaded. Its worth a listen though. It certainly shows his talent in a different light, and is providing some calm this morning.

Alice Russell’s voice can pierce your soul, in a good way that is.  She’s a super talented songstress and when I found out that she’s doing an album with another LB favorite, Quantic, I had to take a double take.  Alice Russell’s voice is straight up transplanted from the 70s and Quantic magically transcends all genres.  Their album called Look Around The Corner drops in April and look out for their US tour coming soon. Quantic & Alice Russell with the…

Clear Soul Forces were individual emcees one day and then a full fledged group the next.  They came together to share a studio session and came out Clear Soul Force.  They first hit the scene in 2010 with there Clear Soul Radio Mixtape and now they are releasing Detroit Revolution(s) coming this March.  When a hip-hop group vibes well together they catch you attention, and with their powers combined they end up keeping your attention.  Makes me think of the importance of a hype…

Eeep. I’m super late on this one. It turns out moving out of the country takes too a lot of effort. Who knew. None the less this gem from one of my current favs Jensen showed up in my inbox about a month ago, and its been on repeat. Its a gloomy day in london so I thought I’d share something Synthy and amazing. Enjoy. C Madi Diaz – Trust Fall (Down We Go Remix by Jensen Sportag) by Jensen…

Bonobo’s Black Sands is still one of my favorite albums released in 2010.  2010 was the year I became a huge Bonobo fan and  I also came to appreciate his talent for pairing up perfect songstresses for his albums (Andreya Triana for Black Sands and Bajka for Days to Come).  Come to find out Machinedrum is remixing Black Sands in its entirety and releasing it this February.  We get a sneak peak into the album with a remixed Eyesdown.  Eyesdown is one of…

I’m finding that a lot of the music people are raving about and a lot of music that is grabbing people’s attention is simple beautiful music.  Lianne La Havas is one of those shining stars that does not focus on bringing something cutting edge or new to the music game.  She is just simply talented and her music pulls you in.  Sometimes we get distracted with what people are doing or how different it is from the norm.  I’m glad…

This video and song caught my eye as I was rolling threw the interwebs.  The Kid Daytona released an EP called The Interlude with clothing company LRG in 2010 and then released  The Interlude 2 last December.  While searching all things The Kid, I couldn’t help to find that everything associated to his name is also linked to LRG.  The Kid Dayton became the face of LRG and looks like they were inseparable in 2010.  Now the LRG stamp isn’t boldly planted on the…

So come to find out there is another Stones Throw collab happening in the world.  Madlib is teaming up with soulful songstress Georgia Anne Muldrow to birth a funky album called Seeds, which is will be released this March.  The first single, Seeds is funkalicious, and the album is coming out on Muldrow’s label SomeOthaShip.  A couple facts (via Pitchfork), this is the first time Muldrow is using a producer outside of Dudley Perkins and this is the first for…

So this tasty treat is brought to by Eric Lau.  I’m just finding out that Eric is doing an EP called The Mission with Stones Throw’s own Guilty Simpson, what?  Yes!  We are a big fan of both talents and I have a feeling this is gonna be a blow out album.  Yesterday is more on the mellow, laid back side, and I’m hoping that The Mission is filled with tons of head bands.  I’m kind of sad we don’t get to hear…

I woke up this morning to another lovely track from Robert Glasper featuring the super talented group King.  King is a trio of ladies from LA killing it, creating lots of buzz with their soulful EP Story.  This track is a perfect combo of talent.  So if the two tracks from Black Radio hasn’t convinced you this album is going to be fire, I don’t know what will.  You can download this track from Robert Glaspers page for the price of free.    Robert Glasper…

The world is buzzing about Robert Glasper’s new project Black Radio which is due to be released this February.  Glasper is promising to transcend any notion of genre on this upcoming album.  He’s delving into all sights and sounds of music and I’m really looking forward to hearing his fusion of music.  Afro Blue is a track off the upcoming album, in which Glasper and Badu create beautiful magic together.  I’m kicking myself for having missed seeing Glasper perform live…
