Prince Linn Lm 1 Drum Computer // Behind The Beat, Drum Machine, Classic R&B

2013-11-06T15:18:00.001-08:00

If you're a production nerd like I am, you'll get gassed hearing the drums coming straight out of the Linn. Word to J-Boogie for the share.

Hazel Rose - Pasha // Music Video, Hip-Hop, San Francisco

2013-11-06T14:48:00.000-08:00

There are quite a few things I like about this song and video from San Francisco MC Hazel Rose. Hailing from the 40 Love camp, Miss Rose delivers a banger in tune with our mother earth, aka Pacha Mama. Having spent time in Peru, and making offerings to "Pasha", I instantly fell in love when I heard the words laid down over Baauer's Dum Dum. Excellent job on the visuals by @duttonfilms.

Snoop Dogg & Dam Funk - Faden Away

2013-10-10T15:17:00.001-07:00

This is what happens when two LA heavyweights met at a HVW8 jump off a year and a half ago. Snoop could not deny that Dam Funk was one the baddest dudes making modern funk in this day and age. A collab was discussed, a few studio instagrams confirming, and voila! Faden Away.

Absolutely loving the music of Paris producer FKJ also known as French Kiwi Juice.

Word to DJ Bluz on the recommendation.

LADY - Get Ready (Music Video) // Nicole Wray, RnB, Soul

2013-10-01T00:25:00.000-07:00

It's was '98 when Nicole Wray released her debut album. Entitled Make It Hot, the title cut the stand out she did with Timbaland. A year earlier she was a protege to an up and coming Missy Elliot and was featured on Supa Dupa Fly. That was the only album she released. 15 years later, she's now teamed up with the UK's Terri Walker with a far more grown up, retro-soul sound. This is Get Ready.

Drake - Too Much featuring Sampha - Live // Jimmy Fallon, Nothing Was The Same, New Album

2013-09-16T15:47:00.002-07:00

If I told you that Aubrey Graham was gonna have to biggest record of the year, you might say f**k no. Love him or hate him, the artist better known as Drake is set to drop the his new album Nothing Was The Same late September (It's leaked if you're thirsty). On Too Much Drake hooks up for the second time with London's Sampha proving he's no one trick pony, always grinding to collab with interesting new artists. Remember his Canadian pal The Weeknd? On this album, he's working with Jhene´ Aioko, Majid Jordan, Sampha, and the Jigga Man himself Jay-Z. I'm calling this the record of the year, no offense to Jigga, Justin, Wale, Kanye or J.Cole.

Ta-Ku - Closet Drake Fans // New Drake Flip, Australia, Club

2013-09-04T00:03:00.002-07:00

Is Drake your guilty pleasure? You're not alone. Before Ta-ku flipped this classic Drizzy joint, he ran a poll asking just who actually liked and dis-liked Drake. I voted like, and I'm okay with that. Drake drops his new album Nothing Was The Same this fall. Get up on Aussie producer Ta-ku though. His ReTwerk series is sick.
Free download here.

BANKS - Warm Water (Snakehips Remix) // Disco, RnB, Pop

2013-08-28T02:35:00.000-07:00

Sounds like the homies The Park are gonna be backing BANKS on her next tour with The Weeknd. They'll be coming through Berkeley on September 13th.

The Foreign Exchange - Call It Home / Pity // New Single from Love In Flying Colors // Modern Soul, R&B

2013-08-27T23:41:00.004-07:00

A month ago I was home in North Carolina visiting family and friends. One of those said friends happened to be Nicolay, Dutch producer of The Foreign Exchange. I got the first listen to the new album, Love In Flying Colors, they'd finished only a day earlier. They meaning the Grammy nominated duo of producer Nicolay and vocalist of The Foreign Exchange, Phonte Coleman (Little Brother). The album sounds fantastic. These cats have been pushing the new soul envelope for quite a few years now. The album is due out in September.

DJ Beset - The Broken Record Radio Show // Mix, Bass, Tropical, Bounce

2013-08-27T21:56:00.003-07:00

I get blown away every time the homie DJ Beset deejays. Honestly this cat rocks hard. He's always on the new new, and his remixes are bananas. Play this at high volume, preferably in a residential area.

Mayer Hawthorne - Crime feat. Kendrick Lamar & Her Favorite Song feat. Jessie Ware (Oliver Remix)// Nu-Disco, Soul, Hip-Hop

2013-08-27T20:19:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of gems off Mayer Hawthorne's latest release Where Does This Door Go. On the track Crime, Mayer Hawthorne croons out over middle eastern strings and becomes soulful very quickly. He's joined by only the hottest, yet not sold out rapper of the year, Kendrick Lamar and it comes off real nice in my opinion. I was also super excited to hear he'd done Her Favorite Song with Jessie Ware. I love her stuff, and really enjoyed seeing her live in San Francisco at Rickshaw Stop. This remix is by nu-disco duo Oliver. The original is dope in itself, with a sick bass line you should definitely check out.

Atlantic Connnection - The Weeknd In The Morning Remix & Kendrick Lamar BDKMV Remix //Remix, Electronic, Drum & Bass

2013-08-27T17:57:00.000-07:00

I'd would have never guessed I'd be listening to drum & bass or jungle again in my life.
I'm different now. Or am I?

Let's rewind back to before moving west in '07. I had the pleasure of meeting now Los Angeles based producer Atlantic Connection. I can't remember who introduced us, we were both living in Wilmington, North Carolina, at the time. Wilmington is home to Dutch producer Nicolay (The Foreign Exchange) as well as Slim Deluxe, MindsOne, Fuzz Jaxx, D. Allen and a lot of other great people. I'm not sure when Nate moved to LA but it's great to see his continued success. Make sure you get the free download. There's nothing like free music!

Bonus: Kendrick Lamar

MØ - Pilgrim Video and Remix // Video, New Music, Singer, Vocalist

2013-08-23T21:46:00.002-07:00

So basically I found MØ through Ronnie Vindahl, who's 1/4th of the Boom Clap Bachelors (see last post), a Copenhagen/Denmark collective responsible for making the song Kendrick Lamar sampled for BDKMV. I found Ronnie through his song with Coco from Quadron called Head Over Heels. Coco is the lead singer in Quadron, a group made up of her and Robin Hannibal, producer of Rhye, and also a member of Boom Clap Bachelors. Follow me? Yeah right. Well anyway, Vindahl has made some stellar tracks and taken this talented newcomer MØ into the spotlight, and to some major festivals including SXSW this summer. Below are videos for Pilgrim and a MS MR remix.

Added bonus: Maiden

Boom Clap Bachelors - Tiden Flyver (Afta-1 Edit) + Live // Kendrick Lamar, Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe Sample

2013-08-23T21:17:00.001-07:00

This is where it all started. You may of heard of Robin Hannibal or Ronnie Vindahl, a couple guys in a group called Boom Clap Bachelors. Said Danish outfit is affiliated with soul group Quadron, and up and comer MØ. Their track is called Tiden Flyver with Liv Lykke on vocals, joined by Coco of Quadron on live version. Dropping down in the LA music scene, it gets sampled by Kendrick's camp, andthe rest is history. One of Kendrick Lamar's biggest songs of the year, Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe is born.

Lorde - Royals & Tennis Court - Video & Remixes // New Music, New Zealand, Music Video

2013-08-20T20:52:00.000-07:00

I love feeling a wave wash over myself and other music lovers at the same time. This breath of fresh air is budding 17 year old New Zealand singer Miss Ella Yelich-O'Connor aka Lorde. Her name's been tweeted and discussed quite a lot lately by some of my favorite producers and DJs.

Below is the video for Royals and, among the producers I spoke of, The Weeknd remix. "We crave a different kind of buzz" just one of the many lines that make this an anti- anthem. Get in where you fit in.
