UNSUNG PARTY HERO.

MITCH GENTLY MURDERS.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:32:00 +0000

Somehow we came across Mitch Murder a while back, but his name and music slid through the cracks, as frequently happens with the simply overwhelming amount of amazing music out there these days!

First off, he's just posted a track recently titled, "Snow Crash", and some of us have just finished reading the book, Snow Crash, by the amazing Neil Stephenson, so that's first up...

Well, thanks to a couple of friends in far away places, his being and sounds have come back into our consciousness, and none too soon! We over here at The Hero are just obsessed with the 80's retro grooves, so being without smooth jams like these is just a travesty!

The smooth as polished glass synths & pads, lazer sharp stabs, simply circut-tastic melodies and diamond cut sound effects...just great. It's "80's" cheese, it's computer generation amazingness, it's just overall retro-tech-goodness.

There is, of course, a back story (we love back stories, Kavinsky coming soon...) :

As the story goes Mitch is an overworked Wall Street I.T. from the 80's who dreams at night other realities for himself. These are the soundtrack to his dreams. The first offering, "The Touch" is the retro-futuristic anthem of a peaceful world that's just uprisen from it's dark chaotic post apocalyptical past. Straddling the line of french touch, 80's soundtrack and robot disco band music it seamlessly carves out it's own sound space. Overwhelmingly emotional and uplifting it has one of the most triumphant guitar synth solos you'll ever hear.

And so prolific...so many releases!

These are the latest couple...the Another Place EP from mid October 2013, and the Descent EP from August of this year.

&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://mitchmurder.bandcamp.com/album/another-place-ep"&amp;amp;gt;Another Place EP by mitch murder&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;
&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://mitchmurder.bandcamp.com/album/descent-ep"&amp;amp;gt;Descent EP by stratos zero&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;

Of course he's been swooped up by Mad Decent (always known for having their ear to what is poppin off), and his summer EP, The Touch, was released on MD's Jeffree's imprint in July of this year.

This "Original Soundtrack" for the fictional Sega videogame "Sprawl" is equally amazing...if you've ever played 16-bit video games...def check it..

Now Blood Orange (Devonte Hynes - Lightspeed Champion, Test Icicles, Solange's producer) has released his newest album, Cupid Deluxe, on Domino Records (so solid). Its available now...

THROWBACK...TUESDAY.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 02:28:00 +0000

Remember this? Came up on playing in the offices today. Good times.

Illy "Hollertronix" era, Diplo remix of TV On The Radio - "Staring At The Sun" x Dead Prez - "Hell Yeah"

Some Heroes actually first discovered TV On The Radio in early 2004, via CNet's Download.com music section. It was kind of an amazing place back then to tap into the unheard world of small indie artists. T-Radd (most of the original songs are not findable..), Atomic Puppy (can't find a music link at all), Ghetto Girl, many others I can't remember right now & this very weird looking crew from Brooklyn, NY (Brooklyn? What musicians were there or came from there besides Biggie? --- obviously this is in jest...but in 2003, vs. in 2013...ha!)... with a gem of a song called "Staring at the Sun", and a cover of The Pixies', "Mr. Grieves". They did well and it was most deserved.

TV On The Radio - Mr. Grieves (click below left to play...)

This one was a classic as well...

BTW...the original video for Dead Prez' "Hell Yeah" is on some hard shit...

GOOD HIP HOP. NSDE & OUT.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:01:00 +0000

We just found this last double EP release from Waldo last week, and well, we like it.

Sick beats, and clever word play. Mellow moods, and real shit. What more could you ask for in hip-hop these days? NOTHING. That is the answer.

Released in the middle of last month via Ago, a group of producers from western Michigan, NSDE/OUTSDE (which are both available for FREE DOWNLOAD) is a bit of a follow up to last years Pick Your Own Poison (PYOP) project (also available for FREE DL...or donate if you wish).

Giver a listen...

NSDE by Waldo
OUTSDE by Waldo

The collection was produced for the most part by Sango (with a little help from Marvel Alexander, Mr. Carmack & $ir OJ...all quite great producers on their own) who really kills it.

A little more on Sango...upon visiting his facebook page I discovered two things. 1) this very touching story and song from Dee Mafioso, in which he reached out to Sango to let him know that he was very inspired by his music, that he and his girlfriend had loved his song "When I Need You The Most", that she had recently passed away, and that he had recorded a song in her memory over one of S's beats. Here it is. Its nice when music can heal. And when others can share that. This has been your "real life" music moment with the Hero, all jokes aside.

The second thing I found, 2) was this stellar mix, done for Ssense. Prick up your ears.

He also "likes The Weeknd a lot. So much so that he made an entire EP of Weeknd remixes called More Balloons," which may or may not be available for download.

NSDE/OUTSDE, released on October 15, this two part collection was preceded by this...trailer...eeeeenteresting.

MUSIC VIDEOS HAVE RETURNED TO TV. THX PUFF.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:34:00 +0000

Thanks to Revolt, P Diddy...ahem, Comcast, and well, I suppose Maxine Waters, really great music videos (and some mediocre ones of course, as it goes) now have a place on television again.

Says Diddy :

Oh yeah, he also said all of this :

“REVOLT is not a time slot, it is 24/7 TV. The first to be built entirely from the ground up in the social media age. REVOLT addresses the music void on television by uniting the artists of the world, empowering them, and giving them, as well as their fans, the tools and apps to share an authentic music experience."

As the Hero is a force comprised mostly of those who grew up while actual music videos played on MTV (see LL Cool J, Guns'n Roses, Skid Row, Young MC), this is something that is nice for us to witness. TV in general isn't something we fully subscribe to over this way (both literally and figuratively), however this is something unlike anything else of its "kind" (a statement that can only be made loosely of course), and is refreshing artistically, musically, and culturally. Very few commercials, a very diverse, and more importantly talented slice of the music world being included. Lets hope it can keep itself where it is. Its quite entertaining and high quality upon its debut.

We watched Revolt live online on the opening day, featuring Diddy (quite amazingly not slipping up in his speech even once over the course of his 3+ minute, laptop-cam-to-web monologue) announced its existence "live" (not sure if we caught the first one, it was on repeat, as is the entire channel in a broad sense). Now, through work this week, the channel has been on muted repeat on high up flatscreen, floating over the console and speakers as studio work abounds. Many an impressive mini-motion-pictures have passed before our eyes, in silence as we work, and here are a few of our faves... the ones we could quickly remember anyway.

And of course, the obligatory crew deep rap video...which is, at least, again... refreshingly retro....

WHEN "POLICE" ARE AWESOME.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 02:41:00 +0000

Poliça are awesome. We saw them live at the Levis Haus one time and they put on an excellent, low key (for a small venue) live show. Even the EC Twins thought so. Now they have a new album. This is a great thing.

While the first album, Give You The Ghost, featured singer Channy Leaneagh's voice awash in reverb and effects, Shulamith scales that back a bit, and the resulting clearness definitely lets you know that her vocal talents are really quite amazing, and the processing was simply one form of presentation, rather than a technique used to hide lack of talent.

This new album was released in late October (available now directly through the bands website!), continues that awesomeness, and its recommended by your friends at The Hero that you get, and then listen to it.

Shulamith is out now on Mom + Pop (US), Memphis Industries (UK), and Inertia (AUS)

BUY POLIÇA - SHULAMITH :
iTunes
Amazon

And what would the Hero be without a remix!? This one is from Seams (who you will hear more about soon!), and is part of the "Chain My Name" remix collection...

Finally, give a look at the marvelous and at times very visually arresting video for the song "Warrior Lord". The goods.

KID FROM DOWN UNDER.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 02:15:00 +0000

22 y.o. wunderkind, and current reigning champion of (mostly) "chill-trap", Flume, has released his first full length album, to much anticipation. The self-titled, 14 track album was released earlier this year on Future Classic records, and is available for purchase in their online shop. A great album. Sidenote : we highly reccommend you check the "Get Free" remix down below...

Since he started to create music using a production CD he found in a cereal box, the guy has done a lot. Winning awards in his native Australia, going platinum, touring the world, and whatever the fuck else.

Peep some new jams :

A stellar remix :

And and a classic Flume fave :

Also, to accompany the album, Flume put together a hip-hop inspired mixtape (the "Flume Deluxe Edition Mixtape"... it is included with the deluxe retail package of Flume) while on tour.

Get lightly crunk.

Tracklist :

Flume: Deluxe Edition Mixtape

1. Flume - Intro feat. Stalley
2. Flume - Space Cadet feat. Ghostface Killah & Autre Ne Veut
3. Flume - Insane feat. Killer Mike & Moon Holiday
4. Flume - Stay Close feat. Boldy James, Alexander Spit & Aaron Cohen
5. Flume - Holdin On feat. Freddie Gibbs
6. Flume - Change feat. How To Dress Well
7. Flume - Warm Thoughts feat. Grande Marshall & Goldie Glo
8. Flume - Sleepless feat. Twin Shadow & Jezzabell Doran
9. Hermitude - HyperParadise feat. M.O.P. (Flume Mixtape Version)

While we love the chill solo Flume works, over here at the Hero, we really like to turn up. Bigger. So in that vein, here are a few more from Flume's second musical project. Along with Emoh Instead, he is 1/2 of the duo What So Not. A remix of Major Lazer's, "Get Free", was their real intro to the globe, and has been getting us open over here for a little while now... peep game...track is killing shit all over the place. Can't get tired of it. Even after we've heard the original, and a number of other remixes many, many times since forever ago. Always completely on purpose. The other couple are equally pure blissful crunk inspirers.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Sat, 16 Nov 2013 13:30:00 +0000

Really, hit play on this video..

This is a rarely-seen mini-profile on Christopher Wallace from the UK show, Diary On Passengers, in which The Black Frank White chops it up about supporting Junior M.A.F.I.A., with then-wife Faith Evans, and allows the world some insight into his relationship with his Mother. Some realness.

Seriously, just chill out for 14 minutes and 10 seconds. Then peep some tracks after that...

FLUX EP. NOW AVAILABLE. TOUR FOOTIE.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Sat, 16 Nov 2013 08:12:00 +0000

New from true "electronic" music pioneer Flux Pavillion comes the five track Freeway EP. It is now available, and its killing. This track "Gold Love", featuring Rosie Oddie is murder. Great shit right here.

Flux achieved international recognition with the track "I Can't Stop", which was eventually sampled by Shama "Sak Pase" Joseph for the song "Who Gon Stop Me" from Watch The Throne. He is also (along with Doctor P) the co-founder of Circus Records. and has been inspiring producers of sample and "beat" based music for years! We're certainly psyched on this new material. Ak like you know.

The EP also features tracks with Dillon Francis, Steve Aoki, and Turin Breaks.

Get the FREEWAY EP here... Now if you'd like. AND STREAM IT ALL BELOW...

Also available for free download is the track "Standing On A Hill", from the Flux..

Also...additionally from the crew comes this Doc P & Adam F, Method Man featured track which comes with a pretty slick little video...

Finally... peep some tour footie...good times...(a bit more interesting than the current Baauer & R.L. Grime tour videos...) AND features a little hometown PORTLAND, MAINE cameo here in EP #2...HOLLER.

Don't know a lot about Ty Dolla $ign yet, we been OG Bobby Ray fans, and together this video is kind of our shit right now...

Track goes hard too, obviously. And lyric and concept are more clever than the other TD$ tracks I've heard so far..

Apparently he is on it with the production game as well...nice and simple, but kinda feeling this one on the slow jam, old school vibe (whatchyall know about some old school Rn'B slow jams?)... and a nicely old school ghetto-music-video-production video to go along with it :

NEW : LEXO THE GREAT & THE UNDER.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 00:35:00 +0000

NEW LABEL. OLD FAVES.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 03:37:00 +0000

The prolific and greatly innovative force that is Guillermo S. Herren (a.k.a. Prefuse 73, Savath & Savalas, Piano Overlord, and Delarosa & Asora) has announced Yellow Year, a new record label co-founded with photographer Angel Ceballos. Their initial offering is an EP from Sons of the Morning (Prefuse 73 & the always amazing producer/artist, Teebs...available now on Yellow Year) as a part of a twelve volume Speak Soon series, each installment paring Prefuse with a fellow production luminary for all new collaborative work. Upcoming EPs will feature collaborations with Nosaj Thing, Lapalux, Synkro, Nathan Fake, Dimlite and more TBA. We're looking forward to giving this one a full length listen...

There has been some low-key hype for this label launch, as well as this first release, including this amazing ten-minute "preview" video:

Also accompanying this first release, Pre & Teebs have cut a mix including a number of the duo's influence for the self-titled EP :

“Over the past couple of years of working on many ‘Sons of the Morning songs’, we’ve probably spent an equal amount of time glued to YouTube and listening to other people’s music between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and noon. Although, it would be impossible to fit every single thing we became intrigued with on a 40-minute mix, these are some standouts during our journeys. A retrospect of sounds, so to speak.”

That mix is titled, Needle Exchange 133, and is available here :

Needle Exchange 133 – Sons of the Morning:
1. Bus Driver intro – (excerpt)
2. SonsOfTheMorning – Arrival
3. Oneohtrix Point Never – He She
4. Jeremiah Jae – Spaceman
5. Lukid – The Life of the Mind
6. Andy Stott – Luxury Problems
7. Nathan Fake – Bauxite Dream
8. Forest Swords – Anneka’s Battle
9. The Exposures – Ein Lied Fur Frau Thyssen – Home
10. Radian. – Git Cut Derivat11. Cannibal Ox – Pigeon
12. Tim Hecker – They Call Me Jimmy
13. Visitor – Burn Out
14. Actress – Voodoo Posse Chronic Illusion
15. Ras G – Sign Me Up (excerpt)
16. The Caretaker – All you’re going to do is get back there.

Meet the WOS (Wall of Sound) 2.0. The worlds largest iPhone/iPod speaker. And this one, it goes to 11...

Not a cheap piece of flashy tech thats all plastic shoddyness on the inside, this chest-of-drawers-sized speaker set-up is designed and hand crafted in Sweden (in the workshop shown above). It will more than get your house party kickin', all the while remote controlled by you with its own proprietary app mobile app... drool.

From the website:

"Each WOS is carefully made by hand, in sweden. The result can never be compared to

something made in a factory in Asia. We believe it will last longer that way, but hold in mind: handmade audio-products are comparable to custom cars. Each one will be individual, and have an individual temper. They might have their flaws; but that just means they need more love and caring by you. (And to be played a LOT to get them warm and juicy.)"

NEW CUDDER. NO MORE G.O.O.D. MUSIC.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:00:00 +0000

20 days until the new Kid Cudi, Indicud, drops, and just a few hrs ago (Tuesday) comes news that he is not longer on the Kanye West G.O.O.D. Music label, which he basically helped West to form.

I am announcing that I am no longer on G.O.O.D. Music...Me and Kanye were talking on the phone the other day, and there's just things I've been wanting to talk to him about, about me starting my own diredtion, and he got it because you know he's trying to start his new path, and trying new things as and artist, and you know he was just like, "Man I feel you, its cool!" (HEAR THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW BELOW)

He goes on to say this is not the reason there aren't really any G.O.O.D. Music artists on the new album, and that was simply due to scheduling and Big Sean being "on fire right now".

Cudi plans to focus on his own productions, including his artist, and old school Hero fave, King Chip (formerly known as Chip The Ripper), who has been putting in work for a while now. With Chip, Cudi dropped the first single from this new album in late 2012 titled, "Just What I Am".

This track has been a serious anthem here at the Hero for a couple months now, and though the next couple of tracks dropped (Too $hort collabo "Girls" and MGMT sampled "Immortal") aren't as exciting, we're looking forward to big things happening on this album with a lot of interesting guest spots [including Father John Misty, Haim, Kendrick Lamar, and Michael Bolton (?!)...].

Hollerrrrrr.

Tracklist for Indicud :

1. “The Resurrection of Scott Mescudi”
2. “Unfuckwittable”
3. “Just What I Am” feat. King Chip
4. “Young Lady” feat. Father John Misty
5. “King Wizard”
6. “Immortal”
7. “Solo Dolo Part II” feat. Kendrick Lamar
8. “Girls” feat. Too $hort
9. “New York City Rage Fest”
10. “Red Eye” feat. Haim
11. “Mad Solar”
12. “Beez” feat. RZA
13. “Brothers” feat. King Chip & A$AP Rocky
14. “Burn Baby Burn”
15. “Lord of the Sad and Lonely”
16. “Cold Blooded”
17. “Afterwards (Bring Yo Friends)” feat. Michael Bolton & King Chip
18. “The Flight of the Moon Man”

OH, TYLER.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:37:00 +0000

Odd Future "leader", Tyler the Creator drops the new album, Wolf, today on OF Records/RED Distribution/Sony Music Entertainment.

New video for "IFHY" (a collaboration with Pharell) from Tyler the Creator came out last week...and, what can we say, this one welike. Extra hyped on that snippet at the end with Hodgy Beats...

Though the dude can be a bit kiddo for the masses here at the Hero, his innovation and refusal to stick to any norm is what is most important in this art and music world...props. Whatever the outcome may be. Shake your world up, you know its gotten boring anyway.

However, some here in the offices feel the need to stress that punching girls is not cool.
And soon he'll be making Beiber and Miley music anyway...

MORE SPRING MIX TIME.

noreply@blogger.com (JAMS FRREVER.) — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:02:00 +0000

Keeping on the Spring time theme, and the mix theme for that matter, we have a delightful little collection from Sound Bites.

Says the author/selectah:

19 new songs, one fairly new one (Pegasvs) and an old reggae tune. I may try and write some liner notes, but no promises. This one turned out really good I think. I hope it inspires you to seek out some of these bands’ albums (like Warm Soda, my favorite of 2013 so far.) Meanwhile, Heino and roses for everyone. Please enjoy… and no shuffling!
