POB just put out this new mix to nurse your hangover too. It instantly makes me want to walk down to the water, take my shoes off, put an umbrella in my drink, smoke a joint and then relax.
Shabazz Palaces new record is out today on Sub Pop. "Black Up is the new sonic move from Shabazz Palaces. Like rich velvet hijabs or gold threaded abayas. Luxury as understood by the modest. Shabazz Palaces. If Bedouins herded beats instead of goats and settled in Seattle instead of the Atlas Mountains, this would be their album. Forward thinkers but nostalgic for a sparer time when ancient astronomers only recognized five planets. Hip hop. Black light uses electromagnetic radiation to eradicate microorganisms, but shabazz didn’t come to kill a sound, just to shine their own incandescent lamp on this. Hear. Hard and clear. Fifty thousand years in the making. Honorable.—palaceer pink gators."
New single from these guys building up to the release of their new record "Love Is A Business" on August 8th. Thig is definitely the smoothest cat in all of our city and a great photographer. Now he just has to work on his long goodbyes..
Tyler Swan of the world famous Truckasauras and the recent signee of Cairo Records Flexions and the beat maestro masterism of Linda And Ron's Dad and the electroacoustic melodica Foscil has just released this 9 and a half minute body of work compiling mostly of all James Brown samples. His drums hit hard and his synths are muddy. Everything sounds so effortless. This guy can do anything, now if he can only teach me to dance like the master does.
Little short video into the mind and life of AraabMUZIK most known for his work behind Dip Set. It's fucking crazy to see how fast this guy's hands works the MPC. Even crazier to see that the lighting set up is linked in with each pad. Dude is a beast.
"My Hard drive died and I lost the trackouts and files to this album. I managed to find half of the tracks on a jump drive, thank god. These are the ones that made it. R.I.P. to the other half of this record."
