Fe La Soul

A musical tapestry created by Gummy Soul artist Amerigo Gazaway. More than just a clever title, Fela Soul is an 8-track, 33 minute journey into the world of afrobeat rhythms, funky horn riffs, and classic hip-hop gems. Using dozens of hand-picked samples from the Nigerian instrumentalist and political figure Fela Kuti, and 8 carefully-chosen acapellas from the Native Tongue rap trio De La Soul, Amerigo seamlessly intertwines the two into something completely new and original.

Nacho Picasso - For The Glory

After a string of enticing videos, Nacho Picasso (BAYB/Moor Gang) drops his anticipated For the Glory, a portal into Nacho’s dark side.

Without straying too far from his punchline-filled cadence or hard-on-a-bitch philosophy, Nacho delves into heavier topics that are at times depressing, but always with flashes of an iced-out grin in between, a reminder of that lighthearted cleverness we love Nacho for.

Nacho opens with “Bad Guy”, stating his lack of moral responsibility, rubbing it in even harder on “Burn Bridges,” admitting that his evildoing comes at the cost of his relationships: “I burn bridges/ I trade all my friends for ends, I’m so frigid…” He also has something for special interest groups: “Sweaters” for the inkheads, “Marvel” appealing to stoners and comicon nerds alike.

Part Gothic, part mythical, the entire album has a cohesive sound, produced entirely by Blue Sky Black Death and Raised by Wolves, with the exception of a single track produced by long-time collaborator and now 1/7 of 9th Wonder’s Soul Council, Eric G.

American Juggalo

Just saw this documentary (and Radjaw, I think) and "Fascinating" is really the only description I can give for this thing. Such a good watch.

Nirvana 1991 Live

After all the drama surrounding the Nirvana showcase at the EMP last week, why not watch a whole show of the actual guys peforming? This is live from Halloween in 1991 at The Paramount. I'd much rather have a big rowdy evening listening to Nirvana songs over an overhyped karaoke of never was has beens. Oh my god, did you see them stage dive in the video?? Is he throwing his guitar around trying to break it?!?! Oh the horror! What assholes.

Vintage Social Media Ads

A nice take on social media outlets with these throwback vintage advertisements. These are done so well and really evoke the feelings of older ads except they don't have the sexism. I do really want that 1950s twitter box. You can DOWNLOAD FREE

Flatland Album Art

Katie Kate's album is coming out October 18th and we are celebrating the release of her album with a gigantic party at Neumos October 20th. Make sure you get your tickets now before it's too late. Below is the cover for her album Flatland in which I used some photos that Janae Jones took. I think it's truly most gorgeous.

Ain't A Damn Thing Changed

I've said it again and again to you over and over. I highly enjoy this album by Nice & Smooth. It goes down as one of my favorites of all time. I know there might be a bit of nostalgia in the sound that if you weren't up on it back in the day, then it might not all be your cup of tea. But if you can appreciate that new jack swing early 90s drum beat then do it. I found a link for download CLICK HERE.

The Physics Vids

2 new videos from The Physics came out last week. One Delusions Of Grandeur is great little animation video that has me reminiscing about Bebe's Kids. The latter is a tribute to bus route 106. Riding through the south end and a nice video paying homage to our City. The vibes are perfect for this continued indian summer.

Out For Stats

Season 2 so far has been amazing. Let's see what 11 more weeks will do to people. Good luck and fuck off to everyone involved!

Azealia Banks '212'

Azealia Banks is a 19 year old rapper and singer from Harlem, NYC. Don’t let her cute looks or the Mickey Mouse sweater fool you because she definitely knows how to talk dirty. Azealia has been spending time in Montreal this summer and it looks as though she hooked up with Lunice and Jacques Greene from the LuckyMe Record label while she’s been there. I’m not sure if either of them produced this new track but they both make an appearance in the video.

Kinda of my chick right now. If you come to see me dj within the next month or so, better believe that your gonna be hearing nuff of her. She can di club tracks or minimal 808 bangers. Download '212' below. You will thank me.

OFS Geniuses

This what The Stranger had to say about three of OFS' own geniuses. I must add I consider everybody that I fucks with a genius. I am so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing human beings on a daily basis. It is my honor to work with you all and a huge pleasure to call you my friends and my family. Much respect from NJ to SEA, OFS!


NATHAN QUIROGA
One of the more surprising transformations of the year was watching Mad Rad's Buffalo Madonna—a man known for scaling the sides of a festival stage at Sasquatch! a few years back and rapping from above the stage's roof—transform into a subdued memoirist publishing under his given name. A confessional essay Nathan Quiroga read aloud at several literary events this year, later published in The Stranger, was daring, dark, and rueful. Quiroga is of the mind that readings aren't as alluring as they need to be, and this year plans to start a reading series in alleys at twilight, with writers up on ladders, and beer, and possibly music. -CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE


OC NOTES
This year alone, OC Notes (Otis Calvin III), a local hiphop producer, has released four superb albums: Metal Chocolates (with the highly regarded rapper Rik Rude), The New Generation (embracing the new age), Medicine, and Secret Society. As a local hiphop album, Secret Society (the first of OC's rock-influenced recordings, the other being The New Generation) is second only to Shabazz Palaces' Black Up—and it's a close second. (True, if THEESatisfaction had released their sophomore album this year, Secret Society would be third—but, again, a very close third). OC Notes, who recently moved into Vitamin D's former recording place in Pioneer Square, is a genius, and like all true geniuses, he is generous. OC Notes is a pure giver; he is always giving beats to this city. -CHARLES MUDEDE


KATIE KATE
Katie Kate is a rapper, producer, and classically trained pianist. She studied music at Cornish and is currently a member of the Out for Stardom crew (Mad Rad, Fresh Espresso, and Metal Chocolates). Recently she completed her debut album, Flatland, which we're hoping will be released this year—and the album's production is solid and her range (singing, rapping, beat-making, keyboarding) impressive. Indeed, Katie Kate could easily become one of the top local producers—a realm that's screaming for more female talent. Her hiphop beats for "Totebag" and "Body Out" are first-rate, and the techno/new wave of "Copenhagen" and "Houses" is beautifully cold, dark, and cosmopolitan. Katie has a muscular sense of composition or design; her music is carefully built, part by part, with this part corresponding with that part, and this melodic line corresponding with that melodic line. Her music is in the details. -CHARLES MUDEDE

Them Paris marauders are at it again, new french dj/producer Boston Bun is onto something with his robotussin infused lean house movement.

Mad Rad Bumbershoot 2011 T Shirt

Mad Rad X Douster "The Youth Die Young" Remixes

Lyon, France based tropical dance DJ/producer and global bass alchemist, Douster releases remix EP of Mad Rad's The Youth Die Young. Tied closely to Zizek Records after spending two years in Buenos Aries, Douster takes cues from his love of hardstyle, house, bass, cumbia, dancehall, and rap to transform club music into a sonic gumbo. Douster has put out remixes for Rusko, Gucci Mane, Toddla T, and released singles with Diplo, Savage Skulls, and Chilean producers Zonora Point. Now, he puts his spin on the electronic hip hop rumble of Seattle's Mad Rad. The remixes see Douster veering into future Chicago house, half time speed merengue / half space juke, Miami acid bass house, and ambient 808 machine funk. The Douster and Mad Rad combination is a mix you can sink your ears into.

Mad Rad is a Seattle based group that has shaken up west coast hip hop with their combination of electronic focused dance music and frenzied live show. The Youth Die Young is their second full length album, and the band has been supporting it hard by relentlessly touring and playing the Northwest’s largest festivals. Douster got to know Mad Rad’s music after playing a show with the group’s DJ, Darwin in 2009. They exchanged music over the next couple years, chopped it up over Flocka’s new mix tapes, and established a like-minded musical rapport. Douster touched down in Seattle earlier this year for a show, and when he heard tracks off the new record first hand in the studio, it became obvious remixes needed to happen. Now, for your free downloadable listening pleasure, we give to you: Douster’s The Youth Die Young remixes.
