Funkungfusion



Funkjazzical Tricknology



Flexistentialism

Amon Tobin- Easy Muffin



Sixtoo- Boxcutter Emporium 3
Or anything from the Chewing On Glass album really..



Fink- We are Ninja (ft Frank Chickens)



Dj Food- The Crow

Sage Francis

Sage Francis cracks me the hell up. Remember this one show he did around 2004 where he came out not giving a fuck, with a stereo on the ground and rhymed over some busted cd full of beats. CD even skipped at one point. There were only like 15 of us there and we were all thinking, fly 20 hrs all the way over here from the states just to throw down some budget ass show? Thats dope. hahahahahaha

New album dropped which is pretty average tbh, but whatever, the guy's funny. Two of my fav vids...

Sage in a dance battle. the MAN!

Wait, what's with the Medusa on the cover of the tape? Did he do it as a Crooks and Castles collab? Fuck that.

Forest Swords



Discovered a new guy today. Just looking him up, I came across a ton of remixes like
a rework of the classic Timbaland/Aaliyah track "If your girl only knew" which makes me wonder why I hadn't come across him earlier. Generally bracketed in dubstep, I'd disagree and say it was more post rock. Think Mogwai's droney guitars mixed with Burials lo fi drums. Forest Sword's debut LP Dagger Paths has just been added to the to list of things pick up this year.

2 parts Keith

Two of the best Keiths in the bizniz laying down the classics

My boy Keith Murray



And my homie Kool Keith with Godfather Don ft Percee P

Portishead- Mixhead

What's with the lack of mixes lately? Since leaving RG records, I know I've been out of the loop, but I'm sure they aren't taken as seriously as they used to be. I'm not talking a Wale mixtape, or a Cudi one, I'm talking a Psychonauts Essential mix, or a Dj Krush Code 4109. That hearty good stuff.

Came across this lil beauty today which I never even knew existed.



Notes-
the first CD is an interview of Geoff Barrow (the man behind Portishead’s music) and the second CD is a Mixed CD by Geoff Barrow and Andy Smith; it was made to introduce people to their influences and features the typical Portishead/Andy Smith type of DJ set, starting from slow heavy beats hip hop, moving to 60s soul featuring rare rock records from the 60s/early 70s, weird soundtracks, and anything to make you dance! This Mixed set is exactly the way it was in its original form, which is Un-edited (you cannot access the tracks it is one only track of 58 minutes).

New DJ Shadow

Entroducing isnt overrated, lets just get that out of the way. Its just been thrashed to death. Shadow owns a good slice of my heart, but dayumm, he's taking my trust in him for granted innit. The crunk stuff he did was all good, took me a while to warm up to the idea, but I understand you can't be making the same kinds of beats 10 years on, plus the Funky Skunk mixtape was great.

Check out his latest single though.......

DJ Shadow - "Def Surrounds Us" (Radio Rip) by Some Kind of Awesome

UMMM.

WHAT?

Shit is making me sadface the hell out. Should have done a Bill Withers and stopped after 2 albums to keep legacy fresh.

ARC x ABC Mixtape

Whenever Joel is over, him and Rodi are always guarented to be making heaps of noise next door, geek faces on, blasting stabs of samples to each other like some freaking A.D.D kids. I actually don't mind it, because every so often something beautiful happens, like this mixtape.

About that time

Starting a blog mid year is a good excuse to list my favourite releases of 2010 to date.

Flying Lotus- Cosmogramma
Kinda obvious, but whatever, it's good.




The Roots - How I Got Over

9th album in and still staying true to their sound. I have to admit they did fall off for a minute, but this album really aint bad at all.



Onra- Long Distance
80s as fuck and I'm loving it. Shot Onra my Viet brother.



Gill Scott-Heron - I'm New Here
If you thought his track "The Bottle" (1974) was dark, wait til you hear this shit. His first album in 13 years and produced by XL label owner Richard Russell.



The Bottle, for your reference. And because it doesn't hurt to revise something so classic ;)





The Boats - Sleepy Insect Music
A one off collaboration between some guys I'm totally unfamiliar with, from labels I'm equally unfamiliar with, I was given this album by a friend who's good like that. Hooking me up with the goods by digging deeper than your average.



Bonobo- Black Sands
I love Bonobo. I just wish I could tell him.



Blockhead- The Music Scene
Blockhead came through!!! Didnt think he would to be honest. I hesitated putting on the album hoping like hell he didnt jump down the Diplo route (aka making an album dope as Florida and then, well you know the rest..)



Blockhead album sampler mixed by DK
http://soundcloud.com/ninja-tune/blockhead-the-music-scene-album-sampler-mixed-by-dk-1/download

Also, speaking of Blockhead, whats Aesop up to these days? A new one from him wouldn't hurt either.

Caribou- Swim
Lovely.




The Black keys - Brothers
Something about these guys I just love. The Blakroc collab album had some great moments, but the Black Keys in pure form is whats really up.




iTAL tEK - Midnight Colour
Took a while to grow on me, but the drop in BPM with this album is interesting.
