Featured on one of Kool A.D.'s mixtape homages to his native San Francisco's transit system is his newest video for "Moneyball." Favoring Kool A.D's likable eccentricities, the video was filmed at Ricky Boscarino's avant-garde house Luna Parc, which has it's own Pee-Wee Herman-esque website.
"Moneyball" is featured on the 63 mixtape from producer Mike Finito. As an added bonus to Das Racist fans, former counterpart Heems released his brand new balls-out video for "Desi Shoegaze Taiko," which exclusively uses clips from the blood rave scene in the first Blade movie. Yep.
Still reeling from the supreme success of last year's good kid, m.A.A.d city, Kendrick Lamar has released the album's newest video for "Poetic Justice."
Drake comes in late in the gang violence-themed video, proving that no matter the name, Kendrick always seems to be the most important piece in the song (regardless of who wrote it). Check it out below.
We already know that Long Island rapper Roc Marciano has A LOT of material waiting in the wings, so it was only a matter of time before he offered something to follow up last year's Reloaded. His newest, "Bruh Man," spills over jazzy samples, which is fitting considering the Coltrane and Mingus references.
Exactly where "Bruh Man" will appear on is still a mystery, but it's likely to come out really soon.
Over the past two days, London producer Kode9 has released a bevy of mixtapes (seriously, 14 in all) via his Soundcloud page. The catalog reaches as far back as 2005, and includes promotional mixes for Rinse FM, Xlr8r, and the most recent for Hyperdub.
Take your time and listen to everything you can, including the aforementioned Hyperdub mix from last year below.
Another label that should be catching your attention is California's Burger Records. The former home of King Tuff (who has since moved on to Sub Pop) is reissuing his 2008 LP Was Dead, which will go on sale later tonight. 100 vinyl prints of the first edition will be signed by the band and include Burger Records authenticity cards.
Color vinyl's will be distributed as well. Check out the details over at the Burger Records' website and stream "Sun Medallion" from the album below.
UK production duo Plump DJs' "Hammerhouse" has been getting a healthy word-of-mouth lately, so the two have uncovered the final edited version of the single, which is available now.
Seattle electronica producer Jeff Mcilwain, better known as Lusine, is streaming his glorious new LP The Waiting Room over at Hype Machine. The 2xLP was released yesterday by the always excellent Ghostly International, which is also offering a free download "Another Tomorrow" at the site.
Stream The Waiting Room below and grab a copy today.
Brooklyn producer/artist Jonathan Dagan, better known as j. viewz, recently posted a video (shot by Roy Rochlin) of him converting sounds generated from his Abelton software, through a Novation Sl MkII, connected to fruits and vegetables into the Massive Attack classic "Teardrop."
There's not much of an overwhelming complexity here, although the explanation makes it sound impossible. Really, he's opening up the currents (he explains early in the footage) through the Sl MkII and wiring them next to the food. Really, he could use anything, but the fruits and vegetables are just for fun.
What results is one of the most-fun loving and invigorating things you'll see today. Do yourself a favor and watch.
Featured on Shlomo's upcoming Laid Out EP is the glorious and flat-out-awesome "Don't Say No" collaboration with Tom Krell, aka How To Dress Well.
The single, which will be the lead track on the EP (out March 4), combs Shlomo's spacey production with Krell's crafty R&B into something extraordinary. Check it below.
Bonnaroo will take place June 13-16, with tickets going on sale February 23 at noon EST (here). Firefly will take place the following weekend, June 21-23, with tickets going on sale February 21 (here).
Featured on his upcoming March EP Cundo is the brand new, subtetly sweet "Reykjavik" from Britain's Brolin.
He's a noted fan of city-themed tracks, previously releasing "NYC" and "Lisboa," but "Reykjavik" is charming with a tiny sense of eeriness. Stream the Luke Abbott and David Pye-produced track below and grab the aforementioned Cundo March 25 via Double Denim Records.
Before the reissue of his celebrated 2003 LP Rounds, Four Tet and fellow British duo RocketNumberNine have released this calmed, percussion-laden "Roseland."
The track will be released as its own 12" in the near future, via Four Tet's Text Records. The 12" will feature the track "Metropolis" as well.
Complied of nearly 30 pieces from Homebody Sandman, which include new material, lesser-knowns, uncut gems, and a few radio freestyles, DJ Jav presents the massive Orphans. The near-80 minute mix kicks in with a few dialogue samples you might recognize from The Hunger Games, but for those worried that'll be a reappearing motif, don't.
This stream/download is pure Stones Throw gold, as Stones Throw is usually apt to. Check it below.
Today, we finally get a first taste at one of 2013's most-anticipated albums: Phoenix'sBankrupt!. "Entertainment," the lead track from the upcoming LP, premeiered earlier today on Zane Lowe'sBBC 1 Radio show, but there's a lyric-video already up for it.
Check it out below and grab Bankrupt! April 23 in the U.S.
