MED & Blu - Peroxide [(ft. Dam-Funk) Prod. Madlib]

Tomorrow, the Stones Throw duo MED & Blu will be releasing their second EP of 2013 with The Buzz. The album's first cut features Mayer Hawthorne, which doesn't interest us in the slightest (never forget). However, the other cut features help from Dam-Funk and the supreme deity Madlib. DF plays his role with the ultra-dirty chorus, while MED & Blu flash between Madlib's bumping beats.

Wednesday Bears: Dam-Funk Mixtape

né Damon Riddick's (Dam-Funk) mixtape, "Beautiful Music for Beautiful People," is an mish-mash of 80's-ish style dance tunes with the analog turned to the fullest.

The mix, brought to you from the people at Clae Footwear, is a fuzzy blend of city soundscapes lost in a mirth of 80's synths and harmonies. The product, styled in a crisp rust of analog and drum beats, is in a way a call to the oft-forgotten, oft-idolized sounds of late 70's and 80's pop and soul, complete with heavy baselines and swollen voices echoing in the fog of the music.
