Hello To The Moon, Hello To The Sun

“Okay, everybody’s stupid, everybody’s dumb, shout out to the moon, shout out to the sun!” – Kool A.D. “Hickory” Wow, let’s blow the dust off this keyboard…It’s been a while since I last had the time and energy to post something on this blog, but you know what LL said:...

Khruangbin

Inspired by the obscure 1960s and 70s Thai funk recordings found on Monrakplengthai as well as Tarantino soundtracks, surf-rock sessions and groundbreaking space jazz explorations, the trio composed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar and Donald "DJ" Johnson on drums set out to find and define its...

Whoop

Releasing today under his solo alias CLAUDE, French producer extraordinaire Fulgeance follows up his already banging “Solid” EP on Musique Large with another crisp 5-piece hors d’oeuvre of modern bass music, containing just the right amount of funky pizazz to make you go “Whoop”! The eponymous title-track is a progressive,...

Reverberation Radio

Don’t judge a book by its cover, or so they say. I’m not sure if the same applies to records, but I dare say the artwork is exactly what drew me to Allah-Las and their self-entitled 2012 debut album in the first place. Sometimes you just have to trust the voice in your head going...

Slumber Session with SKALPEL

Back from a 10 year hiatus, since their self-entitled 2004 debut release on Ninja Tune, Polish nu-jazz outfit Skalpel is set to take the stage and continue spreading good vibes.

Dem Run Things

Live from Wonkabeats

Not only was this apparently recorded on my 30th birthday, it’s also a really cool find that absolutely made my day. “Live! From Wonkabeats Vol.1” is a spotaneously recorded basement freestyle session, featuring the lyrical artistry of Flex Mathews with his Deer Park water over some randomly selected, previously unreleased, dope beats by Washingtonian producer...

Man or MYTH

Somewhere along the lines of man versus machine comes this mythical synergy of man and machine, aka the collaborative effort by Manchester-born wordsmith Mad Brains and his wingman Srabi Machine of Ça Sonne Bien. The two friends recently hit the studio to record this experimental 7-track banger, featuring a heady brand of futuristic beats by...

Hush children, what’s that sound?

This little musical playing field of mine has been a long time coming. Needless to say, writing these first few lines feels pretty good. Lately I’ve been feeling a need to produce again, if only to share the sounds that move me and to try and put those everyday sensations into words. So here goes…...
