Balearic house

It doesn’t have to be that complicated, here’s a perfect example: John Talabot’s wonderful remix of Cheaters.

Long f*n awaited !

Really don't need to write anything - this has potential to be massive.

The drum seems the same, bit more lyrics, not really the best I've heard. But I still know 3 people who'll be queuing up for the shoreditch warehouse rave that's about to happen summer/autumn 2011.

The french MF's have probably done it again..



And for all you non-believers and haters.. take a couple of minutes to reminisce with the beauty and madness which was Justice live in Gothenburg 2008... NUFF SAID

You know what I mean

Cults from New York are releasing their debut album in May.

Freeway & Jake One

Some nice beats for the afternoon lounge. One Thing taken from the great album the Stimulus Package that was released last year. “Keep snitchin’ on your man, you gon fry in a pan”

Stolen Dog

Just had to post this as well, while we’re at it. A new song and a new 12” from Burial, hopefully there will be a new album later on.

Halleluiah

This is truly fucking amazing, Four Tet, Thom Yorke and Burial, enjoy. (unfortunately only radio rips)

Let The Children Techno

Well, at least it's Friday tomorrow. Here is Breakbot's contribution to Busy P's and DJ Mehdi's Let The Children Techno compilation.

A legend has left us

At the age of 41, westcoast legend Nate Dogg dies due to health problems, and the world as gotten a little bit duller. For me, Nate Dogg by far was the greatest chorus singer the rap world has ever seen with his super smooth swagger and great punchlines (such as "fifteen in the clip and one in the hole, Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold" and "I need a girl I can fuck in my Hummer truck, applebottom jeans and a big old butt"). Even though I've never listened that much on his own music, he's always been there by putting his quality mark on other rappers tracks. If I had been born black in Queens, Houston or Compton, grown up and learned to rap and finally got the chance to release a single, I would have wanted Nate by my side. From now on we'll just have to manage with T-Pain and Akon... Rest in peace Nate, you're leaving a big void behind!

My Nate Dogg top 5:

1. Regulate - Warren G feat. Nate Dogg


2. XXplosive - Dr.Dre feat. Nate Dogg


3. Ohno - Mof Def feat. Nate Dogg & Pharoahe Monch


4. Area Codes - Ludacris feat. Nate Dogg


5. Bitch Please - Snoop Dogg feat. Nate Dogg & Xzibit

Catching up

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, both my iPod and computer broke down a while ago, and this was really bad for my ability to listen to new music. I've finally managed to get me an iPhone, and that will hopefully mean that I'll be a bit more active here onwards. Since good music kept on coming even though I had my unintentional break it means I've got some catching up to do. Therefore my tips the oncoming weeks probably wont be totally fresh - but bear with me, cus' it will still be good music. I thought I start of with three tracks from three of the most hyped mixtapes of 2010.

Before I'm gone from J.Cole's Friday night lights.



The short but sweet Example from Curren$y's Pilot talk.



Good dank from Wiz Khalifa's Kush & Orange juice.

Koreless and friends

Koreless and Jacques Greene are two of the most interesting guys in this “post dubstep/whateverstep” genre at the moment. Koreless, a 19 year old Glasgow based producer, has made an excellent remix of Jacques Greene’s The Look. The Canadian Jacques Greene is releasing another great 12” with the track Another Girl tomorrow on the 14th of March.

One day late...

But better late than never. Yesterday it was 14 years since Brooklyns finest, Biggie Smalls, was shot in LA. Rest in peace

Fat Joe

Practically every time I've been drunk the last 3-4 months I've played, or at least tried to play Fat Joe's classic What's luv. It's one of those songs I hated when it was up on the charts, but now a few years later have rediscovered and found to be a true banger. Anyways, Fat joe is back with a single together with Harlem rapper Vado, and if What's luv was for the dancefloors, Massacre on Madison is definently for the NY streets.



Had to post this as well..

A-Trak

Haven’t been able to get to see A-trak yet, but I will, I have to.

Forever Dolphin Love

Erol Alkan returns with a rework of Conan Mockasin’s Forever Dolphin Love. This one sounds a bit like his take on Hot Chip’s Boy From School a few years back, witch is still today, one of the best reworks/remixes out there. This is a five minute radio edit, the original will be a ten minute magical trip. Erol will make a rare visit to Sweden in April, on the 8th he’s playing Crowded in Göteborg and on the 9th he’ll be at Loftet in Stockholm.

The bass - omg - THE BASS !

As always,
I'm the least frequent contributor to the forum, but now I've found somthing of a nugget.
It's from Seb Ingrosso's label "Refune" and it's Allesso with Dynamite. I believe it's Seb's baby brother.
And for once the title is fitting.

This is just a mad mf of thumping bass. Well done, well done indeed. The whole EP
is just booming and makes me think of the eminent EPs Teasing Mr Charlie or Puzique.

I don't condone it, but here's the full song (soon on soundcloud). Boom !

One mango frappuccino please!

It was a while since my last post, mostly cus' my computer AND iPod have broke down so I haven't got around to listen to that much music. Just to show a sign of life I'll post this masterpiece from the big apple produced by Pete Rock and rapped by Red Café. Enjoy!
