Hello everybody.
Use to frequent the forum a while back, seems that they switched a few things...

Anyway, I have a radio show in Richmond, and I play a lot of leftfield/"post"/"bass music" stuff that you're probably familiar with. I'm also starting to incorporate local electronic musicians into my ...

So...apparently Tokimonsta's new LP has dropped. But it seems she didn't tell anybody. Brainfeeder doesn't even have it listed on their site or anything....I'm confused.

This site has two preview track up, and they sound quite nice. It's on iTunes, but not on Boomkat. Huh.

Surprised there wasn't a post about it yet....it's going to take some time to settle in, but this album is very, very, VERY good. Easy contender for Album of the Year, maybe Top 10 of decade...and I'm saying that with as little hyperbole as possible.

Not sure how long it has been up on his Myspace, but I just heard it a couple of days ago...

This post says that the remix will be released on April 7th, along with De De Mouse's new album.

Teebs << Dublab Podcasts

Wasn't sure if they had been posted or not. Golden all-around mixes. ^_^

Oh jeez. Many of the above plus:

Brackles - LHC
Dam Funk - Mirrors
Nite Music - What Did He Say
Animal Collective - What Would I Want?Sky
Blank Blue - Blank Blue (Flying Lotus Remix)

and a bunch of others I forgot.

Thoughts? I just found out this guy had a solo record out. Reminds me of that new Sa-Ra record, except it's more focused.

Pretty much anything these guys put out seems to be awesome, IMHO.

the clipse and the cool kids?

not saying they're garbage but really?

I can honestly say that they're MC's that definitely work on their rhymes -- or, at the very least, think about what they're saying before they say it. There were probably a bunch of other rappers I forgot to mention (Stones ...

Perhaps... but if you knew anything about hiphop, you'd know its never been about the mainstream. Yeah, it might be easy to say "Souljah Boy sucks"... but you would have to get in line behind Ice-T, Method Man, Snoop, and the countless other legends who have dismissed that little shit. If you are ...

So, peoples...I think it's been quite an exciting year. And for me, it's pretty much been all about Hyperdub. Outside of that, there are way too many artists to list that are making some really good stuff.

What's everyone looking forward to next year?

-New FlyLo (?)

-Ikonika

-Rustie

-King Midas ...

I've never really thought most (good) Grime or British MC's ever sounded all that bad. Once you listen to enough of it, you can start to understand what the slang means and how it's used.

American MC's, on the other hand....90% of them are absolute rubbish. IMHO, MF Doom, Clipse and The Cool Kids ...

That looks to be pretty damn awesome. Curious -- anyone know of any DC mixes online?

One of my favorite tracks of the year, even though it's been around for a few years. Plus, someone matched it to a Looney Tunes cartoon, which helps.

Has the ugliest cover art ever known to man.



I mean, didn't anyone think when they first saw this that it was a half-loaded image? Like back in the 56k days?

Anyways, tunes are awesome, as always. but that cover....

If anyone downloads the Rinse podcasts, maybe you guys can help me out..

What in God's name is that song that starts at the 21 minute mark? I have some ideas, but I wanted to see if anyone would know offhand...

Right now, I can say that really like that Nosaj Thing full-length, though I need a few more spins to get into it...Hud Mo's debut is going to rule, most likely...but other than that, I'm drawing blanks. Who else made a great full-length, or is going to release one later this year?

Yes, exactly.

Hah...the artwork is very...ida know... Prince's "Raspberry Beret" video comes to mind, for some reason.

EDIT: Just downloaded the sampler... Good heavens..!!...either this album is going to be absolutely brilliant or g0dawful. There can be no in-between.

What everyone else said...and throwing in Quarta330. Quite underrated, IMHO..."Sabacco" has been a huge tune for me.
