Recently been listening to this six-hour (!) DJ set by Prins Thomas recorded at Sur Bar in Kagoshima, Japan. It seems it was first released in 2007, possibly on this thread? “just got these recordings back from japan… recorded at a tiny little bar but with an amazing soundsystem and a crowd of 50 people [...]
VH1 has been running a documentary series on the evolution of Heavy Metal called (funnily enough) “Metal Evolution”. The series tackles all of the sub-genres having to do with influencing metal and has been really good (even the prog rock stuff). I decided to check if Metal Evolution episodes were available online, and sure enough, [...]
NYC-based photographer and director Timothy Saccenti of Stem has a really interesting article up on PDN explaining how he got the above shot of trip hop artist Tricky. Saccenti’s shots always look really crazy, and usually I assume it’s some post-production madness, but as it turns out the above shot was only colour graded. Really [...]
Our favorite Scottish Austinite ( Sandy Carson ) was on hand at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin documenting it all. “All” includes – Wrestling, BMX, Slayer, Fork in nose, assorted bands and more. Check out all of his pics HERE.
Into Infinity is an art and music exhibition by Dublab and Creative Commons which combines audio loops and “visual circles.” Since 2008 the exhibitions have taken place in Japan, but earlier this year they released a digital exhibition and the result is excellent. Audio loops are randomly paired with 12″ vinyl-cover sized pieces of art, and [...]
Damn… this is sounding like some vintage Nas right here. Stripped down + Non-Robot Sounding beat = Win. Via – TWBE
Yeeeaahhhh, Who remembers this?? I got out of the shower this morning and randomly started singing this.
This past September, I moved to New York from Vancouver B.C. The main reason for moving out here was motivated by my work and to basically push myself and to take everything I do to the next level. To say moving out here was a good decision is definitely an understatement. One of the first [...]
Tribe Called Quest represent represent… I grew up on Tribe, love em. Looks like this doc is finally coming out soon, and it looks pretty good. via – NahRight
Over the last couple of weeks, the main albums in my rotation have been GOBLIN and the new Fleet Foxes album. Both of these albums couldn’t be any more different, but I’m equally stoked on both. Even though I’ve heard of Fleet Foxes before, I never actually heard them. No idea what they sounded like. [...]
So…. where to start with Tyler, The Creator. Without boring you with wordy fluff, I’m just gonna cut straight to the point and say that nothing has piqued my interest in Hip-Hop land in recent years as much as this dude (and his OFWGKTA crew to a lesser extent). While we are constantly bombarded with [...]
When it comes to Hip-Hop sites/blogs, Nahright is the only one I check. It’s got pretty much everything I’d need to know about (sans ofwgkta) in one place and it’s easy to view. Go HERE for an interview with Eskay from Nahright regarding Hip-Hop marketing. It’s a pretty good read.
If you’re a guitarist/musician or just a music fan, than this is for you. Lot’s of notable people discussing the famous wah-wah pedal in a well put together documentary. From Joey Tosi’s Vimeo page: Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World tells the story of the wah wah effect pedal, from its invention in [...]
12 BEATS BY THE GENIUS PRODUCER OF LIL B’S “I’M GOD”, “I’M THE DEVIL”, “MOTIVATION”, AND “REALEST ALIVE”. Hailing from New Jersey Clammy Clams dropped his free instrumental mixtape to the cyber world a few days ago and honestly I’ve listened to nothing else since. Even if ‘rap’ isn’t something you care about… musically… these [...]

Check out this video of OK Go, where they march through the streets of LA playing music with a bunch of people. They teamed up with Range Rover for this project and I guess they were linked up to some sort of GPS that tracked their paths on a map, forming a big OK GO… [...]
No tweeting, no hipster hats, all laptops on mute, just shut the fuck up sometimes, no tweeting please thank you, no blogging, no negative blog viewing, don’t tell anyone anything about anything we are doing, no racking focus while music is being played or music is being made, total focus on this project in all [...]
Chromeo recently hit up Justin Saunders from JJJJound and asked him to put together a JJJJound like image blog – titled CCCChroemeo – inspired by Chromeo’s album “Business Casual.” When I first checked this, I wasn’t sure if Chroemo was ripping on JJJJound, or if they actually teamed up… Stoked it was the latter, because this [...]

The video gives you a look into Jackson’s life as a designer, musician, and label owner. It also covers Jackson’s recent switch from living in a house with thousands or records and other [...]
I pretty much check for anything with a DJ Premier beat. THIS Bun B track is pretty good. Via – Vulture
