Kurt Rockmore, who goes by KURT professionally, is an example of an artist I'd love to hang-out with.He recently emailed Winnie Cooper with "Humble Approach" as the subject line, even though he's opened for such acts asJ.Cole, Ryan Leslie, Yo Gotti, Iggy Azeala, Joey Badass, and Action Bronson. His latest project - entitled Red Carpet Ignorance - was written entirely by KURT and features Bun B on the track Don't Need 'Em . He fuses hip-hop with R/B to create something that is lyrically honest but still worthy of mainstream attention. KURT is not only a [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-09T16:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4941387/bob-humid-interview/
I spoke to Cologne-based artist Bob Humid about his various work, and in particular his mastering: techno producers beware! There's a mix at end featuring dubstep and D&B too. DB: Hello...

It has been quite the birthday for the Chicago native and MMG Warner Music recording artist Rockie Fresh . Not one to sitidle even on his birthday he released his latest mixtape ironically titled The Birthday Tape . So I guess we can treat it as a gift to his fans for constantly supporting him and allowing him to constantly pursue his dreams. After listening to the tape from start to finish this is undoubtably my favorite project from Rockie Fresh to date! With features from Rick Ross, Lunice, and GunPlay as well as [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-09T14:04:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4880715/looking-back-at-tallinn-music-week-five-highlights/
Tallinn Music Week celebrated its fifth birthday last week and marked its presence as one of the premier showcase events in the more discerning music fan's calendar. 233 artists from 20 countries were present for the event, performing across a variety of bars, caves, pubs, clubs and even shopping centres. Since emerging from Soviet rule in 1991, Estonia has edged ever forward to its current status as a progressive, vibrant and highly developed nation. It's known as one of the most wired countries in the world and enjoys a [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-21T14:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4844702/pitchon-01-further-reading/

Rayos Laser es una agrupacin que naci en Crdoba y, poco a poco, se logr hacer un lugar en la escena de Argentina. Hoy se trata de una de las agrupaciones que ms prometen y posee un disco homnimo volador, tranquilo, con momentos increbles y un sonido popero con sintetizadores y un tanto psicodlico con letras pacficas. Tanto creci y tanto se estableci que ahora Rayos Laser toca con Keane . El 11 y 12 de abril la banda britnica se presentar en el Luna Park bajo el marco de su gira internacional que [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-07T23:38:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4827705/junkstarrr/

Find out what's new and hot with our bi-weekly local music roundup. NJACKO BACKO / ICI BAS, RIEN N'EST IMPOSSIBLE / FEBRUARY 22 "Tu Es Mon Coeur," the first single off of Njacko Bakco's new album Ici Bas , is the theme song for optimism. I almost added that optimism is the best antidote for existentialism, but on further reflection I don't think the two have to be mutually exclusive. After all the "benign indifference of the universe" might as well be filled [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-11T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4720950/best-ambient-albums-of-2012/
Rachel Evans (Motion Sickness of Time Travel) Does the word "ambient" mean anything to you in 2012? It seems as though its usage becomes more and more scarce as the years go by. One might even call it out of fashion. Artists and journalists seem to be slightly squicked out by it. "Drone," a vaguer and less informative term, is more favored by the newer generation of artists and listeners. But despite these apparent trends against the A-word, the music itself is probably as big and [...]]]> text/html 2012-12-12T03:17:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4667097/2012-honorable-mentions/
The following is a list of the music that, in a lot of ways, I didn't spend enough time with. It's been a busy year around these parts. The list constitutes positions 31 through 50 of my year-end favorites. I'm pretty sure any one of these albums, given some more time, would have ended up in the top 30. As it is, here is a twenty-way tie for thirty-first place (in descending order). The 2012 Forest Gospel year-end list (in music) is coming soon... 31.

Since being signed to G.O.O.D. Music back in 2007, Big Sean has had a steady rise finding mainstream success with out losing his original fan base. Sean has been featured on some of the biggest hip-hop tracks in the last couple of years and, with the help of Kanye West , emerged as a consistently relevant artist. Best known for his witty wordplay and experimental flows, the Detroit native has been a very valuable asset to the G.O.O.D. team. On his latest mixtape, dedicated to his home city, he draws in help from a ridiculous [...]]]> text/html 2012-09-05T14:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4488659/moombahton-sazon-booya-impacto-ft-otis-clapp/

As the heat descends on the northern hemisphere, we instinctively search for respite, for a place of shade and shelter. Fortunately for us, the new release by Dan Minoza and Symatic Star, entitled "Star Chamber" delivers a glacial, soothing ambient experience perfectly suited for listening during long afternoon siestas. We don't know if this represents the first collaborative release by these two accomplished artists, but we certainly hope it is not the last. Blending diverse influences like drone, space music, textural, and even dark ambience, "Star Chamber" has a lot for listeners of ambient music to love. [...]]]>
