Vassup y'aaaal. Vancouver based U-Tern, whom you may know as one half of nu-disco outfit Oliver, was kind enough to release this collaboration with AJK for free via soundcloud...Gods be praised. With a rolling and rollicking synth line filling the area between reverberated rimshots and punchy low-end percussion, this one seems appropriate for all times and places, whether you're just lounging
MOON KILLER MIXTAPE by Small Black We posted a track featuring Heems off this mixtape a few weeks back and now we have the full project. Moon Killer actually came out November 11 so I've been selfishly enjoying it all week but I figured it was time I shared it with you junkies. I think Moon Killer offers the perfect blend of electro, remix, and a touch of hip hop all in one place. To be honest Heems' [...]
Rock bands with mixtapes: It's almost too perfect of an idea, like rock bands with hypemen, and it's amazing that it doesn't happen more often. Actually, it pretty much never happens. Hypemen are rare, too, but there's at least a historical precedent: Guys like the Happy Mondays' Bez, Avail's Beau Beau, and that one guy from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones made a case that bands could support a guy who just dances and doesn't actually do anything otherwise. But mixtapes? I'm probably forgetting something, but up until now, the only rock band I can name with [...]
One of my favorite Brooklyn bands, Small Black , have always dealt in pseudo-sluggish, druggy, atmospheric dance-pop. The type of electro-pop tunes that are best busted out amidst the beautiful slop of a sweaty, drunken dance party that has just begun its hilarious descent into late night, drug-induced high jinks. But the band's newest release, Moon Killer Mixtape , is a slight departure from the youthful exuberance of their breakthrough EP and their more intricate but equally compelling and energetic follow-up, New Chain . That is to [...]
Today is 11/11/11 as I'm sure you know, and the celebrate, Brooklyn electronic quartet Small Black are releasing a free mixtape called Moon Killer . The word "mixtape" undersells it a bit in my eyes since these are all great songs and feature the likes of Heems from Das Racist, and sample the likes of Nicki Minaj. And, hell, it's free, there's absolutely no reason for you not to download it. Well, you can stream it first and see if you like it before you keep it. Check it out below. [...]

Small Black have shared a mixtape with the world, called Moon Killer , which you can listen below. It's a 11/11/11 mix, so give it a spin right now!
Numerologist and palindromist are already having themselves a hell of a day, but us music junkies have something to get excited about, as well. Brooklyn-based sampling synth-pop quartet Small Black have just released their new mixtape, Moon Killer . With sources ranging from Nas to The Carpenters, Nicki Minaji to Pere Ubu, remixes by Phonetag and Star Slinger, and two guest-spots from Das Racist's Heems, the tape should be more than enough to hold you over until the band's sophomore album, due out spring 2012. Stream and/or download the whole thing below. [...]

Battlecat At the risk of excluding forgotten pioneers, you can trace the local roots of LA hip hop production to five names: Dr. Dre, Joe Cooley, Egyptian Lover, Arabian Prince, and DJ Battlecat. The latter broke in as a 16-year old DJ in the early KDAY era and remains one of the most influential architects of West Coast rap. When Snoop went into the studio last month [...]
A random YouTube user uploaded this self made video for Small Black's new song "Moon Killer" with the note that it was "edited for the enjoyment of my wife and family". That was the plan until the band took notice this morning and posted it on twitter. The band's new mixtape of the same name drops this Friday. MP3 // MOON KILLER
Small Black recently released the title track from their forthcoming mixtape, "Moon Killer," which is set to be released on November 11th. Take A Listen: Moon Killer from Small Black Download: Moon Killer
We heard "Two Rivers" a couple weeks ago, here is another teaser from Small Black 's mixtape . "Moon Killer" does not feature a steady rap flow from Heems but it has a steady flow of what we love from Small Black, synthetic chills. This mixtape will be available on November 11th and after speaking to Small Black during CMJ, Josh (singer) coincidentally loves the number eleven. That said, Moon Killer is a free mixtape. We are waiting anxiously, but feel free to enjoy the next 5 minutes. Download: [...]
B-boys, producers, or funk aficionados...when it comes to breaks, few are as celebrated as the Hihache drums, a distinct kick /snare with a hi hat that draws to resemble the name of the song (IMO). Perhaps the breaks popularity is due to their conspicuous placement at the beginning of a funk burner, easy to spot, juggle or loop, or perhaps it due to their ability to take on multiple personalities and fit the mood; likely a combination of the two... the result is the same, the foundation of some of the most loved classic hip hop songs, and maybe more [...]
Tweetvaso link Last week Small Black released the first track from their upcoming mixtape entitled Moon Killer, and yesterday they sent around the title track from it.
