This past December, the good folks at Blisswave routed a tour of the Pacific Northwest that would make any underground hip-hop head anywhere in the world salty with envy: Guilty Simpson headlining backed by his longtime friend and collaborator House Shoes, supported by Samiyam and Knxwledge. Yours truly was lucky enough to tag along as an unofficial roadie and official blunt roller. In a smokey European-style van, we trekked from San Francisco to Seattle, making stops in Sacramento and Portland along the way. The shows went well; the crowds were enthusiastic, responding well to the rap [...]
It may seem like only yesterday that we were waxing lyrical about the latest release on Futureboogie by Waifs & Strays and that's because it literally was. Hot on their heels is Glasgow producer and now Bristol resident Marco Bernardi . Known for his analogue acid and electro influenced sounds on the likes of Clone and Rawax , this EP has a softer approach more akin to early Detroit techno. It's fair to say that all of his productions are a buy on site type purchase and this [...]
Flashmob ft. Laila Walker- Pieces (Garage Mix) For the next few minutes you’ll be taken back to a dark Detroit warehouse in the mid 90’s. With this latest release, Italian duo Flashmob have made a valiant effort to bring back the glory days of acid house. Featuring the vocals of Laila Walker, ‘Pieces’ is a nostalgic track that will be released on Defected Records on Feb 18. This isn’t the normal kind of sound you’d expect from Defected but we welcome it with open arms.
La revista Juxtapoz -estrechamente relacionada con el skateboard y el street art - realizó una subasta en el 2009 en beneficio a Power House Productions una organización de Detroit sin fines de lucro la cual estableció un programa de residencia para artistas en un barrio previamente embargado, en donde ayudaron los artistas Swoon , Retna , Ben Wolf , Richard Colman , Mónica Canilao y Oh Saelee, que pintaron las casas. La iniciativa espera mejorar la vida de varios además de la [...]

A dreamy, nostalgic sound makes Culture Kid the type of group you’d expect to see on stage at Coachella.
Mak & Pasteman give away a detroit house style number taking things that little bit deeper...
Detroit. Once America's promising haven for economic growth and prosperity has since fallen into a dismal free-fall of despair and deprivation. A symbol of America's industrial might in the 19502s, during the decade Detroit held the countries' highest median income and the highest rate of home ownership. Unfortunately, the past sixty years haven't been as kind to the Motor City; the decline and relocation of the American auto industry from Detroit to Mexico and other countries offering cheaper labor costs left the city in dire straits. With the loss of industry came the loss of jobs, and with [...]
![[Video] FowL: “2012 Blues”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4698834_lg.jpg)
It seems like Ruby Hornet might have a found a fan in FowL, as "2012 Blues" borrows Million $ Mano's production from " Something New " as a backdrop. Hailing from the other side of Lake Michigan, the Detroit MC wraps up his year in rhymes, delivering it to us in the visuals for "2012 Blues", directed by Pierre Blake. FowL might have had the blues in the past year, struggling as many artists do and fighting an uphill battle,, but the year also heralded much success for the MC. The release of his Tell Tale LP received [...]
Carl Craig's 2012 took him across the globe in search of new sounds.
Oh…the sexy, funky and dirty year of 2012 is nearly over! We survived the Aztec Apocalypse , Obama won a second term (saving us from Mitt Romney Apocalypse ) and Swedish House Mafia split up, saving us from further disasters, for the time being. Below a raw, funky and sexy best-of-list, many of them an integral part of Bacid record bag during 2012. Be well, meditate, and don´t believe the hype! Robert Hood – Motor Time Nightworld 3 – Music Man records The man, the myth, the legend. His first [...]
An new name for one of Atlanta's less-hyped but undoubtably diverse selectors, Woodlawn . Having previously contributed mixes to Percussion Lab , and his own Heat ATL as Inferno is no stranger behind a set of decks. After taking most of 2012 off from focusing solely on music, he returns as Woodlawn with this mix announcing his upcoming Sweat Collective , additionally appearing at the Atlanta monthly Hunger, and will be playing again in January [...]
Here's some dubby techno goodness by DeepChord's Rod Modell. According to Discogs, 350 copies of Movement were originally pressed in 2003 and another 60 copies were reissued in 2006, so this 12" is tough to come by. Keep your eyes peeled for a copy - all four mixes are super heady delights. CV - Movement (Another Mix) Mediafire • YSI • 2003 --- Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/shawnryan

With a guitar on his back, a book of songs in his pocket and the promised glamour of stardom, Brendan Benson left the land of Jack White and Chrysler for mighty Los Angeles . Unfortunately, the Detroit-native classicist was welcomed with the abrupt news that Virgin records would be letting him go. Subsequently, the magic of his 1996 poorly promoted debut album, One Mississippi, wouldn't be discovered until five years later when his sophomore effort was released under the name Lapalco . Both at least fantastic albums, but One Mississippi soars [...]
Orion Fest 2012 ( more by Dana (distortion) Yavin ) Metallica debuted their Orion Music & More festival in Atlantic City last year, which saw the legendary thrashers playing two of their albums in its entirety while a lot of indie/alternative rock bands (and also other metal bands) played throughout the day. The festival was great and we were excited to hear they'd be doing it again, however it's not going to be as close to NYC this time. They just announced that [...]
In Detroit there is Big Sean... and there is Guilty Simpson. For many reasons both emcees do a good job each representing the sentiments of Detroit, but let's just say Guilty & Apollo Brown have found the holy grail. Whenever these two link, they emit nothing but the blue collar attitude that swerve's in and out of D-town. Hit the jump for today's offering "Parkour" a bonus track from their recent collab effort Dice Game . Parkour (Bonus Track) by Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson
