KRISTA brings together James Pants and Vex Ruffin. KRISTA is the new joint effort between James Pants and Vex Ruffin. The duo have released an official 'backstory' of just who this young lady...
James Pants and Vex Ruffin team up to bring you Krista! Look for their Space Tom Test 7" on Stones Throw Records!
Krista is a new collaboration by James Pants (production) and Vex Ruffin (guitar and vocals), executive produced by Peanut Butter Wolf, named after a possibly imaginary woman. They say, "Krista is a sophomore in college ... read more
Unfortunately someone in work has found some speakers and insists on using them; is there anything worse than other people's terrible taste in music? I've had to retire to bad headphones and old Boiler Room mixes; it's all I got in the office. I'm not allowed to stream anything so I loaded up a pen drive a while back. Still, this situation has meant that I didn't totally miss this bat shit mix from James Pants . Direct hot link to it on iTunes (I think)
Twitter lit up last night for the final leg of the presidential election, and we captured thirty of our favorite tweets from the music community during the saga. The comments range from sarcastic to heartfelt to befuddled and of course, congratulatory- and not just for America or Obama, but also the Romney band that had artists like El-P utterly mesmerized. Enjoy. x Walked up to my old elementary school to vote... "Call the crib, same number, same hood.. It's all good" — BLACK NOI$E (@blackxnoise) November 6, 2012 [...]
Here at Potholes we recognize the plight of the listener/reader to keep up with everything we post. Trust me, it's difficult enough for us to get all the music posted that we want to share with y'all. We just took on several new writers, including electronic fiend Will Salzer, and our boy John Healey has really stepped it up with the daily posting duties. And after give these matters some thought, we decided to put together a weekly wrap-up of what we believe to be the best downloads of the past week. I want to emphasize that word [...]
Robot Soup by Various Artists We are very proud to bring you the fourth entry in our producer showcase series. Robot Soup arrives but a few months after our previous release, Cosmic Island, which served as a follow-up to Space Toast and Midnight Snacks. And like those compilations, Robot Soup contains never-before-heard instrumentals from some of our favorite producers here at Potholes. It also revolves around a central theme of the cooler temperatures that have already made their way across the globe. We've gathered 17 tracks from a beyond-gifted and varied [...]
The Potholes family is proud to bring you Robot Soup , the fourth entry in our producer showcase series. The compilation arrives a season after its summer-themed predecessor, Cosmic Island , which served as the follow-up to Space Toast and Midnight Snacks and received over 2,000 downloads in its first two weeks. Like the other compilations in the series, Robot Soup contains never-before-heard instrumentals from some of our favorite producers here at Potholes, including the likes of Thelonious Martin , James Pants , Suzi Analogue , Elaquent , Kidkanevil [...]
Today's Mix/Cover/Live includes Mumford & Sons, Sharon Van Etten and James Pants.
Por alguna muy extraña razon, nunca les habia venido a dejar casi nada del trabajo de James Pants , y creo que este ha sido un tremendo error de mi parte, el cual no tiene perdon de deus. Pero bueno, aprovechando que acaba de poner en descarga gratuita un nuevo EP titulado " The Hotel Collection", el dia de hoy les hablare un poco mas a detalle del estilo que ha estado manejando este tipo en los ultimos años, ya que si bien llegaran a escuchar algunos toques futuristicos dentro de sus secuencias electronicas, tambien habra ratos en los [...]
![James Pants – Hotel Collection [EP]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4401431_lg.jpg)
Beat connoisseur James Pants delivers a random 10-track instrumental journey and we couldn't be happier. Hotel Collection doesn't just have ill beats, though, filled with off-kilter samples (maybe?) and slick drums. It also has perhaps the best description ever : "A 7-star collection for business travelers, high flyers, and power-movers." That's what Pants wrote about it and, you know what, we have to agree with him. Queue this one up next time you're flying high in the friendly skies. Or just...high.
Podcast: James Pants Boom Box Collection This weekend in at the Hamburg Museum of Arts & Science in Hamburg, Germany, Stones Throw artist James Pants opened the show "Boom Box Collection" featuring over 1800 of his own boom boxes, each of them in full working condition and powered up. James is currently living in Germany and released a statement when the planned exhibition was first announced, saying he had "sworn off collecting objects of any kind," and would donate his collection of boom boxes to the museum. This 34 minute [...]

Thanks to Stones Throw for providing us with such great music over the years. Here's some beats from James Pants compiled onto two different tapes: James Pants - California Download James Pants Beat Archive Pt. 1 I Told You Man, I Carry A [...]
Guys, I don't know how in the HELL I missed this one. Granted its only like 4 days old, but the fact that there was a PART ONE that dropped back in September that I missed completely makes me feel like I've had my internet head in my internet ass for the last few months. For this I apologize. Please don't do the fool like me and download. I'm going to go drown myself in my sorrows now. *facepalm* Download audio file (09-All-My-Love.mp3) JAMES PANTS - BEAT ARCHIVE [...]
What better way to round out the holiday season and kick off the new year than to launch Kick Kick Snare's first mixtape of 2012. Yes, it's that bloody good time of the month. And just because I said that with a British accent doesn't mean we're crass or putting on airs...for it really is an awesome time for me every month to see the handpicked collection of songs selected by our four writers in four different cities. I always love seeing the variety between Kent, Wes, Ed and me. For the five months or so [...]
If you've been even remotely regular in following this blog, our number one shouldn't come as a surprise - I believe I've already bothered you enough with my love of Gang Gang Dance's latest effort (and GGD in general ). I'll leave the list unnumbered because, except for the first 7-8 entries, the rest come in kind of (but not entirely) particular order. And it's not a strictly albums -of-the-year list, as I've included some mixtapes/remix albums/ compilations. Also, I just realised we haven't covered half of this on the blog… Don't [...]

Leave it to James Pants to turn Daedelus 's "An Armada Approaches" into a funky, future ballad. Mr. Pants showed us he's human by releasing a collection of harmless boombap beats . His remix isn't so harmless, but fearless. Where the original was vast, often exploring genres bouncing from one sound to another this mix pushes the funk to the forefront. I think this is a sweet little track that'd work for any "END GAME" credits scene. Hit the skip to listen. Daedelus - An Armada [...]
Dublab? Stones Throw? Daedelus? James Pants? Symmetry? Mandatory posting implied and explanation unnecessary. I am nothing if not congruent (caveat: this may be a Geometrical term that I do not fully fathom). Pants takes Daedelus' "An Armada Approaches" and turns it into intelligent yacht music. The official title is the "Cruise from Here to the Afterlife Remix, conducted by the James Pants Sea Faring Orchestra." Do you think that Rick Ross only listens to Lex Luger symphonies and Barry White records. No. Sometimes, he meets hipster girls with asymmetrical haircuts at Wing Stop (they have vegan options) [...]
