Kuf Knotz has been making a name for himself throughout Philly's alternative hip hop scene. So far in his young career, Knotz has been a founding member of the BurnDown All-Stars crew and The Hustle, his own hip hop/soul collective. More recently, though, a solo career has taken front seat since Knotz dropped his debut full-length, BoomBox Logic, back in October. And since the release, Kuf Knotz has hit the show circuit hard, even hosting the "Boombox Collective" series at World Café Live. Tonight, he'll be looking to further promote his name in the hip hop scene [...]

Theriault CODY HALSEY wasn't quite apoplectic when he called last Friday, May 20, to complain that one of his properties was among 26 publicly targeted by Commissioner Nick Fish after an audit turned up troubling claims of racial and ethnic discrimination in Portland's rental market.

That roster—first obtained by the Mercury through a public records [...]

If you're a fan of that slow-building, epic-styled deep house à la Pional and John Talabot, you might just like Casino Times (a new music project between Joe Spencer and Nick Church (Get Your Geek On)). The comparison may seem a little strained - Casino Times's productions distinctively owe a lot to old school house. And here it's deep, soulful house - achingly wistful with those much-sampled Chaka Khan vocal snippets - but the light-footed beats and gently fluttering hats bring a modern, beautifully understated edge. It's delightful listening and thanks must go to Mush over at [...]
Staunch reggae fans are probably emerging from the haze and re-learning how to use their computers about now. What have these dub-heads been doing for the past couple days? Listening to the absolutely smashing Diplo compilation Riddimentary , of course ( read the details here ). In honor of this terrific release, Wobble Wednesday is going all dubstep+reggae this week. Turn up the bass and get these slow jams rollin. As always, ragey filth music formally known as dubstep will arrive at the upcoming Filthy Friday . Dubly and lovely, @Crimestein [Audio [...]
