MC Solaar : Caroline [ purchase ] I was cool, sitting on a bench. It was springtime. For a genre so dependent upon lyrics, not many rappers have the nerve to be lyrical. There are, to be sure, many MCs who are possessed of a deft turn of phrase and verbal skill, but true poetry is a little harder than that. The blame can't really be placed at Hip-Hop's door: popular music isn't really about literary cleverness, after all. Perhaps it's something to [...]
A lost set by the late DJ Mehdi , recorded at Stones Throw vs. Ed Banger on March 6, 2009 at Le Bataclan in Paris, has been posted on Soundcloud. Born Mehdi Favéris-Essadi, DJ Mehdi, who accidentally fell from the roof of his Paris home and died on September 13, 2011, earned a global reputation by producing killer club tracks and collaborating with the likes of Daft Punk, Cassius, MC Solaar and Chromeo. The timing of the mix's release comes as a tribute mural to DJ Mehdi has gone up at Grand Central in Miami [...]

Supdafuh - Act of Faith Ft. CL Smooth (Smooth Jazz Mix) Buy The Digital Version or Order the Vinyl on Bandcamp With the legendary CL Smooth and incredible underground sensation Eternia, Supafuh strikes back in 2011. The French artist of the MC Solaar's (french dopest MC of the 90's) school set the bar very high, after a year 2010 already hyper-active (an EP and his first album 10 ANS TROP TARD). With its evocative title, the 12 "vinyl JUST [...]
C'est un peu par hasard qu'a été découvert Cymande dans un club du Soho londonien au début des années 70. Le producteur John Shroeder qui travaille pour la vénérable maison Chess Records est à la recherche d'une nouvelle signature rock pour son label, mais le groupe qui devait jouer annule et est remplacé au pied levé par une formation d'origine caribéenne qui joue un mélange de reggae, soul, deep funk et calypso . Schroeder signe Cymande un an plus tard sur Janus Records, une division de Chess Records, [...]

Guest Writer: Olivia Harrington July 14th marks a special day in France, Bastille Day. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille, an iconic moment in the French Revolution. So here across the pond we've decided to list our top 10 French musicians who have managed to storm America's musical landscape. #10 AIR Staying true to their name, AIR produces ambient electronica showcasing ballads with synth-soaked rifts. While sometimes met with criticism, AIR has managed to find their niche in the form of film scores. [...]

Après un morceau de Philippe Zdar proposé dans l'article ED BANGER RARITIES, Cassius est de retour en force sur Electrocorp, avec un article consacré au groupe. J'ai tenté de dénicher quelques morceaux plus ou moins anciens de ce duo mythique de la french touch, afin de vous faire découvrir autre chose que leurs hits. 1996 - Cassius - Foxxy Lady (9220" EP version) 320kbps "Alt" Premier morceau officiel de Cassius, parut sur le mini label Cassius [...]
[Photo by Guy Sargent] All of these tracks deserve their own separate post. Keep that in mind. Here is a short list of my favorite songs at the moment... Enjoy. Thiago Pethit: Fuga Nº1 [zshare] I love Portuguese. And I love Beirut. So this song became an instant favorite. Menahan Street Band: Tired of Fighting [zshare] I have to thank Soul Sides for getting me into this group. THANK YOU! I've been listening to [...]
"Rap music is the only vital form of music introduced since punk rock." - Kurt Cobain J'aurais pas formulé ça comme Kurt mais oui, le rap est aussi puissant, important, enthousiasmant que le punk. Plus généralement, la culture hip-hop n'a aucune équivalent, elle embrasse des tas de disciplines. Le hip hop va bien plus loin que le rap, contrairement à ce que la plupart des gens continuent de croire, tout en ignorant l'un des mouvements culturels les plus importants de ces 30 dernières années. Le fait que les deux termes soient plus ou moins interchangeables y est [...]

In celebration of the Croc reopening, for some reason, I spent more time than I probably should have this morning thinking about my favorite songs about reptiles. Please note- "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John was a deliberate omission, both for being obvious and trite and for the fact that I hate that high pitched laaaaaaaa-lalalala. Ugh, it's like a drillbit in my ear canal. Yes, I'm sure this makes me a heathen and perhaps, dare I say, a "Cold Hearted Snake" (ooh, ah, ooh, ahhhhhh...)? read more
the french house sensation cassius are definitely no newcomers in the game. look at the picture, and you'll think i mistakenly put up a picture of some random european metrosexual OG's. nah, dude. that's them. and they rock. the dynamic duo got started producing paris' MC solaar back in '98. i remember being in middle school and somebody hipping me to solaar. i didn't know what he was saying, but i could tell he was going hard. and now i know where his ill beats came from. anyway, a few years later, they wanted to advance [...]
We'll begin with Cassius, two hombres who started working together in 1988, Philippe Cerboneschi and Hubert Blanc-Francard (better known as Philippe Zdar and Boom Bass), who set the tone for years of french electro-house to come. They originally started producing beats back in the early 90's for french rapper MC Solaar (also definitely worth checking out) and that hip-hop influence is still super prevalent in a lot of the music they make today. Cassius and Daft Punk together in my opinion ignited an entire genre of music and this is only a taste of the variety of music that Cassius [...]

Si confermano gli Ac/Dc. La band anglo-australiana è in vetta praticamente in tutta Europa con l'album Black Ice, a testimonianza di come la loro musica davvero abbracci orde sterminate di fans. Per il resto la classifica di vendita dei dichi in Europa segnala da noi il previsto primato di Giusy Ferreri, col nuovo singolo "Novembre". Tiene bene anche Pink , sia con il singolo "So what", parecchio suonato anche dalle radio, sia con l'album, che è in testa in Olanda e va bene un pò dovunque. Si rivedono nelle classifiche le [...]
and what a message i have, i cant stand having some sort of cough or sickness. so far i've been bed ridden mainly because of my foot and now i have a sore throat, whatever no one cares haha now for my joy. Cymande - what a great group, bringing us hits like brothers on the slide and BRA. formed in London England around 1971 , they mixed a form of calypso jazz music and American soul. too bad they disbanded 4 years later. i bring to you their initial single "the message" sampled by masta ace "me & the [...]
