Vous connaissez tous le principe des Enfoirés en France, plein d'artistes se réunissent pour chanter ensemble ce qui donne un amas de célébrités plutôt important.Et bien 3rd Side Records , label parisien, a réalisé la même chose avec une palette d'artistes/producteurs/dj venant de divers horizons. C'est comme ça que nous pouvons trouver Bobmo, Alizée, Teki Tek, jamaica, Surkin, Para One, DJ Pone, Tahiti Boy, Das Glow , ... Au chant ou à la production de Such A Special Time , un titre de noël. Pour la liste complète c'est juste dessous : [...]

Only recognised Mike Ladd on this compilation but was enough to check it out. Great mix of indie Hip-hop, glitchy psych beats and fuzzy anti folk. Marathon Of Dope don't quite nail this vibe as well as Ghostly International but there's some true gems in here still. Download: Marathon Of Dope Compilation Vol 1 (requires email address)
The Ninjatune label is twenty years ago this year, and in September are releasing a slick 6 CD boxset with favorites and rarities. The artwork for the project has been done by openmind. Additionally a book, Ninja Tune: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces written by music journalist Stevie Chick will be available in August. [...]
Somewhere along the lines as slam poetry morphed into an iteration of power-struggle-from-the-street s hip hop a la KRS-One or De La Soul, yet another offshoot happened from the lake, where a stream headed out from the source and into punk...

Nostalgialator is one crazy, haphazard album where the sheer entertainment value manages to outshine any of Ladd's lyrical shortcomings. For this we can be grateful.

Mike Ladd - Trouble Shot (!K7 2004; re-released Def Jux 2008) Mike Ladd - Nostalgialator / Def Jux This has been out for over three years, so fresh assessment of Mike Ladd's Nostalgialator is impossible. That said, the ubiquity of blogs was a lot less prevalent in 2004 than it is now, so perhaps this good word will put out the word that much faster. Mike Ladd. This story starts with Mike Ladd. Ladd was not initially a musician, choosing instead the poetry route [...]

I t's time again for a new Festival City Radio ( num ber 97 ). It's a fairly normal episode at first, then Josh Jones from the Evangelicals drops by for a good talking to. He brought his guitar and plays a few songs from the new album for us too. This is some sweet stuff, there are even bouquets of technical difficulties and cats. N ew releases [...]
"After ten albums, it can be hard to keep your sound fresh. Not so for Mike Ladd, who has created his own genre—a mix of electro-rock, hip-hop, Afro-punk and psychedelic soul—and redefined rhythms and the concept of "flow." ... And while sonically, it's not hard to find a little bit of whatever you like in [...]

Just not impressed this week. I'm on my J Dilla shit in the headphones. Everything else is fugazi. If I can be arsed, expect a Phat Kat review by the end of next week. And a review of a mixtape I got in the mail the other day, by this cat named Dula-Mite . It has a dope cover. _____ leaky drawers. Three 6 Mafia [...]

In terms of self-coined genres, the result is often either overbearingly descriptive or shockingly accurate with no wavering point, especially when "Afro-" is the preceding article to a genre that is considered somewhat conventional in nature. Now, after the acclaimed funk-jazz collective Budos Band brought us a form of "Afro-Soul" earlier this year, Boston-based MCer Mike Ladd is making a name for himself with his apparent form of "Afro-Punk". One of the original artists on James Iha's (ex-Smashing Pumpkin) Scratchie/Mercury Records, Ladd has since written and produced 10 albums, all of which are presented in a [...]

mike ladd- "number 1st street" One of the stand-out tracks from poet-turned-rapper Mike Ladd's sprawling welcome to the afterfuture album, and a favourite of mine from back in 2000. Mike's off on some pretty mad tangents most of the time (check his infesticons vs majesticons stuff), weaving whatever takes his fancy (which is pretty far-ranging) into his lyrics and musical productions- his stuff ranges from spaced out soundscapes through hip hop to punk and thrash. He'd be [...]

Quelques morceaux beaucoup écoutés ces jours-ci, entre nouveautés et souvenirs tenaces. Un remix splendide pour commencer. The Honeydrips "Fall from a height" (The Field way) Soit la rencontre suédo-suédoise entre un groupe de pop twee prometteur et les responsables du meilleur album électro de ce début d'année ( "From here we go sublime" chez Kompakt), le résultat est profond et hypnotique à souhait.
