In other Midnight Ramble news, Helm will welcome guest openers Dr. Ralph Stanley (Dec. 2), Dawes (Dec. 3), Steven Bernstein's MTO plays Sly (Dec. 10) and The Mastersons (Dec. [...]

Hi Friends! Sorry for the weeks of silence, been kind of busy with different things, and been kind of lazy with music exploration. But anyway, I've got a bit of a disjointed but tasty post to bestow upon you fab kids. If I could I'd post 25 tracks from the Us Two Music label, but I'm limited to 2 so go attack Juno Download with your credit card to bathe in more FrenchHouseFunkyDiscoJams. A glorious label with glorious uplifting artists who all seem to have some kind of psycho-erotic connection with the bass guitar. [...]

Montreal based producer/dj Hatchmatik (part of the Peer Pressure crew) have been keeping things on the low lately and we've been anxious to hear his work ever since he blew us away with his Mixin' It Up back in december and some choice remixes that we've been jamming hard. Apparently, he's been busy working on a mixtape called "Bronzage" (which you should pick up from his MySpace, only 12 bucks), a slew of official remixes and a debut 12 (being relased by Coco Machete Records ). Here are two of [...]

Got a note from Carmine Filthy of Low Life, Inc. yesterday. Included within said email was a package of delights that I'm happy to share with you. MTO , otherwise known by the moniker, Alexandre Delaunay, was born in France became heavily influenced when first laying eyes/ears on Wu-Tang Clan on MTV and realized that was the music he wanted to play. He began making his own beats using old tapes and his dad's old turntable. Eventually, he found his way and started to produce [...]
