M.I.A. tiene nuevo álbum bajo el brazo, 'Matangi' El dúo de productores londinense Radioclit , reclutó a Santigold y a M.I.A. para que cantaran en su canción llamada "Get It Up", aunque esta colaboración es de hace un año, los productores la sacaron a la luz y en descarga gratuita. Esta pieza está cargada de ritmos africanos y además de contar con las vocales de las dos antes mencionadas, podemos escuchar un coro característico de la música de ese continente. Tambores, percusiones, arreglos vocales, e incluso siblatos, todo eso dentro de "Get [...]
When Europop engineers Radioclit first teamed up with Malawi's joyously vibrant songster Esau Mwamwaya to endow all open of ear and mind with their Warm Heart Of Africa LP in '09, its thirteen tracks translated to an outstandingly harmonious cross-cultural mêlée with each song jocularly, vivaciously jostling with those surrounding it. Mwamwaya's role was both vocal and concentratedly focal, with only the odd guest spot from ex-Dirty Projector Ezra Koenig and our very own conventional genre-eschewing mogul M.I.A. shading the Malawian's luminous ubiquity. MTMTMK , in respects divers, is therefore a rather contradictory effort in both tactic [...]

Grizzly Don Sinden has announced that he will be releasing a new EP on Mad Decent, entitled 'G Like Me', featuring the vocal stylings of Alabama's G-Side. On top of that, he's also unearthed a super old remix he did with Switch (back when he was calling himself Solid Groove) which you can listen to below. Surprisingly, (and I did look this up), this is Sinden's first solo release. Particularly staggering when you consider just how long he's been around, but it's always been partnered up with Switch or The Count. So [...]
