Recovery Mix I've been super sick lately, and the frequency of posting here has suffered. While sleeping off the headaches, I found myself listening to the Hula Dream Mix that I posted a few weeks ago. In an attempt to create a sequel mix, I ended up with something much different. I'm not really sure what to name the resulting Hump Day Power Play (but it did help in my recovery). Hear it by simply clicking here . Playlist is below. :: Hump [...]

The weeklong Together festival took another step forward with a dizzying week of concerts, parties, workshops and film showings that drew an estimated 20,000 fans to dozens of venues across Boston and Cambridge. With an impressive lineup that included Photek, Dubfire, Nero, Starkey, Poirier and RJD2 (pictured above), to name a few, the festival — now in its third year — forged several new partnerships with top EDM labels that bodes well for the event moving forward. Tastemaking labels !K7 and Ninja Tune threw showcases while Astralwerks used the festival for its New England premier of [...]

Blue Sky Black Death. The name may sound dark (or emo) to some, but for your own sake don't judge too quickly. Made up of producers Kingston and Young God, this duo has been spitting out hip-hop instrumentals since 2003. In 2011, BSBD released "NOIR," which, after months of debate and inner turmoil, I have decided is the best album of 2011. BEST you say? YES. From beginning to end your ears are graced with everything from southern guitar solos to choir samples, all paired with clean, familiar hip-hop style beats. Not enough people know about BSBD, but their production [...]

Not really shootin RJD2 just totally enjoying his set. Whateva. (Taken with instagram )
While I am a fan of every track on this list, this is not a typical "best-of" or "KG's favorites" list. These tracks may not be the first bit of recognition the artists received, but each song I've chosen here has had an immense impact on the artist's career following the single. So think of this more as a "Put Them On The Map" list. [...]
"Below are eleven tracks that encompass both who we are and where we're headed. It is comprised of artists we both look up to and strive to align ourselves with. It is a mix perfect for both driving up the coast and traveling through time. We hope you enjoy." - Das Tapes Download the 11-track [...]
STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9) has now been on a journey of both miles and musicianship for over a decade. Formed near Atlanta, GA, the five-piece "jamtronica" outfit has performed for countless fans across the globe, but the gentlemen have always had even higher expectations for their progressive electronic jams. STS92s current "Great Cycles Spectacles" showcases the band's longtime fascination with time and space, combining an overwhelming visual experience with already visceral aural explorations. Prior to the activation of STS92s new setup, DJ-extraordinaire RJD2 hit the stage of Chicago's Congress Theater, equipped with four-turntables and [...]
Tweet vaso link This song is not new. It's from 2002, but it's still fucking brilliant. And I wanted to share it again, because it came up on shuffle on my iPod today and reminded me of how awesome it is. RJD2 is one of the best hip hop producers ever. Sincerely, ever. His debut album, released on Def Jux, is titled Deadringer , and I really can't recommend it enough. And his 2002 collaboration with Copywrite remains one of my all-time hip hop highlights. [...]

You can catch him on Soundcloud or Facebook A Day In The Life - The Beatles - VOODOO FARM Remix - Right click/Save link as to download. Click on play arrow to the left of song [...]
