There are few people in this world that have a musical taste I can truly trust. After working with him for years now on Potholes, our Art Director Theodore Taylor III has become one of those people. Not only does he have a great taste for music, but his design and art is on another level. Since he puts so much hard work into the site on a regular basis, we thought it would be a good idea to let you all get to know him a little better. Along with a killer mix of tracks that he put [...]
Soundcrash are killing it recently. What, with lineups including Hexstatic and Teebs and Samiyam, they've booked another stellar lineup for April... Daedelus is back in London and he brings... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
I've always appreciated the sounds of "Taylor McFerrin" son on the noise maker Bobby McFerrin. Taylor keeps to the family tradition using a beatbox technique to his soul roots. Much like his father in the 80's, Taylor is one of those soul artist a "Crate Digger" will bring in conversation. To give you some idea on this mans status. Don't sleep on his music.
If you haven't already seen, heard, or downloaded; Brainfeeder put out a free sampler earlier this week containing a track from each of the amazing members on its team. I was going through it and there is one track on this piece that I had not heard yet, while the others I had already listened to countless times already. The stunningly strung-out instrumental from Taylor McFerrin's , 'Place In My Heart feat. RYAT', is yet another Brainfeeder tune for the books, hence its place alongside the best of best from the label this past year. So beautiful. [...]
C'est tout de même classe, le label Brainfeeder qui fait parti de mes favoris depuis maintenant pas mal de temps a remporté le prit « Label Of The Year » aux Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards en ce début d'année. A peine une semaine plus tard le label lâche un free sampler, « Brainfeeder Sampler » pour remercier les fans sans qui ils n'auraient remporté ce prix. C'est donc avec plaisir que vous pourrez écouter les titres d'artistes dont la majorité ont déjà fait leur apparition sur le blog. Je parle de [...]
Brainfeeder have just won the Label of the Year award at the 2012 Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards and to celebrate, they're giving away a free 12 track sampler! There are goodies on there from Thundercat,
If you think Justin Timberlake is a good beat-boxer, wait 'til you hear Taylor McFerrin (yes, son of Bobby McFerrin). I was finally able to see him perform live on Tuesday night at a CMJ showcase at Le Poisson Rouge. Fantastic, pretty much sums it up. His solo performance, although super short in length, brought together funky, fresh, and fun and made the 20 minutes so much more worthwhile. He then made appearance during Jose James' performance. These two make a truly powerful duet of neo-funk-hip-hop. I am most fascinated by Taylor's beat-making skills, and his ability to create music [...]
With the last dribbles of sunshine plopping through our wanting and slightly tanned, but quickly fading skin, we can all start to take a more solemn view of the world for a couple of months. It's those weekends where going out, rain sodden and freezing from a biting wind seems like something you definitely do not want to do when compared with a warm Friday night in accompanied by a bottle of wine and an unobtainable crush on the box. Ahhhh winter, how I love theee. With all that to look forward to lets look back at a couple [...]
Split between the cities of Cork and Dublin, the Rhythm Weekender is host to over 30 acts in nine different venues, some of which are entirely free. The festival will commence on Thursday the 18th of this month and finish on Sunday, four days later. During that time the two cities will be graced with a wide range of artists, everything from heavy electronic behemoths to quiet sombre delights. There's plenty of crowd bringers on the line-up like Modeselektor, Cut Chemist, and Plaid, but here's some of State's select acts: Introducing - (Friday, Button Factory, Dublin) [...]

Brooklyn jazz musician/beat-boxer Taylor McFerrin - aka the son of living legend Bobby McFerrin - has delivered what just might be the best thing you'll see today. Dude linked with the folks at Rocawear to deliver this awesome rework of Jay-Z's classic single, "Can't Knock the Hustle". The track now features minimal bars from Jay, whose rhymes have mostly been replaced by otherworldly synths and keys. Oh, and some pretty gnarly beat-boxing. Hit the skip for the video.
Before you ask, yes, Taylor McFerrin is the son of 10-time Grammy Award-winner Bobby McFerrin, aka Mr. " Don't Worry, Be Happy ." Now that we have that out of the way, let's focus on what the younger McFerrin is doing here. The Brooklyn native has built a pretty solid following thanks to his clever approach to combining jazz and hip-hop sounds with a heavy use of keys, synths, and beat-boxing. At least, that's exactly what he is doing here in this crazy-cool rework of Jay-Z classic "Can't Knock The Hustle" for Rocawear . McFerrin beat-boxes the drums and [...]
Mndsgn-Hernumerxledge Download audio file (HerNumerxledge.mp3) I can't believe I have done 13 of these compilations already! 13 is actually my lucky number, so it makes sense that this one is one of my favorites among the recent volumes I've put together. Let's get lucky together. All you have to do is give it a gander and let me know what you think! P.S., whenever I check the download count for these and see hundreds and hundreds, it really makes me smile. I'm glad you appreciate my musical aesthetic. Tracks and [...]
Now that July 4th has come and gone, continue easing back into reality and revisit June with Quit Mumbling. The month had plenty of sunshine and equal amounts of gloom. QM accounts for both in our latest mix. Quit Mumbling / June Mixtape
If you're a fan of the good vibrations of Bobby Mcferrin (most famous for his 1988 hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy" ), then I have no clue if you'll like his son Taylor's music, as they sound absolutely nothing alike. This stellar track from his recent Early Riser EP is kind've everything you'd want in a summertime chiller. Its production is restrained the whole time, allowing the various elements of the song to whisper their way to the front and sulk to the back, creating a proper feeling of tension that precedes an emotional buildup that doesn't [...]
So there's a wedding and some kind of religious festival on the way over the next couple of weekends ay. That's nice no? The weather looks delicious, people are happy and smiling sundresses and flip flops are go! What more could we possibly need out of life. Well personally I want a swimming pool but with fresh salt water and a tiny scaled down live elephant that I can ride through the streets of London wearing a sombrero and humming ricky martin " la vie da loca "to myself. Short of that I'm looking at Cable on Sat [...]
Recently I was introduced to Red Bull Music Academy Radio which aims to record live sets from incredible artists all over the world and to release them online for our auditory pleasure. While there are way too many broadcasts to choose from, and they're regrattably not downloadable RBMA radio is definately an interesting resource for new live music performances. With the help of a kind gentlemen over at Lost Art we may try to distill the immense selection down to a weekly 'best of' depending on reader response. Interested? Featured today is Taylor McFerrin , an American [...]
Пишу запоздало, но в воскресень е вечером это будет только лучше. Как вы уже, наверное, знаете, в пятницу вечером на радио Follow Me вышел гостевой микс от Big Echo. Постоянные читатели хорошо знают почти все эти композиции, может быть кроме ремикса Nosaj Thing на Malachai и мексиканской версии Brothersport. Лично для меня это был новый опыт и второй осознанно собранный микстейп, но, надеюсь, что получилось интересно. Скачать в 192 и 320 kbps можно там же . Большое спасибо Татьяне Андриановой и всему Follow Me Radio.

:dailchill: Today's delivery is brought to you by Taylor McFerrin . I'm a big supporter of having sex everyday but especially on the weekend. And, Saturday is here and there's no better day to do the deed and luckily Taylor's track is here to help facilitate it. The track I'm bringing to you today is called "Place In My Heart" which features the vocals from RyAT. Taylor's production is amazing but RyAT really brings the sexiness of this track to fruition. And just to give you a little background; Taylor McFerrin is one the artists signed to [...]
