"I have a summer mixtape/lp coming out this summer full of remixes and some originals all unreleased. I know the cumbia scene is getting really big now and [that] is really dope, but alot of the tracks on here are from traditional songs from Colombia and Mexico [and] still keeping alot of the culture and good vibes within the songs. This cd is definitely going to make you feel like its summer again!!" Sonora - " Memoria " img/guy.aroch
Spoek Mathambo & Mshini Wam - "Gwababa" (Don't Be Scared)
The Olympians - " Midnight Movement " Michael Leonhart & Avramina 7 - " Jaipur " New drop from Truth & Soul . Smooth inspiring grooves as per usual. img/didier.massard
Seclusiasis artist and Astreet famalams BD1982 dropped his album Let's Talk Math recently and it's chock full of atmospheric ambient off kilter hops, glitches, spacey synth-play and general goodness. And maybe I'm operating ignorantly based on the movies I've seen, and/or being subliminally informed by the knowledge of BD being based in Yokohama at the moment, but this record feels like the ill companion piece to a nighttime drive in Japan along a long winding road on the side of some mountain cloaked in fog. But with robots and now & laters and phasers and [...]

Old Money - "Kada Manja" Loosie from a scrapped project circa fall '09. The OG is by The Very Best from The Warm Heart of Africa , an album that (rightfully) made many'a "best of" list this past dec/jan. img/ nato.tuke
Earlier in the night my mind ran on Pop 'Africana - a visually stunning web magazine we featured back in 11/2008 . Apparently this random spiraling of thought was with good reason, as while the old links to the old version of the web-zine have been disabled, news of a re-launch for next month have surfaced. Can't. Wait. To tide you over, check out this video by Congolese artist Baloji that I've seen somewhere before on my global-blog marauding adventures, but was re-put-on to via PA. Check [...]
Their life, collapsed like unplayed cards, is carried piecemeal through the snow; Headboard and footboard now, the bed where she has lain desiring him where overhead his sleep will build its canopy to smother her once more; their table, by four elbows worn evening after evening while the wax runs down; mirrors grey with reflecting them, bureaus coffining from the cold things that can shuffle in a drawer, carpets rolled up around those echoes which, shaken out, take wing and breed new altercations, the old silences.

The vocals on this give me scrunchface. Taken from the freshly released Time Run Out EP by Starks & Nacey, available now on Juno . img/daniel.jackson

When it snows, there is a silence that lulls Lenox Avenue. There is a white noise that surrounds Black people in Brownstones. While walking to school Aaliyah immersed herself in the sound. She imagined that Harlem was a snow globe. The only upside to her world being shaken up was the way it made the snow fall. She noticed the somber solitude to each snowflake. "They fall as if in love," she thought to herself. In slow downward spirals, alone. If a snowflake is lucky they will find another snowflake to hold their hand. Then together, falling hard, [...]
What's good? My name's BD1982. I'd like to thank all A-Street crew for having me and big up Scheme for reaching out. I have an album out this month on Seclusiasis and wanted to share a couple tunes that inspired its development. My favorite record spot in Tokyo is Dub Store and has an amazing selection of 45's. These two tunes were my favorite finds in the summer of 2008. Michael Rose - " Bad Boys Version " (Taxi Sound, 1991) Ninja Ford - " Look & Kill " (John John, 1993) [...]
