Pay attention to this cat." -Cosign [...]

Had this tune playing as I woke up and wanted to share the goodness. I guess a white album tribute cd was released sometime in August '08 alongside MoJo Magazine. Japanese dummer Jimmy Takeuchi gives Beatles "Sgt.Peppers" a good morning funk makeover. MP3: Jimmy Takeuchi - Sgt. Peppers

The Flying Skulls Flying Skulls, Take Flight Check your radar good citizens, that blip you see fast approaching is none other than The Flying Skulls, a nu-school three piece that plays live improvisational dub-step, breaks, and electro! The group brings the future-soundz of the modern dance music studio and interpolates them through the filter of live improv. With an old school jazz ethos The Skulls combine their tightly-honed electronic and hiphop infused sonic orchestra in a most dirty and crunked-out way. Straight dope on these Flying Skulls guys? They're dirty. Dirty beats, dirty grimy [...]
Elaquent He is a beatmaker based out of Guelph / Toronto, Canada. Heard some of his material from the illvibes mixtapes and decided to check him out.

You can download the whole album at his Myspace . Check it out. Shits travelin'. MP3: Elaquent - The Love Artist:Elaquent Album:After Midnight [...]
KenLo Sussex Countain KenLo is a beatmaker from Ethiopia, on the eastern coast of Africa. But he's been listening to a lot of Detroit hip-hop lately, it appears. You can't blame him. In terms of interesting, neck-snapping production, it's hard to top cats from the Motor City right now. But KenLo gives it a great shot - his instrumental series, "Craqnuques," literally translates to "crack necks" - crafting angular, vinyl-scratchy bounce in "Orange," the fourth volume. If you didn't know better, you'd swear you were listening to J. Dilla, as a slap [...]

Diego Bernal Antipop There's a whole other territory nestled deep within the heart of Texas...a city within the city of San Antonio. You can try tracking it on your iPhone but chances are that there is no listing for "San Anto." The street corners are lined with palateras, taquerias, and every variety of mom and pop shop imaginable. This is the setting of Diego Bernal's story and the source material for his music. Although Bernal claims San Antonio as his home town, he spent much of his childhood traversing from home to Texas' Rio [...]
