I'd tell you guys all the info about Payback that I know, but I don't know much. I know it's Danny ! 's next project, and is due out late September. Rumor is you should be able to decipher the guest appearances if you decode Danny!'s Tumblr . I'm also told that "Been Away Too Long", a cut from the project, should be out in "just a few days". #shrug - mum's the word until the word is spoken.
My first taste of NYC's dance-punk outfit The Rapture came through their single "Out Of The Races And Onto The Tracks," which I first heard back in high school. The jangly guitars, catchy dance riffs, and killer lyrics (i.e. "shake, shake, shake, shake") really turned me on to their sound, and after seeing them perform live, I was hooked. With the release of their 2002 debut Echoes , which featured the infectious single "House Of Jealous Lovers," The Rapture began to gain more ground in the music scene, and their live [...]

![[stream] DJ Spinna & BBE Soundsystem Present Strange Games & Funky Things Volume 5](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2781478_lg.jpg)
The Strange Games… series which began in the summer of 1997, represents the blueprint for modern R&B and rap music. It joins the dots between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mass market hip hop. This compilation contains a wide variety of styles of tracks, from classic dance-floor fillers as well as lesser known delights. A more accessible diggers delight if you wish with an emphasis on quality track and not just songs worth having for a two second sample. Conceived by BBE bossman Peter Adarkwah over 14 years ago, this fifth volume [...]

This past May marked the two-year anniversary of Camu Tao 's passing , but I got a bunch of info earlier today regarding his first (and final) solo album, King of Hearts , that will finally be getting released via Definitive Jux/Fat Possum Records on August 17th. The sound from these demos and home recordings is a departure from what you might associate with Camu - he's doing a lot more crooning on this, and the sound leans more to the leftfield ElectroPopPunk feel than the harder Hip-Hop edge he had previously been associated with. He [...]
