Hey ya'll. I'm trying something new here, making a mix and all. As long as Marc doesn't fire/murder me, this should be a monthly feature, so be stoked. What I've done here is thrown together 14 of my favorite tracks from the beautiful month of April. Any and all genres were up for grabs but O'm no professional DJ, and I'm not even using proper software for the job, so bear with me as I learn and improve for future mixes. But yo Junkies, because I'm so nice - I'll provide you with myriad forms of listening. [...]
![[MP3] Wolf Saga covers Frank Ocean](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4916952_lg.jpg)
Canadian synth head Wolf Saga is definitely becoming a big blip on our radar. He caught out eye (or is that ear?) last month with his track Reign At Night , a rapturous synthesizer opus. In-between producing wondrous original tunes Wolf Saga has indulged his love of recording cover versions with this new tune, as he performs Frank Ocean ’s Thinkin’ ‘Bout You . Wolf Saga, once again, treats us to waves of rich synths tempered with an R&B flavour. There’s something about the sound pallet Wolf Saga uses, the tones of his [...]
Frank Ocean se pone viajero en el vídeo de Lost, una de nuestras canciones favoritas de Channel Orange.
It was only my third gig of 2013, though Young Fathers' rice 'n' pea-powered Shacklewell Arms showing remains one of the finer evenings out of this one thus far. The off-kilt hip hop trio appeared to come of age there and then upon that most oily of stages, and an incontestable highlight came in the surprisingly refined form of a then unknown track as we now know entitled I Heard. You can hear it below, and combining the slow burn balladry en vogue at the moment having been favoured by all and sundry from Tyler, The Creator [...]
Frank Ocean - Pilot Jones (dickystixxx edit) Reminiscent of what Ryan Hemsworth did to Thinkin' Bout You , Toronto dude dickystixxx turns up the bass and adds some sweet 808s to my favorite track on Channel, Orange. A real nice, simple edit on this one - sometimes it's the little things. mp3: Frank Ocean - Pilot Jones (dickystixxx edit) |
Frank Ocean is reportedly releasing his Earl Sweatshirt assisted tune "Super Rich Kids" as his next single and Texas-born producer/DJ Bird Peterson decided to send out a remix of it. Now this track is already pretty much perfect the way it is and I wasn't sure what I would expect when listening to this, but I was surprised in a good way. The producer dubbed this his Way Too Sexy Remix where he picks up the pace of the tune and gives it more energy. Along with the remix he wrote, "Draw a [...]
Here's some new Frankie to tide you over until he finishes his sophomore LP, which is due out later this year. It is a b-side from the Channel Orange album, which is a shame because it really is top single material. Anyone else still got that album on repeat? Stream and download the leftover cut below. Frank Ocean – Eyes Like Sky And as an added bonus, we have Frank's Grammy rehearsal footage. He claims his ear piece was off that night which caused him to be slightly [...]
A previously unreleased Frank Ocean song has been circulating on social media and music blogs this morning. Last week, Ocean spoke with BBC Radio 1 about his forthcoming album, for which he has "10-11 songs" completed. "It’s another cohesive thing," he told BBC. "Bordering on a concept record." But this new song, "Eyes Like Sky", is apparently a leftover from the channel ORANGE recording sessions, a radio-ready acoustic-guitar-driven pop track. "I said have you ever seen a mountain / he said no but my faith could move those," sings Ocean. "He said he's watchin' [...]
En las últimas semanas hemos estado hablando del sucesor de channel ORANGE , el disco que ha catapultado a la fama a este artista. Precisamente por su gran éxito, hay un gran interés por saber cómo será su próximo trabajo. Por el momento, lo que sabemos es que tiene una docena de nuevos temas compuestos y que quiere grabarlos en lugares exóticos. Como desconocemos cuándo llegará el álbum, es una buena terapia escuchar una nueva canción de Frank Ocean , aunque parece que es una de las que no entraron en [...]
Frank Ocean touches upon his spirituality in the newly released "Eyes Like Sky," a leftover from last year's Grammy-winning channel ORANGE. Who's ready for the next [...]
Unreleased Frank Ocean anyone? The exact origins of "Eyes Like Sky" are unknown but the internuts are saying the guitar-laced track with a folk-feel is an extra from the Channel [...] The post Frank Ocean - "Eyes Like Sky" (Unreleased) appeared first on The Smoking Section .
When we spoke with Frida Sundemo a few weeks ago, she worried for the internet's brainwashing capabilities – of the reality that, in fact, so-called tastemakers can often so heavily influence opinion, that we are left unsure as to what we could and shouldn't like – let alone what we actually do or don't. And I often worry of the internet's endlessness – an abiding infinity pumping out more music in a day than we could fully appreciate in an aeon. How do artists therefore accrue any meaningful attention, and how do they ensure that their [...]
It's quite unmistakably en vogue to go reworking contemporary R'n'B tracks at the minute and whether that be David Longstreth's Dirty Projectors giving Usher's heady Climax a mildly radical once-over or AlunaGeorge redoing Frank Ocean's Thinkin Bout You, the results can prove somewhat inconclusive. So when 4AD's Montréal duo Purity Ring took to Soulja Boy's Grammy in the wake of the awards of the same name, the jury was bound to take its sweet time about it. Of course elements of hip hop, post-R'n'B , and so forth all factored into the making of Megan James and [...]
![The Hood Internet – Pyramidspeak (Purity Ring x Frank Ocean) [mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4748988_lg.jpg)
The Hood Internet leak a new track “Pyramidspeak,” a mash-up between Frank Ocean & Purity Ring.
If you're going to cover somebody, why not Frank Ocean? At least that's how Swiss Lips sees it. The Manchester outfit give the Odd Future crooner's soulful hit a nice electro-pop paint job. Download it below. MP3: Swiss Lips - "Lost (Frank Ocean)"
After some beef had risen a few months ago, Ms. Jackson hasn't been the only one deserving of an apology within the Outkast duo. Rap partners Big Boi and Andre 3000 have had some disagreements recently after 3 stacks was apparently too busy to record bars for his homie's Vicious Lie and Dangerous Rumors album and reportedly "had to do some Gillette shit". There were other disputes between the ATL team that fueled the fire but the flames were quickly extinguished after Andre apologized over his guest verse in T.I.'s Sorry [...]
Over the weekend, Big Boi let loose his remix of Frank Ocean and André 30002s sublime "Pink Matter." It isn't the mythical Outkast comeback we've all been waiting for, but it's close enough.

It's here. Big Boi drops a gem of a verse on Frank Ocean's track featuring Andre 3000, off Channel Orange. Let's hope 2013 is the year that Outkast actually decides to make some music.
This isn't exactly the Outkast reunion you hoped for, but we'll allow it on our iPods and replace this with the Big Boi-less version in our playlists. "Pink Matter" was already such a dope song and Big Boi's addition only makes it better. It really makes us wish Andre & General Antwan can find some time to get in the same studio together and see what happens. Stream/download the "Pink Matter" remix featuring Andre 3000 and Big Boi here and let us know your thoughts in the comments: [...]
Franky Baby made it happen. The remix for "Pink Matter" sees the reunion of one of the best rap duo's in the history of hip hop. A new Outkast album is well overdue, but luckily Big Boi is dropping solid albums in the meantime. Andre 3000 lays down some gem verses on various tracks, but not frequently enough. Let's be thankful for this everyone. FRANK OCEAN FEAT. OUTKAST - PINK MATTER (REMIX)
