Nobody Beats the Drum sounds like a dark electric circus meets Pac-Man. Hailing from the Netherlands, this three-piece electro group is made up of two producers and one visual artist. These talents are employed in their live performance as well as in their videos, all of which are produced in-house and expertly coordinated with the music itself. The one for "Blood on My Hands" depicts a seemingly harmless women on a cooking show as she starts preparing a cake. But as the music builds up, so does the action behind the kitchen counter. If you wan't to [...]

This Andre Lodemann edit came out of a Track ID discussion on Grindin' regarding the song at 22 minutes in Pompeya's Electronica Podcast . It's definitely on the obscure side of finding a gem but, in any case, large ups to Philip Disco Dust for the ID on this soulful number. Akabu - Another World (Andre Lodemann Mix) ( Beatport )
Clever wording to hide the sexual references. It was recorded in 1927.

Afrojack's followup year as a breakout house artist has yielded many great releases. Like Chuckie and Sidney Samson , the Dirty Dutch sensation has, in some ways, remained loyal to the sound that skyrocketed Afrojack into international fame. At the same time, he keeps evolving and maturing with every new track with even greater success than his fellow compatriots. A few months ago, Afrojack's collaboration with Shermanology, Grindin , made a stir on Pete Tong's BBC1 Radio. Shermanology (picture above) is a Dutch vocal/production team that received attention after Avicii's amazing use [...]

DIGGIN this new Afrojack music. Not the usual bleepy pitch bends that we have all come to love from Nick van de Wall, instead more of a laidback, groovy joint thats got a dope bassline. Out on his own record label, Wall Recordings , Afrojack collabs with Shermanology for this new joint called 'Grindin.' Enjoy folks. Download: Beatport

I could sum up this post in two words: CUBANA LUST Ha! But seriously, Parkay is back, and just wrapped his super glossy video for "Grindin" co-starring insanely popular video vixen Cubana Lust . Will Gates on the lens. Now that's Forilla. You've been warned.

The sweet sounds of fellow Grindin' member Finckobot have been emerging from Berlin for some time now and as one of the masterminds behind the Get Wavey parties he's brought in a ton of top dj's to wreak havoc on Wednesday nights in Berlin. Here's his latest mix that to put it simply - delivers the goods. Finckobot - It's Fall Dude Mix (Mediafire) Tracklist after the jump. Victor Magan & Francesco Sentis - Makumbaue (Sheeqo Beat Remix) [...]

Gene and Terrence Thornton know how to put on a show. The brothers Thornton (better known individually by their more street-savvy monikers of Malice and Pusha T, or collectively as the Clipse) have tackled their fair share of live shows during their careers, peddling their unique blend of coke-rap to the far corners of the globe . Mal and Push's globe trotting ways saw them land on European soil not so long ago (I think?), with the pair hitting the stage at the legendary Elysee Monmartre in Paris to give French hip hop fans [...]

I'm a bit late getting to this one but it comes via several members of the Grindin team. Evidently influenced by the emerging Angolan/Portugese/Latin beats, Nic Sarno takes on a style championed by Bok Bok, MIA and Buraka Som Sistema to name just three. I really hope there's more of this to come, it's really refreshing to see someone go a different direction. Especially when it's instead of Funky. Download: Nic Sarno - Mana Wasa

'Put another way, the lack of ability to draw on a completely blank slate means that we are more likely to create a generation of people who cannot reason from first principles; who cannot imagine the radically new and by extension are unlikely to solve some of our knottiest problems. What do you think? Are we losing our ability to navigate in the open ocean of thought?' - thanks to Thomas Hammering the Foals album on a daily basis as everyone should. And nuff love for Astronomer round these parts. [...]
