![RoboCLIP – Level Up [Free Album]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4873445_lg.jpg)
Who doesn't love a good free album? Here we present RoboCLIP out of Salt Lake City's Level Up . A whopping twelve tracks in total, with a wide-range of elements Hip-Hop, Funk, Glitch, Chill-Wave, Ambient, Experimental, Rock and Pop…there’s at least one track in here every single person on this planet could get down to. It’s a fucking fantastic release; one of those you can hear in the club or in your car and it’s all just as awesome. And it’s out now. My favorite track off the album has got to be “Frothin’.” I don’t really [...]

A debut album from a DJ that's been around since the 80s. A lovely polished and relaxed journey through a range of contemplative styles. The album's out in mid-Feb. Listen to the whole album below. In my cliched way, I rather assumed that anyone called Hector Merida who has been around since '85 and namechecks Lil Louis and Frankie Knuckles is doing disco house or Latin house. Not so. This is electronic home listening. It's got elements of the great 90s home listening albums but with a chilled, confident style all of its own. The styles range from trip [...]
Nosaj Thing's sophomore album still has the soft, quaint sounds fans have enjoyed previously from California producer Jason Chung, but with a serious decline in the hip hop vibes that radiated so boldly off of 20092s Drift . WATCH THE REVIEW

We featured Vanilla earlier this year when he released his brilliant beat-based Hip-Hop LP, Soft Focus, and he's back again with some new aural delights in the form of this out-take/loose-ends collection. For what it's worth (heh) this is a genuine worthy addition to his back catalogue, rather than some loosely-tied mess that out-take collections can sometimes be. The albums artwork offers a clue to the sounds found within; these are beats and bleeps that call to mind hazy, sunset-filled evenings. Ever inventive snap-shots of chilled, [...]

This Shapiro Pale Ale is the hoppiest beer I’ve had in Israel (cameo by @sjk000) #beer #hops #paleale #ihaveabeer #beerstagram #israel

Say we give you an 18-year-old hip-hop artist from London, what do you think of? You’d be forgiven for assuming you’ve heard it all before, but there’s something different about ThisisDA. After releasing a string of singles that have gained critical acclaim from the likes of BBC Introducing and sharing a stage with De La Soul earlier this year, this teenage poet isn’t your regular rookie rapper. At times, his songs are full of energy, humour and soul whilst others get down to the nitty-gritty. We decided to have a chat with him [...]

Singularity is the young 20-year old San Francisco producer also know as Kyle Trewartha. The music he makes spans a variety of genres including Moombahton, Dubstep, Electro, House, and Glitch-Hop. All done very well with a sort of signature Singularity sound. He released his latest EP, " Breathe ", this week in a very cool way, dropping one track Monday, another Tuesday, one yesterday, and the final one today. Here is the release schedule and the tracks, all of which are free downloads... Breathe (MOOMBAHTON) – Monday [...]

Whenever I read a made up soundcloud genre like 'tropical space hop' from someone I haven't heard before I'm leery. DJ Price does not disappoint. Copped from the WFGC D J Forum .
This month's mix is inspired by my own contemplation of how great horns and horn samples sound in hip hop. Instead of wax rhapsodic about the great depth brass instruments can bring to hip hop, even for songs not trying to achieve anything close to a jazz sound, I'll just let you sit back on this Friday and let this horn-filled playlist move you. : Maestro Fresh-Wes - Another Funky Break : : Beyonce - Crazy In Love : : Black Moon - I Got Cha Opin : : Guru - Transit Ride : [...]
![[Video] Nas Speaks on Tracks From Life is Good](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4394569_lg.jpg)
Nas recently sat down with Muze Music and Cricket Wireless to discuss some tracks from his new LP, Life Is Good. In the short clip below, Nas breaks down “No Introduction,” “Daughters,” “Loco-Motive,” “Accident Murderers” and “A Queens Story," from the LP. From what I've heard this is a must purchase and it is Nas for christ's sake. Do It .

We are a little less than a week away from Nas's upcoming Life Is Good LP release, and it seems either Escobar himself, or some lowlife studio engineer has decided to drop another joint from the LP. Today we get "Summer On Smash" featuring Swizz Beats & Miguel. Not up to par with his No I.D. produced gem, but we all understand why that could be. Hit the jump for the track, and be ready for Life Is Good on July 17th. Nas: [...]

Low-life cohort, Jonwayne disclosed this fleshy heavy-hitter to his fans earlier today. Murky brilliance, in true cowboy fashion. Look out for Jon this summer, Canada. I have a sneaking suspicion he may be gracing you with his presence. "celebration for getting my own URL" - http://jonwayne.net/ Bless, Rader Tweet

Thievery Corporation ft. Chuck Brown ~ " The Numbers Game " Click here to view the embedded video. Yeah, its a DC thang! As a kid growing up in the DMV, GoGo shows were a rite of passage and always an unforgettable experience. The GoGo beat was unmistakably DC, and all Chuck Brown . It was such a downer to learn that the Godfather of GoGo passed away today. Wherever he's moved on to just got a whole lot funkier. [...]
