Just downloaded Gramatik's new album - Beatz & Pieces Vol. 1 - his first album on Pretty Lights Music record label. His mostly instrumental hip hop beats and breaks are downtempo oriented, very smooth hip hop vibes to accompany a lounge atmosphere or smoke-inspired session. I liken his style to Fat Jon the Ample Soul Physician, but not quite as smooth/sexy flavor - rather distinct vintage funk thrown in throughout a chilled hip hop tracks. He's an East Coast/NYC hip hop producer to follow for years - especially as as he rolls with the Pretty Lights Music label. Check his [...]

According to Jared Levy's vimeo page , "65 Graffiti artists from 13 countries descend upon São Paulo, Brazil for the 1st Biennial International Graffiti Fine Art Exhibition at the MuBE Museum." From this event, Levy created a documentary, which serves as a "conversation about graffiti with the artist themselves." Not only is a graffiti documentary right up our alley (what can we say .. urban art is dope,) but, the Pretty Lights Music label provided the entire soundtrack. While there is no official release date for the documentary (as far as we could find,) there will be [...]

After partying with Tristan Garner and Gregori Klosman last night in NYC (along with Jus Jack ), I was reminded of how big dirty electro music is in France. They stressed that there is not much demand in Paris for their brand of house, but artists like DJ Mehdi, Busy P, Surkin and SebAstian are freakin' huge! After doing some due diligence on the issue, I came across an interesting nugget of news. The world renowned label headed by Para One, 'Institubes' is no longer in existence. The record label was shut down recently and when it was, #institubes [...]

Sony Music Entertainment said in a statement, "We are disappointed that the locker service that Amazon is proposing is unlicensed by Sony Music, and we hope that...

Fans create an account on the site and download all the music [...]

Few pop culture bits have a higher daytime visibility than the so-called " dance over " on The Ellen DeGeneres Show - a segment where the 3-million-viewers-a-day talk show host, accompanied by popular music, shimmies over to her desk following an opening monologue. However, a group of record labels is looking to cut the music on DeGeneres' gangly gag. According to papers filed on Wednesday in Nashville's District Court, 17 labels have banded together to slap [...]

A screenshot from a blog where a covert link denoted by the symbols \ / yields a link to download the album illustrated. Illegal acquisition of music is, dare I say it, more common than purchasing music or borrowing it from friends. True, the iTunes Music Store is doing well, and eMusic and other services aren't doing too poorly themselves. But as we all know, CD sales are in the toilet and more and more, CDs themselves are disappearing from the shelves of stores like Borders as these retailers skulk off [...]
