DJ Haus has never been one to demand the spotlight. In an often crowded internet music landscape, the Hot City member and Unknown to the Unknown bossman has flown relatively under the radar while imparting superior sound design and quality throwback tunes on the masses. 2012 saw savvy releases from 5kinandbone5, Sinden and Palace on U2U and a dramatic step forward for Haus' rave indebted sound. The early 19902s rave era is still more of a tenuous fantasy in my mind than a concrete sound so I'm gonna have to take Haus' word when he says that he attempts to [...]

Maybe it's just one of the cosmic moments that I've finally cracked into my new copy of the DJ Shadow record, The Less You Know The Better , and only now finally get to the song "I've Been Trying" on the cusp of the end of Pink Floyd Week ... Or maybe it's just random that he's perfectly mixed in some of the "Wish You Were Here" classic into a soulful groove. I think I hear some Steely Dan in there, too... Related posts: [...]

The masses abandoned Shadow on The Outsider , when he attempted to recast himself squarely within the Bay Area hip-hop lineage - right where he's always belonged. Since he was a teenager submitting mixes to K-MEL, Shadow has been the definition of hip-hop: he takes influences from everything from forgotten records to found sounds to classic funk, and doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks about his frequent off-road experiments. So when the frosh-soph crowd that he wowed on Endtroducing and Brainfreeze abandoned him after his half-good hyphy jags with Keak Da Sneak, [...]

“When did I fall in love?” Danilo Plessow, known to the world of dance music as Motor City Drum Ensemble , echoes the question. Wearing the kind of smile that indicates true love, first love, the kind of love that will never leave you, he gazes upon a city park. A bunch of kids are playing catch. He was their age when he fell in love for the first time: with the beat. So he started playing the drums. That beat is his companion to this day. Having morphed through all kinds of [...]

New song from DJ Quik featuring Ice Cube, I really like the sound of this one. I'm always skeptical when older acts release new material but these two guys are part of the select few that still bring a fairly consistent level of quality.

Summer is not here just yet but that is not stopping DJ Drama from releasing one of his urban hits. Drama released "Oh My" last night on his radio show off his upcoming album, Gangsta Grillz 3: The Album . The Drumma Boy -produced track features Fabolous , Wiz Khalifa and Roscoe Dash . "Oh My" is very much in the same vein as the other Hip-Hop/Rap tracks dominating the urban charts. It's right for "that" type of setting and y'know, Roscoe Dash just seems like the go-to guy for choruses. [...]

My new friend, Juke master DJ Trentino , kindly informed me he has a new single out called 'Spectrum'. The new EP boasts complex drum patterns and ghetto house jiggery-pokery. It seems recently the new breed of Chicago producers (Spinn & Rashad, Murderbot, Threezy, Trentino, Maddjazz, etc.) are bringing things back to their city, the birthplace of house. This new single from Trentino is another step in the resurgence of juke and footwork music as kicks and snares begin to eclipse bass music on both sides of the pond. [...]
