You may remember some time back I got rather excited about an upcoming collaboration between TOKiMONSTA and the truly legendary Ultramagnetic MCs founder Kool Keith . Well the wait is finally over as TOKiMONSTA's 'Half Shadows' LP has been released and we now have news we will be treated to an EP of remixes of the collaboration. It's become more and more standard for producers to blend half a dozen different styles and genres into just one track, so much so that the initial impact of TOKiMONSTA's decision to mix half-step, [...]

We don't mean to keep you from hanging on the line for that third Glassjaw album, but... you do know Daryl Palumbo's back, right? This time Palumbo's teamed up with Richard Penzone (last seen with ex-Glassjaw guitarist Todd Weinstock in Men, Women & Children ) for Color Film - yet another rebound into Palumbo's love affair with the 80s. This isn't the first time Palumbo's dabbled in synthpop, but where Head Automatica was strictly for the dancefloor, early tracks from Color Film indicate a more languid, laidback affair. [...]

XLR8R's resident house doctor, Nick Hook , has teamed up with Soo Wavey bosses Matrixxman and Vin Sol for a glorious three-track EP full of ghetto samples, frenetic beats and crisp handclaps. Taking their cues from the no-nonsense club music of Dance Mania and Trax, these three producers celebrate the golden age of ghetto house, albeit with slightly higher production values. Having said that, they do little to stray from the "drum machine + chopped vocal sample" formula that has been tried and tested over the [...]
![Nick Hook – Sirens ft. El-P and Rood [video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4681978_lg.jpg)
Sirens by Nick Hook is the driving bass and dark beats that nightmares are made of, capable of conjuring your deepest, darkest fears. Demonic shadows dance across the canopy of a backyard campsite while a small child possessed delivers the prose of El-P and Rood, adding to the ominous lunacy of the scene.

From his new, free EP that he released via Scion , here is a music video for Nick Hook's "Sirens." It's a playfully dark set of visuals featuring a girl lip syncing to rap verses as if she were telling a ghost story. She puts the perfect amount of emotion into her facial expressions as she mimics to verses rapped by El-P and Rood.

You're producer Nick Hook , you want to shoot a video for "Sirens", but you presumably can't track down both El-P and Rood for the shoot. So what do you do? You hire director Ryan Staake, that's what! Dude's vision for "Sirens" is one that's both cripplingly cute and terrifying, thanks to a girl who learns both rappers' verses and gets, well, kinda creepy. You can watch the clip below and thank me later for the nightmares. [ via ]

They played a good [...]
Heavily responsible for the grimy techno-soul of NYC’s Cubic Zirconia and the greasy bass of Drop The Lime’s live show, DJ and producer Nick Hook has been “twisting knobs” (self-description) for a minute now. He is no stranger to the dark underbelly of the late-night clubs, having played in some of the finest temples of boom the world over. His unique strain of acid-fried basslines and vintage drum machines have kept him in demand amongst a smorgasbord of musicians, as he is currently working with El-P of Company Flow and L-Vis 1990 of Night Slugs. Listen [...]
