And the Dilla tributes continue. This one, however, isn't over a Dilla beat, but actually a Charlie Beans soundscape. I'm also going to plug my Complex interview with Peanut Butter Wolf , who I spoke to about Dilla's estate, the possibility of releasing a follow up to Donuts , and his shelved MCA album. He also shares some never-before-seen pictures from their times together on Stones Throw. Also check out my Top 50 Dilla lis t for Complex if you missed that as well. Chicago veteran VISUAL teams up with frequent [...]
Visuals are a big part of the Tycho live show and I'm often asked how they were created and presented in a live setting. The answer is VDMX, a modular video performance platform. For those of you familiar with video editing / effecting, you could think of it as a stripped down, real-time version of After Effects where every parameter is controllable via various protocols (MIDI, OSC) and even by other parameters. It can mix multiple sources using blending modes like multiply and color burn all while utilizing Quartz Composer effects. [...]
Born in Moscow but now a current resident in Brooklyn, visual and music producer, Slava Balsanov aka Slava has an upcoming release on the paired Mexican Summer and Software label. Slava unleashes a syrupy post-footwork jam entitled, 'I've Got Feelings Too', which will be featured on his Soft Control EP, out early this coming February. Its barely the end of the first month in the new year and there are already a vast amount of artists racing towards this emerging up-bass juke structure in their compostions of sound. [...]

Look forward to the upcoming Staygold LP, which has been more than a long time coming. Some of you might recognize this song from the Swedish P3 Gold Awards, where Spank Rock and Damien Adore appeared, and Robyn sang Lady Tigra's part. This album has got to be one of my favorites of the last 5 years, and I can't wait until it is properly released (on Magnetron Records home of acts like Le Le), so I'm not the only one raving about them all the time. Sleeping is for cats, people. ps. If you've forgotten the [...]

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO seijun suzuki is my favorite song of Blue Scholars last project, "Metropolis" is great to see equally awesome visuals, attached to the dope sounds. This video was filmed in Los Angeles on October 15 and 16 during the Southern California leg of the Cinemetropolis tour. We had been talking with our guy Jon Jon Augustavo for over a year about collaborating on a music video sometime before he finishes film school and blows the f up. [...]
It's difficult to pin Breton down. As far as pigeonholing them to one particular genre is concerned there's no hope, from house beats to guitar riffs, they're about as eclectic as it gets. Equally challenging however is putting your finger on exactly what it is that makes them so alluring, somehow it all just works. As if the music wasn't enough Breton or BretonLABS as the collective tends to be termed, indulge in visuals just as much as the they do audio, their live shows as memorable for the backdrop of self-shot videos [...]
Feels like I'm jumping on the bandwagon with the following artist, as he's been praised by every single blogger out there already, while music journalists from The Guardian to the BBC have been raving about him. 24 year old London based singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka has just been named the winner of the BBC Sound of 2012 poll, and it's safe to say that his upcoming album, " Home Again" , might just become one of the most meaningful Soul records of the year, [...]

One of the most unexpected comeback in French music happened this week when singer Laura Mayne , formerly of Native (a Soul/Acid Jazz duo she formed in the early 90's) appeared on TV together with her sister Chris to perform an astounding rendition of their song "Les Couleurs De L'Amour" . The pair disbanded more than a decade ago, and we lost track of Laura after she tentatively released her solo debut back in 2002. Through the 90's, the girls paved the way to what will eventually become the Soul/R&B French scene, enjoying mainstream [...]
