Dr. Strangeloop - Are We Lost Mammals of an Approaching Transcendental Epoch?



Back story. Dude is usually a visual artist, but has dabbled in production. He befriended Flying Lotus at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco. During this period, he was doing hallucinogenics to the point where he was pushing the limits of his own sanity. This was recorded during that period. Fascinating post-rock-esque exploration into the mind.

Durlin Lurt - Him Jenson

Dude is nice. Producer from Boston, MA. Beats made from samples of the Muppets and Sesame Street. Drums are gritty and there is a track for every letter of the alphabet.

Seriously though, it's A Trak and Armand Van Helden!


Shits a banger. This was one of my tracks for the summer, put I only had a radio rip and a low quality rip, so i didn't bother posting it. But now, here it is, in all of its glory. But two months late. Oh well.

More Mayer



Great song, and mad heads pop up. Rob Dyrdek, DJ House Shoes, and clips from LA's Do Over sunday BBQ party. Plus this song is all sunshine and happiness. A fantastic summer song, even as the summer comes to a close.

Deep in the woods, there is a sequencer


Secretly, deep inside, I have a love for soothing folk music and lo-fi garage rock. This is neither of these.

But it includes Justin Vernon, i.e. Bon Iver.

Photek - Modus Operandi

Courtesy: Paul Jenkins

Classic drum 'n' bass.

M: When did you start making beats?

Burial: At school I just loved jungle/drum & bass, I fell totally in love with it, just at the time when people other people didn’t. I realised my brothers had all these old d&b records, so I was going back into the older stuff and loving it. When I started making tunes it was an attempt to get that vibe like Foul Play and Omni Trio. Photek drumz … listening on headphones on the way to school. This must have been 1997, when the metal Metalheadz boxset came out.

....

M: El-B’s drums are a disease - and if you understand how good they are, you’ve caught it. I had to stop trying to understand them, stop trying to re-make them. The first two-to-three years of my producing were spent trying, and only after the rhythmic consolidation of grime drums and halfstep came along did I accept there must be other better ideas, because I can’t do this better than El-B.

B: What I realised is I don’t know what he does … quantised them… he’s got kit I don’t have so I started covering everything in crackle, to hide it, bury it, so I could do those drums I love. I didn’t have the equipment to make it sound like Photek-fucking-sculpted, proper heavy, El-B heavy. So I had no choice but to put the crackle on it and get away with it.

Philly Dub

Starkey is a dubstep/street bass artist coming out of Philadelphia, PA. He makes dope beats. They can be ethereal. At times they are subtle, and other times they firmly backhand yo triflin' ass. Plus his bass destroys. 'Nuff said. Bananas shit.

Who wants to get me a present?

Jay Electronica - Dear Moleskine. (prod. by Just Blaze)



Apparently he has been touring
the world and stopped in Tibet.

GUCCI!!

So my car doesn't have a CD player. And I don't have an iPod. This means whenever I hit the road, I must make the best of the local urban radio stations in the area. Last summer this wasn't that big of an issue, considering Da Carter 3 was soon to drop and I could find "A Milli" or "Dr. Carter" playing somewhere every 15 minutes. This time around, I am not so lucky. I have nothing against Jeremiah, but Birthday Sex gets old quick, I'll just leave it at that. However, a couple weeks back I caught this gem, and was struck.

I am not familiar with Gucci, the mixtapes, and the hype that seems to be building around him. I heard someone mention the other day that they are convinced Gucci would be a great rapper if he just expanded his topics outside of trapping, crack, and ecstasy. All I know is this track is straight heat rocks. The bass knocks you in the teeth, the synths glitter, the strings are tautly arranged, and there is a very informative GPSA (Ghetto Public Service Announcement). Big ups to The FADER for the drop.
