Title track from Chrisette Michele’s new album, which features Talib Kweli & Black Thought. Never thought I would hear her rapping, but I love this. Good album too.
Azari & III and Nicolas Jaar have been two of my favourite breakthrough acts this year. So the other day when Pitchforkast posted Jaar’s remix of this beautiful track, it’s safe to say I was pretty excited. Stunning work.
Lupe performing the intro from his fourth album, Food & Liquor II, which is slated to drop after Lasers. This is incredible, but maybe slightly premature.
Yelawolf’s debut album, Trunk Muzik 0-60, was released a few days ago. This isn’t usually my type of thing, but discarding the Gucci feature, it’s a brilliant listen. Here is the track which features Hip-Hop legend Raekwon.
Listened to the new Deadmau5 album today and it was pretty much what I expected. Uninspiring and a bit all over the place. The 3 tracks I had already heard (Some Chords, I Said & Animal Rights) were the best on the album; however this one reminded of the days when I used to love his music. How times have changed.
This track is taken from an album which I am kicking myself for being late on and relying on my Mum to bring it to my attention. Richard Earnshaw is a super-talented UK producer who in August laid down a 10-tracker that will blow your mind. It’s a glorious and effervescent mix of late 70s boogie flavours interspersed with forward thinking house beats, jazzy vibes and ultra-soulful vocals. Everything I could wish for really. The album includes appearances from Jocelyn Brown, Eric Dillard, Carleen Anderson and many more. This track however features two absolute legends - Kenny Thomas and Roy Ayers. Make sure you also check out Grant Nelson’s remix of the lead single, here. Real music.
