“We’re Here to Save the Day” was the first song dropped in my soundcloud dropbox by thehappysmokers a few months back.
I was a little skeptical about the chorus at first, the kids didn’t seem to fit the mood, but after hearing Elijah Jones’s vocals & Asher Roth’s MCing, I could’ve given a fuck. Both of ’em got the flow down, even with completely different styles. Roth, however, made the song for me with some superb MCing. Kinda reminds me of Emineminem(inem) without all the […]

I don’t know why, but recently I’ve been finding a good amount of music to make love to – maybe I’ll compile it all for y’all sometime.
The most recent of these baby makin’ songs is “Velocity of Love” by D-Pulse. What makes it so damn sensual is that brass vibration – it sure leaves the heart wondering. I just wish it wasn’t so hard to find more shit like this.
Enjoy with a loved one.

I dunno if Pretty Lights could ever top Filling Up the City Skies, but this sure is sneaking up on it.
Glowing in the Darkest Night brings on some newly crafted tunes by our favorite hip-hop/electronic fused producer, Derek Vincent Smith.
The one thing the album’s missing is something substantially new from Smith. This may be the best release of his this year, but I know he would do well at experimenting with new […]

First heard Intuition on his song “Al Bundy” almost a year back. So when I heard he did an edit of The Black Key’s “Psychotic Girl”, I knew he’d cut up some nasty lines for this blues rock band.
“Psychotic Girl” gives the typical tale of a seemingly normal gal that shows her true colors when you’re least expecting it. Intuition’s thoughts go well with The Black Keys’ original vocals, especially against those back beat blues.
I would’ve liked Intuition’s flow a bit slower paced and better volumized (volumized), but he did a damn fine job at picking a song that was meant for him to lay some dirtay lines over.
Now off to listen to The Black Key’s discography :)

I don’t know why I like dubstep, but sometimes the beat takes you. It’s like screamo music, only a certain person can handle it.
I’m not into a lot of dupstep, however, a nice blend of dub vibes fused with anything from Nelly Furtado to Mozart will get my rave face on.
Hooky’s remix of “Make You Pop” has a good build until it drops so-damn-hard 53 seconds in. The beat hits right on the spot with some unusual sounds for music. Only in dubstep could you drop in something that sounds like your computer just got totally fucked – and sound goood. Enjoy.

We all need a mental vacation once in a while, and with Emancipator’s escapist sounds it’s the perfect remedy to let the mind at ease.
Stargate Studios recently used Emancipator’s “Lionheart” to help unfold the fascinating virtual manipulation that goes on in their studio. I don’t know which I’m more impressed by – Emancipator or Stargate Studios – but combine the two and get artistic look at how easy our eyes can be deceived.

Fuck is this shit sexy! Ya ever find a song that you could listen to over and over again, and it got better every damn time Well, that’d be this.
Last night I was heading to bed when I randomly hit this on the Hype Machine (it was meant to be). The beat clicked from the start and the vocals were smoother than.. my thought process right now ’cause I can’t think of shit. This may even top GAYNGS‘s “The Gaudy Side of Town” for sexiest love song of […]
[audio:What-You-Need.mp3|titles=What You Need]Remember Jaydiohead It was that awesome mash-up album of Jay-Z and Radiohead that dropped in December of ‘08 and introduced the world to producer Max Tannone. He’s back, this time with an album called Mos Dub, which mashes my personal favorite Mos Def with roots reggae.
Each of the 10 tracks expertly lays a Mos Def vocal track over a reggae instrumental, usually weaving in some chorus vocals from the reggae song as well. The Mos Def tracks are well chosen from throughout his career, and Tannone has dug up 10 absolutely gorgeous reggae tunes. Each song is perfectly paired and mixed, far past the point of the novelty mash-up and well into the territory of true art and incredibly enjoyable music. The excellent production creates a showcase for the fact that Mos Def’s deep, smooth voice works beautifully with the vibes of […]

I’ve heard quite a few Beatles cover songs before, but this one really does George Harrison’s original justice.
First hearing India Arie’s voice was a bit peculiar. I couldn’t picture her standing in, but after getting use to her voice with Santa’s guitar, it made for a perfect match.
I’ve only listened to a couple tracks off Santa’s newly released album, Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time, but his rendition of this classic takes it. You can’t beat a Beatle’s song redone by a master guitar player + beautiful vocals by India Arie – oh, and some damn good cello playin’.
