For the past few months I’ve had a minor obsession with South African renaissance man Spoek Mathambo. This means not only stalking his twitter, eagerly anticipating his Fader magazine cover, catching up on his back catalogue of side-projects and features, but also keeping his latest LP, Mishni Wam, in heavy rotation. It’s tough work, to [...]
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson is perhaps the coolest of all violin players doing their thing today. Not only is he incredibly talented and surrounded by equally gifted players, but his choice in music is always impeccable. Here we see the band (accompanied by Flying Lotus on the bleeps and boops) performing a re-orchestrated version of Drips (from [...]
Once again, I was going through some new releases on No Modest Bear and stumbled on some dopeness that I just had to share on here. Dag för Dag is a Swedish band that began getting recognition around 2007 according to their bio. As I’m currently listening to this release I’ll have to say that [...]
Here’s a nice video to accompany Star Slinger’s remix of I Am You by Coolrunnings. The video was directed by John Kendall, and I think the scenes in this really amplify the strength of an already dope song. I went nuts the first time I heard the shit, and I’ll continue to go nuts every [...]
Twin Sister is too good. -the judge
First off I want to thank Tonje and my dude Star Slinger for helping me out with the cover! This is a track that I semi-uploaded onto facebook a couple weeks ago and since the feedback was so positive I decided to release it as a single. I even performed it when I opened for [...]
Here we have a really fresh sounding free album by the band Soft Powers. I was on No Modest Bear a couple weeks ago and saw a post for their track Mary Never Sings Our Songs. I really enjoyed the track and eventually found their myspace to find that I liked all the tracks on [...]
I recently got invited to contribute a guest deejay mix for one of my favourite music sites out there, dippedindollars. It was really nice to get a platform like that to showcase some of the weird instrumental stuff I’m into, so i went all in. Check out the embed below, and make sure you holler [...]
I’ve heard a couple joints from Star Slinger’s next project and I’ll have to say that it’s pretty dope. For now we’ll have to listen to this new ‘May I Walk With You?’ joint that contains a sample from Life Without Building’s ‘The Leanover’. I really like the way he has layered drums over the [...]
Here we have Blackbird Blackbird’s new track entitled Letting Go. This track is a great listen for people that want to drown into a great atmosphere. Also, my dude Blackbird Blackbird really went in on remixing Camera Talk by the Local Natives. He did a great job of creating a nice arrangement of trippy pop [...]
