sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex
there’s a lot of sex on tumblr. or boobs, arse and legs to be more specific. this sex is not that kind of sex.
i remember the day when this track first popped into our inbox (it was called ‘new jam’ back then), it was one of the first of the new style of sluga joints that followed. not all about the crunch, the wallop and the uuuuggghhhh. more about the funk, the lovely and the...

napolian - guns & synths
i was a massive fan of napolian’s recent drop on software, so a hop skip and a google around on the webnet last week (crate diggin for web-geeks) i came across this little freebee which came out last year.
guns and synths isn’t as fully formed as rejoice but these four tracks are still dope. hootbangin’ 96 goes and goes. very much looking forward to more from this guy. click...

Lush Life
Philly based Lush Life has a new album due out April 17th. Entitled Plateau Vision, it promises to be one of this year’s more interesting hip hop releases, featuring Heems of Das Racist and hotly tipped Memphis emcee Cities Aviv among others on guest duties. You can hear preview track Big Sur over on his bandcamp but, with the sun bravely peeking out from behind the clouds, it’s the...

birthday - come on christmas ep
as much as i’m in love with all this, for want of a better name, ‘cloud rap’ malarky at the moment, it’s the producers behind the beats that really get my tummy in a twist. so when main attrakionz’s main producer drops an all instro ep, this is a good thing.
birthday comes good with six lush tracks of breezy hip hop. you all need this.

deniro farrar - destiny.altered
if you knew me this time last year you’d know i had pretty much shunned all vocal hip hop, turned my nose up. well how things change, how noses turn down; it’s pretty much all i’m listening to at the moment.
this guy deniro farrar first appeared on my radar a few weeks back when he jumped on ryan hemsworth’s remix of grimes, and it’s hemsworth who provides the best...

ol / vtgnike - providence
released via russia’s finest purveyor of electronic music (the amazingly named rad collective) this split album by ol and vtgnike (check the latest donky pitch radio show for how not to pronounce this name) is all about soul, and all about juke. so that’s souljuke to you and me. you can grab the digi for free or, for a small sum of cash, get a lovingly hand packaged cd with the rad...

lil b - god's father
you could spend you’re whole life blogging about lil b, then blink and miss two albums. i really don’t know how many tapes he’s dropped now but i try and check every one to see what kind of mood he’s in. are we going to get the out-there wayward tracks? or just some dope ass beats and slick vocals. here we have the later, and sounding great for it.

sinjin hawke - urb mix
i wasn’t aware of this chap until pete pitch dropped a track on the radio show a month back, and then moscow was bumping one of his beats when we dj’d together recently. i’m now a fan.
this mix is super tight, and the vast majority of tracks are his own. highly reccomended. click pic for transport to urb.

Evian Christ - New Track & Interview
Pitchfork just dropped a new track from Evian Christ. ‘Payo rent’ was produced about the same time as the free EP Kings and Them we covered a while back, and features washed out guitar and smatterings of Suzanne Vega vocals. Well worth picking up. Pitchfork also posted up an interview with the man himself, reflecting on his sudden rise to fame and signing to Tri Angle Records. Click...

ryan hemsworth - gucci anthem (exeter remix)
ryan hemsworth doesn’t know it yet, but he’s basically my new musical squeeze; i’ve had his kitsch genius release on repeat over the last week or so. this remix by exeter is the perfect accompaniment. drop at 1.30. ok then. and again at 2.42. sex
there’s some other corkers on exeter’s soundcloud page, but it seems i’m a little late to the party as they’ve...
