VIDEO: Jimmy Edgar - Let Yrself Be

This week sees the release of a music video for what is arguably the best song on Jimmy Edgar's most recent album, Majenta (2012, Hotflush). Edgar's penchant for trippy visuals is evident from the first frame. While the video may not be your cup of tea, the musical accompaniment is funky as hell.

Isn't she lovely: Laman Akhmedova

My freckled face home-girl, facebook celebrity and boy penis magnet  Laman Akhmedova got featured on the Austrian Vice website. Head over to the Vice page to read more about her quirky habits and (semi) NSFW pictures to drool over. It's been a trip watching you blossom into the woman you have become. We are so proud. German skills required. I strongly advise you to be-friend her on facebook for your daily dose of inappropriate hilarity.

Note: We might be releasing an interview she did for us a while back with a producer we are very fond of. Stay tuned.

Azizi Gibson X Jeremiah Jae - "Ignorant Prayers"





















Jeremiah Jae and Azizi Gibson released their mixtape Ignorant Prayers yesterday - In case you're not up to speed, these are 2 artists that are signed to Flying Lotus label Brainfeeder. I had pretty high expectations going into this mixtape, and to be honest I still need to give it a full play through, but I cant say im disappointed - Jae and Gibson managed to put together a solid 18 track hip-hop mixtape, which I can definitely agree with.

Download this baby and swag out!

Jeff Koons at Fondation Beyeler

Being in Basel this week its very fitting that Jeff Koons is currently having an exhibition at the legendary Fondation Beyeler. So far any art fans in the Basel area, this is not one too miss. I'll take this as a minor compensation for missing all the high value art transactions that took place in Art Basel this weekend.

DOLOR - XXYYXX


We've been following XXYYXX ever since his first release. I don't need to give you any more info about him except that he makes dope beats and that he just released a 2 track album on his bandcamp which is available for free. Enjoy.

Joey BADA$$ - 1999

Here's something I've been listening to all week (as was the rest of the crew). '1999' is Joey BADA$$' debut mixtape that really took me back to what seemed like the golden era in rap music. This talented 17 year old rapper is real decent on the mic and has a knack for choosing dope beats to rap over: J Dilla (RIP), DOOM and Statik Selektah to name a few. While obviously very reminiscent of Stones Throw rap music from the turn of the new millennia (due to the selection of beats), he just makes it sound like he was there in a way that my mastery of the English language will fail to explain in coherent words. Remember this kid is 17. He was 11 when we lost Dilla. I therefore, urge you to give it a listen and see if you agree with me.



Vanity - Early Morning

Lately we've been getting a lot of tracks to our inbox. Every once in a while we get something that stands out from the rest. This time Vanity, an 18 year old from Leicester, caught my attention with his 'Early Mornings' track. This ambient,chilled out 2-step/Garage track has been playing on repeat all day. I would really like to have this track on my iTunes so I suggest you go over to his facebook page and give it a like as he will be giving it away when he reaches 500 likes.

haha i'm sorry

I was genuinely excited once I heard that Kitty Pryde dropped her debut EP on her bandcamp. I've blogged about this Daytona Beach girl when she dropped a video for her single Okay Cupid,which is on the EP. The production on these 5 tracks comes from 3 great producers: Beautiful Lou,GRANT and SELA who all did an amazing job, and as I said before she just sounds so good on the beats. I suggest you give it a listen.

Instrumental Mixtape 2

Clams Casino's first Instrumental Mixtape was one of my favorite mixtapes of 2011. And ever since he released the remastered version I've been stalking his twitter/youtube for new releases. Without even listening to this I can already tell you it is a great mixtape. It contains the instrumentals he did for ASAP Rocky's debut mixtape, instrumentals for Mac Miller, remixes of Washed Out and Lana Del Ray and much more. I highly suggest you get this!
