Bad as Me

Tom Waits is back on the scene, with force and vigor. And multiplicity.

Tom Waits - Bad As Me by antirecords

Thumping rhythms. Vibrant and moody horns. Prophetic licentiousness. Classic Waits. Just in time for any post-apocolyptic manifestations on this All Hallow's Eve. you're right Tom, we are the Same Kind of Bad as you. Uno Dos Tres Cuatro...

Tom Waits - Back In The Crowd by antirecords

Seemingly without genre, Tom Waits has always done whatever he feels. His musical evolution ( or re-volution, if we recognize the cyclic nature of the creative process) has brought us across the American tapestry.

Throwback Thursday Presents: Clarence Frogman Henry



So if I broke your heart last night... it's because I love you most of all.

Katie Kate- Houses



The Cornish graduate/producer/MC/singer Katie Kate, recently dropped her first album titled Flatland. I haven't been through the entire album but she definitely caught my attention with the track Houses. She comes with a more mellow approach on this track and tries to lull that ass to sleep in a good way. She's originally from upstate New York but has been in Seattle studying and working on her album the past few years. It's always refreshing to hear good music pumping out of the hometown

Pixelord- Iron and Cream Part 2




Plug plug plug.  All right this time we have something coming out of Russia.  The Pixelord is Alexey Devyanin. He’s a Moscow-based veteran of experimental music.  This track is a rework of the title track off his recent project, the Iron and Cream EP.

Hit the jump for a clip of some sound design work done by pixelord.

Khat tweeted this track just now.  Bebe is Spanish. 2007.

Throwback Thursday (Siriusmo - Einmal in der Woche schreien)





So I'll admit, I slept on this when it came out last July but it is better to be late than you know....  Appearing on Modeselektor's Monkeytown Records label, The Plasterer of Love warrants a listen. Its five tracks deep and covers a wide range of moods.

Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans (Odd Future’s The Internet Remix)

BLUE JEANS Odd Future's The Internet Remix by P5757575757575

Alright... damn... it's cool, but how many remixes of the cleanest joint can muhfuckas make?! At the end of the day no one comes as hard as Lana herself... the video to go with just dusts all these remixes.  Anyways... Tyler is screaming over the back of the track so that's cool.  If you somehow have missed Lana Del Rey's video for Blue Jeans... it's after the jizza along with a live version she did.

Dom Kennedy - When I Come Around (Official Video)



Latest visuals from the Lemert Park legend. This was off his album From The Westside With Love II.

Modeselektor – BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix



Modeselektor is one of the greatest musical presences out of Berlin... ever.  The duo has been cranking out fresh shit since the wall came down.  This mix came out earlier in the month... and I neglected to post it.  Since me and Trane started DJing I have this selfish tendency... I don't want to share shit that I might spin myself.  Anyways... considering our few, yet incredibly faithful group of readers from all over the world this is pretty asinine.   The mix by the way is riddled with dope shit.  Even if you don't fuck with Modeselektor I guarantee you'll fuck with some tracks off the mix.
Tracklist after the jump.
Also... if you missed it... Modeselektor just dropped a new album, Monkeytown... here it is:

Taprikk Sweezee - Eating at The Void (Jameszoo Remix)

Buddy - Awesome Awesome (Prod. by The Neptunes)



Here is the official video for "Awesome Awesome" by Buddy, the first signee to Pharrell's new label: I Am Other. The visuals tap into an average day-in-the-life-type-thing. Word has it that the 17-year-old, Compton native, will be at the forefront of Skateboard P's latest launch accompanied by Tyler, the Creator. Very little info regarding the direction of Pharrell's new movement has been leaked, but I think we can expect it to be aimed at a young audience.

Khat - Ring of Fire

Speak!



So I don't know too much about Speak! but I heard the track up top about two weeks ago and with the Syd tha Kyd produced track coming out I felt like I had to plug it.  He is definitely associated with OF and was on a Spaceghostpurrp track (Way Back) a while ago.

Speak! & Vince Staples - "Dank" by AndrewMartin

We Are the Music Makers


WE are the music-makers,
  And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
  And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,         5
  On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
  Of the world for ever, it seems.
  
With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,  10
  And out of a fabulous story
  We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
  Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure  15
  Can trample an empire down.
  
We, in the ages lying
  In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
  And Babel itself with our mirth;  20
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
  To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
  Or one that is coming to birth.






Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy (14 March 1844 – 30 January 1881)

Gary Clark Jr. - Bright Lights

+++ Luv Luv --- (FREE DOWNLOAD) by T.I.P

+++ Love You Up. (DEMO) --- by T.I.P

The Ep drops on the 31st... it's called T.I.P.  Listen to both tracks or miss that important shit.  Critics are calling it Lovestep... that's corny to me... but this is a trail being blazed by a number of electronic producers embracing high quality electronic noise and incorporating 90's and 2000's RnB samples.  Listen to the track after the jump if you fuck with it.  This wizard isn't a one hit wonder... write down the name.

Kavinsky- Nightcall ft. Lovefoxxx (Drive Soundtrack)



If you could get past Goslings ridiculously delayed responses and exceptional corniness the director set him up for in certain scenes, you probably agree that Drive was the film of the Summer. Not to mention it was paired up with what I think is one of the dopest soundtracks of the year so far. With an original score by composer Cliff Martinez (ex Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer) and other tracks by bands College and Desire the soundtrack had a genuine 80's feel to it. Also, Kavinsky, a French DJ and producer, and Lovefoxxx, lead singer for Brazilian band Cansei De Ser Sexy, linked up for the track "Nightcall" which sets the tone for the swag that ensues through out the film. Between the almost demonic/mechanically distorted vocals and dark layers of the beat, "Nightcall" might fuck around be the ultimate Halloween banger.

A friend put me onto little man after he saw him open for Lupe in Oakland. Kid's touring with Lupe on his Generation Lasers Tour. I hate to use the "for his age" line, but for the kid's age, hes got bars. Oh, and hes 12.

Drake featuring Nicki Minaj – Make Me Proud


Damn...
"Whenever I make songs surrounding women, I always try to find refreshing stances to take as opposed to just like, "Oh, you're sexy" or "Oh, I want you." The song, it really came up in passing conversation, just being like, "I'm proud of you,"" said Drake of the T-Minus-produced song. "Not even necessarily that a woman has to go achieve grandiose things to be proud; it's just that I'm proud of you for trying. It's hard to be a woman out here these days, especially to be pretty and especially to be smart and want something for yourself," he said. "So I'm just proud of you whether it's Nicki or any girl that I've ever known in my life that's doing well for herself. It's a dope thing to say, like, 'Go out there and make me proud,' " he explained. "And you don't feel uncomfortable as a man saying it."

Throwback Thursday Presents: Missy Elliot ft. Ginuwine - Friendly Skies



This track was stolen by 40 for Drake's legendary So Far Gone.  It fucked me up first time I heard it too because Bria's Interlude was one of my favorite tracks for a long time.  Credit of course goes to Timbaland on the production.

Chairman Kato - 'Science & Romance' EP (Clips) by Awkward Movements

Kato has been on my "overlooked" list since my days in Germany... Now that Lapalux has been taken from Pictures Music... many would look to Kato to take over as front runner on their squad.  However, Kato is releasing this EP with Awkward Movements... another London label.  What's happening at Pictures Music?

Ifan Dafydd – Sonic Router Mix #99

“Whether a chord progression makes any sense to me theoretically doesn’t really bother me as much anymore. Being correct is boring anyway.” - Ifan Dafydd
This cat initially recieved countless comparisons to James Blake, many even thought it was Blake using a pseudonym to release new music. But Welsh producer Ifan Dafydd is his own person. However, he did live with James Blake during their last year of 'University' (Goldsmiths). "Living with him was living with his music and it grabbed me. I'm grateful for the fact that he introduced me to innovative electronic music that directed me onto the path that I've pursued since moving back to North Wales.”
The mix is retarded... tracklist after the jump...

Arise!

Got a 7 min blast off for your day (or your night if you're so inclined). I like to think of this as that funk you get out of your clothes on a midnight laundry run or the sound of the desert waking up, when that desert is a large teeming city, and instead of lizards and cacti surrounding you, its crackheads, homeless and rogue-ish miscontents with nothing on their mind except ego and the repetitive though not unsettling chaos of π.
