It's kind of hard to fuck up this track... but Polydor is about to release hella remixes of TEED stuff before his first release with them in early 2012.  Set material.

BlacRoc 2



Fuck... The first BLAKROC was real preemo, but this list of features looks pretty clean.  I'm really looking forward to hearin some new Jay Electronica... Curren$y I'm with too, but anything with Wiz on it this day is risky... The first one will be a big act to follow.

Floating Points

Charlie M and Spinner saw Floating Points with me in Berlin in March and Jamie xx performed with him.  We were right up on the table and gotta watch them do surgery.  But Floating points was clearly the superior DJ.  During Jamie's set he often came up and fixed things with his sound or showed him something small.  I was thrown off though because Floating Points has a fraction of the notoriety Jamie XX has accumulated.  Because last week's Essential Mix by Jamie XX has been so popular, here's Floating Point's Essential Mix...

Smoke DZA - Rolling Stoned


Smoke DZA's freshly dropped album, Rolling Stoned, has got to be one of the most feature heavy (in a good way) records I have seen in a while. Dude enlisted the likes of Curren$y, Kendrick Lamar, Dom Kennedy, ASAP Rocky and Bun B. It's tough to go wrong with that much quality. Download it.

Amon Tobin - ISAM


I don't know where to begin here.  I respect Amon Tobin as much as any artist alive.  Uhh... what he's doing here is what I wish I could do.  His show and art exhibit look like nothing else in the art world right now.  I dono... watch. Or if you're short on time and a bitch just watch the one below.

I dono... this is the tightest shit ever I'm pretty sure.

Pawncho - DropxLife


Dropxlife - Pawncho by EARMILK

In just a few days the name "Pawncho" has shown itself to the world at a terrific speed.  If you haven't heard it yet listen to it I guess.  I like the Toronto (yea... another one) producer's beats, but simply cannot put Pawncho on a level anywhere near The Weeknd, or OVO... InxTwo and MoonxShine both utilize samples really well and I think are two of the best songs on DropxLife (UPDATE: InxTwo especially, fuck).  But then comes along... RollxPlae and one finds themselves waiting for Abel Tesfaye to jump on the track at any moment.  The track is great... but I find myself thirsting for more.  This theme applies to the whole shit.  I want more.  Is it possible that The Weeknd has changed the beat production game to such a degree that instrumental tapes won't be enough anymore? No... but as a producer, you better bring a lot more to the table these days.  Beats aren't just for rappers... theyve graced countless genres of music in recent years.  So I hope to see an artist like Pawncho do a little bit more in the future or team up with someone to make more complete music.  It's 2011. Go Hammer. (@kevintheduude put me on)
