Kutmah “Throwing Stones” (Stones Throw Podcast)
Considering the fact that we have mad love for everything Kutmah does, we don’t share nearly enough of his stuff here. He’s a really interesting artist originally from the UK, who moved to LA when he was 12. He then became an important member of the Dublab radio collective, and …
Future Classic: Sonnymoon “2012 EP”
Its weird because when I discovered this group it was when they release a cover of a “Houstanlavagas” by Drake. And people who know me personally know that I’m not the biggest fan of the guy, in fact I make fun of him all the time. But Sonnymoon did an …

Lianne La Havas “Forget” (Shlohmo remix)
Shlohmo did a great remix of “Forget” by the British Soul singer Lianne La Havas. This young lady will drop an album at the end of 2012 and she reminds me of Andreya Triana a little because of her sweet voice and her lovely accent. Very cool thing is that she …
Dudley Perkins “Interplanetary Peace Talks 2012 A.U.” (Documentary)
I like watching documentaries, especially about music. And last night, I watched the wonderful documentary about Declaime aka Dudley Perkins. I learnt a lot about the life of this artist and his vision. The duo of filmmakers A.J. Calomay and Paul Dang filmed Dudley from 2003 to 2008 and you …

It’s been a very busy and productive week for Shlohmo. He released the single for his new EP Vacation due out February 7th and he also put out an awesome remix of Lianne Havas’ song “Forget”. It’s a beautiful track and what is interesting about him is that he is still evolving …
Bullion “Say Arr Ee”
via Boomkat: “Witness the evolution of Bullion’s idiosyncratic oeuvre on his latest, and greatest release for R&S. From his earliest ‘Pet Sounds: In The Key Of Dee’ through to that sideways remix of Model 500, there was never any doubt that the guy was a hugely distinguished talent, but we …
Future Classic: Chuck English “WRKING” Beat Tape
When The Cool Kids where all the hype back in 08’, they definitely brought something to the table that was different and were co-signed by a lot of big underground acts at that time. Without a doubt, the rhyming skills of the duo was really average but they kept it …
