Action Bronson is on it!!!! This is seriously some of the best hiphop Ive heard in a minute! You cant even play and act like you enjoy hiphop until youve heard this man. My hommie showed my Mr. Bronson this weekend and it was like someone pressed reset on the whole game. ENJOY.
Action is a man after my own heart, he puts it on heavy in the kitchen.
I will be venturing off to Shambhala for the very first time this year, and needless to say I am EXTREMELY excited. The lineups for all but the beach stage and living room stage have been announced. I figured I would share them with you all, incase any of you are attending and have yet to see, or perhaps to inspire you to purchase a ticket! In the Fractal Forest I am most looking forward to A.Skillz and Kingdom The Pagoda looks promising thanks to Mat the Alien, aka the multi genre turntable assassin, as well as Dj Audit, an artist I recently discovered via his moombahton track I.R Burial In the Rock Pit you will find me dancing to the euphoric melodies of Bonobo, as well as jammin' to Foreign Beggars and Longwalkshortdock, who I had the pleasure of seeing in Victoria earlier this year. The Village is sure to be pretty unreal. Being a lover of glitch hop, I am obviously stoked for Mim0sa, Samples, as well as Knight Riderz. As if that weren't enough...Dj Nu-mark of Jurassic 5, Dj Fresh, Flux Pavillion, Emotionz, and Zion I will be keeping my ears oh so happy. I'm really looking forward to Dub Fx, a unique artist who builds his own tracks through the power of his voice alone. I'm not really familiar with most of the artists playing in the Labyrinth, but I will definitely be checking out David Starfire.
There you have it! My picks for Shambhala 2011. I am confident that I will return home with an appreciation for a ton of new artists as well. That being said, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE COMING!? WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST?!
Heyo its mid-week hump day and I hope you're enjoying all of the fantastic tunes miss Chilli G has so generously shared with us! I thought I'd throw you a few mixes to keep you going through the rest of the week as well!
First off we got a nice chill mix from the homie P-Rex. Its about a month old now but still super fresh. A nice chillin mix to bump in the crib after a long night of destroying your eardrums, here is P-Rex's "Advil For Your Ears Vol. 2".
Next we have a mix from your's truly! Take a little bit of dubstep, throw in a sprinkle of hip hop, and finish off with a topping of glitch. "MNG's Step'D Up Mix Vol. 2" will get your neck snapping, your head banging, and your face melting. Please use extreme caution when listening!
Aaaaaaaaand last but not least I give you "ABSOLUT BANGERS VOL.1" by the homie DJ Ootz! The title says enough so my caution goes for this one too! You can catch Ootz, The Specialist, Ten-O, Spenny B, and me, MNG, every saturday at The Temple for your Dubstep/DnB/Bass Music fix!
HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! If you're anything like me, mondays can be a little... uninspiring. Have no fear though, I come to you equipped with a plan to combat the monday blues. Every monday I'll be doing a post with a ton of tunes to get you through the week. I'm not gonna waste any time with background info on these tunes, just the straight goods. I feel guilty about saying "waste"... after all, learning about the artists is definitely essential sometimes, but this post is dedicated to just straight MUSIC. No frills, no gimmicks, just a playlist for your week. Hope you all enjoy it! HERE GOES.......
ps. if you like what you hear, I strongly urge you to support the artists and purchase the tracks when available. After all, without them our ears would be lonely and sad.
If you're looking to contribute to a worthy cause, or you just enjoy great music, the homies at Top Billin have put together this mix, the proceeds of which go to aid those suffering in Japan. Here's the scoop:
“A while a go we had an opportunity to design a compilation exclusively for the Japanese market, that was supposed to come out in April this year. The idea was to make a compilation that would reflect us in 2011, including bits from our back catalogue as well as some unreleased exclusive gems. Our friend Nakura from Tokyo was doing his job as the project manager for this and his friend and our buddy, a DJ and producer named Eccy (awesome music btw) was also taking part in this project.
But as we all know Japan was hit with the most horrific disaster in their history, tearing down almost the whole country, leaving thousands dead and even more injured, homeless or without even food.
We sat in studio, watching the devastation on TV and wondered what could we do, we have friends there. On that very moment it was clear that we should use this compilation that was designed for Japan, to help Japan.
So now we’re giving it for you in exchange of small (or bigger, your choice) donation that will go directly to Red Cross Japan. We won’t take a penny, 100% goes directly to help the people in need in Japan. Why the Red Cross? Because with them you know money will go to those really in need. If Japan has enough money, then they will help people in Libya, so your money is never lost.
We read somewhere some bitter man’s comment that he won’t donate to Japan as their GDP (gross domestic product) is 33.100$ per person, that Japan does not need money. That’s bullshit, the devastation is so big, it will take Japan years to recover.
So join us, buy this compilation for as low as 1€ if you’re really broke, or if you got a paying job, maybe pay a bit more. You get dope tunes in exchange. We respect you for your willingness to help. Thank you, arigatou gozaimasu, kiitos.”
Big thanks to all the artists involved and Nakura, Eccy, stay strong.
