great video, wait for the Dilated fan, full album drops end of september…
“Look right through hoo hoo” – this is what the early 90s sound like in 2011.
…the Hip Hop heads simply had the better shoes.

Beiruts new album “Rip Tide” came out last week and while i never mentioned “East Harlem”on this site, the single that came out 2 months prior to the album release, i kept on playing it as one of the nights ends tunes, and have been deeply & cosmologically in sync with the song and its levitating feel, and thats how i pretty much feel about the entire album. Here is another pick from “Rip Tide”. Enjoy the album and its really worth it, one of my absolute faves right now!

Side note: this summer they have toured a few festivals in Europe but never even touched down anywhere remotely close to germany. i wanna see them live and i want to see the entire crowd go “Whoa” when “East Harlem” is dropped in prime time. Deserves it!
While everyone is still knocking Jay-z & Kanye for how bad their, this weeks released, album “The Throne” is for a list of various reasons – here is one that Chuck D brought fwd – i still cant get over how awesome their sample for their lead single “Otis” is. Not a song to dance to, even though people go mental when you play it, doesnt look anything like dancing though, i think its brave enough and in the vein of the old fashioned hip hop to use a sample as soulful as this for a heavily promoted hiphop track, thats meant to go chartland and – no i dont care what they are saying and how much they are bragging about stuff. i stopped paying attention to hip hop vocals a long time ago. I picked better Mantras for me, no but THE SAMPLE is AWESOME. uhmm… i mean this SONG is AWESOME!

When Saints Go Machine – Kelly
Some months back, when I first heard the promo of ‘Konkylie’, their debut album, I was a bit confused..kind of forwardthinking stuff. The single ‘Kelly’ is really massive, once more !K7 signed a great new band.
