The Roots – How i got over – new Album!!!

By chrome June 21, 2010

And its right up my alley… Love this Album all the way through. Its good music and it has that deep moody feel to it, excellent orchestration, classic verses, its not chasing any trends, it creates its own style and thats what hip hop always claimed for it itself… these cats simply do it. One of the few vinyls that i bought (online though) in recent times. i know its not much of a review but there is gonna be at least one more pf our writers here on the blog talking about this album. check this tune out:

Breakbot – “Baby I’m Yours Feat. Irfane” Video

By chrome June 21, 2010

Good friend of the family, Irfane, who is the featured singer on this neat Breakbot tune, has this lovely video as an official offering. I know i am a bit late on this video, since Schowi told about me about it already weeks ago, when Irfane was visiting him in Berlin. Sorry dudes kept forgetting about it. PS check the webs for the awesome Sirusmo rmx ! The story behind it was that his girlfriend handpainted a couple of hundred!! pictures and these were assembled or animated to create this colorful vid. Enjoy

Fête de la Musique – Bonaparte

By chrome June 21, 2010

The Fête de la Musique, a non-commercial festival which takes place in 340 cities all over the world.

Berlin is a partner of this nice festival which developped a philosophy, I really can identify with. Many many cultures, a huge genre-diversity and lots of people having fun together. That’s just how the beginning of summer should be celebrated! Quite lucky that I’m here right now, and I hope Shir Khan, Bonaparte, Zombie Disco Squad and Renaissance Man will play some nice gigs.

‘Cause Bonaparte came out with their new album “My horse likes you” I’ve got this nice tune for you:

Kele Okereke

By chrome June 18, 2010

On the occasion of the upcoming release of Kele Okereke’s first solo album “The Boxer” on 21 June, I provide you with a small selection of his new songs. So here we go with the first single “Tenderoni” (plus rather good remixes) & two additional tracks.

Btw, the album is produced by Alex Epton, better known as XXXchange. You may know that guy from a couple of fine remixes (e.g. for Santigold, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Yeasayer or Thom Yorke). He’s also responsible for Amanda Blank’s last album “I Love You” & lots of other good stuff.
