Aloe Blacc – Femme Fatale

By Tand June 22, 2010

As promised we just received word from Stones Throw (Twitter) about the ongoing production of Aloe Blacc’s upcoming album. So here you go with the second single called “Femme Fatale”. Here is what Stones Throw has to say about it:

The second single from Aloe Blacc’s forthcoming Good Things is a 7-inch of “Femme Fatale”, Aloe Blacc & Truth+Soul’s take on the Velvet Underground classic. The instrumental is on the flip side of this heavy 7-inch slab of vinyl.

You can purchase the beautiful 7″ vinyl or a 320kbps mp3 right here.

As a bonus here is the original version by Velvet Underground. With french subtitles. Weird!

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
