the Black Keys are “Brothers”

By chrome May 31, 2010

This bands been around and to be a hundred % honest i first took notice of them when the did that hip hop collabo album last year. So i started paying attention to them, and the new album is the bomb – here are 2 songs and this is so far my favourite album of the year. I picked two mellow tunes, but dont bee fooled by that. The album rocks – and i dont use that word lavishly but in their case it is simply true. I have been listenig to their music more than to anything else this month and i am still not sick of of it. They make great music and the Black Keys rock!

This is simply hilarious

By Tand April 28, 2010

Recently we received a mail from Atlantic Records to remove a song from the upcoming album of B.o.B. which goes by the name “The Adventures Of Bobby Ray”.

This morning I received a mail from whitelabel.net. For all of you who don’t know whitelabel.net: this is a Serato DJ pool. Basically record companies send you digital tracks instead of real vinyl test pressings with a white label on it because the finished product isn’t available yet. Anyway – I’m getting off topic here…

To cut a long story short: you can download the whole album over at whitelabel.net (ATTENTION: you need Serato to play back the files in full 320 kbps though!).

Now that’s what I call clever. It’s 2010… like a good friend of mine always says: wake up!!

Sade new song “Soldier of Love”

By chrome December 15, 2009

Being the huge Sade fan i have been for so many years, about 20 years now, its been almost a decade since her last release and i am totally looking forward to the new one. This is her new song and even though i generally hate songtitles with the words “war, soldier,..” or anything military in it, Sade as in previous years is an exception to the rule or all rules in general. If its gonna be anything like any of her previous albums i am gonna be listening to this one for the next 10 years.

In general i don’t believe in the concept of albums these days, when observed from an evolutionary point of view – this mechanical item is simply dated, but once again Sade is also an exception to this rule. Enjoy

Hindustani Gangster

By chrome November 2, 2009

These guys here >>> Music without borders >>>did an awesome remix album of Jay’s “American Gangster” album. They mixed it all up with Indian & Bollywood sounding tunes, loops and fx from some 70s +80s indian gangster movies. The outcome is Hindustani Gangster which is definitely the funniest and wittiest approach to remixing Jay’s otherwise mediocre album. (do not comment we can argue over this for days) I am playing two of these tunes even if they are at 160kbs, so you see how much i’m digging this. Download the full album right here:www.hindustanigangster.com

check this tune:

Kid Cudi – Man on the Moon: The End of the Day Album

By chrome September 7, 2009

Finally Cudis album drops. Not that albums are really state of the art in the digital age of a accelerating informational flow, but this ones worth mentioning and like Cudi says himself on the album – its different – not only from the general hiphop material – but somehow different. And for all of you who havent followed Cudis rmx, features and many, many appearances all over – not only the interwens and blogland – this is a perfect introduction to him. His two biggest hits are on here – Poke here face (sampling the accoustic lady gaga version) and of course Day & Night. We all got up on Cudi some time ago when the Day and Night original dropped, the pre Crookers Rmx, and everybody was up on it – humming and singing the lonely stoner anthem. Then of course that rmx elevated it to pop-cult status and even went into the pop charts. The only, dare i say, “Rapper” respected and featured by all scenes alike – and thats what we want these days. No limiatations and boundaries as to what your music is. So this LP comes recommended probably by everyone – not just by me – bc its one of the few albums worth buying and listening to as a whole. And you know i never supported the idea of albums.

By chrome July 20, 2009

Our buddy Andy – aka Fortknox Five – has got a new Album out, its called “Radio Free DC Remixed”. Its his 2008 album “Radio Free DC” remixed, had to break that down, wasn’t that obvious. Support the man, the album just came out last week – get it here and here and here. why not get 3 copies? Remixes by the likes of Rodney Hunter, Nextmen, Deekline & Ed Solo and many, many more. As always FK5 brings good material to the table while keeping true to his vibe. There is more than enough material and versatality for every tastemaker, genrebreaker and style afficionado.

here is my favourite right now – enjoy:
