Occupé

Busy, busy, busy. I'm falling behind schedule, goddamn it. Work is getting in the bloody way of giving you that hot fire. I'll be dropping a bunch of dope profiles in the next few days to make up for this gaping hole in posting.

In the meantime, please enjoy these random tunes.

Bon Iver- Calgary

Brand new tune from the great Justin Vernon. I'm a pretty big fan of Bon Iver, as I think it is one of the most interesting folk projects of the past few years. This new offering is somewhat stripped-down, but very beautiful nonetheless.

Cee-ro- Don't ever be lonely

We posted about Cee-Ro a while ago, and here is another fantastic tune from this hip-hop producer. Chilled-out vibes to soothe your soul.

The Federation- Get Naked You Beezy

Hyphy!

Hyetal- Diamond Islands

Ethereal vocal samples + haunting drum loops + dreamy synths = amazing. I'm having trouble communicating exactly why Hyetal is one of the most exiting new producers in the game, to be honest. It's just an innate feeling. Diamond Islands is sensual and somewhat melancholic. A georgeous tune, to put it simply.

The Chain Gang of 1974- Undercover (Twin Shadow remix)

Great remix of Undercover by one of my favorite acts, those warriors of radness, Twin Shadow. It is a strange remix, a bit all over the place in terms of arrangements, but it still retains the poppy melodies and 80s grooves that Twin Shadow is so well-known for.

Azari & III – Hungry For The Power [Art Department Remix] by PurplePR

Azari & III vs Art Department. Damn, Toronto gets dowwwwwn.


See you tomorrow.

Passing The Torch

Good Day everyone. I am the new kid on the block, don’t worry it’s not Donnie Wahlberg, I don’t think this guy is not too strapped for cash yet. I won’t introduce myself because it’s a waste of time. Let just say a little birdie told me to fill in his spot while he tries to find enlightenment or some mumbo jumbo shit. Anyways let’s get to it then.

Devin The Dude - She Want That Money (feat. Odd Squad)

This song reminds me of the better days when getting high and getting down was on my mind 24/7. But as we all grow up classics like these never die off. Now if you don’t know Devin the Dude then stop reading this shit and start fucking downloading everything off this guy. Considered mostly as an underground rapper, (fuck the mainstream shit anyways) he got recognized by his unique flow over some sweet baby jesus beats. Now this beat stems from back when he was in the group called Odd Squad under the Rap-A-Lot records. The squad is made out of Devin with his stanky weed lyrics and flow, another rapper called Jugg Mugg and some crazy ass blind producer/rapper named Rob Quest. This song is perfect when kicking back and enjoying some good herbs because biiiiiiiiiiiitch what are you smoking?

Cee-Roo - A Day In The Life (feat. John Lennon)

As it’s fucking nice, warm and sunny I just had to post this shit. Cee-Roo is some sick producer out of Switzerland, who does a good job remixing old classics varying from Hip hop, Jazz and Soul. Definitely check this guy out on his Soundcloud or Myspace. He is on his 5^th mixtape and his shit is getting on point. Everyone can find something to like in there. Heck if you can pull off remixing some Beatles especially a classic like "A Day In The Life," then in my book you got something good going on so keep on doing it.

Blue Foundation - Eyes On Fire (Zeds Dead Remix)

As you may have known, AtV transcends from a bunch of party animals and treesmokers so, this next one is straight in line with this way of life. Zeds Dead, who’s talent was introduced to me by Avenge the Virgins own MDMawesome, are making some fucking hard dubstep. If you don’t know who they are, but are looking to explode your sub in your car then this shit has to be on the top of your list. Bad to the bone baselines and some good old classic samples from known artist like Sublime and the Rolling Stones. It’s really hard not to give it a try. Newcomers to the whole dubstep might like the easier Blue Foundation melody, but let me tell you this; it keeps getting more progressive and harder from there on out.

The Johnston Brothers - Hernando’s Hideway

To finish off, since you don’t know me and I can do whatever I want. I’m taking this straight out of the Snatch soundtrack and dumping it on to your ears. If you’re feeling Spanish tonight then this will get you playing the maracas faster than you can say: "Puedo acer un trompetillas con tus boobes."

Before I go, good song, crazy Nintendo course with people flipping and shit. Maaaaaaaaan get out there and do something.

Time to pass it back to the real music savants. I am out of here yall.
