Shabazz Palaces - full performance (Live at KEXP)

2011-09-13T10:42:00.000-07:00

Uh son. Shabazz Palaces doing what they do, live in the studio of Seattle’s beloved independent radio station KEXP. Coming through with style, substance, and unfuckwittable creative veracity – these 206 luminaries demonstrate they have been around the block and see into its future. In this intimate, in-studio session, they perform a few cuts from Black Up, the first album since their recent signing to the world-renowned, Seattle-based independent label Sub Pop. Do yourself a favor and cop "Black Up"
Black Up is the new sonic move from Shabazz Palaces. Like rich velvet hijabs or gold threaded abayas. Luxury as understood by the modest. Shabazz Palaces. If Bedouins herded beats instead of goats and settled in Seattle instead of the Atlas Mountains, this would be their album. Forward thinkers but nostalgic for a sparer time when ancient astronomers only recognized five planets. Hip hop. Black light uses electromagnetic radiation to eradicate microorganisms, but shabazz didn’t come to kill a sound, just to shine their own incandescent lamp on this. Hear. Hard and clear. Fifty thousand years in the making. Honorable.—palaceer pink gators. Produced by Knife Knights.plcrs at Gunbeat Serenade Studio in Outplace Palacelands. It was recorded and mixed in Lixx-alog by Blood.

Really that’s all just a segue to this: we have a decent preview of the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Fall 2011 line-up, courtesy of one of the myriad tradeshows out there, and it’s looking pretty good.

Shabazz Palaces

2011-04-07T09:58:00.000-07:00

You might remember frontman Ishmael Butler from his former gig as one of the three Digable Planets, the early '90s jazz rap titans who tutored the world on the essence of "Cool Like Dat." (For those with short memories, it was the "swag" of its day.) Their unsung sophomore masterpiece, "Blowout Comb," found them subjected to the hip-hop equivalent of the execution of the Petrashevsky. Doomed for turning in a politically radical album when gangsta posturing ruled, EMI dropped them after the album failed to register commercially. Butler endured a decade-plus sojourn in a metaphorical Siberia, recording a series of barely heard projects that were inevitably described (if mentioned at all) as "being by the guy who used to be in Digable Planets -- whatever happened to them?" The answer came last year when Shabazz Palaces emerged from the (relative) hip-hop hinterlands of Seattle. Music writers from the region began breathlessly hyping them as the most exciting local rap group in decades, and when Sir Mix-A-Lot is universally regarded as the gold standard, it wasn't much of a stretch.

May 31, the label will release new Shabazz album Black Up

Beautifully shot short film by Khalil Joseph for Vans Syndicate, starring Ishmael Butler — aka Palaceer Lazaro — of Shabazz Palaces, and featuring music from Flying Lotus + Shabazz Palaces.

fLako “The Mesektet” (snippet)

2011-04-07T09:48:00.000-07:00

‘The Mesektet’, in ancient egyptian mythology, is one of the two solar boats used by the sun god ‘Ra’ to travel through the cycle of night and day and carry the moon across the sky. It is told that he died every dusk, had to fight the dark forces of the underworld and bring light to the dead souls as he passed through – just to be reborn in the morning. Just like the sun god fLako uses ‘The Mesektet’ to end the cycle of darkness and prepare for his own rebirth, marking the end of an era in his style of production and move forward into new musical directions, which he already started to explore on his ‘Mini Toolbooth EP’. This release includes a collection of previously unreleased or only digitally available works from the time up until 2008. The artwork was created by surrealistic painter Dan May and this 2 x 12″ will be out May 6 on Project Mooncircle.

Hubert Daviz “Proceduri de Rutina” [REPOST W/ EXCLUSIVE DNWLD]

2010-05-18T03:23:00.000-07:00

“Proceduri de Rutina” by Hubert Daviz.

He has been working on this project by sampling only Rumanian Jazz records since early December 2009. The eight tracks strong release was supposed to come out as a free release on Kwatro, but our friends at Melting Pot Music picked this up and now it’s due to drop at the end of this month on limited vinyl (500 copies). These soulful vibes remind me of something from the past eventhough I can’t quite put my finger on what. We were given an exclusive non-album track by the guys from MPM to share with you guys. Enjoy “Space Journey” and BUY this mini-album at the MPM store….it’s crazy nice. [artwork and photos by Robert Winter]

Freddie Joachim “A.M.” EP

2010-05-17T18:17:00.000-07:00

Welcoming you back from a wonderful weekend and into this music monday, we bring you the brand new “A.M.” EP from Frisco’s Freddie Joachim. Available for FREE download (high quality) via the Mellow Orange or Organology Bandcamp. Freddie’s full-length “Midway” album will be released this summer in the States and Japan and I have to admit “A.M.” sounds pretty decent. At times it even reminds me a bit of some Kev Brown productions. I’m curious what “Midway” will sound like and what vocalists he’ll be working with.

Air Jordan 2010 Black/Dark Charcoal-Varsity Red

2010-05-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

Do you ever wonder what goes into naming the colorway of a shoe? So frequently one of the main colors is left off the label, or a non-existent or tertiary color is listed first. This Air Jordan 2010 black/dark charcoal-varsity red, for example. Where’s the black? I see dark charcoal, I see red and I see what I would call neutral grey (the perforated nubuck panels). No black though, and yet it’s the headline shade. Anyway, dope shoe, really dig the colorway. Is it possible I’ve grown to really like the AJ 2010? I guess so. Anyway, more looks after the jump. The Air Jordan 2010 black/dark charcoal-varsity red release date is set for June. Read More »

Apollo Brown – Skilled Trade

2010-05-15T08:23:00.001-07:00

Building anticipation for his debut album, The Reset, out May 25, recently signed Mello Music Group producer Apollo Brown re-releases a mixtape done in 2007 named Skilled Trade. Raw in its sound, Skilled Trade is a collection showcasing Apollo Brown’s honed craft through the 30 tracks of instrumentals included in the album. A true display of talent, not only did Apollo produce and arrange it himself but also created the physical album through his own means, then distributing them the same exact way. But it isn’t just talent that makes Apollo a good producer but also the hard work he is willing to devote to his craft.
On The Reset, Apollo’s hard work and talent will mix with the likes of accomplished emcees such as Rapper Big Pooh, Stik Figa and fellow label mates, Diamond District to bring the debut album to most excited fans.

Mr. Chop & C.L. Smooth – The Resurrection

2010-05-15T08:21:00.001-07:00

Nearly 20 years after Pete Rock & CL Smooth made their mark on hip-hop with the classic album Mecca and the Soul Brother, CL Smooth has recorded two new vocal versions over Mr. Chop’s psychedelic covers of the original Pete Rock beats.

Last year, Mr. Chop released For Pete’s Sake, an album made up entirely of psych, funk, jazz and rock covers of Pete Rock’s greatest beats. The backing tracks for the new versions with CL Smooth’s are different than those on the Pete’s Sake album, and feature The Heliocentrics’ Malcolm Catto on drums. Get the 7″s HERE

OlivierDaySoul contributes to 1 of my favorite track on the album…“In The Now” while Muneshine and Oddisee himself team up and explain us how life is a “Two Way Street”. Here’s what Oddisee had to say about the project.

"Has it really been a year? You now, When I first got in to music I did it purely for the fun and excitement of it. As the seasons came an went my hobby transformed into a full on career. The “Odd Seasons” series was a way for me to be creative for no reason other that creativity. That’s why they’ve been free releases. In order to remind my self why I do music, I have to allow some of my works to be created and released for well…. I hate to say it but…. “The Love”
