I'm Back!!!


It's been a while, but I'm back with two artists that have been in heavy rotation for me. So without further ado I present The Whitest Boy Alive "Rules". This album falls into that wonderful category of being able to full on boogie to or just straight chill. I love albums like this. It has this jazzy, laid back, dance rock thing going on. The guitar even reminds me of Barber's tone in some songs. It's like a cross between Chris Joss, Royksopp, Junior Boys and John Scofield. Can't get much better than that.

The second album is featured below






It's Good To Be Back






The second EP here by Boston area band, Passion Pit, could be compared to bands the likes of Animal Collective, Why?, MGMT, etc. Solid indie dance rock. Listen to "I've Got Your Number" and "Sleepyhead" for the real deal on this EP.

It's from fall 2008, but i stumbled across it while digging through the virtual crates. Ghislain puts together some pretty grimey, club, dubstep, whatever else you can think of. It's one consecutive track. Good if your going for a run or just gonna raise some hell.

Download Of The Week


Dub Trees - Nature Never Did Betray The Heart That Loved Her

Psy-dub at it's finest. This is other worldly, shamanistic, spirit rattling psy-dub. This is the record you pop on when you just need to space out, philosophize, contemplate, create, relax, dream or indulge. It's puts the listener somewhere you were not before listening to the album. This album is set to "11" and ready to blow your mind.

Las Flores Project - Colores Y Memorias

I've been waiting to spread this around for a while now. Big up to Moira!

There is speculation of a sixth sense. Many different theories have been discussed, but I'm certain that this sense has to do with the reading of one's mind. If someone were to read my mind and make an album Las Flores Project's Colores Y Memorias would be it.

Las Flores Project is straight, downtempo hip hop. It reminds me of Shadow's early stuff except a little more blunted.
