artist | wait what
track name| passed out lovers

twentynine.may.twentytwelve

everyone knows charlie’s debut album, the notorious xx, which was pure genius.  but, he’s also released the nasd out album along with a few mixtapes and tons of free 99 weekly downloads.  recently, this track popped up on my soundcloud as a part of his wait what wednesdays giveaway and while it took about a minute for the song to sync up (in my opinion)…when it did…it flooooowed.  this track has so much style.

definitely worth a listen, but let it roll for about a minute.

[side note:  i’ve had bibio - lover’s carvings in draft for about a month now, i’ll post soon.]

trackback:
tinie tempah - pass out
bibio - lover’s carvings (feat. bruno b & eddie m.)

artist | uno hype x dj black diamond
track name | attack of the clones

twentysix.may.twentytwelve

uno hype, another fresh talent out of maryland (gotta love bmore), really came through on this last collaboration with dj black diamond.  the album, fxck the hype, is available as a free download here.  he’s a brilliant artist, and while all genres evolve, there’s something about this album that just feels true to what i love about hip-hop.  for other special tracks of the album check out, destroy me and train of thought.

artist | mayer hawthorne
track name | no strings [classixx original]

twentyone.may.twentytwelve

‘i saw you looking at me girl, a when i first set foot into the room.  you didn’t want me to see girl, you didn’t want to lay your cards so soon.’

disco, electronic, indie-rock, hip-hop, funk…if you like any of these genres, you’ll love the dynamic between these guys.  mayer, a mostly one-man show based out of l.a. often records hip-hop tracks under the name ‘haircut’, and classixx is a two-man group of best friends based out of l.a. who helped cultivate the disco, funk, electronic music scene in l.a.
