KING COLE, Nat - Re: Generations
KING COLE, Nat - Re: Generations (Capitol US) Comentários: During the past several months, Nat King Cole has virtually been in the studio and on the mic with some of today's hip-hop, Latin, reggae and rock artists and producers. On March 10, 2009 a new recording entitled RE:GENERATIONS arrives with modern reinterpretations of Cole's work. RE:GENERATIONS aims to construct a tuneful bridge between generations, cultures and races. Executive Produced by Michaelangelo L'Acqua and Co-Executive Produced by Carole Cole, the album contains the talents of Cee-Lo, The Roots, will.i.am with Natalie Cole, Cut Chemist, Just Blaze, Nas with Salaam Remi, Souldiggaz with Izza Kizza, Michaelangelo L'Acqua with Bebel Gilberto, Stephen Marley and Damian Marley, Bitter:Sweet, Brazilian Girls, Amp Fiddler and TV On The Radio. RE:GENERATIONS is a 21st Century journey in the lexicon of Nat King Cole's catalog. Several respected Los Angeles visual artists have drawn inspiration from Cole's music, style and cultural influence to create custom artwork for the release. To launch RE:GENERATIONS, Capitol/EMI has commissioned an original Cole-inspired mural by the gifted international muralist/graffiti artist, Man One for Capitol's historic Hollywood lot. Assisted by two students from The HeArt Project, a local mentoring program, Man One completed the impressive mural, which powerfully depicts Nat King Cole as a ubiquitous force who transcends the ages. The track “Lush Life," Produced By Cee-Lo, is available for a free audio stream. Listen to it in quicktime HERE, or in windows media player HERE. in allaboutjazz

MOHAWKE, Hudson -Polyfolk Dance

MOHAWKE, Hudson - Polyfolk Dance (Warp) Comentários: With the increasingly crowded Wonky movement threatening to implode before it's even begun, Hudmo turns up with his much touted and long-awaited debut for the Warp imprint, featuring 6 impressively tight sequences from one of the more exciting producers of the moment. For our money the good stuff's buried away towards the end of the EP, starting off with B-Side opener 'Speed Stick', shoving the detuned synths way up in the mix with an edgy plucked vibe and nervous stop-start routine that you just about get used to when the track comes to an abrupt end. Just try and dance to that one homeboy. Next up - 'Velvet Peel' ushers in helium vocals for some multicoloured good times, before 'Yonard' ends the Ep with arguably it's finest moment, a rugged, antisocial beat pummels itself into a joyous cacophony before those trusted synths emerge from the mess to make some kind of sense of it all. It's loose, filthy, joyous next-level business and hopefully just the start of a beautiful relationship between Warp and one of its more exciting signees of recent times. Limited to a measly 400 copies only - act sharp!!!!! in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]
UNKOWN / THRILLER - BBQ Genie (Thriller)

UNKOWN / THRILLER - BBQ Genie (Thriller) Comentários: Oh yes, it's another anonymous transmission, and it's a goodun. Thriller is the fledgling, bespoke offshoot of a very well known label and features the work of key artists from the wonky/dubstep/bass scene. Making use of raw ingredients supplied by R&B, Disco and Hip Hop, the sound of the label lies somewhere between the malfunctioning wooziness of Rustie, the low-end sentience of Kode 9 and the smartarse plunderphonics of MF Doom. Series opener BBQ has already been causing quite a stir and comes to us from easily one of the most sought-after producers of the moment, flexing his inimitable muscle with a killer late night number that's one part Midnight funk and two parts bassline shocker. Flipside cut 'Genie' has its own tricks up its sleeve and comes from equally enigmatic quarters, employing a shifted R&B, 80's Disco spine only to self destruct in the most glamorous, heavy circumstances imaginable. Enough of standing in the corner nodding yr heads, Thriller are reclaiming the dancefloor. STRICTLY LIMITED TO 300 COPIES ONLY - ESSENTIAL PURCHASE! in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

CUPP CAVE - Garbage Pail Beats

CUPP CAVE - Garbage Pail Beats (Thin Consolation) Comentários: 32 track CD, ram jam packed with rather splendid sideways beats! Awesome artwork too, all wrapped up in beautiful a screenprinted cardboard sleeve (lots of colour variations)...crazy limited. Def for fans of Samiyam and the more out-there beats shit. Dope stuff... Francis bakes his beats by the dozen. Both his previous efforts on Carte Postale were filed under the Kingfisherg moniker - which leads me to believe that Francis skived spelling in primary. This is his first as Cupp Cave. His Garbage Pail Beats are a rump-shaking, head-nodding, feet-shuffling slap in the face, one for the crate-diggers and glitch-lovers. Think nice crunchy gravel. Think big, red, 8-bit family sedan. Think wearing sunglasses sitting in the passenger seat with the window open. Think sunshine. Thump, thump, clap; Cupp Cave is guaranteed Hennessy-free. in rushhour [Para Ouvir/Samples]

MOONSTARR - Instrumentals Forever

MOONSTARR - Instrumentals Forever (Public Transit Canada) Comentários: Moonstarr's always got a great way with a groove, and this album is no exception -- a surprising array of shorter numbers, sifted together with a few longer bits as well! The record's not entirely in the "instrumentals" mode promised by the title -- given that some tunes have dropped-in sound samples and spoken bits, and others some more conscious rhymes or vocals -- but overall, the main focus is on the angular, skittish beats and keyboards we've come to love in Moonstarr's music -- moving here between funky styles, jazzy moments, and some boldly electric cuts. Titles include "Who's Bitin Who", "String Theory", "Get Outside", "Broken Bossa", "Clappy", and "Break It Down". © 1996-2008, Dusty Groove America, Inc. [Para Ouvir/Samples]

Pete Concrete for Samurai FM

Eat Concrete Radio with Pete Concrete and friendsEat Concrete is a diverse and dynamic music label, firmly rooted in the Dutch electronic music scene. The record label was founded as a means of releasing our own music in a much wider and more open environment than offered by established labels and other music media. In 2005 the name Eat Concrete was first used for giving out mixes and recordings and as the name for a radioshow hosted by Pete Concrete, founder of the label. Early 2006 the first records were released, built up from material by friends and like minded artists, most of them involved in music for many years. Backed up by those interested in and related to us, the Eat Concrete network grew out into a musical platform, independent and open minded. Many recordlabels try to establish themselves by maintaining an image or profile. Eat Concrete aspires to let go of this framed state of mind and preserve an openness in it's approach to releasing music. This doesn't mean anything goes, or that Eat Concrete is oblivious to it's time and it's spirit. It means that, rather than a signature style or profile, EC practices a sense of quality and integrity. A recordlabel that looks beyond commercial goals and standards gains the freedom to experiment with music, reinvent itself and be truly progressive. Around the time of this writing Eat Concrete has released around fifty tracks in over a dozen different genres. In little more than two years Eat Concrete has explored a vast spectrum of music and, with it, created a breeding ground for future works to deepen, firm and shape Eat Concrete's qualities as a music label.Hosted by: Pete Concrete + guest appearances by Eat Concrete family
