A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to give 3 people a Samsung tablet and have them execute an experiment with it. Having seen what Oh No’s capable of with an iPad, I immediately thought of putting my man I.N.T. (La Melodia) to work on a beat. Together with Nilez, we then picked Mar to lay some of his smooth vocals over this banger. I may be biased but I gotta say the guys outdid themselves on this one. You can catch more information on the project here.

French hiphop producer Astronote has been making quite some noise these past few years. I remember his remix for Mayer Hawthorne, which was later included on the album and eversince I’ve been hearing banging beats here and there. Yesterday they dropped “Astromix” which includes a bunch of free downloads. Mostly original productions for Invincible, Marv Won, Ro Spit, LMNO, Magestik Legend, King Magnetic and Shawn Jackson. Also a couple of remixes and some previously unreleased exclusives as well. Listen to it, love it, hate it, share it…get it HERE! Alternative download link HERE.

In Februari we posted a stream of Krystal Klear‘s banger “Tried For Your Love”, which over the last year has gotten lots of airplay by us as on the radio as well as in the clubs. Now many months later the “Tried For Your Love” EP is finally out on All City. This debut solo project is filled with four Boogie bangers including the title track. Hudson Mohawke did a remix which is also on there. This release will not disappoint all lovers of Future Funk! Free download thanks to Pitchfork and available via Rush Hour and the All City shop next week.

I’m going to keep this short. The most groundbreaking hiphop group in the nineties, A Tribe Called Quest, has been the epitomy of what hiphop music is supposed to sound like for many. Tribe’s groundbreaking fusion of jazz, art and borough lifestyle was on a whole other level and equaly interesting is the story what happened to them as a collective. If Tribe is not in your top 3 of alltime hiphop, there’s probably something wrong with you and you should see a doctor. Anyways…actor Michael Rapaport has been working on a documentary entitled “Beats, Rhymes and Life: The History of A Tribe Called Quest” and I know I’m psyched as fuck to see this. Somewhere in 20110 this hits the streets, so keep your eyes open for it!
Now here is a very talented producer from Paris who goes by the name of Mister Bibal. A few days ago he released his brand new EP entitled “R” and I had to stream this one killer joint called “The Past” featuring Chiky B, cuz it’s nice like that. Go and support this guy, because €3 via is a pretty good price. Thanks to Ray Dork for putting me on.

In 2008 Stones Throw created a triple 12-inch box set, all based around the Miami Winter Music party “Hella International”. Piet Parra did the sleeve. Madlib remixed two J Dilla tracks from Ruff Draft, “The $” and “Make ‘em NV” that appeared exclusively on this box set. Many of the other tracks – collabs between artists like Dam-Funk & Baron Zen, Four Tet & Aloe Blacc, Percee P & Koushik, Madlib & Karriem Riggins (as Supreme Team) – also appeared here first, and were later released the Chrome Children Vol. 2 CD. This remains the only vinyl release for most of these tracks and Stones Throw has a limited amount for sale again, so get a copy of this limited edition vinyl HERE!
