Build An Ark, the Los Angeles-based community of singers, and musicians, release their third album ‘Love’ – and their hearts just keep getting bigger.
Build An Ark return with their third album ‘Love’, and their growth – both in sound and players – shows no signs of stopping. This record is their meditation on love – its varying forms and moods, its ecstatic and soothing powers. Build An Ark, under the production of Carlos Niño, have made an album which flows with a real range of volume and density, with arrangements and configurations contrasting against each other. The group has still kept their organic sound while adding several more layers, and charting a distinct progression from their previous two albums.
While Build An Ark is all about the collective expression, there are some notable players, including Impulse! violinist Michael White, singers Mia Doi Todd and Diana Moriera, Tribe co-founder Phil Ranelin, poet Kamau Daaood, spiritual baritone Dwight Trible (The Life Force Trio), and tireless arranger Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, all under the guidance of production standard-bearer Carlos Niño. The sound of ‘Love’ is the sound of a family at one with the universe – and it comes straight from the heart. Jan. 18th, Build an Ark will be playing at the Paradiso in Amsterdam for a One off show. After this they will travel to London to play at the Redbull Broadcast night together with IG Culture. Kindred Spirits.

Well here it is. Flying Lotus is back with the third installment of the “L.A.” series. We posted the TAKE remix of “Parisian Goldfish” as a Moovmnt exclusive months ago and sadly that is the dopest joint on the whole EP. From the six remaining tracks we had to share this “Infinitum” remix Dimlite did. The digital bonus remix from TAKE is also very nice, so congrats Mr. Klank! As a little bonus Warp wanted you to have this free bonus track “Auntie’s Lock” (with The Life Force Trio). If you like what you hear just go to iTunes and buy!

San Fran based Low Limit, one half of Lazer Sword, describe their sound as “your favourite top 40 rap shit chopped up into a tronado filled with razor blades and molasses or Frank Zappa rocking the home made Lil John tank top at the rooftop party”. This pretty much sums up “Inspirational Jumpsuit”.

Carlos Nino & Lil Sci Present What’s the Science? Is the question we direct to all those that dwell on the Planet Earth! From the Mother Continent of Africa, to the hills of Europe, on over to the wilderness of North America, all the way back to the Coast of Asia, living under the umbrella of Hip-Hop Culture. We ask you all, What’s the Science? We are living in a time where Hip-Hop Culture is one of the most powerful forces that exists around us that helps unite people of all races, colors, creeds, religions and schools of thought under one flag. It’s time to give proper thanks and praise and reverence to the ERA that raised us and guided this same MOOVMNT, that still exists today, on the next level. We stand here before you as Students of the same conscious MOOVMNT that birthed the likes of AFRIKA BAMBATAA, KRS ONE, RAKIM, PUBLIC ENEMY, BRAND NUBIAN, X-CLAN, POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS, KMD, THE NATIVE TONGUE and countless others that brought forth an entire essence that took the world by storm and made it cool to be intelligent. What’s the Science? How long will it take us to stand up strong again to make sure that the youth have some substance to feed off in order to grow into powerful, resourceful and responsible adults able to make positive changes to the world in which we live. What’s The Science?
Love this verse… Thanks to J.Robinson. What’s the science?? in stores MAY 20th..

Just when we started to get sick of all the artists doing Dilla (G.O.A.T) tributes, I heard this beautiful beautiful song. A new version of ATCQ’s Find a way by Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. Maybe one of my favorite tracks of 2008. At least it made some people cry…… and some people will have this on repeat for a couple of days.
