In late 2006/early 2007, Yukimi Nagano was still a fairly unknown vocalist from Sweden. Little Dragon didn’t exist yet, at least not to the public, and Yukimi was probably best known for her vocals on several Koop projects. And then there was this track…
GE-OLOGY is probably best known for his production work for the likes of Mos Def, Vinia Mojica and Talib Kweli. Also a skilled visual artist he was also responsible for some of the iconic album artwork put out by Rawkus in the late 90′s, and up to today is also one of NY’s finest DJ’s.
In 2006 I first came across “Longin”, then said to be the first track to surface from GE-OLOGY’s album to be. That album never saw the day of light (although he did put out a GREAT mixtape featuring his productions on Female Fun in 2005), and the track ended up being released on Suite903′s #15 compilation only. Enjoy!

Last year Trackademicks dropped his [Re]Mixtape Vol. 3 which included his take on Little Dragon‘s “After The Rain”. Apparently the band liked it so much they commissioned him to do an official remix for “Looking Glass” off their latest album “Machine Dreams”.

AFTA-1 did it again. For GAS’D he put together a mix full of ▲❍▼❏ and you’re a fool if you don’t download this beautiful collection of moments right now. Nice to see that unreleased Muhsinah track produced by Flying Lotus on “Love Is Real Vol. 4: Vessels Behind A Moment”. We simply love the first draft of “7th Sun”, which is sounding off the chain! I heard we can expect more melodic goodness from AFTA-1 soon..
The months following the release of Love is Real Vol. 3 have again affirmed everything that GAS’D, myself and everyone else in the universe living for Love, truly believe in. We are all vessels, placed on this planet to create. Blessed with the freedom to choose our medium, true fulfillment lies in carrying out our calling to its fullest extent. Which is ultimately done, one moment at a time. One Now at a time.
We must choose to act in the present without limiting ourselves by the thought of tomorrow. Give our today our everything. Create at our peak for the only time that matters, NOW. Fulfilling our divine calling while fulfilling our life through love.
This is a collection of moments. Every one of these tracks has been the soundtrack to my life in many key moments throughout my journey. Including very recent ones. As this mix itself was created in a moment. One sleep-free night, three days ago while simultaneously finalizing it’s closing track. “7th Sun,” a rough draft of the most recent work for my upcoming album. So it’s only right that we also drop this mix at a moment’s notice.
Without further a do, Enjoy this collection of Love sounds old, new, and in-between from some past LIR favorites, some good friends, & hopefully some artists you may not have heard before. And of course, you know how we set the vibe…Dim the lights, light one up and float.

We posted the stream last week, because previously this AFTA-1‘s remix was exclusively available on, “Cotton : Drum”, the FREE promo CDR included in every GAS’D purchase. Because this track was so well received he decided to make the “Fortune” remix available to each and all in appreciation of the massive love he’s received for it. Artwork above is from Little Dragon‘s “Machine Dreams” and thanks for sharing Manuel..

First track is the Little Dragon – Fortune Remix from AFTA-1, which you can only get by supporting Gas’d and buying a ▲❍▼❏ tee at the Gas’d store … you can find some additional information about Gas’d below.
Gas’d is a clothing line created to uplift the massed by relaying one simple truth, “LOVE IS REAL”. Gas’d believes that there is a universal love within all of humanity that is stronger than the ignorance and hate that seems to thrive in our world . We are ALL human, and humanity is what matters. Love for each other and all of humanity can overcome nearly everything in this life. GAS’D will forever embrace this ideal and continue to spread it through clothing, art and all endeavors. GAS’D is ▲❍▼❏. Created By Imani Waddy.
The second remix by Bluntspeakers was made especially for the Little Dragon performance at the WATT in Rotterdam this Wednesday. Sad to say Brittany Bosco will probably not be performing due to problems with her passport. Nevertheless it’s still bound to be a great night.

Finally after his 2004 Soundtrack For Sunrise release, Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker (aka GB) returns with a free EP. Now it might not come close to his last album (not counting that strictly therapeutical Healing Tones crap from last year) but hey it’s free right? It features GB’s interpretations of (in his eyes) dope artists like Little Dragon, Flying Lotus, Muhsinah, Exile, A Race of Angels and yes…The Beach Boys. It’s a nice one to keep us hungry, but we need more of that 2004 flava! I just had to add After All featuring Joy Jones from Soundtrack For Sunrise, because it’s such a great and versatile album. Oh I almost forgot…click HERE for the free EP!
