Headhunters On Plug:
For those unaware it all started out when Black Spade moved to the west and met fellow producer Proh Mic at the Do-Over in LA. They hit it off from the bat and soon brought in I,Ced. Ced was living in Hawthorne California at the time thus the Hawthorne Headhunters collective were born. When Coultrain also joined, the group released their debut EP in 2009 with HVW8. Along the way a lot has changed and Proh Mic and Ced decided to go their own way and persue a solo career. Black Spade and Coultrain recorded their “Myriad of Now” album which will be released next year on Plug Research and has lots of elements of hip hop, soul, funk, pop and electronic influences. It speaks on spirituality, sexuality and everything in between. You might remember us posting “Teleport” of of the “If You Were My Baby” single. Next up is their fresh 5-track EP which is available on  as of today.

Robin’s Dirty Secret:
Scandinavian wonder produced, Robin Hannibal, has not only been working miracles on the Boom Clap Bachelors‘ “Mellem Dine Læber” release, but also on Szjerdene‘s single “Lead The Way” on Plug Research. Robin’s little secret is out. He and his girlfriend Louie from LA made a song together entitled “Dirty Secrets”. Produced by Robin of course in the style that we’ve gotten so familiar with, but this time with some Louie sprinkled all over it instead of some Coco (Quadron). I kinda like Allison’s vocals and honestly can’t hate on Robin’s production skills either. So better I suggest you guys groove to this soulful electronic indie pop joint.

Robin Hannibal grew up in Copenhagen and is THE man behind both Quadron and Boom Clap Bachelors. Last year I got his “Bobby” EP, which dropped on Circulations. Honestly I didn’t think it was quite dope enough to post about, so I decided to let this one slide. Now more than a year later I get this email from Plug Research about how they’re re-releasing the EP so to speak. Wasn’t all that interested until I heard this one bonus track that made me change my mind. You can still cop a vinyl copy at Rush Hour or go for a digital download including bonus track at .

Coincidence? I think not. This morning I posted I, Ced‘s new bonus track and what do I spy with my little eye some hours later? Some brand new Hawthorne Headhunters shit! Apparently the guys released a new single containing two new tracks. The first being “If You Were My Baby” and on the flipside “Teleport”. Get that ish on and watch out for their album to drop via Plug Research later this year.

This remix has been in the works for quite some time. Bilal is a mysterious dude. You never know what might or might not move him. Same goes for Black Milk. These guys move at their own pace and at their own times. Initially, upon listening to the roughs of the album, “The Dollar” was one of the tracks that led Plug Research to sign Bilal. Buy Airtights Revenge (Bonus Track Version) on . VTech/Plug Research.
