We’re a little late on this one, but better late than never. We featured KLIPMODE‘s 3P Series a while back with both Knxwledge and MNDSGN‘s releases, now we’d like to shine some light on Suzi Analog‘s contribution to the series. Suzi hails from Philadelphia and has been making a name for herself as a singer the past couple of years and more recently also as a producer. As with the other EP’s in the series, Suzi’s 3P also features 3 banging instrumentals but also an extra bonus cut called “Open Kall”. The tracks showcase a wide range of styles while all blending into Suzi’s unique sound. Having worked with artists/producers such as Georgia Anne Muldrow, Dudley Perkins, Devon and Knxwledge in the past, expect to hear more of her own productions in the future. One collaboration currently in the making is a song with La Melodia on their new release. Download Suzi Analog’s 3P over at Bandcamp.

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. “7^th 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.

TOKiMONSTA, the official first lady of Brainfeeder shows us that the current beatscene won’t be dominated by men only. TOKiMONSTA (Jennifer Lee) born and raised in the South Bay area of Los Angeles,  was an unfocused pupil of classical piano. However, she has come to use this background to create vast textural soundscapes by utilizing live instruments, percussion, digital manipulation, and dusty vinyl. Through the creation of beats, she is able to fuse the sounds of the past with current music sensibilities into something advanced all while preserving old school vibes. Her live performance is exciting as well as astounding intricate using a laptop, drum pad, MIDI controller, and an analog Roland SP 404. She is fearless and energetic having performed with the likes of Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Nosaj Thing, Gaslamp Killer, and many other of her fellow beat makers.
