Young Black Preachers - Lunch Special III
Lunch special II was released last week I believe, and here's the follow up. Featuring Jeremiah Jae and crew pushing the boundaries of off-kilter and experimental hip hop further into the abyss. Nicholas - I Got It
Just revisiting some slomo house grooves from Italys' Nicholas (who recently released his Depth of My Soul LP). I like the way he uses those gospel-esque vocals, that kinda Chicago spiritual/uplifting house but with a bit more chugg.Spell - Sith Alchemy 9
The bro Spell just sent through his latest beat tape. Don't even know if this guy ever sleeps. Not only are the beats dope, his DJ skills are class. Thought I'd drop this vid of him from a while back cuttin' up Mr Paul Henry... Planet Mu Records- Bangs and Works
Nice Comp from Legendary Label Planet Mu: Bangs & Works
"To those that don’t know, 'footwork' is a hyper rhythmic, abstract dance music, pitched around 160bpm, that largely consists of a template of cut-up samples and phrases that are twisted into repetitive rhythms & shapes, to offbeat, syncopated drum machine patterns and pumping sub-bass lines.
Until now, bar a few low key vinyl 12”s and local mix cds plus tracks posted on sites like youtube and imeem, 'footwork' has remained very local to Chicago"

Mr Dibiase - Yesterdaze & Travelin (ft. Scanz)
Couple of recent joints from Dibiase, easing up on the 8bit crunkness and smoothing things out nicely. Breezy flows comin' from Scanz to compliment the beat nicely as well. Diggin' it.Yesterdaze 92bpms by mr.dibiase

Sound Directions - On The Hill
I know everybody is on or are gonna be on that Medicine Show 11 (I've been bumpin' it and of course it's heat!) but I finally picked up the Sound Directions LP on wax a few weeks back and yup, still killer. Been on that 'eavy natty vibe too, so this track has been a regular on the sound system (and I'm sure it'll hold me down till 11 arrives in the post).Anworth Kirk - S/T
This has been on high rotation for me lately, could possibly be due to my recent activities of late night/early morning blazin' and reading of Poe. Could easily be the soundtrack to some arthouse horror flick (The Wickerman seems to be providing some influence?) as it blends european folklore, field recordings and melancholy drones for a truly haunting yet beautiful experience.Sending this one out to Trish Keenan of Broadcast who just passed away R.I.P.
Odd Future & Co.
Odd Future have been dealing too my regular Hip Hop cravings lately. They have a youthful and fun approach to things and their blog and free mixtapes are a great way to get the feel for the momentum of the crew. L.A freshness.
MellowHype From the mixtape Yellow and white.
Fuck it, Check this one too. Too dope not to post, its Saturday so stoop to this.

Maxmillion Dunbar - Rhythm Track For Rashied Ali
Really diggin' Ramp Recordings Maxmillion Dunbar, this is his latest offering released last October. Diggin the slomo electro hiphop vibe on the album, although this particular cut's got more of a house groove to it.Alphabethead - Music From The 1960's & 70's (Volume 2)
Another excursion into 1960's and 70's music with turntable madman Alphabethead...This is my second mix of 1960’s and 70’s music. It’s assembled from vinyl, in various conditions, all of which I inherited – the fuzz, crackle and other spurious record noise are all included! Once again it’s mostly pop and psych although this time a little more hard rocking due to the inclusion of Led Zeppelin, Hendrix and May Blitz, a monstrous band on Vertigo records. I made sure I included some Kiwi groups from the era; The Underdog Blues Band, Human Instinct and The Fourmyula’s quintessential Sixties tune ‘Nature’ all make an appearance. Other tracks of special interest are The Beach Boys lesser known ‘Feel Flows’ which is in my opinion their most psychedelic tune and Spirit’s ‘The Other Song’ which Gonjasufi used as a rhythmic canvas last year. It’s mixed in a Hip Hop style with scratches, drum-breaks and cut-up sample segues! Please give it a spin – I hope you enjoy.

Acanthus - Le Frisson Des Vampires
It's always quiet for new release music during this time so I find myself delving deeper into re-issues or discovering forgotten gems of the past. As always, the Finders Keepers team are always there to point you in the right direction. This is the soundtrack to Jean Rollins' (who past away last month) cult masterpiece Le Frisson Des Vampires, a euro-sexploitation vampire flick which features Parisan teenagers playing ghoul infused psych-kraut-funk-rock-etc
Tilahun Gesesse For Ethiopia
Sending this one out to the bro Riki Gooch aka Mr Dangerspiel who put me onto this.
Over the past year I've gotten heavily into ethnic/world music from Lollywood to Vietnamese funk as well as the Ethiopian and Nigerian scenes to name a few. Anyways, this clip from Ethiopian singer Tilahun Gesesse (also known as Tlahoun Gèssèssè & Telahun Gesesse) is just amazing.
Cuthead - The Poncho
From the free album from Cuthead, features some dope hip hop joints and even a couple nice house tracks as well. First came across Cuthead through the track with Cohen & Fatima a while back which was banging. Look foward to seeing what he gets up to this year.Willie Lindo -Midnight
The NZ Vinyl Appreciation Society put me onto the video of Eldico Records and I noticed this familiar track from Willie Lindo, which I also remembered from Tranqills' Chips & Cheese.
The Funkacise Gang - Funkacise (Boogie Business Edit)
Had little time for blogging between the copious amount of food and alcohol consumed and general lazing about in the sun. But here's a track I'd been jamming a lot during the tail end of the year. Gonna need a medium to large dose of funkacise in the coming weeks thats for sure...
