Seams‘ video for “Glitch,” stitched together using footage from the public domain archives, seems to accentuate an impending doom due to our industrial reliance on computers. Yeah, we’re no worried about that one either. If you’re diggin’ these sounds, Seams has been ever so kind to let us download Juvenile Rush free on his bandcamp plus stems for the remixing heads out there. About a week ago I said I’d share his remix of Bibio’s “All The Flowers,” so here ya go. Seams would go really well in a live outdoor environment with Phaseone…damn, that’d be an attractive night. Throw some Dntel into that mix and well, I think I better keep the rest of that comment to myself.
“DOOM originally recorded “One Beer” over a beat which had just been used by J Dilla on Jaylib’s track “No Games.” Madlib made this remix of the song, “One Beer (Drunk Version)” and burned the only copy to a CD, which then went missing in his chaotic and cluttered studio…” [via stones throw]
It has been three years today since the death of J Dilla and his influence on beats and the hip-hop way of life has not at all lessened. St. Louis’ Phaseone works his usual charm with this delicate spin on Donuts standout “Walkinonit.” Watch Erykah Badu [as gorgeous as ever] talk about hip-hop and her intentions with “The Healer” here. Live video below.
It is euphoria when you listen to a hip-hop classic (ie. Digable Planets Blowout Comb, A Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauders, The Pharcyde Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde or of course Wu-Tang’s Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers). Well during my first listen to cloud.’s most recent, Pimp Steak, I experienced that same euphoria – this album isn’t going to leave my iPod, my playlists or my car for years. Yeah, that’s a bold statement, but I haven’t heard beat conducting this impressive since Dilla’s Donuts – and as on par and comparable to [in terms of quality, not aesthetic, output or the like] Madlib’s Beat Konducta volumes. A great vibe from Pimp Steak is that cloud. is offering the album FOR FREE via a MySpace blog and only asking for donation. Get it here. If you’re in NY, cloud. is conveniently playing a show Monday at Glasslands, an art gallery opening on Friday and you can rest assured knowing that he’ll be playing at a FMLY event asap.
myspace praise: “Yo Cloud man, the more I listen to Pimp Steak, the more it souinds like an underground classic! On the real, one of the illest instrumental beat compilations i’ve heard ever!”
“j dilla changed my life”
“nothing like waking up in the clouds”
Alright, so I’m not great at picking out quotes, but you get it, now go get it. While you’re at it, pick up his beat tape Ice Cream Cola right hurr. Both are must haves and both are free, but suggested donation.
I just came upon this site while looking up the sheep to human ratio in Iceland. If you’re curious, there are twice as many sheep as there are people. Anyways, difusor covers a great selection of graffiti artists in the Barcelona area as well as hosts galleries and such. If you’re in that area anytime soon drop these guys a line and I’m sure they’ll show you a great time.
