Certainly

Scrimshire first came to my attention back in April 2008 where I naively named him 12" of the week. Nearly a year down the line and I've not only realized that no one gives 2 pence about a boy and his blogs release of the week . . but,

... I've also been blessed with some more material from the man.

A 7" inch by the name of 'Certainly' - On side1, another exquisite vocal performance from longtime favourite Inga-Lill Aker. Seriously. And on Side2, Rob Hynd on vocals of a slightly steppier remix from King Knut. Again, beautifully put together.

What makes it so much better is that I know there's a longplayer on the way. If the consistent quality of his prior releases are anything to go by, it could be a little bit special.

Check the man on myspace. Check the release's on juno (digi/physi). And hang tight for the album.

March Of The Zapotec / Realpeople Holland

Released under Pompeii records, this new double ep March Of the Zapotec / Realpeople Holland solidifies 22 year old Zach Condon's reputation as one of the most talented songwriters of this decade. Influenced by a love of Balkan Folk music and trips abroad where he "found a band of kids who'd walk around with thrift-store instruments. They weren't Gypsies- they were just so in love with that music".

Beirut's debut Lp Gulag Orkestar created a mixture of weathered imagery and Eastern European sounds that brought a freshness greatly needed in the 'Indie' scene. This third effort possibly draws more influences from Eastern Europe than The Flying Club Cup Beirut's second Lp did. It takes you on a journey out of your seat and into a place you read about or saw in a Emir Kustarica movie.

March Of the Zapotec / Realpeople Holland is out 16/2/09

knXwl3dG3.

beats are everywhere these days. You can't go three myspace clicks without finding a man plugging his latest offerings. but Only some have got the little bit extra needed for the song to be reverb-ing around the mind so long after listening.

Ghosts in my Machine

milton jackson came into my view sometime last year.

There's an album on Freerange coming in '09. Crash. February 16th.

this track has already been released somewhere along the line. but just try getting it out of your head once it's in.

sunrise music

It's not so picturesque here, but there's always a certain beauty about the sun coming up.

excuse the video. I can't find the mp3333333.

goodmorning

Homage to Premier

to king of the chops. .

MP3: Focus... - Homage To Premier (Ft. Royce Da 5'9, Phonte & Stat Quo)
(ZSHARE)

Focus... = underrated.

Reminds me I haven't posted about luda/premier - MVP. . .!

More Blues than Mathematics

sounding incredibly fresh this morning. before all of you are up.

Worth a Purchase

EDIT: The 'Oh rassss' soundclip is a bit tooo much.

Love Me Like This

just in case some of you have been so uncultured as to have not gone hunting for the blatent sample that floatingpoints has flipped for this. Real to Reel.

& if you've been so dry and have not even come across the said track (via the link). . .well. . . get at me for a re-up..

as i've heard it put - 'the greatest free track ever'.

for my one and only laaaady. .

a new path

two very talented individuals come together on this short, self released EP; 'A New Path' - - - >

vocalist LP hailing from NZ beautifully riding the outer planetary beats of Londons k15.

Theres been little to no promotion for this - it's purely about two people lost in music coming together through their sounds.

proving that sometimes simplicity is the best thing.

check the EP @

A M A Z O N M P 3

Spacebass

If it's house that you want, make this your sunday night come-up/come-down. It'l work either way. Faze action the guest this week . . . . . but in fairness, there are deep crates all round.

EDIT: and it's freeeee.

Think Twice (Henrik Schwarz Remix)

thankyou Neil.

Bodied.

I don't believe i've ever seen anyone disassemble someone else to this degree.

It doesn't mean you can't like Saigon.

You just have to applaud this.

MP3: Joe Budden - Pain In His Life (Saigon Diss)

toooooo many quotables.

Label to watch. .

Why?

Firstly because of RAMP16

Declaime + Flying Lotus

1. Whole Wide World featuring Pattie Blingh
2. Whole Wide World Instrumental
3. Lit Up
4. Lit Up Instrumental
5. Keep It Moving Instrumental

then secondly thirdly fourthly fifthly and sixthly because of Clouds, FaltyDL, Fulgeance, Zomby and Slugabed.

see?

Ryan Leslie/Kid Cudi in Studio

I'm not one for the excess hiphop videos that clog your favourite hiphop blogs. the mixtape trailers, vlogs and commercialized sending that goes on. no.

but I love watching R.leslie in the studio.

Seen on one of those blogs.

On Deck

daru,black milk and some guy called Ab.

It's a banger.

Mpthree is easily found.

Make Up's to Break Up's

I just remembered Method Man.

How's he living?

Orchestral Lab

'Orchestral Lab' has been signed to Punchdrunk. Oh yes it has.

.. but people still need to come through with deals for the others. .

Check the boy out;

Guido's myspace

No doubt someone who need's watching over 2009. But how many bristol boys can we watch?

hazyville

Actress.

out now. Via Werkdiscs (Check for the LUKID. .)

so subtle that i need to put the speakers right down on minimum to fully enjoy it. it's best when you just hear slithers of it, if you move you miss a bit, is the track playing any more? or is it my flatmates IBM thinkpad humming next door...

MP3: Actress - I Can't Forgive You

the album will be sending me to sleep for the forseeable future. . .

in a good way.

Nonsense

would if i could.

HDB020

HDB020
A. Cooly G - Narst
AA. Cooly G - Love Dub / Love Dub refix

Go check the AA. to find out why I'm excited.

Props to the dissensusian who passed this info on. .

Let's Go

MP3: Pac Div - Let's Go
(zshare)

worthy of multiple b2b spins. . some new Pac Div. Cuts slightly at the end but thats because its lifted from their new tape. . Coming soon.

The future of my HipHop listening. Even went all out with a zshare mirror. .

Yesterday

I like this beat because it reminds me of The Wire.

spot the similar sample. well maybe it's not a sample. maybe all American phones sound like that.

MP3: Ras G - Yesterday

ps. big up to alll the short of sleep heads who are tuning into Gilles Peterson's first Live show for 2 years.

Dot Rotten & Mega 12 on Westwood

I wanted to write something after this but I think i'm too confused. Theres a lot to take in.

Particularly that line about ghana.

Definitely got moves to make this year. . and this has got me anticipating if not fully ready for what he could bring.

Foreign Exchange

I'd scream like a bitch to get this live show to the UK.

the videos a bit long, and theres some inaudible chatting in it. . but it kind of gives you an idea of how on point it would be.

The other news with these guys is that THEY'VE ONLY GONE AND DROPPED SOME VINYL

but go slowly on it because I haven't got round to purchasing it yet. And for the real real supporters. You can get signed from Nicolay's store.

And is it just me or did this not get any real limelight when it came out? Was I the only one to feel this?

Disko

I'm an early riser. but when I wake-up in my current dwelling, it's still too dark not to need a light on. It's not a nice place. And thats without going into the aesthetics of the neighbourhood.

where do I find my comfort?

in my headphones.

and since it's exam time, I've had to ban all music with vocals.

So it was kinda perfect when Nalden slung over Slumgullion's 'Disko' early this morning.

Slumgullion = Dok + SirOj + Kid Nap.

And it's too good to give away for free really.

Thankyou to all involved.

MP3: Slumgullion - Disko (8 TRACK-ERR)

- -

also been killing Ras G's Ghetto Sci Fi recently. Lets hope the revision goes in and I don't just come away with a complete knowledge of that albums breaks.

LV x Kanye West

Just so you know what the 'in crowd' are talking about.

We're All In Power

And I thought blu was the the creative drive behind them. Need. to. think. again.

Next level.

Essential #1: The Untitled Dub

And so the first big one of 2009. Absolutely shell shocked.

It's Martyn-esque but...And dare I say it...

Bigger.

a controlled build, you need your mind more than your subs.

And that's how I like it.

....

7EVEN (Label) (On Player)

F (Producer)

Not only do you need to keep tabs on what they do in the future, but theres also a healthy discography (considering how long they've been going) - for you to track.

NO HYPE

it’s the return of the black moors with no fez
it’s eerie like that documentary on lisa lopez
pentagrams pyramids conspiraspicies with goat heads
knock down the levees
knock down the projects
start another project
build another object
a drive thru touchscreen doctrine for me to digest
just horses with our blinders on
drivin’ by the obvious
ridin’ by the obvious
glidin’ by the ovbious
regardless who you vote for
if the mind dont grow
and the poverty line don’t go
but the dope keep coming
and the tv keep flashing images of a
sports car
then you bound for a coke war
the meek get clowned by the coke law
the sheep get drowned in the folklore
then lulled to sleep by tom brokaw
what a pitty
the hope on a politicians tongue
never ever trickles down the city
so if a nigga put a presidents mask on
and run up in the bank with a mac saying gimme
i aint glad at him
but i aint mad at him

if anybody ask you who i be
say
a painter with a felt pen who drew ali
im like cassius when i blast molasses
out the ass of the masses
from fulton street mall to gratiot
im handin out free at last kits

“yo jay where ya staff at?”

“Green (Lantern) said you threw it”

yeah.
i outgrew it

some blogs said “you blew it”
nigga fuck yo blog

jigga man said you cant knock the hussle dog
im on the same launchin pad that shot russel off
thats why i stay dougie

MP3: Jay Electronica - Swagger Jacksons Revenge

What You Won't Do For Love

love step love step love step. We can all do without another genre approximation. Thats why I left the two words apart.

Bobby Caldwell. but I guess this gets a bit Baltimore at times. However, I bet when it drops at the dance it works. It goes a bit filter house in a few places too. Never mind.

-----

I've just broken one of my new years resolutions. Can you set them again?

-----

The new wiley *diss* to Goodz has messed with my head. Goodness knows where he's taking that one. The man needs to make an album of instrumentals.

-----

RIP Freddie Hubbard

another great who's work i'l only fully get to grips once they've gone.

-----

Benji just cleared the airwaves with a stellar show. new-ness from front to back. Highlight possibly a new phlash & friends track. . And if there is a dub version of the Martyn remix of Shed. . I will be on it.

----

Goodnight

Do You Mind

I play this several times a day.

But I play the L.D. remix several times more. (ON HIS PLAYER)

The information I have received suggests it isn't on the vinyl.

Big shame because it slays the sheer flatness of the dj Swerve remix.

Nonetheless, Crazi cousins will invade sometime this year. And it starts here. . vinyl/digital drops on the 26th.

February 10th

42 tracks dedicated to Dilla.

Get your pre-orders on.

Soy Cubano

today I started teaching myself to work without music in my ears.

at the end of the day, as a reward, I treated myself to this.

original de manzanillo and Omara.

it'l make you move

In Search Of Hope

You Need this.

People are right; it's particularly short. But incredibly endearing and unbelievably effortless.

a whole load of hyperbole there.

......

From S H O O K M A G #4 :

The genius is back, holding the listener with his subtle musical charm and engaging keyboard trickery. While some may feel the album tracks hint more of promise rather than talent fulfilled, the sum of its parts devastate in an austere way. Clubland will be rocked to its foundations with the incredible “So Amazed” and be mesmerised by the sonic jewel of “On A Vibe”.

Soft vocals hold hands with jazz licks and Kaidi’s trademark frenetic keyboard style. This is a stunning album from an artist who for me, bar Robert Glasper, has no equal.
