The Foreign Exchange

Today's post, "Something to Behold" is a perfect example of what these two do best. Enjoy. Highly recommended.

Midnight Lab Band

"How could I not know about this shit, when it's being done right here in my backyard?" My guess is that the secret bunker lab that these guys work their sonic experiments in is somehow off the grid.

Max Tundra

Few, if any, current producer/musicians out there manage to be as dense and melodically satisfying as Max Tundra, unapologetically birthing electronic pop so saccharine that it reminds of you of your mom's favorite 90s tracks from Lisa Stansfield and Desiree.

Menehan Street Band

Look no further than today's post, a truly awesome cover of Bill Conti's classic "Going the Distance" from... well, after one listen, you should know. And if not, follow it up with James Brown's "Living in America."

Blktop Project

“How did I not know about this group?!” It’s one of the most satisfying questions music fans can ask themselves. You work hard to follow an artist, group, or label, constantly staying on top of releases yet still an entire project can exist under your astute radar. Such is...

Sample Party: Breakw...

Turns out that one of the few truly monstrous tracks from Daft Punk’s latest, Human After All, almost completely jacks the opening of “Release the Beast,” a little known electro-funk stomper by 2-and-out late 70s jazz-funk outfit Breakwater. I felt compelled to post the...

The Dragons

Leave it to Strictly Kev of DJ Food to unearth a monster of a forgotten California funk record. I guess the most immediately interesting thing about The Dragons is the fact that Daryl Dragon, one third of the Dragon-brother trio, is more famous as the “Captain” from 70s...

Big week of new music in store. Advanced apologies as the job has gotten the best of me over the last few weeks. But in that time I’ve received a superfluity of sickness, some truly unreal gems, with the biggest, baddest and most exciting the newest record from The Cinematic Orchestra,...

DJ Reset

This isn’t a new track or something entirely all that rare, but after my iTunes shuffler recently landed on this excellent re-edit/mash-up by NYC’s DJ Reset I felt compelled to post it. Although you may be familiar with other more infamous mash-up artists (Go Home Productions,...

Tommy Guerrero

Someone once asked me what constituted a “summer jam” and my answer was simple: If you think Sinbad would be into it at Reggae Sunsplash. But since then, I think I’ve refined my definition of a quality June-to-September burner…with a little help from Tommy Guerrero. As...

Zero 7 w/ Jose Gonza...

When I first heard Zero 7′s now-classic EP 2 in March, 2000, little did I know that nearly 6 months later, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, that I’d revisit the record with much more necessity, using it to buffer a lot of what was happening in the world around Brooklyn. The...
