Me and Stef (Riva Starr) were out vinyl shopping in Williamsburg, Brooklyn earlier this year when we met this dude ranting in the street about some 3 day bender he had been on (and possibly still was….) we hooked him into our serato and chopped him up into a tune. I just wish we’d caught his full name……. – Norm (Fatboy Slim)
True is officially released 1st July.
Six months after his Lost My Dog debut with ‘System Check EP’, James Dexter is back again with another four-tracker in the shape of ‘True’.
The tracks on True show Dex in typically fine deep form, where garage-influenced percussion rides over bottomless subs and tees up vintage chord stabs.
Riton’s Can’t Stop The Clock will be here 1st July. For now, here’s a fresh new jam featuring Cassie )(or her sampled vocals)…you can also check out plenty more info at his SoundCloud.
Domo Genesis is back with a new tune, premiered courtesy of Ashley Outrageous for her Playlist, Vol. 3 mixtape.
Maino & The Mafia keep the music coming with the pretty self-explanatory ‘Family Over Everything’.
Something new from someone new (to us), check out this R&B track from Jelisa Shanel.
More great music from Prince & 3rdEyeGirl; this time, the great one recreates a song that had been in bootleg circulation for the last few decades.
MarieMarie released a few snippets that definitely leaves us wanting to hear more….below is one of those snippets (as well as a very vivid description of her music).
MarieMarie has the gift of hearing dreams whispered down to her from the tops of wind turbines. These winged steel giants were the main inspiration for the singer, songwriter and harpist to write the title song of her debut album DREAM MACHINE. The poetic songs are like surreal paintings in which everything flows together and changes: nature, man, machine – dream and reality. They create a whirlwind at the centre of which this punk elf with her copper curls attracts everything. Her music, which she calls folktronic pop, is rooted in folk tradition, its antennas pointing towards electropop. The songs are power stations full of energy and emotion, especially on stage, where MarieMarie flutters between her harp and the musicians of her live band like a glowing satellite. She unleashes a veritable thunderstorm of emotions: sometimes soft, sizzling lightning, then thunder in full orchestral force, switching between tension and release – charged with electrogrooves. And there comes a point where everyone in the crowd is moving and MarieMarie spreads out her arms in reverie and spins around like a wind turbine.
Just minutes ago, Starlito decided to drop a free mixtape on a whim for the fans on his Bandcamp. This is a collection of throwaways that won’t be on his upcoming album.
BONUS: If you enter one of these codes, you can get the tape for free….but don’t sleep because this offer won’t last for long.

Currently in progress.
Expect Spain to change their entire team or close to it against Tahiti on Thursday afternoon. While the Tahitians put up a decent showing for most of their 6-1 defeat to Nigeria, there’s obviously a bit of a different between Nigeria and Spain, as good as the Super Eagles are. A team of Segunda players would be favored over Tahiti, so Spain’s senior B team should fare just fine.
If you’re expecting a record win for Spain … well, don’t expect them to be that mean. La Roja’s biggest ever win is a 13-0 thumping of Bulgaria in a friendly back in 1933. Between Spain’s fetish for passing in circles for minutes on end and Tahiti’s reasonably competent showing against Nigeria, double-digit goals don’t seem terribly likely.
Also, they have a guy who’s better than Lionel Messi.
Snoop Lion is apparently as alive as ever….stream, tracklist and download link below.
Following the buzz from his debut reggae and dancehall inspired album, Reincarnated, Snoop Lion releases the Ashtrays and Heartbreaks mixtape. This newly-released collaboration infuses additional reggae and dubstep influences for a brand new sound.
Philly-born and raised, London-residing Max Marshall drops her latest record, the very soulful ‘Don’t Trip’. Her EP of the same name arrives 5th August. Check out the tune below.
JMSN remixes one of JMSN’s tracks from his latest project, †Priscilla†. I assume that this will be what we expect from Re-Twerk Vol. II (which drops on the 26th).
YG releases his first track as a member of Young Jeezy’s CTE. Produced by DJ Mustard.
I think Swedish Pop is either an untapped market or one that big companies have been using for a long time. Either way, we have a new song from Frida Sundemo below.
The below premiere is courtesy of Hot 97. A Better Tomorrow is on it’s way (hopefully on multiple levels, off-topic).
UPDATE: RZA decided to re-edit the song. Included below.
I’d expect a bunch of real emcees to be using this record in the near future. GENIUS drops August 1st.
I don’t really care much for Mathematics production, but these four spitters are definitely still worth their weight in Gold. The Answer drops next week.
