Bomb's Ticking


Before I entered the world of electronica, booming bass, house, raves, etc. I was very into reggae rock, and the surrounding genres. I use to light up frequently to bands such as The Expendables, Stone Senses, Iration, Pepper, Slightly Stoopid, Mad Caddies, Rebelution, etc.

Well here is a super laid back track from Iration's upcoming album. Again I am not going to post a download link should blogger delete the whole post so here is the track on youtube. Light it up.

Distant Relatives


Damien Marley and Nas have been working on an album titled Distant Relatives. I am incredibly excited for this album, and I can't wait to see what these two geniuses have in store for hip hop and music in general. If you never caught their prior collaboration on Road to Zion on Damiel Marley's album Road to Jamrock then you need to educate yourselves.

The song Strong Will Continue was leaked online a little while ago. I happen to think its great stuff. I didn't want to put up the actual file so I am going to put up the song via youtube. Enjoy. Note: this song is not going to be on the final album, well this mix at least.



Bonus: The music video for Road to Zion

Beware of Dragons

Its been awhile now. Honestly despite being busy I haven't really been moved musically for some time now. I did happen to catch Chromeo at Club Nokia in downtown LA for NYE, which was awesome. Anyhow I found this track the other day on numerous blogs and I am digging it.

This song Pick Up The Phone is originally done by Canadian group Dragonnete. I don't know much about them. But I do know I enjoy her voice. Check out the myspace, and if you dig it I think they are headed to the US to do some touring. Anyhow the remix to this song is skillfully done by Michael Van She, which is one of the dudes from the Australian band Van She. It's pretty slick. Peep.

Oh and if you have been living under a rock the big news is that the Coachella lineup has been released. You will definitely find me there on Friday and Saturday, and I am contemplating Sunday (only for Phoenix, Miike Snow, and Thom Yorke).
