We live in an age of remixes, refixes, reworks, and mashups that all but obliterates conventional notions regarding sampling, interpolation, cover songs, and collaborations. That being the case, I’m not exactly sure what to call what Atlanta’s Stori Brooks did with Thundercat’s “Lone Wolf and Cub” in this all-to-brief video[…]
Bassist extraordinaire Thundercat channels Shuggie Otis and Sho Kosugi in the bushido-blade-blessed video for his smooth-as-fuck new tune “Them Changes”. “Them Changes” is from the frequent Flying Lotus collaborator’s newest project, the mini-album ‘The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam’, out now on Brainfeeder.

I caught Stranger Cat live opening for Serengeti and Yoni Wolf of WHY? in Providence a couple months back and was absolutely blown away by their performance. Cop their album, ‘In[…]
This week’s Monday Magick entry is what some might call a “hidden jem” or “dusty classic” from one of the great “lost albums” of the Psychadelic era. “Devil and the Sea” is probably one the least wigged-out tracks from the decidedly occult-tinged self-titled 1968 debut from freaked out Los Angeles[…]

This week’s Monday Magick entry is a massive tune from one of the most celebrated, not to mention most sampled, Jazz keyboardists of all time, Bob James. And while “The Golden Apple”, from James’ 1975 LP ‘Two’, isn’t necessarily one of his most sampled tunes, it is one of the[…]
Hip-Hop fanatics everywhere have been waiting for what feels like forever for Queens emcee Despot to drop a record. Well, he finally did pretty much exactly that earlier today, and holy fucking fuck was it ever worth the wait! Produced by E*Vax of Ratatat, “House of Bricks” is a joint[…]

Imageyenation dandies, Athens, Georgia Indie-Pop outfit of Montreal, make their second Monday Magick appearance this week with “Enemy Gene”. Taken from their tenth studio album, 2010’s ‘False Priest’, the tune features guest vocals from Alternative Soul/Pop singer Janelle Monáe. The impetus for my posting “Enemy Gene”, an uptempo, dreamy number[…]
