This has been by far the most un-magickal Monday I’ve experienced in recent memory, so Monday Magick will be taking this week off. We’ll be back with another entry of our magickal musical feature next week, or whenever the magick happens to find it’s way back into our lives.
Trip-Hop godfathers Massive Attack join forces with Alt-Rap hooligans Young Fathers for a guttural, motorik-driven Electro-Industrial audio track and a creepy sci-fi-inspired video on “Voodoo in My Blood”. “Voodoo in My Blood” is the first single from Massive Attack’s ‘Ritual Spirit’ EP, which also features Roots Manuva and former group[…]
Jazzy Synth-Funk with a Hip-Hop twist is the order of the day on “Akasha”, a slinky mind-expansion theme from Cali-based beatmaker and musician Mndsgn featuring Nanna B. on vocal duties. “Akasha” was released as a seven-inch vinyl single and MP3 download by the Akashik Records label in association with Stones[…]
Sometimes what you need on a Magickal Monday like today is some fun, random, nonsense. And that’s exactly what you’ll get from this week’s Monday Magick featured track, “Mystical Machine Gun”, a 1999 single from psychedelic Britpop band Kula Shaker’s second album ‘Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts’. “Mystical Machine Gun” is[…]
Watch FKA twigs, one of the flyest women in modern music, do nothing but roll around in bed looking fucking fly in her new video for her track “Good to Love”. “Good to Love” is a single which is probably from some as-yet-to-be-announced album or EP that the prolific singer[…]
Go inside the mind of overly loquacious emcee Aesop Rock, literally, with the bugged out video for his new tune “Rings”. “Rings” is the first single from Aesop Rock’s seventh full length solo LP ‘The Impossible Kid’, out April 29th on Rhymesayers Entertainment. Aesop Rock
Back from a rumored upstate bid, mysterious rapper Spark Master Tape is already serving up fresh #SWOUP in the form of “Livin’ Lavish”, the buzzy and bassy first single from his forthcoming ‘Silhouette of a Sunkken City’ LP. Seriously yo, that bassline is killing me! ‘Silhouette of a Sunkken City’[…]
This week’s Monday Magick entry is a little more cool and mysterious than the normal fare that appears in this space. A rare feat for a feature designed to showcase esotericism in popular music, I know. But this week’s song, a smooth bit of proto-Sophistipop titled “Casablanca Moon” by German[…]
Let your friends El Keter and Emeyesi love you down with a very special Valentine’s Day episode of the Clandestine Transmission! This week we fire up the WABAC machine and reminisce on loves lost and won via classic early-nineties Hip-Hop songs dealing with the subjects of love, relationships, and makin’[…]
Detroit rapper ZeelooperZ, of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigade Crew, is drugged out and manic as fuck on his trippy and Trappy new single “ISBD”. “ISBD” stands for “I Should Be Dead” by the way. The Bulletproof Dolphin-produced track is from his full length, ‘Bothic’, out February 19th. ZeelooperZ
Japanese Lolita style meets “mi vida loca” in the barrios of Tijuana, Mexico, with supernatural results, in the video for French Electro guy Breakbot’s “2GOOD4ME”. “2GOOD4ME” is from Breakbot’s brand new sophomore LP ‘Still Waters’, out now on Ed Banger Records. Breakbot
This week Monday Magick is bringing you something soft and fluffy in place of our usual dark and spooky offerings. The song in question is the decidedly upbeat “Your Magic is Working” from Athens, Georgia-based Indie-Pop outfit and multiple Monday Magick featuree of Montreal’s sixth LP ‘Satanic Panic in the[…]
