Born Free No Freedom No Free

[wpaudio url=”http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3640368/mia-born_free.mp3″ text=”M.I.A. – BORN FREE” dl=”0″] M.I.A. is back with her first single of her third album. It’s definitely the opposite of what I was expecting from miss Arulpragasam, but this certainly isn’t a bad thing at all. Instead of her characteristic hip-hop meets electronic music meets world music trademark, this track is about a ten […]

Up & Down the Stairs they Come

Mondkopf – Deaf House (stream) The Toulousian prodigy Mondkopf never fails to amaze and bewilder. His entire discography is a wonderful trip of intense sounds and noises, printed with his recognizable unique touch of captivating synthesizers and a perfectly dosed pinch of distortion. His old tracks never really get old, par example see his remix of […]

Disco Warriors: The O’Jays

Item 1 on the agenda: I shall henceforth spell Disco with a capital ‘D’, as it is a proper noun. And if primary school taught me anything, it’s that girls can be cruel and heartless. And also that proper nouns start with capital letters. Also don’t eat worms. Or bits of wood. And don’t punch […]

It’s a London Thing

I’ve found myself in a bit of a predicament lately… I keep listening to all this UK Funky, Dubstep (the minimal percussive stuff as opposed to the hectic stuff featured on this lol-worthy tumblr) Glitch Hop, Juke, Future-Garage etc, and as a result have taken a temporary break from what I normally listen to. I’m […]

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes

Skepticism used to predominate my musical household when it came to contemporary music, and particularly when it came to our generation’s artists who tried to do jazz or soul or something along those lines. I would’ve pshawed at pretty much any artist releasing a funk or blues or whatever genre record, and dismiss them for not  playing […]

You Can’t Direct the Wind, But You Can Adjust Your Sails

So apparently it’s almost summer in the Northern Hemisphere, wherever that is. Though around 90% of the earth’s population hangs out there so I suppose it’s not fictional. Anyroad, I’m relatively jealous. See I’ve always had a prime interest in chilling out, and through extensive research I’m going to decide summer chillin’ is best. In […]

My Ghetto Eyes on His Ghetto Ass

Is this post an easy way out for me to post a picture of my first love, last love, only love, Pharrell Williams? Might be. My favourite producer ever has teamed up with that one hot chick who likes to crash your ppaarrtyy and kiss your MC, Uffie. I was a bit skeptical about this conjunction of musicians at […]
