MACHINEDRUM – SXLND by LuckyMe Music Art Parties

LuckyMe is proud to present SXLND, the new 5 track EP from Machinedrum.

It’s been a great 18 months for Travis Stewart. Since we released his Many Faces EP in 2010 we’ve seen a succession of new hip hop, juke & 2step projects on labels Hot Flush, Planet Mu and of course LuckyMe. In Summer 2011 we released his underground smash Alarmaa which featured as part of Jackmaster’s FABRICLIVE 57 CD and tore apart Sonar Festival, clubs and Boiler Rooms alike. But now Stewart is back with Lucky Us for a project 2 years in the making – a sparkling take on Deep Chicago and Modern UK House entitled SXLND.

12” EP comes with Digital Download Card with exclusive Scuba Remix and cut-out Geisha inner sleeve.

Queensway – Biotic [CLIP] by QUEENSWAY

Solid track. Big up to Godfather Sage for the find.

This forthcoming two track EP from Deru on Mush Records is pretty great. Now we’ve got Deru’s music with vocals. Heard vocals in Deru’s stuff before, but usually pretty chopped up. Loved that too, but this is interesting to hear. Deru’s beats have always had a hip hop feel / influence to them, so it just makes sense that we’d get some new jams from him with rappers on them.

On the Mini-Mini-Me 7″, Deru collaborates with rappers for the first time, turning in sides featuring two Bay Area giants whose work has inspired the downtempo instrumentalist: Casual (Hieroglyphics) and Gift of Gab (Blackalicious). Casual turns “Spliff” into a celebration of his preferred method of getting high while on “Bad Bad Man” Gift of Gab drops his characteristic deep-voiced tongue-twisters over a vicious beat. Without vocals, these tracks wouldn’t be out of place on Deru’s albums. With verses by these two legends, however, Mini-Mini-Me stands apart from the rest of the producer’s catalog.

M83 Vs. Kayne West – “Midnight Life (The White Panda Mashup):”

Roots Manuva will release a brand new studio album, 4everevolution, via Big Dada/Banana Klan on October 11th, 2011. The album is just a few seconds under an hour long, consists of seventeen tracks and covers every style from wonky reggae through pop-funk, street spitting, straight up hip hop, sung ballads and epic death-disco. We think it’s his very best work since Run Come Save Me. We’re wondering (whisper it) whether it might be his best album… (sshh) ever.

The album mainly revolves around Roots’ own production and voice, with contributions from Banana Klan stalwarts including Ricky Ranking, DJ MK and Daddy Kope. In addition, on three tracks Mr Manuva introduces talented young singer Rokhsan. Other guests include Skin and Cass Lewis from Skunk Anansie, Elan Tamara and Spikey T. Production, meanwhile, comes from as far afield as Australia, Rodney Smith’s travels allowing him to meet beatmakers and producers all over the world.

Overall, though, the vision remains that of one man. Roots Manuva has honed his craft across four previous studio albums, picking up a MOBO, plus Brit and Mercury nominations along the way. This record, though, represents some of his freshest, most urgent work. Whether castigating politicians or himself, joking about girls or men in love with their computers, ruminating on the void at the heart of “urban” music or bigging himself up, crooning an apology or growling about “loins,” Roots Manuva remains one of the foremost lyricists and musicians of his generation.

WATCH ME DANCE
The first taste from this epic is already out and about in the form of “Watch Me Dance”. A dirty little funk ditty with its origins in Ricky Ranking’s earliest live performances with the Manuva band, Rodney demoed the track 18 months or so ago and then gave the parts to Toddla T to see what he could do with them. They both agreed that the results sounded more like a Toddla T track than a Roots Manuva track, so that version gave Toddla’s new album its name, but Rodney’s own version is also out and about. To get the world at large in the mood for the record to follow, we’re offering the chance to download Roots Manuva’s version of “Watch Me Dance” for free.

Is “Watch Me Dance” typical of the album that follows? No, it isn’t. This record is so varied that we couldn’t really pick a track to represent it. Just treat is as representing one facet of the many facets of a great recording artist…

Black Fabio is where it’s at. Destined for big things.

Black Fabio – Reggie Miller ft. Toni Royale by Rad Summer

Black Fabio continues to school the masses on the art of panty-dropping with their new series “Love Tips” and single “Reggie Miller”:

Everyone knows that Black Fabio is an expert on how to seduce young ladies. Wanting to share that knowledge with novice gigolos around the world, Black Fabio teamed up with the film crew from Let’s Do Lunch with Oreo Jones to craft an educational series of videos titled “Love Tips from Black Fabio”. The debut episode of “Love Tips” finds Black Fabio extolling the sophisticated taste and aphrodisiac powers of Boone’s Farm wine. Nothing but the best for Black Fabio’s lovers!

The Black Fabio mixtape by Oreo Jones and Action Jackson continues set hearts aflame across the internet. For the past 2 weeks, their single “Reggie Miller” has been featured on SIRIUS XMU’s My Old Kentucky Blog’s blog radio show. If you dig the track, we’d really appreciate it if you’d <3 and Tweet the record from Hypem.com so we can make our way up their Twitter chart!

When Oreo Jones debuted his Halloween costume last year Black Fabio, no one expected it to spawn a concept mixtape that keeps you dancing and laughing front to back. Nine months later and with the help of Action Jackson, that is exactly what’s been created. Just as Fabio was never constrained by wearing a shirt, OJ and Jackson chose not to be encumbered by genre and drew from anything including rap to post-punk to moombahton. The “Black Fabio” mixtape is an unique collection of 14 tracks that tell the saga of the titular character. Starting with the title track and moving forward through “Niagara Falls”, Oreo and Action prove why they are two of the most creative emerging artists. “Black Fabio” is available for FREE DOWNLOAD or STREAM now!

And don’t forget, if you live in the LA area, there’s a show with Chiddy Bang, Wallpaper. and Swizz Beats in Hollywood tomorrow! We’ll be there, will you? Buy tix here.

We said it before and we’ll say it again: we loves us some Mochi.

Mochipet is back with a banging new release: Chicxulub.

Mochipet’s latest release on 1320 Records ‘Chicxulub’, is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them. The album starts off with a highly compressed glitch-hop bass number ‘Dinosaur Anthems’ signaling the dark that is arriving along to where ‘Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt’ guides you through Fraggle Rawk-style landscapes in search of the young that are left to live on. The Dinosaurs eventually leave the planet, taking off in their ‘Pterodactyl Spaceship’ to new undiscovered lands. But they do not make it out easily; there are a number of alien life forms that have invaded in ‘The Battle of Dinotropolis’ (Featuring Ben Samples). With everything destroyed all that is left are ‘Fossils’ and our prehistoric creatures are left to find ‘A Home Away From Home.’ So ‘Ghost Ride The Ark’ to Outer Space we go! Whether our Dino friends make it to their new homes is unsure as ‘I Really Don’t Think We Are Ok ACE.’ The Saga is To Be Continued…

Crushing beats that are reminiscent of The Glitch Mob with that sweet Mochipet flavor. If you want to get wild in the club, or just enjoy this record at home, the track selection will allow you to do either.
