Lightning In a Bottle: a Party of All Parties

Lineup flyer web FINAL Lightning In a Bottle: a Party of All Parties

We are happy to present forthcoming HEADLINE additions to the soon approaching and much anticipated Lightning in a Bottle Music and Arts Festival 2010, presented by The Do Lab, which will occur Memorial Day weekend (May 28-31) at the beautiful Oak Canyon Ranch in Irvine, CA.

On the heels of their upcoming release “Drink the Sea”, and after a stand-out Coachella performance, The Glitch Mob will be performing along with the indie sensation Nico Vega and our cherished brothers and sisters, the Lucent Dossier Experience.

We would like to offer our sincerest thanks to all of the amazing submissions on the “Mixtape to Make the Line-up” contest. Not surprisingly our three top finalists were all unbelievable female DJ’s… The submissions have all been great and it was quite a task picking the “Grand Producer” to perform at this years LIB, but alas we have chosen and her name is KRYSTEE!

Other musical additions include Heyoka, Sidecar Tommy, Kitty D, The Luminaries, Geno Cochino, The Makers, Ron Levy, Michael Hart, Manny Greensector, Terrakroma, Motion Potion and DJ Wolfie.

Performances added in addition to Lucent Dossier include, Vau de Vire Society, El Circo, Ricochet ~ Poetic Acrobats, Fire Groove, Stilt Circus, The Wandering Marionettes and Shakti Sunfire

For full lineup and additional information visit the LIB website and stay tuned for more exciting news in the coming weeks.

CunninLynguists: Strange Journey – U.S. Tour

strange journey volume 2 CunninLynguists: Strange Journey   U.S. Tour

CunninLynguists feat. e-40 & Evidence – Running Wild (clean):”

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Dirty South hip-hop trio CunninLynguists have announced dates for their Strange Journey U.S. Tour in support of their upcoming release, Strange Journey Volume Two.

After a hugely successful European run spanning 10 countries this past spring, the U.S. portion of the Strange Journey Tour will extend for 5 weeks with fellow road warriors Grieves along with DJ/producer Budo, Los Angeles-based artist and frequent QN5 collaborator Tunji as well as Sweden’s own international hip-hop icons Looptroop Rockers, who will be taking part in their first-ever full U.S. tour.

Featuring strategic guest spots from all over the map, the release Strange Journey Volume Two picks up where Part One left off — chronicling the life of the weary traveling musician with cuts like the sleepy Seattle lament “Close Your Eyes”, featuring Geologic of Blue Scholars, Grieves and Macklemore and the Cali banger “Running Wild” featuring Evidence of Dilated Peoples and Bay Area rap legend E-40. Other guests include Sean Price, Tonedeff, Freddie Gibbs, Poison Pen and production from J-Zone and Blue Sky Black Death.

Hudson Mohawke: 7 RedBullRadiate LuckyMe Mixtape

Eclair Fifi in photo.

So we’re really feeling this HudMo mix. Lots of styles and interesting twists on tracks that we know and love, but we like them even more with nice editing all over the place. Chop chop. Music reborn and getting the pitch/tempo up is a must.

Favorite part of the mix right now is from 19:00 in to 24:39. There are definitely lots of gems throughout.

Enjoy if you haven’t already heard!
