Scuba- NE1BUTU [Official Music Video]


NE1BUTU is just one of many great tracks released on Scuba's latest Personality album. And If you have not already listened to the album yet, do it now because there is so many good tracks on there. But now is the music video for "NE1BUTU", it has that cool retro 90s vibe too it that makes you want to put some 90s clothes on and dance (just kidding about the clothes). Enjoy!
 

Gigamesh- All My Life ft. Jana Nyberg [Official Music Video]


Gigamesh just does not stop with the good sounds. His latest EP " All My Life " is really good, I highly advise to listen to it and purchase. Right now here is the music video for All My Life. Enjoy!

Daily Mixes- [dj mixes + Free Downloads]


Summer is heating up, were almost into July and right now I got some fresh soul, disco, house, bass. I will start off with a soul mix from Feelin Music (Tall Black Guy is the guest on this mix, it's good to hear some smooth soul). Next up is a deep Bass mix from Hedmuk (what a dope mix this is, great track selection, I prefer to download this one). I got another bass mix from dj-phonetics (this is a very different sound then the last one I just shared, from walking on the moon to juking on the street is what I think of it). And lastly a disco house mix from Goldroom
("There's a ton of really great songs on here from artists that not nearly enough people know about. I don't like hiding the music I like, so I've included the tracklisting below so that hopefully you can go find some of the music I've included.
Thank you guys so much for listening, and I hope you dig it.") Exactly what he said. Enjoy!

Goth-Trad @ SMOG Sundays - Dim Mak Studios 06/17 [Concert Review]

Flyer for SMOG Sundays 06/17 - SMOG website: smogla.com

Goth-Trad - Photo credit: Dataset
Last Sunday, June 17, Goth-Trad played out a massive set at SMOG Sundays to a very eager and bass-hungry crowd. His performance at SMOG Sundays in Hollywood at Dim Mak Studios was one of his stops for his west coast tour of the US. For those of you who haven’t heard of Goth-Trad, he’s a Japanese dubstep producer who has had several releases out on Mala’s highly respected bass music label Deep Medi Musik. Goth-Trad’s latest release was his LP New Epoch on Deep Medi Musik, which is essentially a very minimalistic yet deep and substantial album that embodies the Deep Medi vibe. He also made an appearance on Bassweight, a documentary about the origins and rise of dubstep that I would highly recommend viewing if you want to know what dubstep is really all about.

SMOG Presents: Von D @ SMOG Sundays 6/10/12 [Concert Review]



French bass music producer Von D was in town for his first LA appearance, and let me tell you, I was pumped that he was going to be at SMOG Sundays. Even though he came on a weekend that a good amount of the LA crowd was in Las Vegas for EDC, that didn't bother me ‘cause that meant more room and bass for me. Von D is underrated with his style – he brings that "sexy" form of bass music with female vocals while also bringing in that dark and deep bass. I use the word “sexy” because of his track "Show Me" – just take a listen to his latest LP "Daydreaming," and you will understand.

Electricity - Live Broadcast (06.02.12)



Frank Nitt [Feature Interview]



Detroit’s Frank Nitt has seen it all, more so than your average ‘keep it real’ MC. He has seen the meteoric rise and untimely death of friend, collaborator and certified hip hop legend J Dilla. He eye-witnessed Common record a platinum album, and Black Thought free-styling in a strip club parking lot. And he now chronicles his first hand experiences in the 48 page memoir The View from the Underground, which comes included in this brand new deluxe casebook edition album, Stadium Music. As Frank Nit puts it; ‘All of my travel, all of my musical influences, and all of my relationships… I talk about love on there, and hardship. I talk about just wanting to be a dope MC.‘ The album features beats and rhymes by Illa J, Que D, Dank, Kid Sublime, Kevin Cofield, Numbe:ra and others, plus a foreword by his personal acquaintance and adult film star Tara Lynn Foxx.” We chat with Frank to get the low down on Stadium Music and everything else Frank Nitt related.

Dank Radio: Can you give us a brief background about yourself, history of Frank N Dank, and how you hooked up with J D?

Frank Nitt: I've been putting out hip hop since 1998/99 as a member of FnD [Frank N Dank] and I began my solo career in 2008, I actually met dilla in 1986, we went to middle school together, so the music side just grew from that.. it wasnt a, I met a producer and we became friends, my friend became a producer!

Daily Mixes-[dj mixes + Free Downloads]


It's Tuesday June 12, and its time for the weekly round up of some Excellent mixes. I will start off with a house, deep house mix from Adana Twins ( i recognize a few tracks on here, solid mix to start your week off right). Now for the second mix i have a disco house mix from Debonair ( perfect for a chill day by your pool or the beach). I am going to switch it up with a future bass mix from RDG ( a very interesting but excellent mix and possibly a change in the future with the sound of bass music? ). And lastly i have mix from Wickedbad-Net ( a perfect refresher mix off all the latest bass music if your new to this press play ). Enjoy!

Ayomari & TiRon - Radio [ New Music + Download + Album Release ]


Once again Ayomari & TiRon have dropped yet another brand new track and much like their previously released "She Love Me Not" featuring ScHoolboy Q and "Here They Come" it's a banger. Released just a few weeks ago Ayomari & TiRon's new single "Radio" makes you think. The sound is down right bold and even eerie but it compliments the song's message ; Media Dictates What We Know and if we're not careful it can turn us into modern day zombies, no feelings, no thoughts, just following. The omission of social responsibility to be informed, aware and question everything that's spoon fed to us through the media only stands to perpetuate vapid lifestyles and disillusionment. So think of this song as your cootie shot for stupidity. This track is just one off their much anticipated album "HNGRY" set to drop in July. Till then, enjoy this gem of a song, question everything, and stay forever curious.

Amtrac- I'm All Yours [Official Music Video+ Came Along LP]


From Kentucky, Caleb Cornett aka Amtrac is a force to be reckoned with in the future of Electronic music with his unique and creative sound that can grip you on the dance floor. His music video of the track "I'm All Yours" is just a preview of what he has to bring to the table, so that saying  Check out his "Came Along" LP down below and listen. I have been following him for awhile and I thought to myself "About a year and he will be on the map", then soon enough on a random night his music video of "I'm All Yours" appeared on AMTV and It makes me feel more better and confident that GOOD Electronic music is still out there and the biggest music outlet in the world (MTV) is slightly progressing at that. Be sure to check him out at HARD Summer (you will not want to miss this). Enjoy!

Something from Nothing ; The Art Of Rap [ Documentary Film + Release Date + Official Trailer ]

 The Art of Rap : OfficialFacebook | TwitterIMDb

When we talk about Hip Hop today the first things that come to mind are; scantily clad women, cuss words, extravagant cars, and oodles of bucko-bucks galore. Hip Hop has somehow transformed from a powerful voice of change to something just short of a pop music - public strip club, and for me personally it's really quite dissapointing. Now if you just so happen to feel the same way, or even divorced Hip Hop because she changed on you, this is a documentary you need to see.

From Nothing to Something ; The Art Of Rap is documentary film directed by Ice-T, that shares the real story and struggle of Hip Hop, it's origins, the new life it gave to spoken word and poetry and it's rise to mass adoption.  Set to drop in theaters next week on June 15, The Art of Rap features the story of this movement as told by the legends of Hip Hop themselves like ; Afrika Bambaataa, Bun B, Doug E. Fresh, Snoop Dogg, Rass Kass, KRS-One, MC Lyte, Immortal Technique... and the list goes on and on. With the "Ratchet Movement" on it's way out, there's a chance that Hip Hop / Rap and it's lovers can reconnect to what it was really all about. So for all you NAY-sayers and all those who've divorced Hip Hop, here's a chance to fall back in Love with it, to remind us about the truth behind the music and lyrics, and possibly even spur change within the industry!

ITS Music Playground 1 Yr Anniversary @ Exchange LA | Photo by: Panda


I have never been more proud of my friends...everybody pitched in yesterday, some working 9 hours straight, to help put together I.T.S. Music Playgrounds 1-Year Anniversary show. We held it in the middle of downtown Los Angeles at the famous Exchange LA nightclub and were chosen to head a new club night. The vibe was electric and the people were encapsulated in the amazing artwork Dana Troy had worked tirelessly to complete. All I can say is last night was a huge success and it came to be by the hard work of a small dedicated army. To all the homies, to those who came simply to help, to those who stayed to see the night through and to those who turned out to check this event, I Thank you and the I.T.S. family thanks you. BOH!!!!!!! - Chris Carreiro

SMOG presents: Rustie [Warp Records] @ SMOG Sundays//Dim Mak Studios

Big ups and many thanks to Drew and everyone w/ the SMOG crew for their continued support + hospitality. By far some of the easiest + coolest cats to work with. We made the trek up to hollyhood on holiest of days, the Sabbath. For some it's a day of rest and for those like us it's a day to absorb and experience new music. We brought along our fellow alien artist travelers, Bass Commander + T'Challa Lee from the band Z, along with us so they too could experience this form of Bass music first hand...
