Alchemist - Covert Coup [Instrumental LP]
The Alchemist has always been one of my favorite beatsmiths cooking up dope tracks since the 90s and providing the world with pure Hip-Hop classics with the a wide range of artist from Dilated Peoples to Mobb Deep to Jadakiss. Covert Coup is a mixtape that Alchemist did with Curren$y around this time last year that you can still download for free but the instrumentals where just released on Alchemist bandcamp for all us beat aficionados. You can stream the instrumentals free or grab a copy for $4.20 here. I recommend getting the free download and purchasing the instrumental for those hot box freestyle sessions that rejuvenate you and your friends creative juices.

Keep an eye out for officially release dates for Major Lazer album and tour and go here for Dirty Projects summer tour schedule.

Slow Magic - Sorry Safari [Music Video]
Slow Magic : Facebook | Bandcamp
I guess I'm on a roll today. I don't know how and why I always seem to stumble upon really really good music late at night/early in the morning. Maybe it's because my mind is at it's clearest point in the night. Maybe it's because day time activity and thought process is overrated. Maybe that's just how sh)(t happens. Any hoo, I clicked here and there and now we're at Slow Magic's track Sorry Safari. If you trip out to the video and want to be reminded of that visual trip each time through auditory means, you can purchase the track off of their bandcamp page here. If you like the music, but you can barely afford gas right now let alone a track, help the artist by passing the video along to someone who may enjoy it.

Artifact - Brittle Bones / Freezedry [Free Download]
Artifact : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud
I recently stumbled upon Artifact through a Resident Advisor feature on him last month. It was interesting to find out how he went from creating dubstep into his current four on the floor interpretations. I was going to hoard his track Brittle Bones for personal dj use, but being that it is a FREE download through Local Action Records I reminded myself, "Sharing is Caring". These tracks are too good to not be played on the dance floor. If you don't go from the casual head bob to full on body movements there's something wrong with you or the sound system in the club. Press Play...

Disclosure - Boiling ft. Sinead Harnett [Forthcoming Release]
Disclosure : Facebook | Soundcloud | Forthcoming on Greco-Roman 6/4/12
We first introduced you all to the two brothers back in June of 2011 and in less than a years time their music has spread like wildfire on the internet. In addition to their stellar production and amazing live stage performance, their music has been championed by the likes of SBTRKT and a whole slew of UKG producer/djs. They have yet to disappoint and for those of us here in the US we wait patiently for a tour to arrive at our shores. While we wait, we'll have no choice but to enjoy their amazing songs...

Brodinski, Pipes & Louisahhh - Bromance x Coachella [DJ Mix]
Brodinski [Bromance Records] : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud
Having experienced an amazing set by Brodinski at Dance Right @ La Cita a couple weeks ago I was left wanting more four on the floor. The dance floor was filled to near capacity. It's attendees jacked their bodies under the reflective low level ceiling. Hands were in the air and the people were happily hounding each time their favorite techno track was sound slammed. Sweaty bodies bounced back and forth to their own beat of the drum. There was no lifted stage w/ a huge LED display. There were no lazers shooting kriss kross that made your eyes jump jump. The closest thing to a go-go dancer were the pretty females salsa dancing on the semi elevated side stage. It was a proper sweaty grimey dancey chicago and/or detroit dance floor. We submitted our selves to the music and you will do the same...

Coachella Cornucopia - Arctic Monkeys - Coachella 2012 Weekend 1 [Live Video + Full Set]
Arctic Monkeys - Coachella 2012 Weekend 1
What a wonderful thing, the internet. I was in the comfort of my own home in my own room, dry and away from all matter of weather's ailments enjoying the amazing Coachella 2012 Weekend 1 Day 1 stream off of Youtube [Stream Coachella LIVE off of youtube here]. I decided to spend the day checking out artists that I was iffy about. You know, that way I can spend more time next weekend when we're actually there wilding out to the acts I really want to see. I thought, "Hmm I really liked Arctic Monkey's first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. I used to stream that album all the time back in college. I'll give them a shot." That shot was a bulls eye. High energy. Spot on performance. No errors in musicianship. Great stage presence. Commanding presence. The whole shabang. I was in the midst of cleaning up my room and I stopped dead in my tracks. So much so I just planted myself comfortably in front of my laptop and studio monitors. Press play and see why...

Monkey Wrench - Anything For You / Colombia [Rip from Dismantle's Rinse FM Mix]
Monkey Wrench - Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud
Dismantle did a facebook post about these guys from Bristol not too long ago and I was extremely happy when I pressed play. The use of the R&B Vocal samples are amazing on these two UKG tracks. The original songs were songs that we used to always jamm out to or grind to at school dances way back in the day. So for these gents to take that same nostalgic feel and relate it to music that I've currently really taking a liking to is just plain amazing. Hear it for yourself...

Coachella Cornucopia - SBTRKT - Heatwave [Live Video + Set Times]
As the days and hours go by and all of the lucky Coachella goers wait in anticipation they begin to mentally map out which artists they're going to see. One act that I'm going to try my hardest not to miss will be SBTRKT. Having witnessed SBTRKT perform in two different versions and equally enjoying both incarnations, I really look forward to their proper live performance. He performed in the Dome last year w/ Sam Xl/Pure Filth's sound system and he got everyone in the food court area dancing around with their garlic fries. This was in the middle of the day and we all agreed at that point that it would be in no time at all that he would be performing in one of the gobi + mohave + sahara tents this year. We were right...

Paving The Way To Paid Dues 2012 - Self Scientific [Music Video + Tickets On-Sale]
Self Scientific: Bandcamp.
Salute, Salutary, Salutations, Welcome to the 6th Edition of our series; Paving The Way to Paid Dues. For this edition we highlight artists who are the testament that, Good Things are Always Worth the Wait. The DJ and MCee Duo of Self Scientific have been grinding in the game since the 90's and to this day still persevere to be one of the hallmarks of underground hip hop heads everywhere. As stated in my previous posts, music, hip hop will forever be an evolutionary thing, where it will change and move with the time however Self-Scientific has always produced work from the Glory Days of progressive hip hop. I don't mean hip hop joints that have electro or house infused into them, I'm talking about the grimey, gritty, passion filled hip hop that was birthed in the late 80's early 90's and fought it's way to come up. Unlike most DJ and MCee duo's, both DJ Khlil and Chace Infinite have equal and even representation on their work, both entities combine to make music that both hits hard lyrically and musically, a delicate balance that many DJ's and MCee's have yet to master. Throughout the years Self Scientific has successfully fought against the mainstream, and have continued to make music for the people and not for the simple pursuit of the almighty dollar. Even in the work they have produced previously Infinite has always mentioned the dissolution of Hip Hop culture through monetary gain.
